After the revenge
Disclaimer: I own nothing. All these characters are the property of ABC. This takes place after Emily takes down the initiative and makes her enemies pay.
Emily walked home. It was over at last. Her enemies were all either dead or wishing they were dead. But victory had come at a terrible price. Her mother was dead, so was her only real friend Nolan. Charlotte blamed Emily for the death of her mother, with good reason. And Jack knew the truth, he hated what Emily had become. Emily had often wondered what she would do when her master plan was finally over, now she knew. For all her money she knew she would never be truley happy ever again. Maybe she could've been once but instead she chose vengeance. Emily knew she didn't need a reason to kill herself. She needed a reason not to. There wasn't one. But as Emily arrived home she saw Jack on her porch. Amanda waited with little Carl. Was it possible he was coming back to her? Emily had never expected to see Jack again, now that he knew the truth. But here he was on her porch. Amanda watched from a distance with her baby. She seemed nervous, was he going back to her?
Jack: I just came to say goodbye.
Emily: You're leaving?
Jack: This is my home. I can't make you leave, but I don't want you near my wife or my son.
Emily: You know what those people did to me, to my father. They stole our future together.
Jack: And what did your revenge do to us? We could've been happy, but you chose revenge.
Emily: You fell for her because you thought she was me.
Jack: Maybe at first. I was angry at her, but we have a child, and I love her. She was never the little girl I once had a crush on, but you're not that girl anymore.
Emily: You're right. My childhood ended when they framed my father.
Jack: Well you got your revenge, but it nearly killed my son, and your sister. Actually, Charlotte isn't really your sister, is she. While Charlotte was in the hospital over this last month Amanda was visiting her, you were getting your precious revenge. I am sorry about what they did to you, but I can't have you near my family.
Emily: I understand. I'll leave, you'll never see me again, if that's what you really want.
Jack: It is. Goodbye Emily.
Emily: Goodbye Jack.
Emily went inside as Jack went back to Amanda and little Carl. Emily had achieved what she'd set out to do, worked so hard on. But she'd lost everything. Nolan and her mother were dead, Charlotte, Jack, Amanda wanted nothing to do with her. Emily had sometimes wondered what she would do when it was all over, now she knew. Emily still had her money, but a lifetime of misery to look forward to. At least it wouldn't be a long life. Emily went to her drawer and took out her gun. She watched from the window until Jack and Amanda were gone. Emily wondered if she would be reunited with them. She doubted it, but she didn't care. She was tired and wanted it over. Emily put the gun to her head and felt the barrell on her temple. She had wanted death, but always wondered if she could go through with this. But with the gun to her head Emily didn't feel fear, only relief that all her pain was about to end. Emily closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.
