I felt better after Tara left, because I felt bad that we haven't really talked about much after I met Bill. I knew it was my fault but I really couldn't make myself to talk about it with her. I also feel better now that I don't have to worry about her mother anymore; I was always worried that someday she would hurt Tara so much that someone would call me from the hospital. It was a really small town, so almost anyone knew about Lettie Mae's alcohol problem.

The day after Tara left was pretty uneventful. I don't think that anyone was mourning about Bill Compton's death. Sam didn't know that I wasn't seeing him… or really cared about him anymore so he was worried about me. No one really knew that even if they saw us in the bar the other night. They probably just thought that it was our first fight or something.

"Sookie, listen, I heard about the fire. I'm really, really sorry," Sam told me after I got work.

"Sam…"

"How are you holding up?" he asked me.

"I'm fine," I told him.

"If you need time off…" he trailed off.

"I am perfectly fine, Sam," I said smiling at him. He was a really good friend for me.

"Did Bill survive?" he wondered aloud.

"No, I don't think so," I told him and he watched me weirdly.

"You're… not mourning him? You don't miss him… at all?"

"You have no idea. Anyways, no need to worry about me. I'm great," I told him before I walked away from him to get to the work.

I met Amy after I talked to Sam. I was a little worried for Amy, because he was dating my brother. I loved my brother to death, but he was a man slut and I didn't really know what was going on with him lately. I still didn't know why he needed to steal those candle sticks.

"I've been admiring your necklace all day," I told Amy as she dried a glass and I was cleaned a table next to her.

"Oh, thanks, it's a lariat. I made it," she told me as she touched her silver necklace.

"You make jewelry?" I wondered aloud after I moved to the next table.

"It's an easy way to earn extra money. I can make you one, if you want," she informed me.

"Thanks, I would like that," I told her. There were too many vampires around these days so besides a nice necklace it would burn a vampire if one would attack me.

"You know my brother is a dog, don't you?" I had to ask her.

"I'm sorry?"

"He's all charm and smiles in the beginning, but the second he gets tired of you…" I told him as I walked closer to her, "… he's gonna stop calling. Before you know it, he's off with some other floozy."

"Not… not that you are one," I added quickly after she smiled at me, "But trust me, it's as regular as the seasons. You seem like a sweet girl. I don't want you to get hurt."

"You know, I don't think Jason's realized even half of what he's going to be. I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I think you might be surprised at what he's capable of."

Someone knocked my door after Arlene and kids were gone. I was babysitting Arlene's kids as she was in a date with Rene. I didn't look who was behind my door before opening it.

"Sookie," he said with his terrible accent. Oh my god he was alive.

"Bill," I said shocked.

"Can I come in?" he asked me and before I could protest, he was inside my house.

"Bill…" What should I do now?

"Now let's talk about the fact that you told Eric Northman that you aren't mine. Why did you do that, Sookie?"

"W-Well you see—"

"What are you doing here, Bill?" Asked another voice. Eric Northman was starting to be my own personal hero. He was always saving me from Bill.

"She's mine. I have every right to be here," Bill said to Eric.

"She told you that she's not yours… with a lot of witnesses. As your sheriff I command you to stop stalking this girl. Now Sookie…"

"Yes?" I asked him.

"I texted you three times," he simply said.

"How do you even have my number?" I wondered aloud.

"I have my ways," he smirked at me.

"Even if Sookie doesn't admit that she is mine, she still has my blood in her system! As a vampire law—"

"She doesn't anymore, does she?" Eric asked Bill.

"She does! It hasn't been long enough—" Bill started to say, but paused when I guess he noticed that in fact I didn't have any of his blood on my system anymore.

"How?" Bill asked shocked. I started to reply to him, but Eric stopped me.

"It doesn't matter. I won't see you around Sookie Stackhouse ever again, do you hear me?"

"You can't command me to do that! I was acting after my queen's orders!" Bill yelled and noticed a second too late, what he said.

"You did what?" I asked him as I let a one tear escape from my eye. I didn't feel for Bill anymore, but it still hurt to hear that he never cared about me.

"You approached me that night at Merlotte's because some queen wannabe told you to?!" I screamed at him.

"Sophie-Anne is a vampire queen of Louisiana," Eric told me.

"Ok. So she is a queen?" I wondered aloud.

"Yes. Now are you going to tell her about letting two psychos beat her within an inch of her life, so you could feed her your blood the night you met?"

"Oh, my God," I said, because somehow I knew this to be the truth. Bill didn't even try to deny it.

"Leave!" I yelled at Bill. "Get out of my house! Don't ever come here. Don't ever call me. Don't ever talk to me. Ever. You tried to manipulate me into falling in love with you! I rescind my invitation."

"No!" Bill yelled as my rescinding flew him out of my house. I didn't even notice that I was crying until I looked at Eric.

"Please stop that. It makes me feel disturbingly human," Eric said before taking a hold of my face and wiped my tears away with his fingers.

"I have a favor to ask you," he told me.

"OK," I told him as I rubbed my eyes, "Come in." I wanted this over with. At least I got one night without any Bill drama. I guess that is what they mean when they talk about calm before the storm.

N/A: Sorry for the long wait and about my last N/A :D What do you guys think about this?

I wanted to move things a little so Bill found out about his blood removal and Eric informed Sookie a bit about the other thing.

Sookie didn't get angry with Eric like in the show because he's been helping her, a lot to get away from Bill and didn't wait so long to casually tell her how the love of her life manipulated her into falling in love.

Sookie didn't even care about Bill but it still got to hurt very much to hear Bill's motivations.
