Hey, I was scrolling down the crossover page when I realized that this story got to the second page... I didn't realize it had been THAT long since I've updated. Sadly I can't seem to concentrate on this one so please just bear with me.
Mitchie's POV
I walked into the cafe with Selena on my hip and Alex close behind me. I scanned the restaurant not really sure what I was looking for when my eyes landed on a guy with dark hair and looked to be no older than 19. What caught my eye was that he was staring at Alex. Emotions passed through his face. First there was happiness and excitement, which was replaced with grief and anguish. He watched Alex as she looked around the cafe. She hadn't noticed him watching her. He finally concealed all his emotions making his face look blank, but I could still see sadness in his eyes.
He started waving at us as Alex finally turned and saw him. We made our way over to the table and sat cautiously. We didn't know if this was Justin or not so we both decided to let things play out before giving ourselves away.
"So you're Alex" he said to her then looked to me. "And you're her charge." Alex was confused and so was I, at first. Quickly I was able to find out how he knew.
"How'd you know that?" Alex asked him puzzled. He opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted.
"He's an angel. I'm supposedly the only mortal who can see them, so seeing as how we saw him wave us over we had to be who he was looking for. Also, he noticed that I opened the door and am carrying Selena, Angels go through most solid objects." I had seen him watching us carefully as we entered before he had been staring at my best friend.
"Impressive, but how could you know for sure that I was an angel?" He seemed to challenge me. I wasn't scared of him, I stared right back at him with and smirked.
"Your wings showing." I told him. He looked to see that I was right, a few feathers were peeping out the side of his shirt's collar.
"Ah yes" he cleared his throat sheepishly as he retracted his wing properly."So Alex, I see that you were a wizard in your life?" he asked. Wizard? Alex's head snapped toward me as she watched me carefully, waiting for a reaction.
"Wizard?" I asked thinking I hadn't heard him right. He doesn't literally mean wizard with the pointy hats and casting spells does he?
Alex had a guilty expression on her face telling me this was no joke. Apparently there was a lot I didn't know about my best friend.
"Yeah, but how could you tell?" Alex asked Justin avoiding eye contact with me.
"Because your sister can see me and you, so unless she'd dead, she has to be a wizard. Wizards can see angels when the angels want you to see them, kind of like a magic cloak to disguise yourself."
I tried to wrap my head around this, but failed. I figured I wouldn't comment until later when I'm able to clear my head.
Alex's POV
Mitchie hasn't said anything since Justin said i was a wizard and I was worried. She had an expressionless face, giving nothing away. Justin was explaining something I was supposed to know, but I wasn't listening. I was freaking out over Mitch. Was she freaked out? Was she mad that I hadn't told her? Did she not believe it?
"Alex?" Justin snapped his fingers in front of my face trying to capture my attention.
"Huh?" I said smartly. He smiled a little before going back to being expressionless. What was this guys deal? Why was he being so... Stoney?
"I was saying that I think we should start with flying lessons. Juliet tells me you need some help with that."
"Well uh, maybe" I said my cheeks tinted red.
"Okay so we'll go outside, Mitchie? Do you think you could watch my charge for me?" I saw that she seemed to have been lost in thought and had just now started tuning us back in.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure"
"Does anybody listen when I talk?" Justin said in mock outrage.
"nope, not really" I told him. He rolled his eyes at me before turning to Mitchie.
See the boy over there? The one with the red shirt?" he pointed to a boy who sat on his own at a corner table, he was blowing bubbles in his soda.
"Yeah"
"His name is Max, why don't you go introduce yourself and make sure he doesn't get into to any trouble." I could tell Mitchie was annoyed with Justin. Probably because he said it like he was asking, like she had a choice. I knew how she hated that. With an irritated sigh she got up from the table and made her way over to the Max kid. Once she was gone, Justin turned his attention back to me.
"Okay, flight lessons begin now"
Sorry this chapter wasn't as long as i'd like it. Maybe if you review I might just get inspired :P
