Plugged into Michelle Caldwell Chap 19 part 1&2

So Liam split into two (with his ability) and one Liam went with Harley outside the cafeteria, while the other stayed inside with Celeste.

Nervous, Celeste asked Liam where he would go if he could go anywhere and Liam answered England. So without thinking Celeste teleported them to England. And as a condition of his power to stay strong if he's far away from his other self, he took Celeste's power and now they are stuck in England.

And Michelle was going to confront Trixie when she bumps into someone unexpected....James.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harley's POV

He asks me what I want to talk about. I kind of stutter the words but I eventually get them out. He looks at me stunned. Not really the look I wanted.

"YOU are asking ME to the dance?!?!"

That was what I asked him just with a different tone. It was kind of like this:

"Uhh...Liam, I know we hardly know each other but.....I heard there was this dance at the end of the week to... uhh.....celebrate the official starting of school...and...and I was wondering if you wanted to go with......me......." I said it really softly that he made me repeat myself.

"We can go as friends if you would like..." I say once he doesn't really respond. It's just you've been flirting with me the whole day. Come to think of it you've been flirting with Celeste too. God, am I stupid to think you liked me?" I smack myself in the head.

"No not at all. I just don't know you all that well.... But I do like you. "He says smiling.

"Oh...so....are you going to take me or Celeste to the dance?" I say stepping closer because I think I know the answer.

He looks of in the distance, as if he's thinking. It takes him longer than it should if he's trying to joke.

"Liam.... Who are you going to take?" I ask shaking him a little bit.

"Celeste!" He says popping back into reality.

"What?" I don't think I heard him right "You're taking Celeste?!"

"What? What are you/ No! Celeste is with the other me and they're in trouble." He says hurriedly

"Oh..... well we can go back inside if you like."

"No they're not in the cafeteria." He says worried as hell.

"Okay....Where are they?" I ask calmly because he starts to pace.

"They're in England."

"ENGLAND?! How the hell did they get there?" I ask bewildered.

"Celeste can teleport..." Suddenly he stops pacing. "HEY! You can fly right?"

"Yeah.... Why?"

"Let's go to England!" He says already grabbing my hand a dragging me to where ever he thinks England is.

I snatch my hand back.

"Uh...Wait. You think I'm gonna fly to England? That's ridiculous and I'll tell you the reasons why.
1: We're not allowed to leave campus.
2: even though I can fly. It still takes a while to get there.
And 3: I don't even know if I can carry you. So there! Argue that." I say crossing my arms

"Okay 1: We aren't technically allowed to leave campus but Celeste did so it can't be that bad.
2: we still have enough time to get there before something bad happens if we leave now.
And 3: I may not look like it but every time I duplicate myself I lose a lot of weight. You could probably carry me. Please do this for me. You would be a life saver. Please!"

He gets on his knees and clasps his hands together. He makes this pouting face that you just want to kiss.

"Ugh fine. But we're stopping if I get tired."

"Deal!" He stands up quickly with a huge smile on his face. Okay....how does this work?"

"Well to be honest. I've never flown with anyone else before." His face drops "But...." I say holding up a finger. "I have flown with a very large suitcase. And if you say you lost a lot of weight it probably won't be that hard."

"It's the 'probably' I'm worried about."

"Hey this is your idea. Do you still want to do this?"

"Yeah I do. I trust you." Him saying that makes my heart melt.

"Okay..." I put my hand through my hair. "Um you're going to have to hang on tight."

"Okay." He says stepping closer and wrapping his hands around my waist. I feel instantly safe.

"You might have to hold tighter." I say bravely.

His grasp on me tightens. I kind of want to melt. I bend my legs ready for takeoff.

"You know if we were in another situation in this same position. I could easily kiss you." He breaths into my ear, which sends shivers down my spine.

I tell myself he's not going to kiss me now. I have to concentrate. I swallow back that lump that has formed in my throat and I push off......and realize something.

He totally didn't answer my question....that bastard.

Michelle's POV

I walk closer. I can see Jake eying my every move. I can't tell if he's disapproving or extremely worried or both.

My steps become smaller as my confidence does the same. I look back for some encouragement, but I see that Harley is gone and Celeste and Liam are already on more important topics.

The only one looking at me is Aiden. It's hard to look away from those eyes but I do anyway.

Unfortunately I run in to someone.

And even more unfortunate is the person I run into is someone I really don't want to see.

He grabs my arms to steady me. And I don't know what to say..... All I can manage is "James?"

Celeste's POV

"Shit Shit Shit...Fuck Fuck Fuck." I say as we are getting food at a café.

"Nice language." Liam laughs.

"How can you be laughing at a time like this?! What are we supposed to do if I can't teleport us back?" I whisper the last part

"We wait."Liam answers, looking at the menu as if there is nothing to worry about.

"Wait for what? For people to find out that there are people who have powers? and then they send a plane for us. Or we wait for Rachel to figure out we're gone, then she tells her dad then we get kicked out of the school. Cause either one is not fun." I whisper looking around.

Liam looks at me like I'm an idiot. "No, we wait for the other me and Harley to fly over here. Now what are you having? My treat. I'm thinking the chicken parm sandwich." He says looking at the menu.

"God all boys think about is food, sports and sex!" I shout putting my hands in the air. Then realize people are looking at me probably thinking stupid American.

"So true..." Liam nods as he signals the waitress. " Hello, I'm gonna have the chicken Parmesan sandwich and she'll have....what? The salad?"

I look at him and smile coldly. "No actually can I have the steak with a large coke? Oh and some fries?"

"How would you like the steak cooked?" The waitress asks us. I look at Liam whose looking at the price of the steak.

I see him gulp.

"Medium well." I say yanking the menu from his hands and handing to the waitress.

"Steak, really?" Liam says making his eyes into slits.

"You said it was your treat." I shrug my shoulders innocently. "So when are they supposed to get here?"

"Well Harley said it takes longer if she's bringing someone. So I have no idea."

"So what are we supposed to do until then?" I ask leaning my head on my hand bored already.

"We can go sightseeing. I did always want to go to England."

"Okay where first?" I ask.

"Big Ben?" Liam shrugs.

"So unoriginal." I sigh. "I got the perfect place come on." I shout jumping up and grabbing his hand.

"But....what....about......food?" Liam whines as we move further and further looking at are table forlornly.

"Don't worry you can buy me steak another time." I smile.

"Yeah cause that's exactly what I was thinking." He sighs defeated as he follows me on our next adventure.

Chapter 19 PT. 2

Celeste's POV
"So where are you taking me?" Liam whines after 20 minutes of walking.

"It's just a little bit up this way." I stop. "You know we could have gotten a cab if you had any money. How were you even planning on paying for the meal? You said it was your treat."

"I was hoping after we ate you could just teleport us out of there." Liam says shrugging, as we keep walking up hill.

I laugh shaking my head.

"You do realize if I could teleport us out of the restaurant, I could have just teleported us home." I say realizing that he might be slightly retarded.

"Oh right...." He says out of breath. "God! How much longer?"

"Wow, you're out of shape. We're here alright?" I say gesturing to the beautiful sight.

His breath catches in his throat because it is so pretty here. I accidentally landed here once when I teleported and have visited here every time I come. It's kind of secluded but you have a beautiful sight of the town.

"Wow that was totally worth it." Liam says still taking in the view.

I can't help but admire his features. He is so handsome. But I have to remind myself that he is the replica. I'm not sure if that means he is of less worth than the other Liam, but it still feels like he would leave his real self with his real heart and I have a feeling it's beating for someone else.

His eyes kind of drift off, not really staring at anything.

"Liam? You alright?" I step towards him and wave my hand in front of his face so he can focus on me.

"Yeah I'm fine." He says stepping back to reality. "The other me and Celeste are really close." I can feel his breath sway across my cheek. He looks into my eyes with a question. And I realize that I'm still really close to him. He clears his throat and we step away from each other. "We better head back to the city." He says turning around. "I wouldn't want anyone else knowing about your secret spot."

I smile as we head down the hill which is much easier than going up.

Harley's POV

I never would have guessed that Liam would be so terrified of heights, but for the whole trip he was clinging to me and almost crying. Not the most romantic flight of my life but it was defiantly the most comical.

I land at a truck stop for some food. As soon as we reach the place, Liam falls on his knees and kisses the ground. I can't help but laugh.
He stands up and brushes himself off. "So um let's not mention this to anyone. Deal?" He says not actually looking me straight in the eye.

"Whatever you say." I say while I stifle a giggle.

"So. " Liam begins as we head inside and wait in line. "How much longer do you think we have?"

"Like ten minutes or so." I turn to the lady at the fast food place. "Can I have a number 1 meal please?"

We wait in line for our food in silence and then walk to a table.

I try to start up a topic. "So...How did you discover your power? I bet it must have been really weird."

He looks away and stuffs his mouth with food. He swallows hard. "It's kind of a touchy subject." He says with apologetic eyes.

"Oh! We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."

"Thanks I appreciate it." There's another long silence and all you can hear is us chewing, Liam more than me.

"Whose your mentor again?" He says it like I already told him.

"Oh just some chick." I say waving my hand into the air. :She only saw me a couple times in the summer and even when she did come she just hung out with my sister. And then once I got here she just
completely forgot about me."

"Wow, Aiden was great to me. We hung out a lot last summer."

"Lucky you." I say sarcastically, while taking another bite.

"Well I guess we better get going. Don't want to keep Celeste waiting." He says getting up and throwing out his stuff.

"Yeah wouldn't want to do that." I mumble after him following him outside.

He grabs a hold on me, way too tight. I hear him take a huge intake of air. I guess that's my cue to lift off. I bend my knees and we shoot up. Almost silently, minus Liam's girlish screams.

Michelle's POV

"James, what the hell are you doing here?" I say in a quieted voice as if he sneaked in to a school full of people with powers that would surely spot someone. He looks at me confused so I say it louder and slower.

I look over at Jake and wonder why he isn't coming and confronting James right now.

"Michelle, I'm not deaf and retarded. I'm just so surprised to see you here."

"You're surprised?" Asking sarcastically because there is no way he could be more surprised than me.

"So what are you doing here?" He asks crossing his arms.

"Me? I go to this school! Now what are you doing here? Let's not forget that you kidnapped me!" I look over at Jake who is looking off to the side and not at us but I know he's listening to James's thoughts.
I wait for a response.

"I'm really sorry about. I really do have an excuse though!"

"Really let's hear it then." I say taking a defensive stance.

"When I was first getting my power I couldn't control myself. Every emotion I felt, if even for a second was multiplied ten times over and just took over my body. So when I saw you with Jake at our spot in the park. I just got so angry and I thought if I could just get you away from Jake you would see that I'm better for you. And that stupid idea was just blown out of proportion, and ended up....well you know. But I'm better now. I swear."

I look over at Jake to prove that he's telling the truth and he nods staring at me.

"Okay. But James you do realize I'm with Jake now."

"Yeah and since I'm confessing and such, I might as well say that I don't think I actually liked you as much as I showed it. I think I thought you were cute and then when I was getting my power that feeling got pumped up as well into making me think that I liked you like that. But I don't know once I got control of my power that feeling for you vanished."

I don't know why but that hurt. He saw my expression.

"Hey I thought you would be happy? You know since you're with Jake?"

"Yeah I don't know I guess realizing that you're not as well liked as you thought you were. It is kind of like a slap to the face. But......You know what? I'm over it. We can still be friends right?"

"Of course. OH and one more thing. You might not be happy with this...actually I know you won't be happy with this.... Celeste Harley and Liam are in England. I don't know who they are but I had a vision that they need your help."

"They're what?!?!?!"

"Oh shit! was I not supposed to tell you now? Sorry I'm still getting used to my power. I'm not sure if the visions I have will change if I tell them. Oh well. They're on their way back...."

"Fuck! It's only the first day and they already broke the rules." I hear Jake's voice from behind me.

"So you were listening in on our conversation were you?" James asks raising his eyebrow.

"Did you think I wouldn't anything else?"

"I don't have to think. I know." James says taping his head.

"Alright, you two, what now?" I ask nervously.

"Now we divert." James says in a determined voice as he walks away.

Jake and I look at each other, shrug our shoulders and follow. I hope to god he's right about this.

Celeste's POV

There's been a silence for a good ten minutes. It's not awkward per se just we're both deep in thought. And we're not trying hard to make conversation.

I look over at Liam and he looks quite pale as if he's going to throw up.
"All you alright?" I ask worried.

"I'm fine." Liam says in a pained voice.

"Okay it's just looks like you're about to pass out." I turn my attention to the path we're walking on. "You know when I first saw you I thought you were pale but this/" I look at him and can't find him. I look around and see that' he's passed out a few feet back. I race there and yell his name. He comes to, but looks kind of lost.

"Liam focus. Hey" I snap my fingers and he stares at me. "What happened? Are you alright?" I reach out to help and get him to focus on me, but he snatches his hand away and moves back slightly.

"Don't touch me!" He yells with strange eyes.

"Jesus. Okay!" I say holding up my hands. "Get yourself up." I say walking away.

"Uhhh wait Celeste!" But I was already gone.

Harley's POV

I feel Liam's grip start to loosen.

"Hey what are you doing!? You have to hold on tighter."

He doesn't answer me.

"Liam! Hey." I look over my shoulder and see that he's sleeping. That ass! I slap his face lightly. "Hey! We're almost there! Time to wake up."

He doesn't move. Suddenly he lets go and is falling right over the ocean.

"Oh fuck!" I yell as I go after him.

Celeste's POV
I hear him stumbling after me calling my name.

I sigh and turn around when I do I feel a huge wave of guilt flood over me. He is crawling and dirt is caked over his sweat. His face is squished in anguish

"Oh my god Liam!" I rush over to him but he holds up a hand in protest of me touching him.

"You know what? I get it. It's fine you don't have to like me but at least let me help you." I say even though saying it out loud hurts a little bit.
He looks at me confused.

"You think I don't like you?" He scoffs.

"Yeah. But it's cool we can be friends. I know you kind of like Harley, which works out perfectly because I kind of like someone else as well." Which is a lie but if it makes it easier for me to help him then so be it.

"Oh." He looks down. "Okay, Friends that works. But that's not the reason why I don't want you to touch me." He swallows and it looks like it hurts. "If you touch me, I'll take your energy, and something bad can happen to you."

"Yeah but if you pass out again, what am I supposed to do? I can take the risk, if it helps you." I say reaching out again.

"No, I won't allow you to do that, Celeste. It's too dangerous." He says moving back again even though it hurts him.

I move in again, but he doesn't move away.

"Celeste, don't." He breaths weaker.

"I trust you." I whisper close to his face. I bring up my hand not letting my gaze leave from his. I reach out and lightly touch his face. He closes his eyes and leans in. I can see the blood rush back to his face, and I can feel the blood leave from mine.

I don't care if we decided to be friends. I lean in and let my lips brush his. He gasps, and I lose my confidence.

I start to feel weaker and weaker as Liam places his hand on my cheek and brings his lips to mine once more but with more urgency. The kiss deepens and my energy weakens. I close my eyes to muster up some more strength to allow this kiss to continue.

It's like nothing I've ever felt before. We fit perfectly together. I never thought i could get such satisfaction from just one kiss.

I open my mouth not out of passion but because I lose the control over it.

I break the kiss as my head falls backwards because my neck can't carry the weight.

And all I can hear before I pass out is Liam cry out my name.
