EMMA'S POV:
"Attention Passengers, Flight DJ138 to Sydney is now ready for boarding. Please proceed through to gate 34."
I sighed and stood up from my seat, vaguely listening to the voice inside my head that kept asking me if this was the right thing to do, if running away from Jason, America, everything would make it easier. But the simple fact was that everywhere I looked there were reminders of Jason; a movie poster, an advertisement, a happy couple. Everything just made trying to push him from the front of my mind that much harder. I picked up my bags and started walking towards the gate.
JASON'S POV:
If I had ever hated being famous, it was now. Every second there was someone new who recognized me and wanted an autograph, a picture, or just a 'quick chat', I was 30 seconds away from decking someone when I managed to get to the check-in counter.
"Hi , I'm sorry but this is urgent, I need to know what plane Emma Drayton is on?"
"I'm sorry sir that but that information is private and- wait a moment aren't you JD?"
Oh Christ.
"Yes I am, now could you please tell me her flight number?" She looked nervously at her counterpart at the next counter.
"Well, normally we can't but if you just let me call the manager-"
"I don't have time! If you could just tell me-" Just then the loud speaker interrupted me.
'Final Boarding Call for flight DJ138 to Sydney, please proceed to gate 34 immediately."
I didn't wait another second, I sprinted away from the confused desk clerk and headed for gate 34, my heart pounding in my chest.
EMMA'S POV:
I stood at the boarding gate, taking one last look at the people around me before I turned back to the desk and presented them with my ticket. At that moment I could have sworn I heard someone call my name, I turned around, only to see a very flustered Jason storming his way through the crowd towards me.
JASON'S POV:
I had made it! The level of panic I felt when I thought I might not make it, was only paramount to my joy in realizing I hadn't. When I called her name and she turned around, her face a mask of shock, I stopped in front of her, my chest heaving as I took in deep breaths.
Before I could reach for her or even speak, her voice cut into me, sharp as a razor blade.
"What are you doing here Jason?" I reached for her and wrapped my hands around her arms as I pleaded with her.
"You can't leave Emma, please don't go."
EMMA'S POV:
I stared at him, here he was; the man who had shattered my heart into a thousand pieces, had come to try to stop me from leaving the country, I felt my heart swell the tiniest amount in hope, even though I knew it was pointless.
I took a step back from his embrace and crossed my arms over my chest.
"What are you doing here Jason?" I repeated, as I looked away from him.
I stood there with my arms crossed and hip cocked defensively, determined to hide how badly I wanted to throw myself into his arms and pretend that the whole thing had never happened.
"Emma don't do this." I snorted at that.
"Why shouldn't I? You haven't exactly given me a reason to stay." I looked away again as the memories of him in bed with Annabelle ran through my mind.
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.
"Emma I don't know how many times I can say it; I didn't sleep with Annabelle. I've never even wanted to."
"Then why was she in your bed? And why were you naked?"
"I told you, that night she had come over to my house to talk to me about something, I fixed us both drinks and she must have slipped something into mine when I wasn't looking because it was barely a minute after that , when I started to fade out." His eyes pleaded with me to believe him as he took another step forward and wrapped his arms around my waist as he rested his forehead against mine, his arms tightening slightly when I tried to pull away.
"Emma listen to me; I don't want Annabelle. I want the amazing girl standing in front of me, the one who makes me smile just by being with me, the girl who let me go so I could pursue my dreams, the girl who makes my heart race, and the whole world seem unimportant compared to how desperately I need to have her in arms, how desperately I need to feel her heartbeat, and how desperately I just need to have her in my life." His voice dropped to a whisper as I felt the tears begin to form. "And the only girl I have ever met who made me feel like that is you."
I lifted my gaze as he pulled me even tighter to him, I wanted to believe him so badly at that point but I had to know;
"What about the e-mails? The letters? The rumors?"
"That was Mack, all Mack, he screwed everything up, he tried to keep us apart because he thought us being together would ruin my career."
I pulled from his arms; oh God, the movie.
"Emma?" His voice was soft as I turned from him. I kept my back to him as I spoke;
"Jason, Mack tried to split us up for a reason, what if I am holding you back from your career? What if I screw everything up and ruin things for you?" My voice was moments away from trembling, the emotions inside of me fighting for dominance.
"That's not possible." He turned me back around to face him, his voice firm as he gripped my arms. "You are more important to me than a stupid movie deal, or anything else that comes along. Don't you get it? You are the one thing that makes being me bearable, when I doubted myself in the beginning or when I was afraid to take a chance, it was the thought of you that made me want to better myself, the thought that made me try just that little bit harder, you are the whole reason I became what I am. The whole world knows me as JD; Movie Star, but none of them know that I'm also Jason Donowitz.
And no matter who I am that person belongs to you. I'm yours Emma, and no-one else's."
It all sounded so perfect, and for a brief moment I closed my eyes and saw myself as a part of his world; movie premieres, autographs, paparazzi, talk shows the whole nine yards and as much as I wanted to believe it would work I couldn't shake the doubts that still plagued me.
"But what about-"
"Emma?" Jason stopped me.
"What?"
"I love you."
My heart swelled and tears leaked from my eyes as I slipped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips softly against his. His arms pulled me even closer to him as he kissed me back, his lips moving gently against mine.
When I finally pulled back I smiled against his lips, and whispered the words that I had been denying for 5 years;
"I love you too."
But I'm thinking of doing an epilogue though I'm not sure , if i get 20 comments I'll do one.
Luv you!
