Later that night when I took my shower all I could think is I hope Alex shows up tonight. When I crossed the hall to my room I felt as if he wasn’t going to be there.  Still in my towel I open my door and there staring out my window is Alex. “Hey I won’t turn around I just ended up here so I figured you wanted me to be here” Alex stated. That stung how empty he sounded. I crossed my room to grab my pj’s and went into my closet to change instead of asking him to.
“I’m sorry for yesterday Alex, I shouldn’t have yelled at you” I felt even worse knowing how badly I had hurt him.
“Gabby what did you call me for?”
“Why are you being so cold?  I didn’t mean to hurt you I’m sorry, and I wanted to know what happened between you and Jake?”
He turned toward me, “Gabby do you trust Jake I mean if it came down to me or him who would you say you trust more even if say he went to turn you against me and I knew something bad about him?”
“Well I don’t know either of you very well but I guess I would have to say that even thought I’m going out with him I trust you and if you know something about him you should tell me even if you think I won’t listen…”
“Listen I told you that evil is after you and that’s why they sent you away right? Well it turns out that evil knows that you are here and want you to become one of them, I hate to say this but Jake is part of that and he said to leave you alone or he would turn you against me.”
“You’re lying how can he be so sweet yet you say he is evil?!”
“I knew I shouldn’t have told you…”
“No I’m happy you did. I know I said that I don’t believe you but I did say that I trust you, plus I would know if you were lying.”
“How would you know if I was lying?”
“Well ever since I was 5 when someone lies to me my ear twitches and that’s how I knew about the families that have adopted me n the past.”
“Gabby I want to protect you but I don’t and can’t let your secret be blown.”
“Alex, leave it to me he doesn’t know that I know about him I’ll act as if  I know nothing about the discussion while you train me behind his back.”
“You might get hurt I can’t let you take that risk.” He was so stubborn and at the same time knew I was right.   What I had said to him the night before hit hard. I felt even worse than I already felt for how I had yelled at him.  His head was down in thought so he didn’t see me come up and hug him.  I was crying and couldn’t stop. After a while I felt his arms wrap around me. “Shh, don’t cry I won’t let anything hurt you I promised you that” he whispered in my ear.
“I’m not crying because I’m afraid, I’m crying because of how I hurt you yesterday and I frickin made out with that jerk!” I practically screamed.
“What?” he pushed me back so he could see me, “Gabby, you didn’t know about Jake and don’t worry about me! All that matters to me is that you’re safe!  If anything ever happened to you I would be lost, I care about you. I always have.” When he spoke those words something very strong came over me. When I realized what was happening I was in Alex’s arms kissing him.  It felt different from kissing Jake, it felt powerful.  His arms kept pulling me closer until it felt as if we were one. It wasn’t close enough for me though because I pushed Alex up against the wall of my bedroom.  I couldn’t stop myself but I knew I need to be stopped.  Soon after we were out of breath it was just him holding me. “Gabby, I’m sorry for ever hurting you. How am I suppose to let you near that guy?”
“Alex you have to trust me, I have a plan.  He doesn’t want you to approach me and I’m sure that if I approach you he has something he wants you to say.  So when he’s watching I’ll approach you, you say your line, and then walk away.  I’ll go tell him what you said.  If he gives something away I’ll bring it up and let the pieces fall.”  I felt so happy.  I had come up with this plan all by myself.
“Do you really think that will work? I mean don’t get me wrong it’s a great plan I just feel like he isn’t going to fall for it.”
“Alex,” I hugged him closer, “you’re just going to have to have faith in me.” I had the same feeling but I knew that I shouldn’t voice it.
When I woke the next morning everything from the night before came back in a rush.  I couldn’t help but feel happy when I went down stairs to breakfast that morning.  I greeted Stacy and Steven with a kiss on the cheek as I grabbed my toast and ran out the door.  I saw Jake waiting for me at the end of the drive way to walk to the end of the street. “Hi Jake how are you?” I smiled.
“I’m great,” he kissed my cheek, “how did you sleep last night?”
“I slept better no worries.”
“Gabby, do you want tot know why I don’t want you around Alex? I know how that bugged you yesterday.”
“Jake I do want to know but if it has to do with the fact that he might like me and you don’t want to lose to him then that means your afraid of the competition and if your afraid of him winning me then maybe it wasn’t right I don’t want someone who is going to not let me be friends with guys because there afraid that the guy is competition.”
“Wow you kind of took what I was going to say but it’s not only that I have a bad vibe from him.”  
“Well I want to be friends with him if he doesn’t want to be friends with me then fine I’ll leave him alone but the more friends the better off I am.”
  “Gabby I don’t trust him that’s why I mean how am I suppose to let you get near a guy who I don’t trust?”
“Well what if he was my friend and didn’t trust you?  I’m going out with you so he couldn’t stop me.  I’m independent I don’t need you or him to survive.”  I knew once I spoke those words that I was lying.  I did need Alex after our kiss last night I knew that he was my soul mate.  When the bus finally pulled around I was happy to see Rose.  I needed some normalcy.   I also saw some more students sitting in the back.  There was a boy with reddish hair very slick though, his eyes were brown and intense.  There was also a girl with dark brown wavy hair and blue eyes.  I could tell they weren’t new because I recognized them the closer I got.  The girl’s name is Penny and her brother Jason.  I sat in my normal seat next to Jake across from Rose.  “Hi Penny hi Jason I didn’t know that you guys were on this bus.”
“We don’t usually ride the bus we usually get a ride but our mom is working now so we have too” Jason spoke.  Wow he didn’t sound happy about the fact that he had to ride the bus.  I could tell Rose was thrilled they were on.  Rose had told me she had a huge crush on Jason, I couldn’t see why he seemed cold hearted.  The rest of the ride was quiet until Jessica got on.  
“Well good morning Alex and how are you today?” she batted her eyes.  I wanted to kill her for flirting with him.  I knew I couldn’t show any signs of the hatred I felt for her though.  I had a part to play and I couldn’t blow my cover I had to be Jake’s girlfriend for a little longer.  When we got to school I left Jake at his locker and went to see Alex.  When I turned the corner I saw Jessica talking with Alex again.  I needed to talk to him alone so I said the only thing I could.
“Alex close your locker and head down the hall, and Jessica go keep Jake occupied” I felt the power run from me to them.  In a matter of minutes Alex was by my side. I could tell he was confused but we didn’t have time for that. “Alex I hate this, I don’t mind getting rid of Jake it’s the Jessica part I hate her flirting with you.” I felt selfish for saying it.
“Gabby how do you think I feel seeing you with Jake?” he moaned, “Plus I don’t like that witch, and she’s only doing it to get Jake…what I can’t understand is how come Jake has been her so long and this nice guy but he’s apart of our world…”
“Could evil have possessed him and he actually be the same guy from the first day I was here?” I had to ask.
“Yes, that could explain a lot and I don’t think he showed up till after I did which means that someone was watching who was becoming close with you and that’s how they gained your trust through the actual guy your dating who is trapped inside his own mind.”
“Wait if that’s all true then that means I have to choose between you and Jake…” It felt sad saying that right in front of him but it didn’t make them any less true.  When all of this was over who would I choose Jake whom I’ve liked since the first day I saw his smile or Alex who knew me more than I knew myself?  I didn’t know how to answer that.  
“Gabby don’t worry about that now as you said you’ll let the pieces fall.”  I could hear the hurt in his voice.  I didn’t want to think about it.  
“You’re right I need you to go up to Jake and get Jessica pull her aside and talk to her while I walk up to Jake after that I’ll act as if I just saw you then go up to you and you say your line right in front of Jessica it will make her happy to have her think you hate me.”  Each word I spoke hurt more than it should have.
    I walked up to Jake and told him how I didn’t need to go to my locker like I thought I had.  When I turned around I saw Alex talking with Jessica. “Oh there’s Alex I need to ask him something do you want to come with me Jake or will you wait here for me?”
“I’ll go with you since you refuse to leave him alone like I’ve asked you to.”
“Jake you are not going to tell me how to live my life.  If you think your going to then it’s over right here and you can go back to Jessica.” I was so pissed and I couldn’t hide it. In the end it got Jake to drop the topic so we both walked up to Alex hand in hand.  “Hey Alex I needed to talk to you do you think you could come over to my house this afternoon its about my parents you said you remembered something about them when we were growing up.”
“Sorry Gabby but we can’t be friends any more you’ve changed too much plus I just said that to hurt you I knew your parents were important to you.”  He said it in such a straight face it felt real and I started to tear up.  I had to look away and I knew that it was time to walk away.  I could feel the smug look on Jessica’s face when she realized what had just happened.  I could feel Alex’s stare on my back as well.  Even though I knew evil was in Jake I was happy to have him with me.  When I finally stopped walking I turn right into Jake’s arms and tried my best not to cry.  I knew Alex hadn’t meant what he said but it still hurt how convincing he was.  
“Baby it’s ok don’t worry about what he said it probably wasn’t even true I told you he was going to hurt you I wanted to protect you from that jerk.”
“What about you Jake?  How do I know you won’t hurt me?  How am I suppose to just trust you?” I wanted him to give something away.  I needed to be able to call him on it.
“You know my secret don’t you?  Alex was at your house last night I can read it on your face Gabby…”  How did he know?  I was shocked and wasn’t ready at all for what was coming next.  Jake grabbed me and started walking through the school to go out the back.  We passed Alex on the way to the back.  I could still feel the sting of his words and the tears coming again.  I just looked at him and realized I needed his help.  Jake didn’t like the look I shared with Alex and made his grip on me tighter.  My face twisted in pain and Alex knew what was happening and went to go stop Jake. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you Alex.”
“What do you think you are doing Jake?  You can’t just leave we are at school plus if you leave with her and Stacy and Steve get a call what will they think?” Alex stressed.  I could hear the worry in every word he spoke.
“But you see no one will know who she is unless my spell is broken which won’t happen because I’m in an innocents’ body which you wouldn’t hurt and you have no way of defeating me.”  He started to pull harder on me.
“I will stop you Jake you can’t take her from her birth right.”
“Alex,” he paused to turn and look at him, “if you follow or try anything which I will find out when you do she’s dead.  I would kill her right now but that would be a waste I’d rather hear her screams, make her do my every deed, then maybe kill her I mean she is part siren and that would be a waste of a beautiful girl.”
“I won’t let you get away with this you don’t know if I know anything I’m suppose to be powerful how do you know I can’t do anything myself without his help?” I had to stall.
“Ha! If you did you would have found your way out already and if you do try anything I know how to hurt you.  I don’t need this body I have my original body back at the lap I can kill this one if you try anything your boyfriend who loves you so very much yet doesn’t know your secret.”
“Leave Jake alone!  I want you out of his body and I want him to forget about me.  You better fix what you’ve done you bastard.” I wanted to cry I felt something for Jake but I knew he needed to forget about me when he woke up.
“Gabby no, you can’t let him win.”
“Ah, but she doesn’t want to hurt Jake, but if I give his body up, I have nothing to threaten you with, then what would I do?”
“You don’t need Jake to hurt me and you know it.  Either that or you don’t trust your own powers.  If you really wanted to kill Jake you would have done it already so why are we still standing here.” I had a plan I just hope Alex would stay out of it I didn’t need him getting hurt.  At that moment I knew that I liked Jake but my feeling for Alex were much stronger.  
“Gabriella you can’t, you can’t let him win.”
“Jake or whoever you are can you give me a minute with him or better yet you’re in all my classes so why don’t we do this after school?  You can keep an eye on me and no one else needs to be involved I won’t run I’m not afraid of you.” I needed time I just hoped no one else saw through my plan.
“Well Jake is well known and just incase my spell back fires because of this house dog I’ll reverse the spell but after school you are going to get on the bus and not say a single word.  I’ll have my eyes on you and don’t try anything funny or I will kill Jake.”
“I told you I wouldn’t and I meant it I don’t lie when others lives are involved.”  It was true and I needed to be alone with Alex.  When Jake turned the corner I grabbed Alex’s hand and walked to first period with him knowing if we got there in time we could get a seat in the back.  I would have to write to him in class and keep focus on the teacher so she didn’t see us.
I didn’t know how to explain my plan to Alex just ask him to trust me and not get in my way I didn’t need him hurt.  I knew that would make him mad but I was frustrated so I didn’t care.  What shocked me was the response he scribbled to my words.  They said, Gabby I will help you I don’t know what your plan is but I can’t just stand and watch you sacrifice yourself I’m sorry for hurting you back there but you won’t stop me from helping.  I wanted to carry those words with me but I knew they needed to be destroyed.  My plan was still in thinking progress as the day moved on.  Time seemed to fly as my brain worked through the errors in my plan to perfect it.
When I got on the bus that afternoon I was scared.  I sat on the inside and avoided eye contact.  Jake told everyone I wasn’t feeling well and he was going to take care of me and that they didn’t need to worry.  My plan was simple use what magic I had learned in my short weeks here.  Find Jake’s weakness which wouldn’t be easy and use it against him.  I had a feeling that my plan would fail and I would end up dead or damsel in distress begging for help and pulling in Alex and him getting hurt or worse ending up dead.  I wasn’t ok with this but finally the time came.  I walked off the bus and waited till I heard it turn the corner and felt fingers grip my arm hard.
“Well you didn’t run I’m surprised and don’t even think of I need to leave Stacy and Steve a note telling them I’m going to be out late because your not getting any more time” Jake laughed.
“I don’t need anymore time but wouldn’t it be easier to travel through my room?” I questioned showing I knew more than he thought I did.
“Yeah I guess it would.”
“Gabby I need to talk to you really fast before you go, with him…”Alex made it sound more like a plea instead of a request.  I didn’t care what Jake was going to say I ripped my arm out of his grasp and ran into Alex’s arms.  When I did I placed a tracking device in his pocket and whispered it to him so he knew how to track me for if I needed help.  I told him I loved him and surprising both him and Jake I full out kissed him while breathing in his sent.  Jake came over and ripped me out of Alex’s arms threatening me as we walked into my house.  I let the tears run knowing I wasn’t strong enough to hide them.
“From now on you are to forget him you are mine” he smiled a wicked smile, “you didn’t think I would let such a beautiful girl go to waste did you?”  My head was screaming no, he didn’t mean that he was…I couldn’t even think the words.  Traveling to my world was new and not under good circumstances.
uhm ok as i was writing this i knew that the characters needed to be older so pretend they are 16 and 17 which in my case would be juniors in highschool
