A new start (Pt2)

Chapter 17

Edited
"What do you mean you took her to New York?" I hear Stefan say through the phone.

I smirk and call Jax.

"Who dis?" He answers.

"It's Emma." I say.

"Who?" He jokes.

"Can you come over?" I ask getting to the point.

"Who's house?" He asks.

"Salvatore residence." I say.

"Okay but then you're going to explain why you haven't called or I haven't heard from you." He says.

"Yeah okay." I say.

"What's wrong? I feel a hint of change ever since a couple days ago." He says.

"Just hurry." I say. He went to Chicago anyway why he tripping about me not calling.

Stefan hangs up the phone and I see Caroline cleaning the mess.

I sneak to the door and open it.

"Jax." I say.

"Emma." He says and gives me a hug.

Weird.

He pulls back and looks at me.

"No." He says.

I stare at him blankly.

Huh.

Bitch what?

"Why'd you flip the switch?" He asks.

"Oh well my baby brother died my only family left. Elena also did. You should've been there dear god was I acting like a crazy person Jax." I say as we both enter the house.

"I mean we both were." I say.

I go to pour myself some whiskey.

"Want some?" I ask.

"What happened with the cure?" Jax asks.

"Team Stefan and Rebekah shit happened. Like ligit everything fell apart at the last minute. Katherine took it." I say.

"Katerina like Petrova?" He asks.

"Yeah like the doppelgänger." I say and grab a random whiskey bottle from the floor drinking it.

"So why'd you invite me?" Jax asks.

"Well maybe I just wanted to see you." I say coming up to him.

I know Stefan's listening.

"Emma." He says.

"You know you are quite hot." I say and drag my finger on his jawline.

"Stop fucking around you aren't you." Jax says.

"Oh come on I'm Emma." I say leaning closer.

"Not the Emma I met in Chicago. Not the Emma that almost killed me in her car." Jax says.

"I'm better this way. Improved." I say and drown my whiskey.

"Emma." I hear from behind me.

Stefan.

I roll my eyes and turn around.

"Yeah?" I ask.

"Who's this?" He asks.

"It's Jax." I say.

"Hey I'm Jax you must be Stefan Emma used to talk about you a lot." Jax says and shakes Stefan's hand.
