You changed me

I don't want to go through with this

*Jay's POV*

    Later that night Mal made another cookie thing to break the spell on Ben and Xavier. She was gonna give it to Ben before his coronation but I wanted to give it to Xavier as soon as I possibly could. She gave me a small bag with it in and I left the kitchen. I made my way to the place where I thought Xavier would most likely be. The garden. Sure enough when I got there he was, sitting at the edge of the pond. He was singing softly and looking up at the sky.

    "Oh, I come from a land,
from a faraway place,
Where the caravan camels roam,
Where it's flat and immense,
And the heat is intense,
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home,
When the wind's from the east and the sun's from the west,
And the sand in the glass is right,
Come on down stop on by,
Hop a carpet and fly,
To another Arabian night,
Arabian nights, like Arabian days,
More often than not,
Are hotter than hot,
In a lot of good ways,
Arabian nights, 'neath Arabian moons,
A fool off his guard,
Could fall and fall hard,
Out there on the dunes" He sang softly. (Song above)

    His voice sounded so beautiful.

    "Xavier?" I asked

    He jumped and turned around.

    "J-Jay! How long have you been there?" He asked

    "Only a few minutes. Your voice is beautiful." I told him

    "No it's not." He mumbled

    "Yeah it is. The song's Arabian Nights right?" I asked

    He nodded shyly

    "You should sing more." I told him

    "Do you really think I'm good?" He asked

    "Of course." I told him, brushing his bangs off to the side.

    "Ambrose hated it." he mumbled

    "Ambrose is stupid to think that about you." I told him

    There was silence of a minute

    "Hey I have something for you." I told him, breaking the silence, and handing him the cookie thing

    He looked from the cookie to me and slowly took it.

    "Go on. You can eat it. It's not poisoned." I told him jokingly

    He smiled slightly and took a bite out of it.

    "So... Do you feel any different?" I asked him

    "Not really. We should probably wait for the spell to wear off." Xavier told me

    It took me a minute to realize what he had said.

    "How did you-?" He cut me off

    "Know? I've known since you splashed water in my face. You see the water in this pond is enchanted like the lake." He told me

    "So you've been faking it since then?" I asked him

    "No. You've been so kind and loyal to me. You haven't hurt me and haven't tried to use me. Hell, you haven't even used any of the wishes from the lamp. Why?" He asked me

    "I don't know. I guess I have nothing to wish for." I told him

    "You could have wished for anything. Power. Your parents off the Isle. The barrier coming down." He told me

    "You can do that?" I asked shocked

    "Well yeah." He responded

    "What would you wish for if you could?" I asked him

    "Freedom. It's what every Genie wants. To not have to serve someone as soon as the lamp was rubbed. To not have to obey everything. I would wish to finally be free and get these stupid cuffs off of me." Xavier told me

    "What if I set you free?" I asked him

    He looked at me with a slightly shocked expression.

    "you'd really do that?" He asked me

    "Of course I would. I l..." I trailed off

    "You what?" He asked

    "I... I love you." I told him

    Xavier smiled slightly at the ground.

    "You haven't said that to many people huh?" He asked me

    "No one actually. Or I haven't actually meant it before I met you." I told him

    "It's really late. I got to get back to my dorm. I'll see you tomorrow at the coronation." He told me getting up

    I don't want to go through with this plan anymore.
