Shopping wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

It was a thousand times worse!

They dragged me around to so many goddamn stores, half of which I didn't know were in the mall or even existed, and then they tried to play dress up with me like I was their own personal life-size Barbie doll. But the worst was when Romeo had to explain to me how to get into a damn corset! He had to think that I was mentally retarded or something by that point. I had never been more embarrassed in my life!

Luckily, I was able to sneak off to the arcade. I got in nearly two hours of video games before they found me. I fell asleep in the backseat—I was up way too late last night and got up way too early—but immediately woke when a new smell filled the car: Georgiana.

The bitchy redhead called Abigail while we were passing through Bellingham; she wanted a ride since she got caught in the rain. Of course she snarled and growled at me the entire time. Romeo even had to trade seats with her so I didn't have to sit next to the criminally insane vampire. But that put me stuck in the back seat with Romeo, who kept giving me those large, puppy dog eyes of his. The vampire was amusing when he wasn't trying to hump my leg, but it didn't distract me from the bitch in the front seat who wanted to kill me.

The snarling redhead turned around in the passenger seat and glared at me. "You need to leave my bloody brother alone, you stoney wanker!"

"Huh?" I turned to Romeo who was groaning. "Translation?" I asked.

Romeo shook his head. "Broke bitch, in essence."

"Oh," I said and nodded my agreement. "Is that all?" I asked condescendingly.

The long string of profanities that flowed from her lips was impressive but I only understood every sixth or seventh word, most of which would have made my brother blush!

Finally Abigail couldn't take it anymore and slammed on the brakes, sending the irate redhead smashing into the windshield, and slamming both me and Romeo against our seatbelts. Mine didn't catch fast enough, and my face smashed into the back of the driver's seat.

"Ow," I complained, pinching my nose.

For being a kick ass werewolf, I got nosebleeds ridiculously easy, and at that moment, my nose was starting to bleed. Usually this isn't a big deal; it simply translated to a ruined shirt or a stained bandana.

However, in a car full of vampires, a bloody nose was a big effing problem.

As if everything was in slow motion, I raised my gaze to Romeo and he was staring at the red seeping from between my fingers with black eyes, his usually handsome face twisted into something else, something vampiric. The bitchy redhead looked even crazier, her pouty lips were pulled up into a snarl, exposing her seemingly elongating fangs.

This sucks.

"Jay Dee, get out of the car. Now, " Romeo said through clenched teeth.

He didn't have to tell me twice.
