The Witch and The Hybrid

Chapter 5-Michael's P.O.V

I'm laying in my bed staring at the ceiling, her face and the sorrow in her eyes replay in my head. My phone beeps, I pick it up and see a message from Emma telling me she's home. I put my phone back and tears threaten my eyes, I hate keeping secrets especially from her. She's been my best friend, my rock since kindergarten, I've never lied or kept anything from her ever until now and it's killing me on the inside. I sigh and close my eyes letting sleep take me over.

Knock knock, I wake up to someone knocking on my door. "Who is it" I yell out in annoyance, I pick up my phone to see the time, it's 9 o'clock in the morning.

"There's someone downstairs for you sweetie" I hear my mom say through the door.

I let out a groan then get off my bed and walk to my dresser to grab a shirt, I throw it on as I head out my door to go downstairs. i head into the kitchen where I'm met with someone I never expected to be at my house, Emmett Tyler. "What are you doing here?" I ask folding my arms across my chest.

He steps towards me then extends his hand to me "I'm here to apologize about the way I've been treating you and how unsupportive I was last-night" he said with empathy .

I look at him debating if he's for real or not. "Why are you apologizing now?" I asked looking at him confused.

He lowers his hand then rubs the back of his neck "Okay, so last-night Emma told my dad about how I reacted to your news and let's just say my dad wasn't too pleased with me" he said looking at me sympathetically. "Look we were friends once and we kinda drifted away from each other but maybe we could be friends again. What do you say?" he extended his hand again.

I took his hand and shook it "Alright, I guess it couldn't hurt to try" I said with a nod.

"So, how does the mating thing work when you're half genie? Don't genie's have multiple wives or something like that?" he asked me as we sat down at the table.

"You know I turned 18 a couple weeks ago, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I remember, happy belated birthday by the way" he says with a smile.

"Well I had my vision and yesterday the Elders gave me my scroll and it turns out that the same girl from my vision is the only name on the scroll" I told him.

"Seriously?" he says shocked. "Does Emma know?" he asked.

"I told her last-night, but I couldn't tell her who she is and let's just say your sister wasn't too happy about it" I told him with a disappointed look.

"Give her time she'll come around, she knows the rules, she knows you can't talk about one mate until you both have your visions" he reassured me.

"I hope you're right, I don't know what I'd do if I lost her friendship" I tell him looking down at my hands.

Emmett put his hand on my shoulder "She might be hurt and mad now but you're her best friend, she'll never be able to stay mad at you" he tells me with confidence.

I let out a sigh then smile "Thanks man" I nod at him.

Emmett picks up him phone to look at the time "As much as I would like to stay and catch up but I have to meet my dad for our suit measurements" he says getting up.

I nod at him "Talk to you later man" I say to him as he walks away. I walk over to the frig and grab the cream cheese then walk to the counter and throw a bagel in the toaster. I grab a mug out of the cabinet and touch the rim with my finger and coffee fills up the mug, I take the bagel out of the toaster and spread cream cheese on it then head up to my room with my food and coffee. I don't have anything to do today so I just planned on staying in my room all day.

Emilia's P.O.V

I feel the sun's warmth on my cheeks as it shines through my window, I slowly open my eyes just enough so the light doesn't burn my already sore eyes. I spent most of the night crying and feeling sorry for myself, my heart feels empty like all my hopes and dreams have been ripped out of it. I've known Michael since Kindergarten then in fourth grade I started seeing him differently, I started fantasizing about him, my heart would beat so fast and I wouldn't be able to breath when ever he was around. I eventually realized I was falling for my best friend so I learned to control myself when he was around but I knew our friends could notice.

"It's not fair" I tell myself as I pull a pillow over my face so I could scream in it, I take the pillow and put back on the bed next to me then sit up and rub my face with my hands. I run my fingers throw my hair then pick up my phone to see if there's any new messages or calls, there's nothing. I sigh and put my phone back on the side table, I push the blankets off of myself and get up off the bed and head into my bathroom to get started on my morning routine.

I step out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and one around my hair, I walk into my huge walk-in closet to find something to wear. I walk out with a pair of black turned up shorts and a black tank top, I walk over to my dresser a grab a pair of black lacy boy shorts and matching bra. I get myself dressed then sit down at my vanity desk, I take a good look at myself in the mirror. I can see dark circles under my eyes and red bulging veins covering my eyeballs. "Ugh, I look like crap" I say out loud.

"You sure do" I turn to see Emmett stand at my door with his arms crossed over his chest.

I glare at him "What so you want?" I hiss at him as he pushes away from the door frame and walks over to me.

"I just got back from Michael's" he states placing his hands on my shoulders and rubbing them. "He's really miserable because of you" he says looking at me through the mirror.

"Why is it my fault?" I ask with a raise brow.

"Because you're mad at him and he knows you're hurt over the whole soulmate name thing" he tells me coming to my side and kneeling next to me. He looks into my eyes "He's hurting too Emma, it's killing him inside and out keeping this from you. He wants desperately to tell you but until both of them have their visions the rule say nobody can know" he tells me with both sincerity and sorrow in his eyes.

After hearing that I'm making Michael feel bad for something he can't control I start feeling guilty "You're right" I tell him. "I guess I'm just jealous" I say looking away from him.

"Why would you be jealous?" Emmett asks me curiously.

"You wouldn't understand" I tell him with a sigh, and he wouldn't understand because as far as I know he's never been in love. He always told me that he was waiting for his soulmate so he could fall in love with her.

"Try me" he pushes me to tell him. "I promise i won't tell anybody, what ever you tell me stays in this room between you and me" he promises me.

I let out a small sigh then look at him, "I'm in love with him,I have been for a long time" I tell my brother who just stares at me. He just stares at me, I can tell he's trying to process what I've just told him. He stands up then walks to my bed and sits on it, he rubs his face with his hands then looks at me.

"Does he know how you feel?" he asks me with concern.

"No, I don't think so" I reply looking at his concerned face. "What does it matter anyway? He knows who his mate is and it's not me" I say trying to hold back tears. Emmett just stares at me and I could see tears threatening to leave his eyes, I'm almost taken aback cause he never cries, ever.

"You need to tell him Emma, he deserves to know even if he's meant to be with someone else. He's so miserable right now because he's afraid of losing you as his best friend" Emmett tells me getting up off my bed. "Just think about it okay" he says walking out of my room closing the door behind him.

I stare at myself in the mirror taking in everything Emmett told me. I know I shouldn't be mad at Michael, he's just following the rules and it's not fair to expect him to go against them. I guess when the time comes I'll just have to be happy for him, besides I'll be getting my soulmate vision in two weeks so there's no point for me to remain jealous.
