A/N: I'm not gonna watch last nights episode....I can't make myself do that. Someone help me!!

"We need to talk, Maia" Sweet Pea's voice ring through my ear and I turn around to see him nod his head outside.

I excused myself from Toni and went outside with him. "What now?" I ask ready for another round of insults.

"Have you told him? Have you told Fangs that you're a....a—""—A Serpent? No. Not yet" I interrupt as Sweet Pea can't say the words.

"You should, soon. You and Fangs have been together for a few months now. You should tell him before you get closer than this, before he finds out himself—because he will, or someone will tell him" Sweet Pea says and I raise an eyebrow.

"Is that a threat? The only one who knows this is you and my mom—he hasn't met my mom yet and she wouldn't just blurt it out over dinner—so, if anyone were to tell him, it would be you. Now why would you do that?" I say and cross my arms.

"He deserves to know—I know Fangs, he's been through some pretty fucked up shit, the fact is that you two are still together, that surprised me—but that shows it's probably gonna stick. So, tell him before it's too late—if you haven't told him in the next couple of days, I will" Sweet Pea says and walks past me and bumps his shoulder into mine.

Well, fuck.

I lost my mood, I go straight to my car, as I drive home, I notice that a car from the parking lot was following me.

A black fancy car. A bit too—out of place on the Southside if you ask me.

I eye it suspiciously before checking my phone. Fangs were late and now I had left him. If he even decided to show up—he hadn't called.

I decide to pull over and wait till the car drove past me—but it never did. I get out of my car as the person steps out of the Black car and I march up to him.

"Are you following me? Who are you? Who sent you!" I shout as I near him. He looks around and then back at me and he gulps.

I push him back into his car and he puts his hands up in surrender. "Your mom sent me! My name is Charles, she hired me to follow you and protect you—she was worried someone was after you!" He blurts out.

I raise an eyebrow confused. Why would my mom do that? Because of my crazy ass uncle?

No, she wouldn't actually believe that crap. Would she? "You're lying—she wouldn't do that" I say and shake my head in denial.

"Call her, ask her—I'm not lying, I swear!" Charles says and I pull my phone out and call my mom, but eye him suspiciously while doing so.

"Mom? Have you hired a Charles to follow me?" I ask as soon as she picks up.

"Honey—I—it was for your safety! I don't know what you go around and do, you're gone and then you're home—I never know where you are. Your father was telling the truth, Maia—Clay is coming. He's coming for us, and I needed to make sure that you would be safe" she says and I deadpan.

"Oh come on! You would go as far as having your own daughter stalked?!" I hiss. "Not stalked—kept an eye on, when I can't on my own" she corrects and I roll my eyes.

"Sure that helped. Mom—call it off" I demand.
"No, its for your own safety" she says and I groan.

"Mom—""—No, young lady—you come home and we will discuss this further" She says and hang up without a comment.

I scoff and put my phone in my pocket before turning to Charles.

"She says she wants you to stop following me" I say and cross my arms. "She didn't. I know how she tells me to back down. Definitely not through you" Charles says and raises an eyebrow.
