The pounding headache seemed to have woken Heather up out of her state of mind. It hurt so much that she refused to open her eyes fearing that it would make it worse. That was when she felt the slight tingle of worry and concern wrap around her head as a cool washcloth was spread across her forehead. Heather let out a slight moan before opening her eyes to see who was aiding her.

"Look who decided to wake up" Josh smiled.

"What time is it? Where…" Heather opened her eyes wider, "Where's Sally?"

"She's fine" Josh nodded.

"Good…" Heather sighed, "I was starting to question if the spell was actually working"

"When we came back here you were unconscious on the ground with a bloody nose" Josh informed her, "That was a very powerful spell you did. You could've gotten yourself killed. Luckily for you, the spell worked just as Sally was consumed"

"It was a protection spell" Heather told him.

"You shouldn't have done that" Josh said in a slight whisper as he stroked her cheek.

Heather sighed as she felt her headache subside just by his gentle touch. She closed her eyes and slightly leaned in her head into his palm. Heather brought up her hand and placed it onto Josh's, holding his hand tighter to her skin. She wanted to know that this moment was real and not just a dream.

"I'm sorry" Heather apologized, "I shouldn't have said that about Sally"

"That's enough, Heather" Josh quickly responded.

"Josh…" Heather said slowly, "I picked poor choice of words and I'm so sorry"

"You're forgiven" Josh smiled to her, "I'm just happy that you came in time. Without you, Sally would've been dead. I don't really know what would've happened to me and Aidan"

"Josh" Heather quickly got up, "I have to get home"

"Why?" Josh asked.

"Wes is in town and had to pick up Maria from school" Heather told him.

"I left a voicemail on your machine" Josh said to her.

"What time is it?" Heather looked around his room, "How long was I out? I should call them just to see how they're doing"

"I say you were unconscious for about over an hour and forty minutes" Josh glanced at his clock.

"Maria got out of school 50 minutes ago" Heather calculated.

"Don't worry" came a voice before Sally teleported into the room, "They're both out eating at the pizza parlor. And you never told me that your brother was a total hottie!"

"You never asked" Heather smiled and shrugged.

"Sally?" Josh questioned, "Heather, what is she saying?"

Heather snapped out of the small moment of happiness and then realized something that made her sad. Josh couldn't see Sally at all for whatever reason. Her protection spell came too late and now her boyfriend was never going to see one of his best friends again. Heather sighed, reached out, and grabbed onto his hand with a firm grip.

"She's been watching over Maria" Heather told him.

"Good, Heather, you look sad" Josh noticed, "What's wrong?"

"You're never going to see her again"

"That's not true"

"Don't worry about it, Heather" Sally put in; "After he turns into a werewolf again tomorrow he's going to see me everywhere. He'll get sick of me the minute he comes home"

"She's making fun of me, isn't she? I'm not surprised" Josh rolled his eyes, "She's luck I can't see her. Or even hear her for that matter. I'm starting to wonder if I have the better end of the deal. I should really cherish this moment away from her"

"Ass" Sally mumbled, "I'm going to make his life living hell. He was such a little child before you came around. Thanks to you now I think he has more balls to say stuff like that"

"I think she just gave you a compliment" Heather smiled to Josh.

"I'll leave you two lovebirds alone now" Sally told her before she disappeared.

Heather smiled and turned to look at Josh to notice that his face was inches from hers. She gave a slight intake of her breath as she felt his lips lightly touching hers. She closed her eyes as she kissed back and placed her hand on the side of his face. Heather breathed in the smell of his aftershave just as he slowly got up but left his head inches from hers.

"All is forgiven?" Josh asked.

"For now" Heather giggled.

"Good" Josh whispered before he brought his head back down and kissed her once again.
