In Love With A Charmed One (Rewritten)

Chapter 12

"He has seemed so excited all day you know. Terri said he wouldn't shut up about you all through lunch until you arrived and then he seemed to act like a little puppy dog" Mel giggled as we made our way home. I snorted at her and shook my head.

"Since when were you one for gossip?" I asked her and Mel frowned before shaking her head at me.

"It's not gossip, Lila. I would never gossip about you, I'm just telling you what Terri said in the hopes that you will correct me if I'm wrong" she said and I laughed slightly but nodded at her.

"Okay, I see what you mean. And yes, he did seem a lot more excited than usual today. I swear when I told him that I was going to go out with him, I thought he was going to faint or do a happy dance. Not that Josh is the kind to faint or do a happy dance" I shrugged and Mel giggled before doing a happy dance in the middle of the street.

"Wyatt and Chris seem to have been a little quieter than usual though?" I asked and sighed and Mel turned to look over her shoulder at where the two boys were walking behind us. They had been walking behind us the entire time that we met up on the field to leave school and come home and had continued to do so after saying goodbye to everyone at the crossroads. She turned her attention back to me and just shrugged though her facial expression seemed to have saddened slightly and her body language seemed tense.

"I think they're just being protective and worrying about you having a boyfriend is all." I sensed that there was something that Mel wasn't telling me, but because I knew it wasn't fair of me to spy on those feelings, I ignored it and instead focused back on walking home.

School had been uneventful today. There had been no weird tingling sensations on the back of my neck and no weird visions about demons or Chris dying, though I had dreamt of Chris and Wyatt's death a lot over the last two nights, but I'd chalked it up to me being overprotective. Especially because it was bothering me about what Spirit had said about my demon half stopping me from fully controlling my witch abilities. Not only was I having to fight my demon half every day to ensure it stayed locked in my little box but I was now having to deal with the fact that despite it being locked in a little box, it was still influencing my witch side. I knew that Spirit was right, I would have to learn to accept my demonic half at some point in my life, but I knew that that wouldn't be anytime soon because I didn't want to lose my family. I'd come so far to be able to have the relationship with them that I did have and I wasn't planning on giving that up anytime soon. The only eventful thing was the fact that Josh and I had become a couple, but when I'd told him yes this morning, a weird and uncomfortable sensation had settled in my stomach, making me feel a little ill.

We arrived at the Manor and Mel and I walked in first, leaving one of the boys to close the door behind us. The minute we walked in I could feel how quiet and empty the house was, suggesting that both Piper and Leo were still at work.

"Looks like you're in charge again, Wyatt" I stated as I hung my jacket up on the pegs and heard him hum in agreement but that was all he said. I turned to frown at him in worry, usually when this happened he started ordering the three of us around. When I looked at him he just sent me a small smile and with that smile I felt a hint of sadness coming from him.

I pressed my lips together to stop me from saying anything and instead walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his torso. I felt Wyatt freeze for a moment but he soon put his arms around me as well and with that the sadness increased.

Is everything okay? I asked him telepathically, feeling the familiar headache appearing, something that always happened when I talked to Wyatt telepathically. I never had that problem with Chris. I heard and felt him sigh deeply as he placed his cheek on the top of my head.
