***Mia's POV***

***6 DAYS LATER***

Liam and I have been going up to our fort every day for the past six days. Since then he's learned about my family and my friends, but I still haven't told him about being a darker. It's not something you can just bring up like, 'Oh hey Liam! Guess what? I'm immortal! Yeah, it's pretty nice, but it's a pain in the ass to pull out a knife from your stomach. And the process to turn you into a darker is the worst. It's filled with blood and knives and stuff.' Yep. Because that was a real conversation starter.

I walk up the stairs to tell the boys where I'm going. Today is my first day back at work and I don't want them to flip out on me. They're all in the kitchen sitting around and making breakfast.

"Hey, Mia! What's up?" Jasmine asks me as she pours some coffee into a mug and takes a sip.

"Nothing much. Guys, I'm going to be at work, so if you need anything, come and see me, the addresses are on the fridge, and so are the phone numbers. If you want to get any food, I work at five restaurants so feel free to come." I say grabbing my keys off of the hook.

"What if we want to go into town? What are the taxi numbers?" Zayn asks me confused.

"The number is 555- You-Can-Walk." I say sarcastically. He squints his eyes angrily. "I'll see you guys later! Wait, where's Liam?"

"Oh, he's on the phone downstairs." Niall replies, putting some eggs on a plate.

"Okay." I turn on my heel and run out the door. I hop on my old mo-ped and drive to my first job of the day- Leklains Brewery. It was down the road a ways and I was only allowed to serve the drinks, not actually make them. I arrive and see everyone hustling around and getting things ready to start the day.

The locker rooms are really nice. They have huge lockers and a little place to get some food in-between shifts. I get a few comments about being back, but I go straight to the locker rooms and get changed into my uniform, a small dress with a black apron.

I walk out into the court yard and see my first table with six people around it.

"Mia! Over here!" a boy from the table shouts. I walk closer to see who it is...

"God, no..." I try to hide my face with one hand, the other carrying a notepad.

"Mia!" Niall shouts again.

"Hi! My name is Mia! I'll be your waitress today. Our specials today are lobster bisque, lamb served with a bed of mashed potatoes and your choice of salad and our special drink of the day, is Banana Bread Beer. Can I start you off with something to drink? " I ask politely. They stare at me for a while until Jasmine finally answers.

"Um yes. May I please have, one banana bread beer?" I nod, writing the order down.

"Me too." Zayn and Louis say at the same time. I write down 3 next to the order.

"I'll have some Ginger Ale." Liam says, still trying to call someone.

"Just water." Harry smiled.

"I'll have two beers. The special kind."

"Alright! Those will be coming right out!" I nod and walk away. I walk into the kitchen, mad as hell. What's wrong with them? Why would they come and visit me?

"Mia! Your order is up!" I hear the bar-tender shout from across the room about fifteen minutes later.

"Sorry! I'm going!" I say as I rush and get the tray. I walk back out to their table and hand them everything. I sit down and talk to some other customers who are here for the tour of the brewery. I quickly give them the tour, which normally would take about two and a half hours, but I speed it up and make it an hour. Don't ask. I have my ways...
