Canon is The Following

Do you even know what you're doing here? I don't have time for zombies, or space stations or any of these silly games you're fond of.

I need to be there for Joe, and for Joey. There are things that must be done, and you and this factor into none of that.

[ oh my god emma hi. it's not like he's still...hurt. Or anything. nope. ]

Have to follow through with the plan, right? [ And now he's forcing a swallow, attempting to school his expression, set his jaw, and failing. ] No matter what.

[ex_queenliest36]

[Nope. This isn't bad. Not at all. Naw.]

Don't... don't look at me like that.

Roderick called. The plan changed and I had to get Joey out of there. We couldn't let them have him. There was no way for us all to get out and Joey had to be protected.

You left us, Emma. Paul was dying and you just left us with Ryan Hardy.

[ He has his timeline messed up, but who really cares. He's a little frazzled right now. ]

You could have told us, we would have figured something out.

[ex_queenliest36]

I didn't know that! Paul... You were both fine when I got the call and went to get Joey.

[Not that it made it better. He wouldn't have been stabbed if she'd taken them with her.]

Would you have let me go with Joey alone? [Or, the question she isn't sure she should ask.] Would you have left him there if I said we had to go?

[couldntdoit]

But you could have told us. Instead you left us alone with Hardy, with the police surrounding us. What did you expect to happen?

[ He's hurt, more than anything. He trusted you, loved you, and you left him to die in that house. ]

I- I don't know. At least we would have known what was going on, would have been prepared to- [ But then he stops, because that's the real question, isn't it? He frowns. ] If we knew what was going on he probably wouldn't have gotten stabbed in the first place. [ Yes, Jacob. Avoid the question. ]

[ex_queenliest36]

I didn't think through that far. All I knew was Roderick had arranged a way for Joey to get out and I had to take it.

[Her tones were earnest, knowing he was hurt but not sure she could make it better. Not even sure how to make it better.]

You can't second guess that, Jacob. We all knew going into this how it could turn out.
