I'm so sorry this is late. I wrote this entire chapter last night and when I went to publish it this morning, it says story not downloaded and erases right in front of me. God. Anyway enjoy :)

•IAN SOMERHALDER'S PERSPECTIVE•

My hands we clenching into fists by time my black, sleek SUV rolled to a halt as my tinted windows recognised a familiar figure standing opposite me. I remove my car keys with my sweaty palms unsure of her reaction. Is she mad? Upset? And to top it off is it her time of the month?! I chuckle at the thought and run to her assistance.

"Morning Jules." I say smirking, supporting her under her left arm as I guide her to the car rail as she lifts her fragile body into the brand new special edition black leather upholstery. "Morning To." She says emotionless, with a bare smile lingering under her expressionless face. "How was your night?" I ask curiously as I take the steel rods and place them carefully in the back seat, moving back and buckling in Mace.

"Sleepless. Horrible. Blah." She says in an ever so descriptive manor. We both chuckle at the thought. "If I may ask myself, why?" I say politely, closing the door with little force as I walk behind the diesel fuelled car and slide in beside her, devoting my full attention to the girl of my dreams. "Those stupid 'Mian' hate comments Kept me up." She grunts, using air quotations on our shipping name. "Oh." Was all I managed to reply with.

After the traffic light left us quiet, she suddenly speaks sweetly and sincerely, offering understanding. "How was your night?" I smile and look in her direction. "Amazing. In fact two good pieces of news was delivered to me. Pick a number. It's a surprise." I say turning pettishly exhilaration into a childish game. "Two." She says almost instantaneously. "We'll I'm staying in Australia until December." I say in almost a fangirl voice filled with desperation and excitement.

"Oh my goodness that's amazing!" She says smiling with the does genuine one of the day. "I know!" I reply chirpily, placing my foot on the gas pedal. "Who are you staying with?" My heart dropped. "Um.. Well.. I just wanted to spend time with you." I blur out regretting my humiliation with crimson hues spreading over my pale complexion. "Stay at my place! My parents own a farm and I have my own property a few k's from theirs. There's room for two." She says nervously and anxiously. "Are you sure? I mean I don't want to intrude-" she cut me off. "It'd be my pleasure." She smiles as we turn off into the lot.

•MACEY'S PERSPECTIVE•

I just as a freaking celebrity girls my age gang irk over to live with me. What's wrong with me? I mutter in my head. "Here." Ian says handing me my crutches as we walk silently through the morning most and into.. "STARBUCKS!" I yell happily. "I love you Ian!" He chuckles as I attempt to run with the crutches supporting me.

As a true gentleman he opens the door as I walk in first as I nod in his direction showings appreciation. "You find us a seat, I'll order. What do you want?" He says as I sit myself next to the closest table and chair, resting the steel bars next to my ankle brace. "I'll have a decaf latte with soy milk and cocoa." I say reciting my casual order as he laughs. "Coffee it is." He says walking off with a grin as I chuckle.

Returning without my detailed order, rather two cups of heart warming caffeine, I begin to my small talk as I take slow sips from the burning cup. "You never told me the second exciting bit of news." I say as I cover my mug in my frozen clamp. "Oh well.. Have you heard of the Teen Choice Awards?" He asks as he takes a sip from his hot drink. "Yeah." I say unsure of his point. "I'm expected to receive two awards and present an award. It's in three days in Florida and I need a date. Will you go to the teen choice awards with me?" He says genuinely smiling as his eyes being to my soul. "I'd love to!" I say happily practically dancing in my seat. Thanks for the smooth moves Ellen.

"So the earliest plane out to directly Florida is 6:45pm tonight. Would you be ready by then?" He says as I choke on my burning beverage. "Sure, I only have a small bag anyway. I'll let mum know so they can organise a flight back home and on our return flight we can go directly up the coast to your new home!" I say, then regretting it as I realise my desperation issues. "Sure. I'll drop you back so you can say your goodbyes and I'll pick you up at six at your room." To replies willingly. "Six it is." I say smirking.
