Protector (The Wanted FanFiction)

Chapter 9

Jay

I slowly walked up the stairs and to Lizzie's door. I was so freaked out right now. I don't know how Lizzie will react to what I'm about to tell her. 

Really I just don't want to scare Em when I tell her sooner or later. I mean... She could just end up thinking of me like a brother forever, and then never love me in any other way. I just don't want something like that to happen. I mean I love Emily like a sister, and want to look after her forever, no matter what, but if only she would love my back in the future, that was in the same way as I loved her. That would be a dream to me.

I sigh to myself, at the thought of never being loved. I knock on Lizzie's door, and wait for it to open.

"Hello Jay. What can I do for you?" Lizzie smiled opening the door.

"I need to talk to you about something Lizzie." I tell her.

"Well come in, and we'll talk." She moves out of the way and opens the door more. I stand there looking around the empty room. It was like yesterday that we moved here, and now we're leaving for our safety.

"Lizzie I've realized something lately. I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, and well I've asked Nathan what he thought, and he said to come to you." I explain, looking down at my shaking hands, and kicking feet.

"Jay what's the matter?" Lizzie asks.

"Well Lizzie... I-I think t-that E-Emily might be m-my m-mate." I say. I waited for Lizzie to start yelling at me or something, though there was nothing that came from her. I looked up at Lizzie. She had a smile on her face.

"JayBird... You really think that?" I nod as Lizzie. 

"I don't think it Lizzie. I know it. I feel it in my heart. I've been spending a lot more time with Em lately, and when Nathan had carried her into the house after the fight it broke my heart. I had to play it off like I just felt bad as like a normal brotherly way, but it was more than that. I wanted to hold her in my arms forever after I saw her. I just got the feeling and little voice in the back of my head, saying that Emily was my mate. Look Lizzie, I understand if you hate me, but don't rip my heart apart too much alright?" I tell Lizzie. She watches me, the whole time, her mouth gaped open slightly.

"You know Jay... I didn't think that you could ever say something like that. It proves to me that you know what your doing now. So I'll let you do whatever, but not until Emily is at least 18 for anything to o crazy. Alright? I mean you can tell her whenever you want, but just make sure she understands alright? And no breaking her heart, because I know Nathan and Maya will break you in half." Lizzie laughs at the end.

"Thank you so much Lizzie." I pull her into a hug. "I promise to take care of Emily, and you know I will. Thank you so much." I say.

"I know you'll take care of her Jay." Lizzie smiles. "When do you plan on telling her?"

"I haven't thought that far yet. I knew I had to clear everything with you first. Maybe in a year or two. Or not until she's 16. I think that sounds better. You never know." I sigh. I really didn't know when I was going to tell Em, and how I was going too.

"Just make sure she understands. That's all that matter's Bird." Lizzie says before pushing me out of her room. I sigh and slide down the wall on the other side of the hall.

"How am I going to explain any of this to a little girl?" I ask myself quietly. I hide my face in my knees and let the silent tears run down my face.

"JayBird?" I look up, and Emily was stood in front of my. She had a sad worried look on her face.

"Hey Em. You alright? You look sad." I say to her.
