Slowly Falling: Final

Disclaimer: I don't own the series, Every Witch Way.

A/N: I never knew that my first, official fanfic would be an Every Witch Way one. My feels were just so high during the 2nd season, I couldn't help myself. This is gonna be a Jemma one-shot. So just...enjoy! :)

"Jax! I told you to stop scaring me like that! You can't just pop into people's rooms whenever you want," Emma exclaimed as Jax popped into her room...again.

"But it's just so much fun, though! That look on your face. Priceless!" Jax replied as he sported his usual smirk.

"Whatever. Besides, why are you here, anyway?" Emma simply said, a bit irritated.

"I came here to help you with your transportation spell. I know that you're gonna need me for it sooner or later. Better that we get it out of the way," Jax said in a surprisingly honest tone.

"I told you already that I don't need your help! I'll figure it out on my own...eventually," Emma said a bit unconvincingly.

"You know that this has been a problem for a pretty long time. If you can't get over this spell, how can you expect to get stronger?" Jax smartly replied.

"I am getting stronger. I actually do work out now. Going to the gym twice a week isn't a lie anymore. See? Guns of steel!" Emma awkwardly answered as she held her arm up.

"Ok, stop stalling, Emma. I'm actually being serious about this for once," Jax said half smiling, while still being directly honest.

"Ok, fine. What do I have to do?" Emma sighed as she finally have in.

"You'll see," Jax said with his trade-mark smirk.

"Ok, first things first. What do you think is the reason why you can execute other spells flawlessly, but this spell catches you off guard?" Jax interrogated.

"I don't know. It's really weird. I can do other spells that are on a higher level, but this spell always sends me to the pool. Again...SPLASH! No matter how hard I try," Emma said as she confessed about her problems.

"Well, what do you think of when you cast spells and particularly, that spell?" Jax further interrogated, personally interested in the answer.

"You know, the first time I ever used magic, I didn't even know I was a witch. Daniel was the one who triggered them. I had butterflies in my stomach when I first saw him. I was just so nervous! Then, before I knew it, all these butterflies started fluttering around. That's why I always think of Daniel when I cast spells," Emma proclaimed matter-of-factly with a hint of a sudden realization.

Wow, what I would do for this girl to think of me when she casts spells, Jax crazily thought, lost in his imagination.

"Jax! Are you ok? You kind of zoned out there," Emma said with a hint of worry.

Jax's mind snapped out of it. He quickly raked through his brain to find a decent idea.

There has to be a connection between Daniel and the transportation spell. I just don't know it, though. Wait...the pool! He's Miami's best high school swimmer, though I hate to say it, or think it. That's probably why she transports everyone into the pool. That's the Sharks' pool. Daniel is connected to it! Jax cleverly realized.

"That's it! Daniel is the reason why your transportation spell sends people to the pool. Your connection to him or thought of him makes the pool your destination," Jax beamed with realization.

"You must be right! But, why does Daniel only affect this one spell?" Emma genuinely asked.

"I don't know...maybe it's because the spell can have an influence. Other spells are more inflexible, where you can't really mess them up. Either they come up perfectly or they completely fail. This may be a more simple spell, but the flexibility, as in the destination of this outcome is limitless," Jax explained, with the help of his knowledge of wizardry.

"Wow, I never thought about it like that. You have to be right! You know, for someone so smart, you'd think they'd have better grades," Emma said with a playful smirk.

"Well, I've never really been interested in our classes, anyway," Jax replied with an honest smile pasted on his face.

"You know, if you ever feel like getting good grades, I know a trick. You love competition, right? You say that you ALWAYS win. So why don't your grades prove that? Just think of doing school work like a competition. Then you'll have to do it, no matter what. This way, you might actually get that sense of accomplishment I keep telling you about," Emma explained with a sense of pride and a smirk.

"Thanks, I should actually try that sometime," Jax said as he reciprocated her smirk.

"Anyways, how do I transport to anywhere, but the pool?" Emma asked, bringing the conversation back on track.

"Easy. Just stop thinking about Daniel when you cast that spell," Jax simply said.

"But it's so hard to stop thinking about him. How do I concentrate on something else? Especially since it's still the Fool Moon," Emma explained.

"Just remember the advice I gave you for what happened with the T3. Clear the thoughts in your head and fill them with the place you want to transport to. If Daniel comes into your mind again, just pretend you're driving, where you have to steer clear from any thoughts of him," Jax said, while motioning a steering wheel.

"Thanks, Jax. You always know what to say," Emma said with a touch of gratitude.

"You ready?" Jax asked, looking at Emma.

"Ready," Emma answered, as she took Jax's hand.

"Ok, let's go!" They both said in unison.

As Emma cast the spell, they transported to a deep, beautiful forest.

"You did it, Emma! You did it!" Jax beamed proudly.

"Oh my god, I did it!" Emma cheered as she turned and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much!"

"No problem," Jax simply said with a laugh as he wrapped his arms around her.

Their hug eventually broke off and Jax asked a very important question, "Just speaking out of curiosity, where are we?"

"We're at my favorite place, the Forest. You know, I just happened to find this place a few months ago. Most people in Miami would rather be at the beach or the Seven, but this place is my favorite. You just can't find a place like this anywhere else in Miami. I've never brought anyone with me here...except now," Emma said as she walked to a fallen tree and sat on its trunk.

She looked up at the tree branches while Jax followed right after, sitting next to her on the trunk.

"Well, I'm glad that you brought me. It's beautiful here, Emma," Jax said, smiling.

It's beautiful... just like you, Jax thought as he stared at her with an honest admiration.

"Hey, Jax," Emma said as she looked at him.

"Yeah, what?" Jax asked with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Why did you go through all of that trouble just to help me?" Emma innocently asked, completely confused.

"Because I want to see you keep improving. I don't want anything to hold you back. I know it might sound weird, but I care about you. You were the only girl who caught my attention before I even knew you were a witch. You completely have me falling for you and you don't even need to try. Because you're perfect. You're extremely clumsy, sometimes awkward, and really dorky, but that's what makes you all the more better," Jax confessed as Emma laughed happily at that. "Your flaws make you interesting. They dare me to keep bothering you until I can learn more about you. You're perfectly unperfect. The longer I know you, the harder I fall for you. I like you so much. I've never cared about anyone this much before," He continued honestly as he grabbed Emma's hand.

"I know that a lot of people thought you were bad news, but I saw something good in you. You've done a lot of bad things in the past, especially involving me," Emma said with a giggle as she looked back at him with sincerity. "But you've always fixed it. You always made it up to me. And even if you didn't, you come talk to me WAY too often for me to completely dislike you," Emma further continued sarcastically with a smirk. "I care a lot about you, too. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you're one of my best friends. I can always count on you no matter what. You accept me completely; I don't need to hide or change anything about myself for you. Because I'm enough to you. Thank you so much," Emma finished well-intentionally as she hugged him.

Jax whole-heartedly smiled as he reciprocated her hug. As their hug broke apart, they just stared at each other. Want, yearn, happiness, admiration, and love filled their eyes. But it was a different kind of love. A love of friendship, a love of a dynamic bond. A love stronger than just dating or kisses.

They knew they couldn't do more than hugging. Because it would be dishonest. Because it would break Daniel's heart. No matter what happened here today, it doesn't change the fact that Emma and Daniel are still dating.

Jax continued to clasp Emma's hand as the girl thought, I never even realized it. How he cared for me. But now that I do, I realize that I've always been slowly falling for him since the start.

A/N: Awww, yay! My first official fanfic! I had an A:TLA Zutara fanfic before, but it was saved into my mom's phone. It was deleted, so I never got to share it. But anyways, I know that this was kind of short, but this actually took me a pretty long time to write. Nonetheless, thanks for reading! Have a good day...or night. (I read fanfics in the middle of the night, lol) )
