The Queen of Broken Hearts

Jefferson Gets Even

The group had split into two now with Hook, Neal and Emma heading to capture pans shadow and Kitty, Jefferson, Snow, David and the kids head towards tinker bell's treehouse. Grace was drinking some water before she decided to offer some to the others so she passed it to David who smiled gratefully and took a drink before turning to Snow "Here." He says but she just pushes past him and Grace whistles lowly gaining a tap on the arm from Jefferson "I'm okay." Snow says and Grace just walks beside her father not wanting to talk to her mother because she still felt guilty. 

"Are you? Because you've hardly said two words to me since the caves. Hell, since yesterday... Look, I... I know you're upset I didn't tell you I was poisoned and even though it might seem like it wasn't fair, that's all I was trying to do...be fair." David says looking at Snow who was avoiding all eye contact with him before she hums and points at the bushes in front of them. "I think Tinker Bell's is that way." She says and Grace and Jack both smirk at each other before Grace whispers to him "David's in the dog house." She whispers in a sing song voice making Jack laugh and Jefferson just squeezes Kitty hand before clearing his throat which gains the attention of the kids. 

"let's keep moving you two trouble makers." He says and the two kids continue walking as David sighs before following after the others. It was clear that the man was desperate for Snows attention, he was acting like a puppy who was trying to get his owners attention "I think we're almost at Tink's." He says and Kitty just leans her head on Jefferson's arm and he glanced down at her, he was slightly worried with how quiet she was being but he decided to ask her about it later so for now he just kisses her head and they keep walking. Jack and Grace were walking behind Snow and Grace was genuinely curious if David was going to drop to his knees and beg Snow for forgiveness, because with the way he was acting it was definitely on the table. 

"I see why she picked this area... Nice quiet jungle... Might make a good spot for a hut, don't you think?... Or a tree house, if you prefer... Mary Margaret?" He says and she doesn't answer and just keeps walking which makes the two kids snicker and keep walking. David was frustrated with the whole situation, Kitty never told anyone she'd been poisoned with dream shade and no one was ignoring her, so why was Snow ignoring him. "Snow! When are you gonna start talking to me again? When we're storming Pan's camp? When we're grabbing Henry? When?! You need to say something." David says storming by the others to grab Snow's arm forcing her to look at him and she looks furious and Grace whispers to Jack again "it's about to go down." She whispers and Jack nods his head. 

"Why? You didn't, you didn't tell me anything." She says to him angrily and he nods his head as he looks at her "At first, I was hoping that I could find a cure for the poison and if I could, then I... I figured there was no reason to worry you." He says and Snow nods her head and looks over at Kitty briefly "Okay. But then you did find a cure, you and Hook even cured Kitty and you still didn't tell me!" She says and David nods his head guilty "I know." He says and Snow looks at him confused "So what, were you afraid of, worrying me again?" She asks him and he shakes his head "No. I... I... I didn't think..." he trails off and Snow scoffs "No, you didn't... you didn't think You didn't think I had a right to know you could never leave this island?! Why didn't you tell me?" She pushes for an answer and both kids jump when David shouts. 

"I was scared!" He shouts and Kitty just squeezes Jefferson's hand and he leans down to kiss her forehead and she smiles up at him with her cat eyes that Jefferson absolutely adored "Did you think I wouldn't stay here with you? After everything we've been through? Did you think I would ever leave your side?" Snow asks him and he shakes his head "No, I knew you wouldn't. That's what scared me. And I didn't want that for you. I didn't want you to be stuck on this island with me. The price of this cure was something I didn't want to force on you." He says and Snow shakes her head at him. Kitty worried about this same problem now that she also shared the same fate as David, she knew that Jefferson would never leave her here alone and the kids certainly never would either and that terrified her.
