I watch as Heather shoves Maddie into the car. Who is she? She's so immature! I don't even care that she picked Elsie's car, I don't want her in my car anyway. I slide into the driver's seat and slam the door, I can feel Taylor's eyes on me. "What?" His forehead creases into a frown.

"What is your problem? Why are you so grumpy all of a sudden?" I scowl at him.

"Nothing, just leave it alright?" I snap, slamming the car into reverse.

"No, I'm not just going to leave it, tell me what's wrong." His hand rests onto my leg, concern in his eyes, I sigh aggravated by the situation.

"You're going to call me stupid for acting like this." I shake my head and stare at the road ahead of me.

"I promise you that I won't, okay?" I hesitate for a second, drumming my thumb on the steering wheel.

"I don't like that Heather person, like who does she think she is? Just strolling in after God knows how many years and ruining something that we've been working on for weeks! I mean seriously? She's meant to be respectful and mature, she's the complete opposite! I don't think I can trust her in our house, she might break something! And she didn't pick my car Taylor! Who wouldn't want my car? Look at it!" I take in a deep breath and slump back into my chair. Taylor is silent next to me, he's probably trying to process what I have just said, I don't think I took a breath throughout the whole thing.

"Okay, I agree with you that she is a bit silly at times, I also agree that she has come back and ruined everything. But baby, you haven't given her a chance. You might end up liking her if you actually have a conversation with her. Elsie seems to like her and she's best friends with Maddie, so that's a good sign right?" I can't believe that he is actually going against me right now, he should know that being my boyfriend means that he has to automatically agree with me on everything.

"So just because Elsie likes her that means that I should?" We are nearly home and I don't really want to be having an argument with Taylor in front of everyone. Today is our day off, I don't want to be the one to ruin it, besides, Heather will probably do it for me.

"Did I say that? Chelsea, stop this, just give her a chance would you?" I pull into my parking space at the back of the house and let out a sigh.

"Fine, I'll let it go." I pull out the key, open the door and slam it shut.

"Well it doesn't sound like you're going to." I glare at Taylor over the roof of the car and press the button to lock it. Before he can say anything else to irritate me, I make my way around the side of the house, down the driveway and into the house. The glass bowl clangs loudly as my keys drop into it. Elsie isn't home yet as I couldn't see her car and her keys aren't here either. I make my way up the stairs feeling that Taylor is close behind me. I open my door and shut it not caring if Taylor is there or not. Ok, maybe I'm being mean and taking all of this too seriously but Taylor is meant to be there for me. I will go and see him in a little while after I've calmed down and had a think. I flop down onto the bed burying myself into the cushions and pull my silk blanket up to my eyes. What am I doing with my life? I had dreams of becoming a fashion designer, making beautiful clothes, living my life! Not this, not knowing whether I am going to die each and every day, not knowing what is around the corner. I don't know what my future holds for me, I no longer go to university, I live in a massive house which is great I suppose but it doesn't feel like home and most of my friends are supernatural creatures! I close my eyes and think about Alex. I miss him, I miss his voice, his laugh, I even miss the way he would caress Elsie's face, it's just so sweet. I hope that they find a way to help them soon because I need my cousin back and Elsie certainly needs him back. Alex was the perfect person to go to in times like this, he's a great listener, he always knows what to say. Now I'm just laying in my bed on my day off sulking, alone and talking to myself. I think I'm going to go for a shower, relax and then present myself to everybody as a new and less grumpy me. I pull off the blanket and head over to my clothing racks. Hmm, what do I wear today? I'm still wearing my pyjamas, we didn't get the chance to change this morning, in fact we didn't get the chance to do anything with Lea hammering on the door demanding that I drive her to the holding shed. Why doesn't she drive herself? Or get somebody else to drive her? Surely she can magic herself there? I don't know, maybe that's why I'm so cranky today, every princess needs her beauty sleep right? I grab my peach coloured jeans and a cream lace top along with my cream knitted cardigan and head for the bathroom. I crack open the door and peer out to see if anybody will catch me. With the close clear, I run across the landing and jump into my bathroom locking the door behind me. I press the button on the wall to start up the sauna, a sweet flowery smell fills the room. I breathe it in heavily, sighing happily. This is just what I needed, some me time to relax. I walk into the shower and shut the door. The hot water soothes my aching muscles, my skin is tingling.
