Chapter 9: What to Do

Emily's POV

Ughh! This is so confusing! I don't know who I like better, Jayden or Mike. It's been a few days since Mia told me that Jayden really did like me. Even though I kind of knew before she told me.

Right now, I'm pacing back and forth in my room, since they finally let me come back here, but then I flopped on my bed and pushed a pillow in my face. My arm was feeling alot better, so in a few days I will be able to fight with the rest of the team. Since Ji can be stubborn, I'm still stuck doing nothing in the house. I can't even train with the others, only stand by and watch.

But anyway, back to my deep thinking. What to do, what to do! I still can't decide who I like the most.

I like Mike because he's so funny, cute, caring, and sweet. Whenever we go somewhere and it starts to turn boring, Mike can lighten up the mood and change it to us having a great time. Even if we're just sitting around watching a movie. He's so sweet and caring because I remember that when the nighlok had taken my soul, Mike was so determined to get my life back. He even said that he would become a nighlok to save me.

But then there's Jayden. At first I only liked him as a friend. Unlike Mike, he didn't start talking to me right away like Mike did. That's one reason why I like Mike. But as time went on, Jayden started talking to me more and actually spending alittle more time with me. Like Mike, Jayden's caring, sweet, thoughtful, and cute. But in his own way. He's really thoughtful because he likes to bring me things that he thought that I would like.

Both Mike and Jayden are very different also. Jayden's shy but Mike isn't. I think that's why it feels easier to talk to Mike than with Jayden. But I hang around Mike more so I'm more use to him. Not so much with Jayden. It's just that, Jayden always keeps to himself. Never letting hardly anyone know his real feelings that are inside him. Maybe if I got to know Jayden alittle more, then I would know more about how he feels and what he feels.

Ughh! It's is sooooo hard and confusing! I took my pillow off my head to let myself breathe and stared up at the ceiling. I heard footsteps coming down the hall and into my room. I looked up and saw it was Mia.

"Mia, can I ask you something?"

"Of course. Is this that deciding thing between Jayden and Mike?"

"Yupp. I don't know what to do. I've never had to do this sort of thing before. So can you tell me so advice?" I asked as kindly as I could.

"What I can mostly tell you is to follow your heart and to listen to what is has to say."

"Well, that's kind of hard since all my heart says is thump, thump, thump, thump."

Mia laughed. "You know what I mean." She then started walking back to the door until I stopped her.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Into the kitchen. I can't make up my mind if whether I want to cook something with chicken or something with fish in it for dinner. So I think I'll make both and see which one everyone likes better."

Before she left, I stopped her again.

"Wait! I'm umm actually still feeling alittle sick so... uh.. you can make the servings smaller since I'm not eating." I hesitated slightly, hopeing she wouldn't notice me trying to not eat her food.

"Ohh, ok Em. I hope you feel better." Mia said as she left the room.

I made a silent sigh of relief to myself. I mean, Mia is a wonderful girl but her cooking isn't so wonderful.

Suddenly, I gasped. I just thought of an idea that I think will help me on choosing Jayden or Mike.
