I went to bed early that night only to be woken by my dad the next morning. He knows not to wake me up like what is wrong with him? Clearly, this guy need help because he has no sense at all.

"What do you want?!"

"It's time to get up."

I looked at the clock. It said 7:05 am on a Saturday. It's Saturday why am I up so early?

"Why the heck did you wake me up?!"

"Because I promised my friends that I would meet them at the Grill with you."

Have you ever felt the need to punch someone? Why the hell would you do something like that? I glared at this guy I called my father with hate.

"I'm not going."

"But Call-"

"No! You shouldn't have said that! Why would you say that? Are you dumb? Are you stupid? What is wrong with you?"

"Callie all I said was-"

"I don't care what you said. It's too early in the morning. No. Oh no. Hell no. Get away from me!"

"Have you been taking your medication?"

"What are you insinuating? Are you saying that I'm crazy?"

"No, Callie, I wasn't say-"

"Maybe, I should just run away! You don't just make decisions like that why-"

"Callie! You are overreacting!"

"No! Don't interrupt me!"

My dad put his hands in his face and took a deep breathe.

"Callie please. For me? I'm your dad and I know you don't feel a lot of emotions but please."

"Fine, but don't attempt to wake me up tomorrow."

"Thank you Callie."

I got out of my warm and cozy bed and started to strip. I turned on the shower and waited for the water to get warm. I went over to my bathroom cabinet and pulled out my matches. I have this major obsession with fire that I hide from my dad. He'd really be trying to put me in the mental hospital if he knew. I'm not going there, ever. I lit the match and watched the flame flicker blue to orange. It was so amazing how something so small could be so...dangerous. I blew out the match and got in the shower.

30 Minutes Later

I was standing in front of my closet trying to find something to wear. It was already hot outside and I wanted to wear something cute and modest. So I picked this cute light blue dress, that ended above the knee, and was sleeveless. I pulled on a white half sweater and a pair of black heels. I spun around in the mirror and approved my outfit. I went downstairs to wait for my dad.

He came down a few seconds later and then we were off. It was a short ride in our new Suburban to the restaurant. Then, my song came on. I turned up the radio and put on my mini concert.

"I got the club going up...on a Tuesday"

"I got your boy in the car cause he choosy"

"Club going up..on a Tuesday"

We pulled up into the restaurant where Elena and her crew were standing. My dad looked around uncomfortably, because everyone was staring at me.

"Um, Callie, people are staring."

"Let them. They should be happy that I'm even gracing them with my presence."

We got out of the car and made our way into the restaurant. We had reservations so we just went to our table. People were already there waiting for us. Mayor Lockwood or Carol (A/N I'm keeping her alive because I like her) stood up when she saw me.

"Why look at you! You haven't changed a bit. Actually, you changed a lot!"

I smiled at Mrs. Lockwood and ignored the rude comments.

"Mrs. Lockwood you haven't changed much from your wedding picture! How old are you now? 30?"

She laughed and pulled me into a hug. I did my job today and kept my dad happy. I may not liked being up early but at least I made a good name for myself in town. I looked over my shoulder to see Wolf standing there staring at me. My nose turned up and I sneered at him. Why the heck was he staring at me?

I walked to the bar to get a refill and he was all in my face.

"The f*ck are you looking at?"

Wolf snorted and turned up his glass of scotch. His blue eyes rolled at my question before he looked back up at me from his seat.

"You. Obviously."

I looked at this dude taken aback. Who did he think he is? I will beat his candy ass! I glared at him and tilted my head.

"You date, Elena, right?"

"What's it to you?"

"Tell her that I'm going to ruin her life. Starting with her ex-boyfriend."

I walked away from Wolf after that. He stared after me as I sat down at the table and joined the conversation again. I had given the message, and now it's time to start the war.
