Constance and Isabel) Blake started with his shit again. Couldn’t he just leave it for once?
    Constance just stared at her nephew while he was fighting with his father about so many things.
    When it got to be too much, I stepped in.
    “Blake! Enough!” I yelled.
    “Oh shut up.”
    “No, you shut up. What is wrong with you? Seriously. Just get over yourself. I know you are trying to make me feel unwelcome here, but I don’t give a shit about what it is you are trying to do. That time is long past. I don’t care about you, the same way you don’t care about me, but what I do care about is your family and you are spoiling everything for them. So just shut up and just go.”
    He huffed and stared at me for a second before he left.
    I plunged into the chair and a minute later Tabitha came back with tears in her eyes.
    “He wants to be alone.”
    “Come, sit here.” Isabel pulled out the chair next to her.
    “He’s never been like this before.” She gave me a slight scolding look as if it was all my fault and that I shouldn’t be here.
    I just shook my head. He was making it difficult for everyone. I’d never thought he was this type of person.
    “Tabitha, you do know that he needs to Dent…”
    “Please don’t.”
    “Baby…”
    “He will forget about me.”
    “I told you it’s not going to be like that.” I stepped in. “He loves you, Tabitha, believe me.”
    “What do you mean?” she asked. On all the other’s faces, I could tell it was something they all wanted to know.
    “That time he helped me out, well he was the total opposite of this.”
    “You fell for him, didn’t you?”
    “I did, but he made it very clear that I wasn’t you. He loves you and no spell or enchantment is going to take that away.”
    Isabel and Constance squinted as I said it.
    “I meant what I said. I just need the dragon. You can have that arrogant ass if you want.”
    She giggled.
    “Well with that out of the way, we need to know how the Dent works, what triggers it,” Isabel said. “George, any ideas?”
    We all laughed and Becky just stared at him.
    “It will never happen if I say it out loud,” George said as he brought the cup of coffee to his lips.
    Becky gasped. “You’re shitting me?” She got things so easily.
    “Shush, I mean it.”
    “Oh crap, what is it?” They both started to freak me out.
    Nobody answered me.
    “It needs to come from him, anyway, so it’s not a rider’s decision.” George looked at Tabitha.
    She nodded. “So it’s never going to happen.” She had a soft curve at the lips.
    “It’s not a good thing, Tabitha,” Constance said.
    “Am I the only one that doesn’t get this?” I asked.
    Becky and Sammy laughed. The grownups looked a bit concerned and George, well he sort of didn’t look at me at all.
    “It’s not surprising,” Becky said. “You have been on your own little planet lately.”
    “Don’t worry, we’ll think of something.” Constance put her arm around me.
    Still I would’ve liked to know what it was that makes them Dent, something Blake would never do….and then I got it. I started to laugh, not the ‘ha-ha’ kind, but at how messed up this all really was. “You are all right, it’s never going to happen.”
    I shook my head and got up. “We might as well give up now. Tabitha is right.”
    I left for my room. I hated the creak more and more as I stepped over it and just fell onto my bed.
    The Dent would never happen. Because Blake would have to kiss me of his own free will.
     

 
     
     
     
     
     

     
    AMMY’S SUPPOSED SUPRISE party was that night. Dean had accidently dropped the bomb when he’d asked her what was she going to wear to Longbottom’s that night. We all went off on him which only ended up making him laugh. He sucked at keeping secrets from her.
    To be honest, I didn’t even want to go anymore. This afternoon’s revelation of what triggered a Dent was a hard pill to swallow. I really just wanted to be alone.
    But it
