The Hybrids

Chapter 5

P.O.V Nicole

My heart beats like a constant drum in the distance, I swear it was about to come right out of my chest. Our lips were parting, then the doorbell rings. Is this gonna happen every time? Wait- why was I about to kiss my best friend? I hadn't seen him in person for about 9 years, and the first thing I tried to do was kiss him? Something has happened in those 9 years. Plus he might not like me that way, he probably just got caught up in the moment like I did. I don't want my life to turn into a one sided love like those cliché movies where they are depressed for the rest of their life. Plus, I can't take being that close to him again, for the tension might break my walls down. Then I won't be able to control myself.

I got up and ran down the stairs, Charlie was already in front of me. When we got to the door Charlie let me open it. I unlocked it and my dark brown eyes were immediately gazing in to amber eyes. I knew who it was right away.

"Spencer!" I cried out as I he hugged me. Spencer was Charlie's twin brother, and they looked almost exactly the same, but completely opposite at the same time if that makes sense. While Charlie had blue eyes like the bluest oceans, and midnight black hair, Spencer had a light color of dirty blonde hair like the sands in Egypt, and amber eyes like the sweetest honey. Also while Charlie went with his mom to Spain, Spencer stayed with his dad in France-then moved back last year. Spencer was one of the most popular people at our school, and was a jock. He played basketball, baseball, and football- and for everyone of those his number was 4. Which he picked because it was my favorite number.

"You ready to go to the fair? We should eat lots of food, then go on a bunch of rides afterwards." He said as I rolled my eyes. Spencer was the more sarcastic one, where Charlie was also funny, but he was more serious as well. Charlie and Spencer's parents haven't talked to each other since they got divorced. Which is also true about the twins, they also haven't talked to each other since their parents got divorced. Unless you count the one time they face timed each other. I smiled to myself while thinking about when we were little and we'd always get into trouble. We were all such good friends, that's why I invited Spencer to come along-to recreate those memories as best friends.

This was a great idea!

P.O.V Charlie

This was a horrible idea! I hadn't talked to Spencer in about a year and that was the first time we had talked to each other in 5 years. It was also on face time, and it only lasted 5 minutes, but in that time we got into a steaming argument. I was still mad, even after a year. Then something made me even madder-

"You ready to go to the fair?" Spencer asked Nicole. NO, NO, NO! HE'S COMING WITH US! I thought, at least I thought I did.

"Yes, I definitely am going with you." Spencer said as if talking to a child. I looked at Nicole and she was glaring at me with a look that said behave, or die! I felt myself blush and look away embarrassed. Then I smile to myself and realize that the only thing there was to do was make Nicole distrust Charlie. I mentally steeple my fingers together and do a evil scientist laugh, and this time I make sure it was actually mentally....

P.O.V Spencer

I banged on the door, then my amber eyes meet dark brown ones. I got lost in her eyes, she's so beautiful.

"Spencer!" She screams excitedly, and hugs my tense body. Immediately I stop daydreaming about what our children will look like and hug her back. As I rest my chin on her head I catch a strong whiff of her shampoo-mint, rosemary, and roses. I look in front of me, and have to make sure I'm not seeing things. My brother, Charlie stands right in front of me. As I look closely at his dark blue eyes I see a strange emotion-desire. Then I look down and smile, he desires what I desire-Nicole. For as long as I remember Charlie and I have had the biggest crush on Nicole. I have wanted to be more than friends with Nicole for a long time, but since I just moved back from France a year ago I knew that that wasn't possible, at least not yet. I kiss the top of Nicole's head and see Charlie's eyes turn green with envy--no just kidding they turned light blue color like the sky.

"You ready to go to the fair? We should eat lots of food, then go on a bunch of rides afterwards." I say to break the awkward silence, and to lighten up the mood. Then out of nowhere, in the loudest voice possible I hear-

"NO, NO, NO! HE'S COMING WITH US? Charlie's voice squeaks at the end. I jump up, and here a familiar woman's voice.

"What's all the racket in here?" As a lady walks in I know who it is right away from her sandy blonde hair that looks like mine, and her dark blue eyes that are the same color as Charlie's. I feel my legs go weak, and feel myself run towards her.

"Mom!" I yelled as loud as my voice willed itself to go without squeaking. I wrapped my arms around her. I remember being only half her size, but now I am much taller than her. At first she's confused, and doesn't recognize me but then she hugs me back.

"Spencer, I never thought I would see you again." She says as a tears start to fall from eyes and land onto my shirt. For a while we just stood there embracing each other, as my tears welled up I let them go, and they too fell onto my shirt.

P.O.V Spencer

30 minutes later

After 30 minutes of talking and sitting around, we were all finally ready to leave. I was out on the porch when Nicole came out with another girl trailing behind her. After looking closely at her features glasses, and short brunette hair I could tell that she was Kimberly, Nicole's best friend. She was pretty, but she definitely wasn't Nicole, at least in my opinion. I looked away and put on my sunglasses. When I looked back I realized Kimberly was staring at me-more like checking me out. I pulled my glasses down to the bridge of my nose, and snapped while pointing at her like in the movies. She blushed like a tomato and looked away. I rolled my eyes--weirdo.

A/N~ Thanks to the people who read this, I was going to publish this earlier but the chapter didn't save. So, I ended up staying up all night to finish it. Sorry if there are a lot of typos, but when I am tired it's like I am drunk and it's hard to focus. Comment if you like it or hate it, I am always open to constructive criticism. Or even comment who you're favorite character is, or if you like Charlie or Spencer better. Thanks fellow Wattpad addicts ;)

P.S~ The house above is Nicole's.
