Beside You

Disclaimer: I don't own the series, Every Witch Way. I also don't own the song, "Beside You" by 5 Seconds of Summer (which was my inspiration for the story).

A/N: This will be a Jemma story inspired by "Beside You" by 5 Seconds of Summer. Semi-AU. Please enjoy! :)

Jax's P.O.V.

Waving my index finger's magic touch, I packed my bags within a minute.

After being caught by The Council for doing the illegal cloning spell, I had to live in the magic realm. For good. My dad couldn't get me out of it this time. Neither could my mom, for obvious reasons.

I thought I was going to get my powers taken away. Turned out I was wrong. So wrong. Instead, they forced me to live in the other world. Away from my friends; away from my family. Away from everyone.

They thought that taking my powers wasn't good enough of a punishment. Being forced to live away from everyone I care about is, however. I can't believe I'm saying this, but my powers aren't worth this.

I don't wanna go.

My thoughts stay silent, while everyone's words are all I see. Especially hers that stay with me.

"Don't ever leave," Emma says, clutching me away from the portal. Tears started dripping from her eyes. I started crying, too. We hug one last time before I face the other world. Once again, she repeats her same words.

I want to say so much, but nothing comes out. I look at her once more, then turned back. The portal closed. I couldn't see her anymore. Or anyone else.

Falling asleep on the first night here, we still connect through the same sky. Our hearts beat together all at the same time. I miss you. We're so close, but so far away.

Can you hear me yelling for you? I hope the sky gets my messages through.

She sleeps alone. Without Daniel. Without me. Without anybody. I might still be here in the magic realm, but my heart will always be there. With you, Emma.

I wish I was beside you. You still lie awake, missing me. I stay here in this new world, missing you. Even now, I struggle trying to find the right words. My heart still yearns to come back home.

Another day passes. I'm still here in someplace new to me. Then I remember. I promised you that I'd come back home somehow. I don't know how it'll happen, but I'll do whatever I can. Do whatever I can to come back to you.

I start crying for a bit, wondering if you could see me from the other side. If only you could bring me back; back to you.

Again, we both wake up. Under the same sun in the sky, time pauses. I wish it would stop. It needs to stop, so I can rewind. We are so close, bonded by magic. But still so far away.

Both of us have pieces of ourselves, shining under all the city lights. They keep shining, while we just fade into the night. After everything, she still sleeps alone. And me, more than anything, wishes to come back home. Right beside her.

"Do you hear me, Emma? I'm calling after you!" My thoughts now just became words. Maybe she can hear me. I know she still lies awake at this moment. Still always sleeping alone. I wanna be there. To comfort you; to be with you. Right now.

I wish I was beside you.

A/N: I know it's kinda short, but I loved writing this! It felt so close to the song. Thanks for reading. :) P.S- I love 5SOS sooooo much! Sorry if you don't. ;)

Oh, and at first, I was going to just make this a one-shot, but after what happened so far in Every Witch Way, I changed my mind. This will be my first EWW multi-chapter. Don't worry, the other chapters will be longer. ;) This chapter will be the only one written like this. Think of it as like a prelude. Anyways, I was so upset at what they did to Jax, I wanted a fanfic of what I wished happened instead. Except a semi-AU twist. Hehe, yeah!

The reason why I never did multi-chapters before was because of my sucky commitment issues. :P I won't be the best updater, but I'll try my best. It's because I have to go to the library to post my stuff. I don't have Internet or wifi. I can read fanfics and PM people on my dad's phone, but nothing else. So anyway, I won't make promises about updating regularly. It's gonna be pretty sporadic. So, be prepared. XD Well...bye! ;)
