Alex's POV

I had been lost in her eyes, then my eyes traveled a little lower. I couldn't help wondering if her lips were soft when suddenly they were up against mine. I was shocked at first, but melted into it. I have been spending the last 3 years imagining what it was like to kiss her, and now I was finding out that it was even better than I had imagined. I was right, her lips were soft. I was getting lost in it. It was gentle and sweet but so full of passion. I had always thought I'd be the one to make the first move. She didn't have any idea how long I've wanted this. The reason my mom beat me, and eventually killed me, was because she had found out my feelings for Mitchie. She had been suspicious when I broke up with Nate for no reason and it didn't help when she found a song I had written where I had written her name in it. She confronted me, and I told her the truth. That was the first time she had hit me. She had been completely disgusted in me, she didn't want anything to do with me. And now? I was dead. She had murdered me, and I couldn't care less. I had what I had always wanted. Mitchie was all I had ever needed.

We broke apart and I felt a mixture of confusion and disappointment. Why'd she pull away? Mitch was panting hard and then it processed. Since I was dead, I didn't need to breathe, but Mitch does. I felt like face palming. She looked confused as she tried to regain her breath.

"Wait a sec, You don't need to breathe!?" She said shocked.
"I guess not" I told her. I never had realized it before. Breathing was something everyone is constantly doing. Once you die, you stop, but you don't even realize it.
"What do you mean you guess not?"
"I just didn't notice" She seemed to think about this. I didn't really care, my mind was still occupied with the kiss we had just shared. I wonder if she'll do it again.
"Alex, Alex?, ALEX!" I came out of my fantasy world with a start. I jumped about 3 feet into the air and my wings spread out. They weren't much help, I still landed hard onto the ground.
"Ugh," I groaned. "Sorry, I was lost in my own world." I told her honestly. She giggled and helped me up. She brushed off my wings and I retracted them with difficulty.
"I'm never going to get used to having these." I moaned.
"don't worry, I'm sure you'll get used to it"
"I doubt it. So what were you saying when I-"
"Zoned out?" She finished with a smirk.
"Uh, yeah" I said. The smirk left her face as she got serious.
"I wanted to make sure it was... ok. I don't want it to be awkward between us, not that there is an us, not that I don't want an us, because I really do want there to be an us, but if you don't that's okay too, you don't-" I cut her off with a kiss of my own. Now knowing that she would need to breathe, I was the one to pull away.
"Does that answer your question?" I asked her smirking at the blush that had formed on her cheeks.
"Hmm not quite, would you mind repeating that?" I smiled widely.
"Why yes, I do believe I can." I said as we shared another kiss.

The door started to open and we pulled away startled. Mitch jumped to her bed and sat down. I walked over calmly not really worried seeing as how no one could see me. I plopped down beside her a bit lazily and slung my arm around her waist. Steve walked in the door with Selena in his arms. I felt my breath caught seeing my baby sister. She was half asleep with her cheek against his shoulder.

"Hey Mitch, Jerry needed to go into town and he couldn't take her with him, so I told him that you would watch her, is that okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine." Mitch said dismissively. Selena lifted her head a little and looked over to Mitchie, then her eyes wondered over to mine.
"ALLEY!" She exclaimed pointing at me. I sat there shocked. She could see me? I thought only Mitch could see me. I looked over to Mitch who glanced at me almost alarmed. She quickly stood up and walked over to her dad and my sister.
"Aw, Selena must be so tired she's starting to see Alex" Mitch said quickly trying to get her father out of there. Her father finally left the room and she set Selena down as she went to close the door.
"Alley!" Selena exclaimed. She jumped onto the bed and tackled me. I laughed as I hugged her hard.
"Selly!" I said with a laugh. I kissed her over and over again on the cheek. "Oh Selly, I missed you so much. Did you miss me?"
"Yes! Daddy said you weren't coming home, but I knew he was wrong!" she said happily. I felt my heart break. I couldn't go home. I was to stay by Mitchie's side, and there was the small problem of dad not being able to see me.
"Selena, I can't come home" I told her getting to the point. Her face dropped.
"Why not?"
"Because I have to stay here. But you can come see me" I told her and her smile came back.
"Okay, can daddy come too?"
"No honey, daddy can't know I'm here. Its our little secret, so no telling. Okay?"
"Okay" She said confused but she didn't question me.

About an hour later, Selena had fallen asleep in my lap while I played with her hair. Now Mitchie and I were talking quietly.
"So going back to earlier" She started. I nodded showing her that I knew she was referring to the kiss. "Where does that leave us? Is there an us?"
"Do you want there to be an us?" I asked her.
"Yes, do you?"
"Definitely. It's just..."
"It's just, what?"
"Mitchie, I love you, I've been in love with you for the past 3 years wanting nothing more than to be with you" I saw tears build up in her eyes.
"there's going to be a but, isn't there?" I went on.
"It's because that I love you I want you to be happy, I want you to get the best out of life, and me? I don't have a life anymore. I'm dead, I can't bare the thought of you wasting your life away on me. You should be with someone who IS alive, someone who can support you, someone who can get a job and meet your parents. Someone your parents can actually see"
"but I don't want that, I want you. I can't see myself being happy with anyone but you" I thought about this for a moment. More than anything I wanted to be with her, but I couldn't be selfish.
"Mitch, I had my chance at life, but you still have yours. I can't bear the thought of you regretting not finding someone else who can make you happy."
"I told you, I wont regret it. And you're here now, that must count for something. I don't think you were ever meant to die when you did. This might be God's way of giving you another chance" She told me.
"Mitch-" I wasn't sure what I was going to say, but whatever it was going to be, it was interrupted when my new cell phone went off. I took it out of my pocket, the polished white was almost blinding, but then again, it was up there too.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey, Alex?" Justin's voice asked. I couldn't help but wonder what he looked like. His voice made him sound really old, but Juliet told me he was only 19.
"Yes?"
"Hey, I was wondering if we could meet up today instead. My charge just changed his plans, so now would be the only time available." He told me.
"um just a sec." I lowered the phone and turned to Mitch who looking at me with curiosity in her eyes.
"Hey Mitch, You don't have anything planned do you?" I asked her. She gave me an "Are you serious" look. "Okay, yeah we can, but we're going to have to bring my little sister." I told him looking over to Selena's sleeping form.
"Great, so same place right?"
"Uh, yeah"
"Okay, We'll be there in a few minutes."
"Wait, if you can't talk to your charge, how can you get him to go to the right spot?"
"I have my ways" he said deviously before hanging up. Oookay. I put the phone back in my pocket knowing it'd disappear in a few seconds then reappear when someone was calling. How was I supposed to make a call with it? am I not allowed to, or will it show up randomly when I need it? Oh whatever.
"So what's going on?" Mitchie asked.
"He wants to meet up with us now."
"Now?"
"Yeah" I said making my way toward my baby sister. She's not supposed to nap for too long or she wont sleep tonight. "Sel, wake up sweetie" I said sofltly to her.
"Where exactly are we going to meet up?" Mitchie asked.
"I told you, at that cafe we used to hang at."
"So I'm supposed to sit at a table with two people that only I can see?"
"Actually no, Justin says he has something to help with that." Not that he told me what it was or how it was supposed to help.

Mitchie's POV

We got to the cafe in no time at all. It was very shocking for Alex when she found that she couldn't open a door. She had reached for the handle and her hand went right through the door like it was an illusion. She covered it up with a smile but I could tell it bothered her.

I was still a bit upset that Alex didn't think that she could make me happy. She would have to be certifiably insane to think I would ever regret being with her. I thought it was sweet that she cared and that she loved me. She loved me. That simple thought filled me with joy. Alex loved me and I loved her. Why can't she see that she's all I want and all that I need? I wiped those thoughts from my mind as we entered the cafe.

I wasn't sure how we were supposed to find Justin. Neither of us knew what he looked like or where exactly he would be sitting, How would he know who we were?

Justin's POV

I sighed as I finished the last bit of my tea. I had seated myself near the door so I could watch for my trainee and keep an eye on Max at the same time. The bell above the door rang, pulling me out of my thoughts. I almost dropped my now empty mug. Two girls just walked in. One was a brunette holding a little girl at her hip, and the other looked like an older version of the little girl. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Alex.

She looked exactly like she did last time I saw her, only a few years older. I wanted to cry I was so happy to be able to see her again. My blittle sister... Wait, no, she's not my sister. She's not the Alex from my reality.

Two Years ago, I was happy. Training for the wizard competition determined to be the family wizard. Alex, my little sister was constantly making trouble. She would cast spells that always went awry and have me fix them, but it's because of her I was able to become a better wizard. Then one night, I cast a spell of my own and it went wrong. Alex and I found ourselves in this new reality confused and lost. We were here for a few weeks, but finally I found a way to get us home. I created a portal that would only last long enough for us to jump through before disappearing. At the last second, there was a drive by. Some gangsters who thought they needed target practice. We were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I shoved Alex through the portal and could see her on the other side beckoning me over. That's when I was shot. I saw Alex's horrified face as I fell to the ground. She tried to come back through the portal, but it closed before she could make it through. I was at least able to die knowing she was home and safe.

After that, I was like every other soon to be Angel. I woke up in that office and had someone explain to me that I was dead. I told them it wasn't possible, that I had died in the wrong reality, but they said there was nothing they could do about that. For the past two years I have been a guardian angel with a heavy heart. The charge that they had assigned me to was Max. He was our little brother back in my reality. Now he didn't know who I was nor could he see me. It did bother me, but I liked knowing that I could watch over him and keep him safe even if he didn't know who I was. I also was fortunate to find Juliet in this reality. I had seen her up there, and kind of creeped her out when I just up and kissed her. After a while I was able to win her over again so now we were dating perfectly happy together. Well almost.

Now I sat here, watching Alex, the Alex from this reality. Apparently here she had a little sister, or at least I hoped it was a little sister and not a daughter. In my reality Alex had been gay, but who knows if she is in this one or not. The three of them looked around seemingly confused. I waved. If they saw me, they were who I was looking for, if they couldn't see me, it didn't really matter. They saw and started heading over.
