OKAY THE NEXT CHAPTER IS HERE. SRY IT TOOK SO LONG, I'VE BEEN BUSY WITH SCHOOL. ENJOY!
At first, none of the girls said anything. Andi looked around nervously, as she didn't want to be the first to confess something, especially to Mia, who she didn't fully trust yet. Mia couldn't go first, as she was new to their sleepovers. So, Emma volunteered.
"I'll go!" she said, "TBH, I have bunny slippers and I wear them when I'm home alone." Andi snorted, because that screamed typical Emma. Mia went next.
"Ok, well, TBH, I have never had a boyfriend, or a crush on a boy, until I came here." Mia said with a blush. She looked down, embarrassed.
"Same here." said Emma, while patting her on the back.
"Well...considering I never liked ANYONE until I created Phillip and Emma here brought him out of the game and turned him human...ME TOO." Andi said with a laugh. Emma and Mia began to laugh along too.
"Ok, um, TBH, my dad made me join the Sharks. I used to hate swimming, but after making the team, I grew to love it!" Andi confessed. Emma was shocked too, due to all the times Andi would go on and on about it. From shark meets, to beating her previous times, and almost making captain (2nd in command after Daniel).
"I was thinking of trying out, since I was a lifeguard last summer, but I knew it might be awkward for me, considering my crush is on the team, AND the captain." Mia added.
"Don't worry about it." Andi assured. "We could use a new member, and it would be nice to have another girl on the team too, then I won't be in the girls locker room alone." Andi said half-jokingly. This made Mia crack a smile.
"Ok, I'll do it!"
Emma then realized it was her turn to confess something. She thought a bit, and had a few ideas, one of which she wanted badly to get off her chest. So, she proceeded.
"Ok. TBH...I feel really bad about dumping Jax last year." Andi's face fell as Mia's looked confused.
"You two went out last year?" Mia said, surprised.
"Yea, but she broke up with him because she still liked Daniel, but told him they were too different." Andi replied for Emma.
"I did think we were too different, it's just that I didn't have the heart to also tell him I still loved Daniel." Emma said. She felt tears forming in her eyes and her cheeks getting red, but continued. "How could I possibly think that he would be okay with being just friends, after he sacrificed his powers for me, and I kiss him? Then, I went right back to Daniel; I wonder how he must have felt. I thought for a while it was my fault that he tried to destroy the realm, that if I didn't break up with him..." she trailed off, being cut off by her own tears and whimpers. Andi and Mia quickly comforted her with hugs and pats on the back.
"You can't blame anyone but Jax for his actions; he knew exactly what he was doing." Andi comforted. "Luckily, he snapped out of it and helped us by giving your powers back...at the last minute." Andi muttered through her teeth. She used to hold a little grudge to Jax about almost destroying the realm, but after he helped turn Phillip human, who is now his best friend, he has kind of grown on her.
"Yea, and he seems to have proven his worth this year; he literally has never left your side. He must know now that you love him, otherwise you wouldn't have picked him over you know who." Mia noted.
Emma sobered up and smiled at her best friend and her new friend. Little did they know, it was Jax's father who forced him to go through with it (this is something Jax only told Emma. He asked her not to tell anyone else, as he didn't want questions about his family being thrown at him). "Sorry, didn't mean to cry. I just had to get that off my chest; it was bothering me; I didn't realize how much until now."
"Did you ever tell Jax you felt this way?" Mia asked.
Emma was silent for a minute, then spoke. "No, because I know what he'll say: it's his fault, and he should have never tried to destroy the realm or hurt me." Emma knew Jax always defended her and made her seem like she did nothing wrong, but he couldn't help feel that she was somewhat responsible for the strain in their relationship. Fortunately, they were able to rekindle it this year; they were stronger than they ever were. He dropped a lot of his "bad boy ways" for Emma, the girl he is in love with. He stood by her when Daniel went darko, against the Witches Council when they tried to overthrow her, and from Mia (when she was hell-bent on revenge on her kind).
Jax is more than likely the best thing that has ever happened to her, and she didn't want to lose him by bringing up the past; it was a struggle for him just to tell her about his own family.
"Em, if it's bothering you that much, I think you should tell him, regardless of what he'll say." Andi recommended.
Emma sighed, knowing Andi was right. She wiped the remaining tears in her eyes and on her face. "Ok, I will, but for right now, let's finish playing!" She said enthusiastically. Both girls nodded, agreeing with Emma, and continued.
"TBH, I'm jealous that you all have your parents, at least one of them, while mine are not here." she said in almost a whisper. Emma sympathized with her, knowing what losing a parent is like.
"I know what losing a parent feels like; my mom passed when I was just a baby, so I don't even have any memories of her; just a few pictures. You'll get through it, and be stronger for it." Emma reassured.
Mia then smiled, and said, "Thanks Emma. I'm really glad you guys invited me over; I could use some friends like you two." This made both Emma and Andi smile, glad the sleepover was going so well.
"Who's up for more pizza?" Andi asked. The three girls went to the kitchen to get slices and even some ice cream bars, laughing and talking.
The boys haven't really done anything since Diego left. Since he didn't answer anyone's text, they figured he probably isn't coming back. For a while, they all justsat around, taking turns looking at the ceiling, glancing at each other, and eating food. Phillip decided to break the silence.
"Prank Call?" Jax and Daniel both looked up, pondering the thought. All they really did was play video games and eat., so they figured why not.
"Okay, but who?" Jax asked.
"The girls?" Daniel suggested.
"NO." Phillip and Jax replied together. "They'd kill us."
"How about the Panthers?"
"You mean, just Katie and Sophie?" Jax asked, clarifying.
"Yep, I bet they're hanging together."
Jax and Phillip thought it was an "ok" idea. "Let's do it!" Phillip enthused.
While Daniel dialed the number, they all secretly hope this prank call shed some of the awkwardness and boredom that was present post-Diego leaving (A/N: to become a man xD)
A/N: Okay that's the chapter! I really wanted to explore Emma feeling guilty about how things with her and Jax wet down in Season 2. We all know in Season 3 Jax tries his best to change for Emma, because he's in love with her, but Emma never really seems to apologize at least for breaking up with him the way she did.
Oh well, it's my opinion, and they're canon for Season 4, so I'm happy :) Reviews?
