The Song of Darkness

The Charmings

EMMA SWAN

I fucking hate her! She knows what she did! She ruined the lives of everyone here and somehow that isn't enough for her. I'm breaking this curse if it is the last thing I do. I go to my apartment and sit down with Mary Margaret. And Hook. God I'm so fucking tired of him.

"Ooo Emma who's this?" Ugh!

"No one. How are things with you and David?" Its so weird talking about this stuff with my Mom. She thinks we're just friends.

"There's nothing. He's married."

"So?" I need to break David and Abigail apart and get my parents back together.

"Emma so he's married... we can't do anything."

"But he doesn't love her. He loves you. Its not right to let him stay in an unhappy marriage." She looks like she's thinking it over but shakes her head.

"No its wrong." Looks like I'll have to convince David to leave Abigail. I get up.

"You're right it is." I fake and walk out with Hook behind me.

I hear him jogging to catch up. "Your mother seems to think there's something between us." I can hear the smirk in his voice.

"The only thing between us is an invisible brick wall."

"We could fake a relationship. For operation cobra."

I gag. "Why the hell would that be necessary?"

"Because couples are closer to couples. We could become friends with them and I'll convince David to leave his wife."

He has a point. God fucking damn it! "I don't think so." He gets in close.

"We both know I'm right."

I could throw up. "Fine. But don't touch me or kiss me or anything."

"Then we won't be a very convincing couple."

"I don't like physical affection."

"How about minimal touching and no kissing?"

Ugh. "Fine."

"You're friends with David right?"

"I wouldn't say we're close or anything."

"Close enough to go on a double date?"

I have no clue. I've met him and Katherine. That's not really friends. I could ask. "Maybe."

"You ask him. I'll plan our date." He winks at me.

Ew. That time i actually threw up in my mouth. "None of that."

"Whatever you say love." He walks away. I kick a car. I hate him so much. My life has gone to absolute shit. I just want my son and parents. I go to the animal shelter where David works.

"Oh hey Emma." I go lean on the counter.

"Hey, would you wanna go on a date with me and my...boyfriend." He smiles. Thats a good sign.

"Yeah sure, when?"

"Not sure yet, I'll text you the details."

"Ok." I start walking out. "Wait, how's Mary-Margret?" I knew it.

"She's alright. She's pretty heartbroken." He looks sad.

"I keep trying to call her but she never answers." I smile to myself. This is gonna be easy.

"I'll let her know."

"Thank you." I leave. Hooks already by my car.

"How the hell did you find me?"

"You drive a bright yellow machine, its not that hard." I roll my eyes and get in. He gets in beside me.

"So did it work?"

"Yup. We're going on a date."
