Ariel pushed her tears back and made her way down the street. She had tried to talk to Jefferson and it ended...well bad was an understatement. Ariel grabbed her phone and dialed Else she waited for her to pick up.
Subconsciously making her way towards Else's house.

Else was just about to leave when her phone rang. The number was Ariel's.
She winced. Either Ariel was calling to tell her that she was now a mermaid flopping on the side of the road because she and Jeff were in love after all... or things had gone HORRIBLY WRONG. She picked up the phone.
"Ariel? Hon?"

"I..Else I talked to Jefferson..." Ariel wasn't sure how to go about telling Else that her talk with him went terrible.
"He hates me I think.." Ariel admitted, choking back tears.

Else was stunned.
"That's... that IMPOSSIBLE, Ariel... he cares for you so much." She closed her mouth. Or at least, it APPEARED that he did. "Where are you right now? DID HE MAKE YOU WALK HOME???"
"I'm coming to get you. Just tell me where you are." Someone needed to smack some common sense into that man...

"I am actually close to your house. He didn't make me walk home I left after he screamed at me. Then I screamed back. He called me selfish...am I selfish? I never want to be..." Ariel trialed now she was upset and held back tears.
"Oh I am on main street, near the pawn shop." Ariel told her.

Ariel sat and waited for Else she was her one true friend in this town. Ariel was happy to have met someone like her. She still wasn't sure how to cope with everything that had happened.
Part of her wanted to Kill Hook and end her love for him in one last blow. Ariel knew that wasn't possible, she couldn't kill anyone let alone him. If she was honest she expected Jefferson to react badly but not as bad as he did. Trying to kill himself, Ariel knew that wasn't just because of her he had to have had other issues. He had been though so much it wasn't fair of her to put him though more, she hated herself for it.

Else pulled up and unlocked the doors to her new minivan. She greeted Ariel with a weak smile.
"What HAPPENED???" She asked, putting a hand on the mermaid's shoulder. She kept the van in 'park' for a moment...

Ariel looked up at Else, "Well Jefferson wasn't happy with the idea. I told him I would let him go. I didn't want to put him though this... I mean if I didn't change into a mermaid he might always think I was still in love with Hook. How well would that go over and if not he lose me either way."
Ariel didn't want to talk about this she began to get upset, but Else could know.
"So then he told me I was selfish and I would rather be a pirates whore then with him." Ariel took a breath this was painful to admit.

Even though she felt for her friend, Else could see where Jefferson was coming from. She wanted to shake Ariel and MAKE HER REALIZE that the only one keeping her attached to Hook was herself... but no one can choose who they love.
But then Ariel told her what Jefferson had said, EXACTLY, and that made the once-queen's blood boil.
"That... selfish... MANIPULATIVE...." Else looked Ariel dead in the eye. "Is this Jefferson REALLY worth this heartache? I have to know... if he isn't, then I say GOOD RIDDANCE. But if you feel the possibility of him is WORTH exploring..." Then Else was about to do something rash. "... Then you need to FIGHT for it. Tell me Ariel: Is Jefferson worth it?"

Ariel thought about it, she didn't know Jefferson as well as Hook but did she love him. Ariel wasn't sure it was to soon but it hurt really bad when he rejected her. More so then Hook because she expected it from him and not Jefferson.
"I thought he was, now I am not so sure. It hurt so bad when he said those things and if worse because I know deep down he is right. I am scared to be a mermaid again and loving Hook its probably easier I guess. I have honestly never been more confused. If Jefferson had said it didn't matter I would have tried my best to forget Killian but now he doesn't care, he thinks the worst and I have no idea what to do about that." Ariel sighed.
Deep down she wanted to run back to Hook and that was a really bad sign. If she could kill him then she would be free but Ariel knew that wasn't possible.

Else cut the ignition and looked Ariel dead in the aqua eyes. "ARIEL... this is NOT about who you love. Take Hook, take JEFFERSON, OUT of the mix, because right now you have bigger problems to worry about... YOU'RE HAPPINESS." She stressed that last part. "I'm not asking how THEY feel or IF they felt a certain way what would you do... I'm askin you WHAT DO YOU WANT. WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY." She wasn't yelling, but she was firm, trying to get through to her friend.
"You have one man who has told you, again and again, that he can't give you what you want in return. You have another man who wants to move forward but is seriously discouraged by the circumstances... and rather piss poor at conveying that... What will make YOU happy? Because 'it's enough' and 'what if' WILL NOT bring you any happiness... believe me. I KNOW."
"What do you want, Ariel... and don't give up and say 'I don't know'... because you're stronger then that! Gods, you gave up everything you knew just to make a dream POSSIBLE..." She awaited Ariel's answer.

Ariel looked at Else she was right, what did she want. Ariel knew for once she had it figured out.
"I want to be happy, just being myself making my own choices living my own life. I want to sing, stay here be human. I don't want to be a mermaid again not here not ever. I want the life I made here, then if I find someone who I can share that with then that's fine. If its not Jefferson then I guess that's okay to."
"I can do this on my own its about time, I tried at any rate. Maybe love is just a complication I don't need. Especially right now because I can't with out a bunch of problems I just as soon avoid right now." Ariel told her she actually felt better then she had in a long time.
"Is it possible to love Hook just to stay human, I feel like that would be enough. I want to be here to see you have your baby Else. If that means my heart is forever locked then maybe it will be enough to know that gives me what I want more then anything to stay human." Ariel admitted shocked slightly at the words coming out of her mouth.
Ariel wondered if that made her selfish maybe she wasn't sure what to do but if she didn't drag anyone else down with her. Well then how could that possibly be selfish?

Else felt for her friend... she wanted Ariel to be happy in ALL respects of her life, including love... but perhaps that would just take some time. The point was, ARIEL was feeling empowered, for HERSELF; not anyone else.
"Yes... then let's focus on getting HAPPY, Ariel." She smiled, it stuck to her face and turned slightly frightening as she added: "And do you know what would really make ME happy? Telling that little creep JEFFERSON off for being such an ass! Let's go!" Else started the car and peeled out of the parking spot before Ariel could react. Perhaps it was the hormones... but the mother to be couldn't shake this nagging feeling to let the Hatter have it. Ariel deserved better then to be torn in two like that, when she was APPEALING to him for support...
"Asshole." Else muttered under her breath. "Tell me EXACTLY how the conversation went down..."

Wow, Else could be scary when she wanted to be. Ariel wasn't sure what she should tell Else she guessed everything.
"Well at first Jefferson seemed upset and he walked for a really long time. I followed him then... Else, he tried to kill himself, which I really don't think had fully to do with me. I ran into him knocking his damn gun from his hand and we fell to the ground. Where I screamed at him, because how could he do that to Grace?"
Ariel stopped for a moment closing her eyes and swallowed.
"Then he said, I was selfish well actually he called me a selfish siren, I tried to explain that I just wanted whatever was best for him. If he wished to stay even though he might lose me to the sea then I would stay. We talked for a bit about that, I told him Grace would be lost with out him. He seemed to think if Grace found out we didn't work out it would shatter her world all because I would rather be a pirate sex toy!" Ariel said the last part with bitterness, she was still mad about it.
"So then I told him I couldn't do this... it wasn't fair to him. He took it so badly." Ariel finished well Else did say she wanted to know everything.
