Sorry it took me so long to update I had originally planned on ending the story last chapter but now after I wrote the epilogue (which I think you will all love) I decided to add more to the story alot more chapters actually. I hope you all like it please review! The song September by Daughtry was my inspiration for this chapter and the next couple. So please listen to it and it will give you a hint about the epilogue too.

"Please Ethan?" Rose begged sitting on Ethan's bed with her legs crossed, looking at her friend was sitting in his computer chair.

"I'm sorry Rose, I can't I have to be here in case Sarah comes back" Ethan looked apologetically. It hadn't been long since Sarah had turned into a full vampire and disappeared.

Rose groaned rolling onto her back as Benny walked into the room "what's going on?"

"Now that we are on break for summer, I'm going back to France to see my family. They said you and Ethan could come, but Ethan wants to stay here to wait on Sarah." Rose jolted up "but you'll come wont you?" I don't want to spend all summer with my friends."

Benny looked at Ethan; he had planned to spend the summer with Ethan playing video games. However going on a vacation with Rose sounded fun, "well I'm not sure my grandma…"

Don't worry I already asked her and she said it was a great idea. I asked Ethan's parents too but he doesn't want to go" Rose stuck her tongue out.

Benny smiled and said in a rather silly voice "count me in, French babes!"

Rose rolled her eyes "whatever you say Benny-boy, we leave at 10 in the morning" she patted him on the shoulder.

"So we are giving each other nicknames?" Benny tried to give a seductive look.

She laughed "you already call me Rosie, plus if I was going to give you a sexy nickname Benny-boy wouldn't be it." Benny frowned then caught the last part and raised an eyebrow at her. Rose rolled her eyes again, "I'm going home to finish packing you should probably do that too." Benny looked at the clock noticing it was 10p.m., Rose smiled kissing Ethan then Benny on the cheek before waving goodbye.

Ethan rolled his chair around and grinned "dude looks like you're going to France."

Benny had a huge smile on his face "I know E, hot French babes!"

Ethan started laughing "you also get to meet Rose's entire family" Benny suddenly looked worried, "don't worry I'm sure they will like you."

Rose plopped a laundry basket full of clothes on her bed and began to sort them. She pulled out a couple pair of boxer and folded them before packing them in her suitcase. Benny was always leaving his clothes here when he spent the night or would let her wear his when she needed something. She was happy to be going back home to France, it had been too long almost a whole year. She was also excited that Benny was coming along with her, she loved her family but she didn't want to be away from her friends all summer.

Rose sighed moving her hair out of her face and zipping up her suitcase before moving it over by the door. She was going away for an entire summer and was trying to make sure she had everything she would need. Rose took her clothes off and looked over to the window to see the light in Benny's bedroom turn on. She shook her head and looked over at the clock, midnight; she rolled her eyes and went to sleep.

The next day

"Benny! Benny!" Benny rolled over in his bed and groaned just as the window flew open "Benny!" he sat up. He walked half asleep over to the window where he saw Rose yelling from hers.

"It's Saturday Rose, what do you want this early?" he rubbed his eyes.

Rose crossed her arms "Benny Weir did you forget? Our plane is leaving in 3 hours."

Benny blinked oh yeah I'm going with her to France; he ran a hand through his messy hair "okay let me grab my bag."

Rose tried not to laugh "while I don't mind I'm pretty sure you need a shirt and pants if you want to be allowed on the airplane."

Benny looked down and realized he was just wearing boxers. Normally he would be embarrassed but it was only Rose, she saw him like that almost every morning. "I will be over in just a minute."

He met Rose and her mother outside; she was driving them to the airport, but not going with them. It was the first time Benny had been with Rose's mother for more than a few minutes. However the whole ride there they had rather pleasant conversations about what he was going to expect in France. "Au revoir Mama, Je t'aime" Rose called as her mother drove away, and then she turned to Benny and smiled. "Are you ready?"

"Let's go Rosie!" He held out an arm and she took it as they made their way to the terminal.

When Benny and Rose boarded their flight they were seated beside each other "I'm glad you decided to come with me."

Benny looked over at Rose who had the window seat and was staring out it dreamily, "we are going to Marseille right? I think you said that's where you moved from."

Rose looked over at him "that is where I moved from, but we are flying into Lyon and will eventually end up in Avallon" she grinned "that's where I'm actually from, I only lived in Marseille for about a year before I moved to Whitechapel."

"What's Avallon like?" Benny asked

"Rose winked at him, "you'll see, you know Benny I'm surprised that you are coming with me since Ethan didn't come."

Benny laughed "I'm excited to see all the hot French women" he winked at her "you know I know enough French to woo the women."

Rose tried not to laugh "whatever you say Benny, woo all the women you want."

"You don't think I can do it?"

Rose bit her lip "no not really"

Benny frowned "but you said I was charming and romantic, don't you remember at the dance."

Rose turned pink; they hadn't talked about what happened at the dance. She was almost sure that they were about to kiss, but Benny would never kiss her she was almost sure of that. "Yeah I guess I said that, but French women are a little harder to woo than you may think."

Benny slapped his head, "so that explains why I can't woo you" Rose rolled her eyes.

"You did woo me Benny" Benny looked completely shocked "yeah you shocked me with your weirdness" she laughed as Benny scowled. Rose put her hand on his and closed her eyes "see you in 10 hours Benny."

When the plane landed in Lyon, Benny had never been so glad to stretch his legs. Rose yawned "that was a good nap"

"What time is it?" Benny asked looking out at the dark night sky.

"1:11a.m. it was a 10 hour flight and France is 5 hours ahead of Toronto. It's about 2 and a half hour to Avallon from here so we should get there about 3:45a.m."

"I'm so tired" Benny stretched his back

Rose elbowed him "you should have sleepy on the flight, like me."

"I couldn't sleep; I might just sleep in the car"

"Whatever you say"

Rose hailed a cab and told them to drop them off in Avallon, "we are going to have to walk to my grandparent's house, I think you will like it."

On the ride Rose felt something land softly on her shoulder, she looked over to see Benny's head resting on her shoulder. She smiled softly at his sleepy breathing and moved a lock of hair from his face before kissing the top of his head. Rose shook Benny "hey wake up we are here"

Benny sat up quickly when he saw where he was "oh that's cool" he yawned.

"Come on" Rose grabbed his arm firmly pulling him out of the car and paying the driver.

"Wow this is awesome"

Rose smiled and turned around with a very I told you so look on her face "I told you that you would like it."

Benny was in awe at the place "where are we staying"

"My grandparent's house it's a short walk" Rose smiled "just follow me and enjoy the view."

Avallon wasn't the largest town but it was quaint and breathe taking especially at night. The street lamps looked like old fashioned lanterns and bathed the street with a golden glow. The cobblestone streets were everywhere and made a soft clattering noise when you stepped on them. Rose was leading him down street after street and Benny was taking in the beauty. The buildings were very old and looked medieval with brickwork in many different shades of brown and gray. A few even had what looked like a tower on the side of them, towering over all of them was a huge cathedral like building.

"Were here" Benny hasn't even paid attention to Rose at all until she spoke. Benny looked in front of them and it was a house, Rose's grandparent's house. The house was brick like all the other houses but this house was stand alone which most houses weren't. It was on the edge of town and faced out into the countryside which even though it was dark was still breathtaking. "Come on Benny" Rose said excited taking his hand and knocking on the front door.
