"Do you believe her?" Ethan asked me as we sat in my bedroom. We had been running over our whole conversation and unexpected meeting with Adeline Barrett since we got back.

"Yeah I do. That book she had. That's the real deal. Even if she isn't Adeline she still knows more than we do. I'm more curious about the spell. If there is such a spell, why didn't we find it earlier?" Ethan shrugged and leaned against the wall. I fiddled with my necklace. If she's telling the truth than we could actually beat this thing. But, even then, the consequences of what we've so desperately been chasing are astronomical. I glanced up at Ethan who was staring at me. He smiled and my heart began to race. We haven't been this close to each other since we broke up. I desperately missed him but I knew that pushing the situation wouldn't help anything.

"So, if this spell is the real thing and we can break the curse, what does that mean for us?" Ethan blurted all of a sudden. His cheeks turned slightly pink and he rubbed his hands together.

"What do you want it to mean for us?" I asked hesitantly. He shrugged and looked at the ground. I know he's still hurting from the situation with John and me. I was about to stand up when I noticed something glinting in the corner of my room. I walked over to it and picked it up. It was a small pin. I heard Ethan walk up behind me.

"What's that?" He asked.

"I don't know. Have you ever seen it before?" I began to pass it to Ethan but it glowed red and then Ethan and I were thrown into another room.

"Shit!" Ethan exclaimed as he hit the concrete floor. I glanced around and automatically knew where we were. The blanket in the corner and the leather jacket tipped me off. This was where John and I supposedly had sex.

"Where are we?" Ethan asked. I couldn't bring myself to tell him. We stood in the center of the room for a couple of seconds when the door flew open. A very drunk John and me staggered into the room. Oh my God! We were seeing past events again. But, he can't see this! I turned to Ethan would had already put two and two together. He was staring at our figures with a rage I've never seen in his eyes. My other self stumbled onto the blanket and John followed. We laid next to each other for a few seconds before he turned to my other self.

"I really love her. Liv, I mean. She's just so brilliant." He slurred before kissing the other me. Ethan slammed his fist into the wall and I could see tears forming in his eyes.

"Ethan." I said but my voice echoed. My other self had said Ethan's name as well. I watched as John pulled away and the other me began to cry. John grabbed another blanket and draped it over my shoulders. He was apparently sober enough to know when to stop.

"I'm so sorry." The other me said silently before covering her face in the blanket and beginning to sob again. John looked down at me and then left the room. I heard the motorcycle rev and drive off. The other me fell asleep only a couple of minutes later. Then, it felt as if the memory was put on fast forward. The next thing I knew it was sunlight and John came back in. He looked even more drunk than when he first came in. He stripped his shirt off and fell onto the blanket next to the other me. The memory went onto fast forward again and I saw my other self jolt up and then we were torn out of the memory. Ethan and I landed back in my room and the small pin was gone. Ethan and I glanced at each other.

"We didn't do anything." I whispered mostly to myself. Before my thoughts could catch up with the events that just happened, Ethan lunged forward and kissed me. I gasped as Ethan knocked me off balance and we went tumbling onto the floor. Ethan landed on top of me, which hurt a little, but I ignored the pain. Without even thinking of the consequences I grabbed Ethan's shoulders and crushed his body into mine. Ethan groaned and picked me up from the floor. It took some maneuvering but Ethan got us onto my bed without breaking the kiss. He pulled away slightly and I gasped for breath.

"Ethan." I had to stop him but my body wouldn't let me. Ethan's lips found my neck and he began to trail kisses across my neck and down to my collarbone. I shivered from sheer delight and gathered the material of Ethan's shirt in my hands. Ethan sat up abruptly only to tear his shirt over his head and meet my lips again. My hands smoothed up and down his torso and I shivered again. His body felt like it was on fire. Ethan's tongue slipped into my mouth and we began to fight over dominance for the kiss. After a few seconds, I gave up and Ethan's kissed became much more intense. I couldn't think properly. All I could feel was Ethan. His lips and his hands. His hands had maneuvered my blouse open without me noticing. His hands found my breasts and he began to knead them gently. I gasped and Ethan began to kiss my neck again.

"I love you." He mumbled over and over again against my neck as his hands moved from my breasts to my waist. He pulled me into him and I gasped again as our bodies crushed together.

"It's nice to be able to kiss isn't it?" Ethan and I jumped up. Adeline was standing beside my bedroom window with a mischievous smirk on her face. I began to button up my blouse and I heard her chuckle.

"Enough play time. We have things to do."
