HEY GUYS! I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN TO ALL YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE A JEMMA ONE-SHOT! AND AFTER OVER 30 REQUESTS! ENJOY! :)
Emma's POV
"I already have enough plants, so turn this one into a pair of pants." I said. The pinkish/purplish dust flew from my hand, to the plant, and turned it into a pair of denim jeans. I clapped at how well I was improving with my spells. I've been here for about the past 30 minuets improving myself.
I told Andi, and Daniel that my dad wanted me to have a bonding day with him, alone. I was getting better at lying. I really just wanted to be alone for a while. My dad was at some PTA meeting, and the students weren't aloud to come with the parents; otherwise he would have made me come. I've been taking the time I've been alone as an opportunity to practice my spells.
I decided that I had had enough of practicing, and took a little break. I went on the school website. Hey, I haven't been on in a while, what's the harm? I looked at the home page, only to find that there was a huge debate on whether I'm better with Daniel, or Jax.
WHAT?! Is that even a question?! I like Daniel! Is it not obvious?! I'm dating him! I shouldn't make such a big deal about this. It's just a bunch of kids who have nothing better to do with their day then to feel they have a right to tell someone who they belong with. We're not a bunch of fictional characters, that other people can just say 'I want you to date her', or 'I want you to date him', or 'I want you two to have kids'. We're real people.
"Hey Emma!" I head an Australian voice say from I front of me. I screamed, but calmed down when I realized it was just Jax. Then I got angry that he scared me.
"What do you want Jax?" I asked, annoyed.
(3rd Person's POV)
"Come on. Can't a guy just drop in to say hi?" He asked, innocently, as he sat himself in front of Emma, on her bed.
"And?" She asked, knowing there was something more to why he was here.
"Fine. I got board at home, and I knew you weren't doing anything, so I came here. Is that such a crime?" He asked. She just shrugged, the best she could, and looked down at her bed sheets. It was hard to shrug when you're laying on your stomach. "So, you wanna do something?"
Emma gave him a look that showed confusion, suspicion, and intriguement all at once. "What?"
"Just something. You know, we could go somewhere." He suggested. Emma wasn't sure. Sure, Jax was normally up to no good, but whenever he took her somewhere, in was never a bad place. He never took her somewhere dangerous, like an alley way. He took her places like to The 7, or to the beach. So she thought it would be fine.
"Alright, let's go somewhere!" She yelled, in excitement, as she sat up on her knees. Jax stood up.
"Alright. Where do you want to go?" He asked.
"I don't know. Let's just walk around town." She replied, shrugging, once again. Before she even knew what was happening, Jax grabbed her hand, pulled her off the bed, and right before her eyes were trees, and bushes, and flowers, and grass, and benches, and people. She identified this place as a park. Which one, she didn't know. How they got here in a split second, was thanks to Jax, and Emma knew that.
Normally, Emma would have been mad. She would have been red in the face with anger that Jax had done that. That he had used magic to teleport them to a public place, where somebody easily could have seen them just pop up out of no where.
But she had no time to be mad, cause Jax pulled her through the park, and into a building across from it, as he had yet to let go of her hand. When inside the building, she looked around, trying to identify their new location. She quickly recognized it as a coffeehouse. But it was unfamiliar. She had never seen this place before. And looking out the full wall windows of the coffeehouse, she didn't recognize any of the other shops on the street, as well. Jax pulled her to a table in the corner of the shop.
"Jax! Where the hell are we?!" Emma said, in a normal volumed voice. No one noticed, cause it was quite loud in here, for a coffee shop.
"Relax! We're just...outta town." He said, simply.
"What do you mean 'outta town'?" She asked.
"Calm down. I just brought us to a street that's a few miles from ours. You have nothing to worry about. It's okay. You're safe." Jax soothed Emma. He'd never said stuff like this before. But he never took her to a place where she freaked out at being at. And for some reason, his words did make Emma calm down. She relaxed. But still decided on ordering decaf.
"So, what exactly are we gonna do here?" Emma asked, turning towards Jax.
"Well, we can get some coffee, walk around, go in some shops, go to the park, get something to eat other then coffeehouse pastries." He finished. The last one made Emma laugh, for some reason. And Jax smiled at her laugh, and the fact that he made her laugh. "Alright, what do you want?" Jax stood up.
"Um, just decaf." Emma replied, simply.
"Decaf? Really? I'm getting you something much more interesting!" Jax said, and walked off before Emma could say anything to protest.
While Jax was talking to the lady behind the counter, Emma thought over what has happened so far. Well, Jax took her to a street she's never been on, a coffeehouse she's never heard of, getting her a mystery drink, and that about sums up the last 2 minuets.
"Here you go." Jax said, coming out of no where, and putting a tall cup I front of her. It was as tall as an iced coffee cup, and the it was in was in a styrofoam cup. Emma picked up the drink, so it came out of the styrofoam. The drink was not hot, it was actually quite cold, but anybody could easily see that it wasn't an iced coffee.
"Jax, what is this?" Emma ask, scared that if she took one sip, she either wouldn't like it, and spit take it, or she might like it, drink it all, and be 10x as hyper.
"Just try it, you'll love it! I promise." He said, taking another sip of his drink. Emma hesitantly brought the straw to her mouth, and took a sip of the coffee. She wouldn't have thought 10 seconds ago, that it was gonna be the best drink she ever had.
"Oh my gosh! This is amazing!" Emma said, looking at her drink.
"Told you you would love it." Jax said.
"What is it?" She asked, looking over at Jax, still smiling.
"An eiskaffee, café mocha, and a Miami vice." Jax told her.
"And what are those three things?" Emma asked.
"An eiskaffee is a German iced coffee with vanilla ice cream in it, and whipped cream, with chocolate shavings." Jax explained the eiskaffee first. "A café mocha has an espresso, chocolate syrup, steamed milk, and whipped cream on top. And a Miami vice has an americano, which is an espresso with double times the water, a cubanco coffee, which is an espresso with added sugar, and then it's just hot water and sugar. And that's what you're drinking." Emma almost didn't want to drink a coffee with so much caffeine in it, but it tasted so good. What's the harm? She took another sip.
"What did you get?" Emma asked Jax.
"A grosser brauner, green eye, and a cappuccino." Jax said, even though Emma didn't know what was in any of those, she chose to just continue drinking. "Let's go!" Jax said, out of no where. He grabbed her hand, and pulled her out of the coffeehouse.
"Where are we going?" Emma asked.
"You said you wanted to walk around town, so, let's walk." Jax said, and let go of Emma's hand.
They began walking down the sidewalk, passing many people, and many shops. To Emma, this looked like the country version of New York. Lots people walking around, but they were in no rush, they were just enjoying being outside, and being active.
On one side if the road, there were many shops that lined their side of the road, but on the other side, was a huge grass patch that lined the other side if the road. Kids were playing tag, and ball, and frisbee on it. Emma saw two adults having a picnic, and a little girl came up to them; probably their daughter.
She also saw a cute looking couple just fooling around. The girl tackled the guy in a hug, and he fell to the ground. She was on top, and took this as an opportunity to pin him to the ground. But she still kissed him, anyway.
Emma hadn't realized that her and Jax were at beach, that was on the end of the road, already. Very few people were on the beach; only two sets of families. Emma found this to be an amazing place, and wondered where they were. It was quiet, yet busy. But not busy with people trying to get from place to place, busy as in it had so many happy looking people everywhere. Emma hoped she was going to have a simple life like that, when she's older.
Her, and Jax walked down to the water. Emma was carful to watch Jax, to make sure he didn't throw her in. She was surprised when he grabbed her hand, and they started walking down the shore line. They walked for about 20 minuets, and Emma realized that nobody was around, not one person in sight, but herself, and Jax. Jax had let go of her hand about 15 minuets ago, but he grabbed it, once again, and they ran up to a house on the hill that lined the other side if the beach. Jax then took out a set if keys, from his jacket's pocket.
"Why are we going into somebody's house?" Emma asked Jax, slightly scared.
"It's not 'somebody's house', it's my house." Jax answered, and opened the now unlocked door to the beautiful beach house.
"This is your house?" Emma asked, surprised Jax's family would chose to live in a beach house.
"Kind of. Ya see, it's my parent's beach house, but they never come here, cause they're both afraid of the water." Jax said, but Emma was still confused. Why would they buy a house in Miami if they hated water? And isn't Australia known as a vacation spot for swimming? Jax saw her look of confusion, and continued. "This was originally my grandpa's beach house, but he gave it to my dad when we decided to move to Miami. My dad's afraid of water cause he fell off his dad's boat when he was 8, and hit his head on a rock. He had to get 12 stitches in his head. My mom's afraid of the water cause her parents were buried at sea when she was 24, and she just gets...anxiety attacks around oceans, lakes, rivers, and just big bodies of water in general. That's why they don't come here. So I do."
"That's so cool! Not that your parents are afraid of water, or the reasons they're afraid of the water, just that you have your own beach house." Emma rambled on, being her awkward self. He laughed at this. Jax loved that about Emma; her adorable awkwardness was one of the things that made him fall for her. Emma just laughed at her awkward self.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Jax asked. Emma shrugged.
"Sure." She said. "Want me to make popcorn?"
"Is that even a question?" Jax asked, still laughing. Emma rolled her eyes, but she was still smiling. She walked into the kitchen, and opened the cabinet. Once she spotted the popcorn, she took it out of the plastic, and put it in the microwave; setting the time at 2 minuets 10 seconds. She did not trust the 'popcorn' button! She waited a while, for the popcorn to pop.
"What movie are we watching?" Emma asked, looking through the square window that let you see the living room from the kitchen. Jax held up a DVD case, and Emma squinted to see the cover said Final Destination 4. Emma almost passed out at just seeing the cover of it.
"Relax Em, it's just a movie, it can't hurt you." Jax said, in a slightly taunting voice. She wanted to slap him upside the head for teasing her about being scared, but the microwave made a loud 'beeeeeeeeep' noise, signaling the popcorn was done. Emma took the hot bag out of the microwave, and poured it into a big bowl. She grabbed a couple of sodas from the fridge, and walked back into the living room. She was surprised when she saw Jax in his pajamas. She set the popcorn, and sodas down on the coffee table.
"How did you..." Emma asked, referring to his clothing change. Jax gave her a 'Are you kidding me?' look, while twirling his fingers in the air, as blue dust came from them. "Ohhh..." Emma said, trailing off.
"Why don't you change too?" Jax asked sitting down. Emma thought about it. I guess it's a pretty good idea, she thought. She casts a spell in her head.
Emma's POV
Where I am, I still don't know
It could be the Bahamas
But let me watch this movie comfortably
In my pajamas
And within seconds, I looked down at myself, and saw a pink tank top, and striped pajama pants. Jax motioned for me to sit down next to him. I sat a few inches away, but I had a feeling I was going to be on top of him in a few minuets. Why did it have to be a scary movie? Why?!
Excuse my language, but horror movies scare the fuck outta me! I never watch them alone. And who ever I'm with when I do watch them gets the life squeezed out of them, by me.
(Time Skip: Half Way Into The Movie)
Jax has already screamed 12 times. Not because he was afraid of the movie, but because he was in pain from me squeezing him too tight. I told you. Jax finished the popcorn. I didn't eat any. I would not let go of Jax's torso. Ever since my first scream in the beginning, I've had my arms wrapped around Jax's torso, and he put his arm around me, in a protective way. I didn't know why, but I felt safe in his arms. Like nothing could hurt me, but I was still horrified.
Approximately 57 minuets later, the movie was over, and I was crying. It wasn't as scary as I thought it was gonna be, but it was scary enough. I whipped away my tears. Jax stood up, and turned on the lights. He walked over to the DVD case, and pressed the 'open'
"Alright. See? That wasn't so–Emma, are you crying?!" He asked, shock, and fear written all over his face. I just wrapped my arms around my legs, and buried my face in my knees, and let it all out. I cried, and sobbed, very loudly. I guess the movie just reminded me of death. And I don't like death. I hate it. It took my mother. I felt a pair of strong, protective arms wrap around me.
I hate this! I look weak I front of Jax. He's always the badass, bad boy, and I'm just...me. I'm weak. I say I'm strong to those kind if people, and then I cry I front if them. I couldn't help it. I had my own problems; death being one of them.
"Shh. Emma. It's ok. The movie's over. It can't hurt you, now. You're safe. I've got you." Jax said soothing words in my ear. I couldn't help but feel better. I never understood it. Jax made me feel things I never felt. He got me to feel the opposite of what I wanted to feel. It was like he had complete control of my emotions. He made me feel safe, when I was scared. He made me feel happy when I was sad. And he was always there when I needed him, and even when I didn't need him. He was just always there.
I felt a pair of soft lips kiss my hair for a few seconds, and that was when I immediately felt a burst of happiness, in my stomach. I smiled, but Jax didn't see cause I still had my head in my knees. I lifted my head, and whiped my chin. Jax cupped my face with his right hand, and whipped the tears away with his thumb. I smiled at him, for caring. There's another thing I don't don't understand; why he cares so much. He always looked out for me, and was quite protective of me. But that was only when we were alone.
"Come on, let's watch SpongeBob!" Jax exclaimed, and put on Nickelodeon. I smiled, and laughed at his childness. I don't know why, but I leaned my head on his shoulder. I saw out of the corner of my eye, he looked at me with a confused look, but put his arm around me, anyway. I wasn't trying to be romantic, but...this felt right. Me and Jax. Jax and me. Emma and Jax. Jax and Emma. It kinda sounded right. But then I remembered Daniel. I was still dating him.
(Time Skip: You'll See)
I opened my eyes. I must have fallen asleep for a few minuets. I looked around, and everything was sideways. What? I felt something, or someone is more like it, playing with my hair. I looked up, and saw Jax. Then, it all clicked. I fell asleep, and somehow, my head ended up in Jax's lap, and he was playing with my hair. Jax looked down at me, as soon as he felt me move.
"Hey, you're up." He smiled at me.
"Yeah, what am I doing here? What time is it?" I asked, and fixed myself, so I was laying on my back now, but my head was still in Jax's lap. He looked at his phone.
"3:37 a.m." He said, calmly.
"WHAT?!" I yelled, shooting up.
"Relax, Em." He chuckled. "I called your dad, and told him you fell asleep while we were studying, and that you were staying the night. And I called my parents, and told them I was sleeping in the beach house tonight."
"And my dad trusted you?" I asked, surprised. My dad wouldn't even want me looking at Daniel, never mind sleeping over Jax's house.
"Yeah, but it was probably cause he thinks my parents are home." He told me. I nodded. "And I told him I'd bring you home tomorrow."
"Ok. I guess I'll just go back to bed." I said. I laid back down, but not on Jax's lap this time.
"What do you think you're doing?" Jax asked.
"Um, going to sleep." I replied, in an obvious tone.
"Not on this uncomfortable couch, you're not. Come on!" Jax said, standing up.
"Where?" I asked, for like the billionth time in the last 24 hours.
"You're sleeping in my bed." He told me.
"No Jax! I'm fine here on this couch!" I told him, and laid my head back down. I relaxed, but quickly became tense again when someone, Jax, picked me up, bridal style. "Jax! Put me down!" I yelled at him. He just chuckled, in response. He walked up the stairs, and into a room that I assumed was his bedroom. He set me down on the bed. I sat up, wanting to fight, but Jax was already beside me. "Why did you do that?!"
"Cause, I didn't want you to be uncomfortable on that couch, and I didn't want you to be alone considering the fact you were just bawling your eyes out, cause of that movie." He said. I brought my legs to my chest, again, and just store down at my feet. A few minuets went by, and me and Jax sat there in silence. "I'm sorry." I shot him a confused look.
"For what?"
"For picking out that movie. I didn't know it would scare you so much. And, I'm sorry." He apologized. I smiled.
"Jax, it's fine." I said.
"No, it's not Emma! For Christ sake, you were bawling your eyes out, you wouldn't look at anything, and you kinda almost had a panic attack!" He yelled. Good thing no one was in the house, and that the neighbors can't hear so well.
"Jax, calm down!" I yelled, a little less louder then him, and put my hand on cheek. "I told you, it's fine."
"Are you sure?" He asked. I put my hand back down.
"Of course. The movie may have scared me, but you helped me." I reassured him.
"I did?" He asked, smiling. I nodded. "How?"
"You made me feel safe when I was scared." I replied. "When I was thinking bad things, you were there, telling me it was ok, and that I was safe."
I didn't know how, or why, but for some reason, I felt Jax's soft lips on mine. I was surprised. Why is he doing this? Does he like me? Was it just caught up in the moment? And the biggest one: What is that feeling I'm feeling?
I was surprising both Jax, and myself when I began to kiss back. I felt something I never felt before by any other guy: loved. I felt like Jax really cared about me. Like he will always be there, and he always has.
I was the one who pulled away first. And we could not stop smiling at each other. I couldn't believe it. I just felt like someone electrocuted me, and lit me on fire. I've never felt that way with Danny before. Oh. My. god. DANIEL!
"Emma, can I tell you so something?" Jax asked.
"Yeah, of course." I replied.
"Listen, I know I've only known you for a few weeks. But in those few weeks, I've been...falling for you. I know, it sounds lame, and you've got a boyfriend. And I realize I'm probably not good enough for you. I mean, you're nice, smart, but you've got a wild side. And I love that about you. I want you to know, that even though you don't like me back–"
I kissed him. I full on, kissed him. I felt passion, sparks, butterflies, and love in this kiss. Just one kiss. That was it. And he knew that I liked him back. But that was what my brain was telling me. My heart was telling me it was something more. Something bigger then that. Something bigger then a crush. Something like love.
I pulled away, and sent him smile. He returned it. He finally got it.
"Jax, I don't just like you. I love you." I said, and kissed him again. This one was quicker, and he pulled away this time.
"What about Daniel?" He asked.
"Who needs Daniel, when I got you?" I asked, playfully. He laughed.
"Good point." He replied. Now I laughed. I heard a noise that I recognized as the text alert on my phone. I looked over at Jax's bedside table. My phone was sitting on it, along with the cloths I came here in. Guess they teleported up here. "You're phone has been going off, none stop! I kept hearing it from downstairs."
I grabbed my phone, and looked at who it was from: Daniel❤. I've gotta change that ID. "Speak of The Devil." I said.
"Daniel?" He asked.
"Yep." I nodded. I checked the message.
From: Daniel❤
Em! Please text me back! I'm worried sick about you!
I looked through the rest of them.
From: Daniel❤
Hey Em
Emma?
Emma, are you there?
Did your phone die?
Are you busy?
Do you need help?
Are you in trouble?
Emma, are you ok?!
Is something wrong?!
Em, what's happening?
Are you in danger?
Do I need to come down to your house?
I'm coming to your house.
I just went to your house, why aren't you home? Where are you?!
Em, it's late, you should be in bed, where are you?!
Em, please text back, so I know your ok!
I'll understand if you don't wanna talk, just please, text me!
Em, please text me back! I'm worried sick about you!
I rolled my eyes. I get that he's worried, but he's acting way too overprotective! I decided to call him.
Ring...ring...ri–
"Emma! Thank goodness you called! I've been worried sick!" I heard Daniel yell into the phone. I saw Jax mouth the word 'speaker'. I put it on speaker.
(Phone Conversation: Italics=Emma, Underline=Daniel)
Yeah, I'm great, actually.
Ok, good. You had me worried sick. Where are you, why aren't you home?
I'm sleeping over a friend's house.
Oh, ok. Glad to know you're safe. So, I'll see you at school tomorrow?
Um, yeah, about that Daniel, we need to talk.
About what?
I'm...breaking up with you.
(Silence)
Did you hear me?
What? Yo-you're-you're breaking up with me? Why?
Let's just say, there's someone else.
I hung up, not letting him respond. I looked at Jax, who was smiling at me.
"I'm proud of you." He said, out of no where.
"Why?" I asked.
"Cause you did what you believed in. I didn't tell you to break up with Daniel, or that you had to. You did that on your own. And it was right thing to do." He finished, and gave me a quick 3 second kiss. I smiled at him, again. "And you don't even seem affected by it." He laughed. I just shrugged.
"I guess I just wasn't as into him as I thought I was." I admitted.
"Well, regardless, I'm still proud of you, and I still love you." He smiled.
"I love you too." I told him. We kissed one last time, before getting under the covers of his bed. He wrapped a protective arm around My waist, and pulled me in closer to him.
"G'night Jax." I said.
"Good night Chosen One." He said, and kissed my neck, and we both fell asleep.
