I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. I hopped out of bed happy for the first time in a long time. I jumped in a shower washing everything hopped out blow dried my curly hair and changed into black skinny jeans and a black V-neck. I smiled at my image in the mirror.

I ran down the stairs and was greeted by...no one. I frowned a little and then went and made some pop tarts. I walked to the living room before I sat on the couch and realized I had no one to call. I did have that kiss that happened last night stuck in my mind though.

I thought then and there I needed an drink and Jenna hid the alcohol from me so that meant I would have to go to the Grill which I wouldn't mind because I it meant I would get to see him. I sighed happily and hoped up grabbing my jacket on the way out. I had my bikes keys in my pocket from the previous night. I looked in the front yard to see my father's bike...well now my bike. I raced over to it and hoped on the bike. I started it slipped on my helmet and raced off towards the Grill.

I walked inside the Grill I saw Damon sitting at the bar with what looked like his usual, but this time he wasn't alone. There was a girl there flaunting herself all over him. It was disgusting. I saw how he was staring at her. His hand ghosted on her thigh...touching but barley touching.

I felt the breath shake out of me. I saw his eyes flicker this way, he immediately dropped his hand. I shook my head and walked over to the bar quickly. I sat on a stool and the bartender came over and said, "The usual Jade?"

I laughed and said, "Luke? What are you doing here?"

He smiled and said, "Dropped out of school and just getting by on bartending. You?"

I gave him a small smile and said, "Watching someone I care deeply for make a move on a girl who is throwing herself at him."

"Ouch, that's got hurt your rep Jade," he said laughing.

"What Rep?" I asked him mocking innocent.

"Yea what Rep I heard Mat say behind me.

"Hey Mat, " I said giving him a hello hug he laughed and said to Luke, "Jade has a Rep?"

Luke looked at me and smiled wickedly saying, "Yes she does. Being the badass she is getting into a lot of trouble with bar fights she would often flirt with guys for game."

Mat looked at me with complete disbelief. I nodded and said, "Yup that was the old me the new me is into relationships now."

Luke laughed and said, "So I heard you got caught up in another bar fight."

I gave him sarcastic smile and said, "That was not my fault."

He crossed his arms and said, "Let me guess it was you imaginary friend...what was his name?"

"Tim," I said quietly shrinking in my seat. He laughed and said, "Oh yea Tim. So let me guess your going to blame it all on Tim."

"NO!" I outbursted throwing my hands in the air for more affect. He started laughin and said, "Than who?"

"Shane and his evil twin," I mumbled through my clentched teeth.

"That dick is in town here? Why?" Luck said while Mat grabbed glasses but looked up at me with curioustiy and asked, "Who's Shane?"
