Swanfire: It's Always Been You.

Chapter 5

Emma's POV

We finally had what we needed to get off this horrid island. I couldn't wait until we got Henry back. It's a lot happier because I have Neal by my side. I was wondering why he and Hook were talking so long to get out of the cave. I thought he probably wanted to say goodbye to his old hut. I kept following my parents back to our campsite, when I heard the loudest crunching of leaves. I turned around to see Neal striding towards me looking very angry. He past me and I asked him, "Neal, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?!" he shouted. Then he checked to see that my parents were out of ear range and whisper shouted, "What's wrong?! I just found out that the woman that I love kissed the pirate!" He loves me... Oh my God.. "Neal," I said quietly, touching his arm. He pulled away from me and wouldn't look into my eyes. "Neal," I spoke quietly again, reaching out to touch him. He took my arm and pulled me into a hug. I felt tears fall onto my shoulder as tears were falling down my cheeks. "It didn't mean anything," I whispered into him. "I believe you," he whispered back. I broke our hug and whispered, "You do?" "Oh course I do, Emma. If you say it didn't mean anything to you, than I'll take your word for it," he said making me want to cry more. "Why?" I asked him "Because I love you," he whispered to me and I whispered back, "I love you, too." He smiled at me and took my hands into his looking down at them. He looked into my eyes and took a step towards me. An inch away from my lips, he closed his eyes and I closed mine. I felt his lips on mine. This kiss was passionate and loving.

I haven't this much love towards anyone but Neal. The feeling was gone for ten years. Now that it's back I don't ever want it to leave again. At that moment, I realized how much I was in love with Neal Cassidy. We were still kissing, but we broke apart when we heard giggling. Neal turned around and I looked to see my mother watching us from the bushes. As soon as she realized we saw her watching us, she ran away. Neal turned back to look at me, and we both laughed. He leaned in again and we kissed. Fireworks went off, but they were silent. They only sound I heard was my mother giggling. Neal heard it too, but we ignored it. I was focusing on something more important than my stalking mother right now. I was focusing on the love of my life, Neal Cassidy. I'm happy now.
