Hehe Here we go

Elias's POV

"I swear to god I didn't mean it like you heard it-" Emma said as soon as she entered my room. She seemed to looked around. I sighed. "Explain to me exactly what happened then." I said, crossing my arms.

Emma's lip quivered. I had to keep my defenses up. Please don't fricken cry. "I- thought Sasha was gone, so I was only trying to say that she wouldn't be a good fit for you! I didn't know that-" Emma stopped, tears rolling down her face.

My heart was telling me to comfort her, but my mind set off all the red flags. I ran fingers through my hair. She's acting, I reminded myself. This is all just a performance for her.

"I didn't know that you were there! I just wanted the best for you and I know that Sasha isn't a good fit. It's fine if you don't pick me...I understand... I've been cruel..." Emma said, starting to sob.

I grabbed her shoulders and shook her slightly. She seemed startled, almost to the point where she could have hit me. Thank goodness she did not. "Your right, I'm not picking you, but calm down, alright?" I said. Emma sniffed, looking down.

"What you said to Sasha is mean.. and I have accounts for you manipulating several people, including Kahlie. I-" I stopped, letting go of her shoulders. "I'm sorry Emma but I can't keep you here." I said.

She immediately seemed embarrassed and sad. I had to remind myself that I couldn't have her here. "So it's over-" She whispered. I raised my eyebrows. "What's over?"

"The Selection. Your choosing Sasha." She said, looking back up at me. I shook my head. "Then Kate?" She asked. I shook my head again. "It's not over, There is still Gwen, Emmy, Kate and Sasha-"

"We all know Gwen doesn't like you enough for that- She's making our wedding dresses, not just hers. Emmy doesn't like you like that. Kate and Sasha do. So which one is it?" She said, crossing her arms. Every hint of her angry.

I stared blankly at her. The question stumped me. "That's... none of your business yet..." I said slowly. "Well you must know who your more attracted to-" Emma started to say. I shook my head. "Please leave. Have your maids help you pack." Emma frowned. Then, without a single word, left the room.

Just before I was about to shrink into my chair, there was another knock on my door. I thought it was Emma, but when I opened my door I saw Emmy. "Oh-" I said, surprised. Emmy looked nervous. She didn't even ask as she walked in.

"I'm leaving, Elias." She said confidentially, looking back at me. I froze again. My brain was on overload. "I- Michael's position as guard is almost up, and he was going to go home. I want to as well." She said again, looking up at me.

This was all happening way to fast. I nodded, dumbfounded. Emmy smiled. "I-I'm leaving first thing in the morning." She said looking at me. She pulled me into a quick hug. "Thank you so much for this opportunity, Elias. I'll never forget it-" Emmy beamed.

I smiled back at her. It's what she wants. She left quickly, and I didn't feel that bad. I still had to think. Three Selected left. Only three. This is way too hard.

Emma and Emmy have left. I thought it would be funny if both of the "E" names went together. Who will Elias choose? :D
