I'm back! My finals for college are over, and I'm free to write to my heart's content :D Finally, a Jax chapter. He is my favorite EWW character, so I knew I had to do him justice. I really wanted to explore what he was feeling in this scene. I hope you enjoy reading it!

Ninth Installment: Season 2 Episode 22: The Abyss

How Jax was feeling during and after Emma broke up with him.

Jax's POV

I quickly left the house after getting Emma's text to meet her at the Seven. I was hoping it meant she would help me get my powers back from the Council, or maybe it was just another date.

Either way, I got to see her again, so I wasn't complaining.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I saw her sitting alone at a table, in a dress that really flattered her shape, a denim jacket worn over it, and some reddish-pink lipstick. I quickly walked over to her.

"There you are! I've been texting you all afternoon!" I said to her.

"Oh yeah, sorry I was busy," she said with a solemn expression. I wasn't sure what the cause of it was, but I continued.

"Listen, I think we should try again with the Council."

"Jax-" she started to say.

"And this time, maybe not bring the Hex. He blocked me from going in last time. What was up with that?" I asked. Seriously, that book seemed to have it in for me.

"Jax-" she tried again, a bit more forceful, but I cut her off, wanting her to hear what I had to say.

"And if the Council's not there, then I can just walk right in and grab my powers off of Agamemnon's desk." I had to keep reminding her of that option; it was the best plan in my opinion.

"JAX!" she almost shouted, which startled me; she rarely ever yelled. "Look, I've been thinking..."

"Oh no," I said, dropping my head. "No good sentence ever started with 'I've been thinking.'"

She continued hesitantly. "And, I don't think this is working out," gesturing towards her and me.

I was a bit confused. "What do you mean?"

"I realized, all the things you like most about me, when I'm impulsive," she lowered her voice "when I use magic to get what I want, it's not really me."

"Of course it's you." I fought back. Couldn't she see the Fool Moon was bringing out a side of her she didn't know she had?

"That's the Fool Moon, and the excitement of learning new spells. But, underneath all that, I'm still just me. Boring, responsible, glittery Emma."

The fact that she sincerely believed her impulsiveness and frequent spell-casting wasn't 'really her' kind of irked me. She is a witch, the Chosen One; casting spells is something she has to do and perfect. However, the last thing I wanted to do was upset her.

"Well, I, I-" I struggled to come up with an appropriate answer, but stopped, when both of us noticed that Gigi was filming us. Great, now the whole school would know about this.

After she ran off, I continued.

"I like that you're responsible." I knew it wasn't entirely true, but I don't know, I just couldn't lose her, not now.

"No, you don't, and that's okay. But you should be with someone you can be totally carefree with."

"C' mon Emma, we can make this work." I pleaded. "I know I've been selfish lately, but after the Fool Moon, everything will change; you'll see."

"I'm sorry Jax, but I've made up my mind." I felt a pain in my chest at those words; that's never happened to me before. I never got dumped, especially by someone I actually cared about.

"But I do still wanna be friends," she admitted.

"Yeah, sure-whateves," I said, trying to look like it didn't bother me, but it definitely did.

"Ok then, I guess I should go."

"Good," I said quietly, looking down. I heard her get up and leave the Seven, and in a matter of seconds, I was alone.

I kept wrapping my head around what just happened. All I could feel was imaginary knives stabbing me in the heart, and it was ripping slowly into shreds. It was at that moment I felt hot tears welling up in my eyes, but they never fell. I instead blinked them away.

It was weird, I've never felt this way before about anyone. I mean, sure, she was an occasional 'stick in the mud', but I opened her up and helped her let loose. Now, all of a sudden, she condemned it for the Fool Moon changing her. It didn't change her; it released her, finally showing the side of her personality she was holding back for so long. I guess I should've known she wouldn't open up so easily.

My biggest concern is going through with the plan. How was I going to convince her to combine the last two lights during the Fool Moon now that we're not together anymore? My dad was sure as hell going to be mad at me, and I'd have to listen to him again call me a disappointment.

But, I cared for Emma, I still do. She was very powerful, whether she knew it or not, and very beautiful, possibly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

I felt my heartbeat accelerate just thinking about her. I also started getting goosebumps on my arms. Suddenly, I didn't have an appetite, and as tired as I was before I got here, it seemed as though the feeling disappeared like I was never tired in the first place.

I began to think about an explanation of all these things happening, and quickly dismissed it. No, it couldn't be true. I couldn't be in love.

Could I?
