AN: Just a note to say that this story is based on the second movie if you haven't guessed already and I hope you like the story :D

Charlotte's POV...

I woke up the next morning feeling over the moon, I was home in my warm bed and I could relax without having to worry about vampires unlike I did 3 years ago, the dog I had found back then in the alley stayed and I finally named him, Ash,

I chose the name because of the grey on his fur, I felt something wet on my neck and my eyes opened, Ash was hovering above me and licking my neck, I giggled and petted him "Hi baby" I whispered, he layed down on top of me and was actually quite heavy

"Come on boy" I said sitting up, he jumped off the bed and I pulled back the quilt "I'm starving" I groaned pulling on a pair of shorts, I only wore a large shirt to bed last night it was boiling under that quilt, and having a large wolf/dog lying on you doesn't help "Mom?" I called walking downstairs "In here sweety" she replied from the living room,

I plonked down next to her and Ash jumped up on the couch before lying down with his head in my lap "How'd you sleep?" she asked reading a magazine, I shrugged "Good I guess" I replied scratching behind Ash's ear "What you gonna do today?" she asked facing me, I shrugged again and looked at her "I dunno, I need to get a job though" I said in thought

"Charlotte are you sure you wanna do that? You just got out of Hospital" she said worriedly, I smiled and rolled my eyes "Mom I'll be fine, besides it's not like I'm gonna get a job far away I'll stick within walking distance" I replied reasuringly,

she nodded "You know I worry about you Charlotte, I don't want you losing it again" she said turning back to her magazine, I sighed "Mom I was just upset back then, I know the truth now and I know he's not coming back" I said slightly irritated, Ash whined and I looked down at him "Besides I have Ash now" I said petting my gorgeous dog,

he licked my hand and I smiled "That dog loves you, maybe you should take him for a walk" Mom suggested, I knew she was trying to stall my looking for a job idea but I went along with it anyway "Alright, guess it couldn't hurt" I said standing up, I walked into the kitchen and searched through the fridge for something, I found a soda and pulled that out along with a microwaveable chicken burger

"How can you eat that junk at this time of day?" Mom asked disgustedly, I giggled "Mom hospital food is gross and I've been eating it for 3 years gimme a break" I exclaimed, she nodded "So your not on any meds?" she asked curiously, I shook my head and shoved the burger into the microwave

"They gave me some pills to calm me down if I do start going crazy again" I explained, she nodded again and I sat at the table "I'm gonna go get dressed, keep an' eye on my burger mom" I said going upstairs, Ash followed me into my room and jumped on the bed as I got changed.

I walked back downstairs and found my mom in the same spot "Is my food done?" I asked, she shrugged and I rolled my eyes "Did a beeping noise go off?" I asked, she nodded and I took the burger out of the microwave "Where you goin' today then mom?"

I asked sitting at the table "I'm meeting someone" she replied, my curiosity took over and I asked her "With who?" she faced me and smiled slightly "A guy, he doesn't live far from here actually" she said, I nodded "What's his name and what time you going out?"

I asked, she thought for a moment "His names Jack and I'll be leaving the house around half 5, I'm meeting him at 6:00" she explained, I nodded and opened my soda "Okay, well it's 1:00 now so I should find a job soon" I said trying to finish off my burger as quick as possible "Sweety you have plenty of time" she said confused, I nodded

"Yeah but you take at least two hours to get ready for a date and as much as I love you I don't wanna have to go through a fashion show again" I said, she rolled her eyes "I only did that once" she said, I held up 3 fingers "3 actully and it was the worst time of my life, everything was good but no you had to change another 50 times"

I groaned, I knew I was exagerating slight but it was really boring "I'm not that bad. So you gonna take Ash out for a walk?" she asked, I shook my head "Nah I'll leave him here" I said, I put my plate in the sink and my soda can in the trash "You going now?"

she asked with raised eyebrows, I nodded "Sooner the better momma" I replied, she nodded and I bent down to Ash's level "I'll see you later gorgeous" I said kissing his nose, he licked my cheek and I left the house.

Now I wasn't sure where I could find a job exactly but there was somewhere I wanted to go first, the diner, I entered and sat in my usual seat at the back while looking around, it had been a long time since I last sat here and it was the start of my delusional problems "What can I get you?" the waitress asked, I looked up and saw a very familiar face "Oh my gosh, Amy Peterson?"

I asked, she noticed it was me and smiled "Hey Cj, it's been a while" she said hugging me, I nodded "It's Charlotte now actually, stopped going by Cj a long time ago" I explained, she nodded and sat opposite me "How you been doing, I heard you got out of the Hospital the other day, sorry your mom tells my mom everything" she said, I chuckled

"Yeah I'm good, what about you?" I asked, she leaned forward on the table "Well I kind of broke up with your brother, we sort of drifted apart yah know? But we keep in touch a little, and I got a job here" she said motioning to her name tag, I nodded "I'm tryna find a job myself" I admitted "You could work here, I mean the last girl got fired for screwing one of the other workers on one of the tables so we have two spots open"

she said, I nodded "Yeah I guess I'll ask your boss in a minute" I replied, she nodded "Wow you haven't changed at all, apart from your hair I mean your blonde" she exclaimed, I chuckled "Felt like a change" I replied, she nodded in understanding

"So d'you want anything?" she asked, I nodded "Yeah could I just get a coke?" I asked, she nodded and stood up "It's good that your back Charlotte, everyone else kind of dissapeared after the incident" she said, I nodded and she walked away.
