Cheering Up
Jax POV
After I explained everything to Aunt Leah I went to bed, mainly to escape her relentless teasing. I get it, we almost kissed, let it go woman! I go upstairs and call Em. No answer, that's weird. She's probably sleeping. I wonder if she liked tonight as much as I did. I fall asleep smiling, deciding to go to her place tomorrow morning. This will be so much fun.
I wake up in the morning and put some extra effort into looking good.* I wear a black leather jacket and a navy blue t-shirt with combat boots and black jeans. Once I'm dressed I go downstairs and eat breakfast, pancakes and sausage. On my way out I leave Aunt Leah a note saying that I'll be at Em's. I get on my bike and drive to her house.
I walk up to the door and knock. After two minutes the door still hasn't opened, but I see Em's bedroom light on. I tele-transport in and see her body hidden by blankets and hear her sobs. I'm instantly filled with concern and anger. Why is she crying? Is someone responsible for it?! I bet it's Mama's Boy Miller's fault. Oh, somebody's about to get Jaxd!
"Em, what's wrong?" I ask in concern. I push away my anger as much as possible. The last thing that I want is for her to think I'm mad at her, which would be utterly ridiculous. I sit down and gently rub her back, to show that I'm here for her. She sniffles and takes the blanket off. I am met with a total of three empty pizza boxes and a tear covered Em. Her crying isn't as severe now, which is definately good.
It boggles my mind how even when her face is covered in tears and she smells like garlic, pineapple and anchovies, I still can't help my urge to kiss her, or spill my guts about my feelings. Or maybe both. I guess that's just what happens when you're in love, nothing can change the fact that you want to be with them. I guess I really am in love, not that I ever doubted it.
"D-danny, b-broke up w-with m-me." She says between cries. It takes all of my willpower not to track him down and teach him a lesson, and if it weren't for the fact that Em needs me right now I would. It doesn't matter why he did it, she's hurt. Oh he is so going to regret ever hurting Em later, but for now she needs me.
"Why?" I ask, hoping that it wasn't about what I think it was about. If he dumped her over her powers I will actually kill him.** I mean, yeah she lied, but it was to protect him. If he can't get that there is yet another thing to add to the list of things wrong with mbm.
"H-he k-knows about m-my powers." Em says, a tear falling down her cheek. I wipe it away with my thumb, still caressing it afterwards. She gives me a small smile, and I know what I need to do next.
I stand up, pulling her with me. She frowns, confused.
"What are you doing?" She asks, still frowning. If she thinks I'm about to let her mope around over some heartless jerk that never truly cared she's got another thing coming.
"I'm not about to let you sit around moping over a heartless jerk that should be turned into a butterfly, still be allergic to them, and therefore become allergic to himself." I tell her, adding a little joke. She laughs a tiny bit and playfully rolls her eyes. I smile, partly because her smile is highly contagious, and partly because I know that I'm the one that made it happen.
"Ah, a smile, finally."*** I tease, biting my lip when I smile. She smiles more and rolls her eyes playfully. How the heck is she so incredibly beautiful even as a total mess?! I'm still holding her hand from when I literally dragged her out of bed. Either she hasn't noticed or likes it. I hope it's the latter, but she just went through her first big breakup. So it most likely isn't.
"Where are we going?" She asks, no longer crying. Mission accomplished.
"The Seven." I decide, which is partially a lie. She nods, stepping toward her flats.
"Uh, Em, you might want to clean up and change first." I say. I don't think it's a good idea for her to go out like this. She laughs and takes a step back.
"Yeah, that's probably a good idea." We laugh and she walks to the bathroom. I turn to face the door.
Maybe I can make today better than she thought it would be.
Emma POV
After Jaxy came over I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and changed my clothes. I put on a pink flowery romper and a bright yellow leather jacket. The jacket was Jaxy's idea, but I liked it.
He tele transported us to a carvival.
"Jaxy! Where are we?" I ask, a little alarmed. He smirks at me. My heart begins to race. Stop it Emma! Even though you actually don't need to, still. Stop!
"Your surprise." He grins, and I can't help but grin back at him.
"I thought we were going to the seven?" I ask. He does that aborable thing where he bites his lip and grins. Wait, aren't I supposed to be heartbroken or something? How is he taking it all away?
"We are, after the fair." He smirks. I giggle a little and I swear I saw his smirk turn into a smile right after I giggled. I brush it off.
"Okay then, lead the way." I say, holding out my hand. He takes it and off we go.
Maybe I can enjoy today after all.
Time Skip: The Seven(still Emma's POV)
When we were at the fair Jaxy won me all sorts of stuffed animals and things. I told him he didn't have to, but he insisted. Repeatedly. We were there for two hours and now we're at The Seven.
"Thank you for taking me to the fair. I had a really great time." I smile, gazing up at him. Our hands are intertwined, but I don't wanna pull back. It feels, comforting. Like I'm safer when I'm with him. I know for a fact that I am, but the hands just remind me.
"I did too." He smiles. We walk over to the small couch and sit down. He takes a deep breath and looks into my eyes.
"Look Em, I know that you're still pretty heartbroken right now, but I need you to listen to what I'm about to say, okay." He says carefully. I smile and nod. Although right now all I can do I is stare into his deep brown eyes, so I'm not 100% sure exactly what he's saying. He begins to caress my cheek and I think I'm going to die.
"You are smart, funny, courageous, caring, kind, and beautiful." I feel my cheeks turning pink and he smiles before continuing."Daniel is a total idiot for letting you go. Any guy would be so lucky to even have a chance with you. I know I would."
That caught my attention. Is he saying what I think he's saying? Does Jaxy like me? I mean, I've suspected it, but for him to be confirming it. Right here right now. Oh boy, my heart is going at a million miles a second over here.
"Emma I." He starts, taking a deep breath before continuing."I've had feelings for you for a while now, and to see you hurt today killed me."
I can no longer move. I can't speak. I can't say or do anything.
I suddenly admit it to myself. All of these thoughts, all the electric shocks when we touch, they can only mean one thing.
I like him too.
A sudden burst of energy comes through me and I do something I never thought I'd do.
I...
CLIFFHANGER! I know, I'm terrible. :) I hope you liked it. Review what you think she did. I know the answer. XD! Well, I would hope I knew, I did write the story after all. I put a whole lot of Jemma in this chapter. Jax's out loud confession and Emma's mental confession made ME die of feels. And I'm the freaking writer! I hope you enjoyed. Please review.
* To be fair, when does Jax not look good. Never! ;)
** And the world( and Mr. Alonso;) ) would think you for it:)
*** A quote from Season three, when Jemma were talking about Em's meeting. It was soooo cute!
Byyyeee Jemmas!
