I'm rewriting this story because I'm going to add on to it later on. I hope you guys still like it. There's a link to Maggie's clothes and what she looks like on my profile.

I've change Aurora's name to Maggie now and she looks different so you need to go check her out.

I let out a sigh of relief as I stepped out of the taxi and took in the sight of Whitechapel for the first time all summer. I'd missed it here so much but I'd missed my boys even more than the town. Ethan and Benny, they were my best friends in the whole world and this was the longest that I'd ever been away from them.

I quickly ran to my house and placed all of my bags in the living room before running back over to Ethan's house. I was almost positive that Benny would be over there as well, they'd been inseparable their entire lives and I doubted that ended in two months' time. When I thought about it, we were all so different that it blew my mind that we were best friends.

I knocked on the door rapidly until it opened to reveal Mr. Morgan. "Benny dude, I thought you were already upstairs with Ethan. Maggie, I didn't think you were coming home until next month! I'm so glad to see you, though! The boys are upstairs in Ethan's room, I'm sure they'll be ecstatic to see you this early so head on up."

"Mom thought it'd be better if I came on home. She knew that I didn't want to be there with her so she sent me back to dads. Not that I'm complaining or anything," I smiled, walking into the familiar house.

"Well I hope things get better for you now that you're home. The boys are up in Ethan's room if you want to head on up," he said, throwing a thumb over his shoulder toward the steps.

I hugged him quickly before jogging up the stairs two at a time until I got to the top landing. I thought briefly about knocking on the door but shook it off and barged in anyways. I flopped across both of their laps and shouted, "Did my babies miss me while I was gone?"

Benny's smile stretched his entire face as he hugged me tightly. "I missed you so much! I thought you were waiting until school started back to come home, though."

I didn't respond, I just hugged him back and inhaled his scent. I'd missed him more than anyone else here, I'd been in love with him since we were seven years but I'd never had the nerve to tell him. I mean, that's not something I'd ruin our friendship over. I'm sure the crush would fade at some time in the near future – a girl could hope right?

Sadly, I had to break away from him to hug Ethan. They'd both gotten bigger since the last time I'd seen them, but seeing as we were going into our sophomore year it was expected. This was the first year that I hadn't had braces in a long time, so I guess I'd blossomed too.

"You're here just in time to see me try and do a spell without words. I hope I don't make something burst into flames like I did last time though," Benny said, sliding me onto the bed so he could stand. "If I do something wrong, tell me princess."

I stuck my tongue out as he prepared himself. I was an Earth Priestess as he was an Earth Priest; the only difference between us was that I had such a close relationship with the Earth that I didn't need to use spells. This annoyed him to no end; he always had to be better than me at everything. It used to make me mad when we were kids but nowadays I just went along with it.

"Why don't you try to do something that doesn't involve fire? Slide that desk lamp across the desk or something like that," I said, sliding of my shoes and sitting cross legged on Ethan's floor. "There's not a lot of damage you can do with a lamp."

He touched his temple and muttered something under his breath as he flicked his other hand towards the wall. Instead of moving it burst into flames and made us all jump before I held up an open palm and pulled the flames to me. I closed my hand and the flames disappeared making us all release our breath. Benny flopped backwards on Ethan's bed and flung his arm over his face.

"Ethan! Mom and dad are leaving for their date and Sarah should be here soon," Jane shouted from downstairs. "Maggie, I'm glad you're home and I love you!"

I smiled before crawling over to the door and cracking it to shout down to her. "I love you too, Janie! At least you cared enough to tell me, my best friends haven't even acknowledged my existence because I don't have a joystick or buttons."

Benny stood up and wrapped his arms around me again. "Maggie Jones, I love you so much, you're never allowed to leave me again! I can't believe you left me for two whole months; you can never leave me again. I need you like Luke Skywalker needs Princess Laya!"

I rolled my eyes before pushing him away from me. "I don't need your sarcasm, Mr. Weir. I wanted Ethan's love instead of yours anyways. I thought you knew that we'd been hooking up secretly for the last two months, I wasn't really gone."

Ethan looked at me like I was a complete lunatic. "What in the hell are you talking about? I thought you were in New York with your mother this summer."

I sighed before flopping back on the bed dramatically. "You're the world's worst actor. I was playing and you were supposed to go along with it."

I got back up and made my way downstairs just as the doorbell started to ring. I ran over to it and saw that Sarah was standing on the doorstep. She let out a shriek before pulling me into a tight embrace and rocking back and forth. We'd ended up getting really close last year because of the vampire thing and now I considered her one of my best friends.

"I can't believe that I had to live without my best friend for two entire months! I'm so glad you're back now," she said as we started jumping up and down.

"This is so hot, man! Ethan, you should have hot jumping girls in your doorway more often, bro. I'd so come over more," he said from behind Sarah.

I tore myself out of Sarah's arms and made sure that I slapped the back of Rory's head. I turned around and saw that Benny was holding my flats out to me so I took them and slid them onto my feet. Then I grabbed Sarah's hand in mine and ran into the kitchen. I made sure that I grabbed Jane as well so she didn't feel left out.

Once we shut the door behind us I sat up on the counter and face the girls. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how weird would it be if I haven't gotten over my little crush on Benny?"

Jane's face was a perfect example of disgust when I glanced over at her. "You've seen all of the disgusting things that he and my brother do and you're still into him? How is that even possible? They're disgusting."

I just ignore her and looked over at Sarah. I knew that she had a crush on Ethan as well so she would give me an honest answer that wasn't disgust. She took a deep breath before saying, "I know that you've had feelings for him for, like, ever and I honestly didn't expect you to get over him in two months. It isn't weird that you have feelings for him, it's just weird that you haven't told him about them yet."

I ran a hand down my face in exasperation of her answer. "It would ruin everything if I told him about my feelings. We've been best friends since we were four years old and I've been in love with him since we were seven. That's a really long time, Sarah, I would hate to be the reason that friendship just ended."

She nodded but quickly changed the subject. "Are you still on your vegetarian kick or can we order pepperoni on the pizza? I'm craving it like crazy."

The boys crashed through the door at that very moment with salivating mouths. I mouthed a silent "thank you" to her before talking out loud, "I don't think you would call a three year period a 'kick', Sarah. I can pick off the pepperoni if you want it that bad."

Benny jumped up onto the counter and sat as close to me as possible with his arm around my shoulders. Then he leaned over to whisper in my ear, "You know that I really did miss you, right? I love you; I just can't let Ethan see that. He'd blow it out of proportion and make it seem like I'm in love with you or something."

I felt myself deflate as his words pierced my skin but I kept my face black. I didn't want him to know that his words were breaking my heart to pieces. I just nodded and forced out, "I would hate for anyone to think that we were in love. That would be awful."

I felt a crack forming on my heart but it just matched all of the other ones. Being in love with your best friend wasn't the easiest thing in the world or the least painful.

I felt a crack form in my heart but it just matched all of the others that came along with being in love with your best friend.

Like I said earlier, I hope I get as much feedback as I did before.
