A/N: Hello all! I'm finally finished my spring semester of college! :D So, I'm free to write, until I get a summer job. This is by far one of my favorite POVs. I really wanted to portray how Emma was feeling when she had to tell Daniel why she picked Jax and how upset she was when she realized he wished she didn't bring him back. Without further adieu, here it is!

Fourteenth Installment: Season 4 Episode 10-11: Diego's Wipedown

Emma must explain why she chose Jax after Daniel regains his memory and why she brought him back to this life.

Emma's POV

"Are you okay?" I asked Daniel. I was standing in Daniel's garage, just a few moments after I ended the Continuum Break.

"Yeah, it was just kinda rushing and kinda fast." He then turned to look at me with a slightly hardened expression. "I just remembered everything."

I smiled brightly hearing this, glad the Continuum Break is over. "That's great!"

"I remembered how I remembered how I ended up in my other life."

I had a feeling where this was going.

"You chose Jax over me." I was right. I said nothing, all I could do was bite my lip. "I was going to walk you home. I reached out and thought you were gonna take my hand but you took Jax's." I stopped biting my lip and stared at him with my lips slightly parted. "And then all of a sudden I was just, BAM, in the Everglades."

I tried to defend myself. "That's not exactly how it happened. I...waited a long time before I took Jax's hand."

"Why, why did you pick him?" he asked.

Well isn't this great. The first thing he remembered was me picking Jax over him, and the look on his face made it even harder to explain my choice.

"Why did you pick Jax over me?" he asked again, clearly upset. "Is it because he's a wizard, and I'm just a human?"

Is that what he thinks? I wondered. That I chose Jax simply because he's like me?

"Would it make it easier if I said yes?" I retorted.

"I don't know," he admitted, making his way over to the couch. "I just want a reason, so I can understand."

This was harder than I thought. Telling the first boy you loved, the boy you would've risked everything for, that you chose someone else. Believe it or not, I had my reasons as to why I picked Jax over Daniel, but I wanted to spare his feelings, as he felt upset already.

"There isn't a reason, nothing I can put into words; it was just..." I paused, finally stopping myself from pacing to look him in the eyes. "a feeling."

He put his head down, trying to process what I had said. "But you wanna be with him and not me?"

I hesitated, not wanting to hurt him more than I already did. "I care about both of you," I admitted, sitting down at the table.

"You just care for him more."

This wasn't a question, and the answer was unavoidable. "Yes." I nodded.

"Emma, why did you do this to me?"

"I didn't know, picking Jax would send you away-" I tried to say.

"Not that." he said, cutting me off, "Why did you bring me here?" My eyes widened at his question. What does he mean why? Because I accidentally sent him to an alternate life!

"Why couldn't you just, leave me in the Everglades?"

Is he serious? Leave him there when it's my fault he was there in the first place?

"Because this is your life," I told him firmly.

"So was that!" he fought back. "I was happy, I had everything I'd wanted now it's gone and I have nothing!"

"That's not true." I assured him, "You got your life back, your family, your friends-"

"I don't have you," Hearing this made me feel worse about the situation. "I don't have Mia, I don't even have Billy! You gotta bring back Billy at least."

"I can't, he's not a part of this life."

"But he was apart of my life," he shouted, which startled me. I've never really seen him this angry, besides the first time we broke up. "I had him for ten years ever since he was a baby. He's never lived in the wild; he wouldn't survive out there."

I was at that moment, seeing his expression talking about Billy, that I sympathized with him. "There's nothing I can do, I'm sorry."

"I know, you're sorry." He turned around and faced the shelf, clearly not wanting to look at me anymore. "I think you should go now."

I didn't know what to do or say. We may not be together anymore, but I didn't want us to be on bad terms.

I stepped toward him. "Daniel, c' mon-"

"Emma please!" he begged.

I took another step, studying his face for any signs of possible forgiveness, but I found none. So reluctantly, I picked up my bag and trudged out of his house.

I realized that Daniel was not the same Daniel I knew. He's not the guy I instantly fell for the first time I moved to Miami. He's not the captain of the Sharks or a guitar player/singer-songwriter.

He's a different person, and I realized I have to accept that.

Thinking back to him being in the Everglades, I saw how happy Daniel was there, but I didn't think about his happiness, I only thought about what I thought was right.

I went through all this trouble to return Daniel back to his original life, and now I wonder if I only made things worse.
