He didn't even bother getting up quietly. He got dressed and as he was in the bathroom, Emma woke up.

"Killian what are you doing?" She asked rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.

"Liam, h-he's hurt or worse, I don't know but I have to see him!" Killian yelled running around.

Emma got out of bed and got dressed in 30 seconds. "I'm coming with you."

"Emma, love you need to sleep."

"You aren't changing my mind. He was my friend."

He nodded and ran out the door. Emma ran after him and jumped in the passenger side of his car. He started it and they were off to the hospital.

"Do you know what happened?" Emma asked breaking the silence.

"No." Killian gripped the steering wheel so tight, that his knuckles turned white.

Emma looked back at the road until they got to the hospital. When they got to the parking lot, he parked abruptly and got out of the car and ran to the ER doors. He didn't care about Emma, and she didn't mind. It was Liam who was the center of attention at the moment. She ran after him and when she got in there, he was at the reception desk.

"Liam Jones." Killian said.

The woman typed on her computer. "I'm sorry sir, but only family is allowed in."

"I am his brother!"

"And what is she?" The woman asked pointing to Emma with her pen.

"I'm uh-" Emma began.

"She's family too. Where is he?"

"Room 305."

Killian nodded and grabbed Emma's hand and drug her to the room. He opened the door and their mother was sitting down beside Liam who was connected to too many wires and tubes.

"Emma this is my mom Charolette." Killian said running to Liam's side. He grabbed Liam's hand. "What happened?"

"The doctors said that he was driving home from somewhere. Somebody found him on the side of the road. He has two broken ribs, and a bunch of other injuries that have long names that I can't remember. He was rushed into surgery. That's all I was told." Charlotte said with tears running down her face.

Killian nodded. Tears were pooling in his eyes too. Emma stepped out of the room, but neither of them seemed to notice. She went to the cafeteria and got a donut. She sat down and pulled out her phone. She swiped through the pictures when she got a direct message from Milah. Again.

It was a blank picture, but then she scrolled down and it appeared that Milah wrote a story.

'The police come to my door talking about a break in at your place. I know where you live, and that break in wouldn't have happened unless you would have let him go and gave him to me. I'm not finished.'

Emma rolled her eyes and typed back.

'When is it ever?'

She took a drink of her hot chocolate with cinnamon and looked back down at her phone. Then another person joined her at the table. She looked up and saw Killian sitting there.

"Why'd you leave love?" He asked.

Emma shrugged her shoulders. "He's your brother, and your mom's son. I was only his friend. You guys are family." She stood up and threw the stuff away in the nearby garbage can. "I'm gonna call a cab and go to school."

Killian grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "He needs you here. I need you here."

"Killian, I'll be back after school. You'll be fine, no matter what happens." She kissed his forehead than left the hospital.

Killian went back to Liam's room and saw him awake. "Liam! You're okay!"

"Yea I guess so." He said quietly.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure. The last thing I remembered was driving, and now I'm here."

"Well it doesn't matter. The important thing is, is that your alive and okay." Killian hugged Liam and backed away. "Is there anything you need? Or want?"

Liam nodded his head. "Water?"

Killian ran out of the room and got him a cup of water. When he came back, he peaked in the glass doors, and saw a dark haired girl kissing Liam, and he was kissing back. Killian ducked around a corner and out of sight. Five seconds later, the girl walked out, and it was Milah. His jaw dropped to the floor, but quickly put on a straight face and walked back in Liam's room.

"So Liam, any girls in your life?" Killian asked causally. He was going to get some kind of answer.

"No."

"Then who was the girl who left your room?" He already knew, but he wanted to hear his brother say it.

"Fine!" Liam threw his hands up slowly in defeat. "Her name is Milah."

Killian nodded his head. Liam still didn't know that Milah was trying to pursue him. "I'm going to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." He went to the bathroom and pulled out his phone and called Emma.

"How is Liam?" Emma asked.

"Fine, but where is Milah love?" Killian said.

"She isn't here. Why?"

"Well either she is pretending to like me to see you suffer, or she is faking to like my brother."

"W-what?" Emma asked in disbelief.

"I just saw Liam and Milah making out."

The line was silent.

"Swan?" He asked.

"She better have an explanation."

"No, we can't have her know that we are on to her."

Emma sighed. "Fine. I have to go."

"Ok love, bye."

Emma hung up and Killian went back to the room. He sat down thinking of the possibilities why Milah was making Emma upset. Was she really that bad of a person? Killian looked over at Liam, and the beeping on the monitors quickened, until there wasn't a beeping anymore. The screen didn't show an up and down line, but a flat one.

"No no no no no. Liam no! Help! Someone help!" He yelled.

Nurses ran in and pushed Killian out. He watched through the glass windows until one of the nurses pulled them shut. He stood there until everyone who ran in walked out with sad expressions on their faces. Killian ran in, and everything was shut off, and a sheet was drew over his body.

Liam was dead.
