There Is No Time In London, Swan

Chapter 9

Emma's POV

I walk downstairs for dinner and see my mom and dad already at the table.
"Hey guys. Is something wrong?"
"No, we just wanted to talk to you about something." Says Dad.
"Ok..."
"So it looks like your dad is going to take a case, but it's in California so that means him and I would be gone for a couple days, will you be ok by yourself?" Says mom
"Yeah don't worry, I will be at school most of the time anyways." I say with a smile.
"Ok great we leave in the morning."
I finish my dinner and head back upstairs then I text Killian.

Hey so my parents are going out of town for a couple days. We should hang out ~ Emma

Yeah! After school tomorrow? ~ Killian

Sounds good! ~ Emma

I put down my phone and do some last minute homework then I go back downstairs and say goodbye to my parents, their flight is super early tomorrow so I won't say goodby in the morning.

"Beep beep beep" says my alarm. I swear I want to throw that thing across the room and beat it with a hammer. I get out of bed and get dressed then I head downstairs and I grab some quick breakfast: an energy bar and a bottle of water. I grab my backpack and head outside. I get in the car and drive to school. I go to English first like always and sit next to Killian.
"Hey." I say with a smile
"Hi."
"So I was thinking about inviting Lacey over tonight too." I suggest
"Oh that sounds fun."
"Ok great."

I get through my day and then I see Lacey in the hallway. "Hey, do you wanna come over tonight, Killian is gonna be there." I say with a smile.
"Ok sure."

The day passes by quickly and then I ride on the bus home. When I get there I grab a "Nutty Bar" from the pantry and plant myself on the couch, in front of the TV, then I hear a knock at the door. I open it and see Killian. He wheels in and we exchange random pleasantries then he suggests we go to the living room. I help him get comfortable on the couch then he wraps his arm around my back and pushes me in for a kiss. We make out for a couple minutes then the doorbell rings. I get up and open it, it's Lacey.
"Hey." She says
"Hey." I say. We walk into the living room.
"Sooo what do you guys wanna do?" Asks Killian.
"We could play a game or something." I suggest as I open the coffee table lid to reveal a bunch of board games.
"Ok sure, what about life?" Asks Lacey
"Ok." Says Killian.

We get about halfway through the game then Lacey says "Em, can I see you in the other room for a second?"
"Ok, sure, we will be right back Killian."
We walk around the corner to a spare closet and Lacey pulls me inside.
"I feel like I should go." She says
"Why?" I ask
"Because I am feeling like a third wheel. I keep seeing you guys make eyes at each other."
"Oh we do not make eyes." I whisper shout.
"Yes you do, I'll leave and you can make eyes as much as you want."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, positive."
We walk out and we go back to the living room, we play for about 5 minutes then Lacey says "Hey, I'm not feeling too great, I am gonna head home but I will see you guys at school!"
"Ok, bye!" Me and Killian say. She leaves then Killian's phone starts to ring. He answers and it's his mom. He hands me the phone and she says "Hey, Emma! So I am working extremely late tonight and Liam is on a camping trip, can I let Killian sleep over at your place tonight?"
"Yes of course." I say
"Can I also trust that y'all will sleep in separate rooms?"
"Yes of course, you have nothing to worry about."
"Ok great!" She says before hanging up.
"Well it looks like you will be sleeping here tonight!" I say with a smile

"Emma, I love you." He then says out of the blue. The light is dim and the mood is perfect. But for some reason I can't say anything. Come on Emma, you love him, just tell him, you idiot I think to myself.
"Killian Jones." I say
"Yes?" He asks
"I-I love you too." I say it trembling. I am shaking and I think he starts to notice because he looks at me like there is something wrong. He then pulls me in for a kiss and as I release from the kiss, I say "I love you Killian Jones, I love you, I love you, I love you!"

•••

I wake up in a hospital bed. The walls are gray and there is a big tan curtain hanging in front of me. My arm is in a cast and so is my leg with is strung up in a sling tied to the ceiling. I look to my right and see Killian sitting in his wheelchair reading. He wheels to my bedside and starts to cry as he says "Oh my gosh you're awake! I love you! I am so happy you're alive, I thought you were dead, and I was just about ready to join you."
"Why wouldn't I be alive? What am I doing here?" I ask
"We were in a huge car accident. We went out really late and there was a car accident. I am so sorry I couldn't protect you." He's now crying even more. "Look at us. We both look like crap." I say trying to lighten the mood. He just chuckles a bit.

That's when I wake up. I am not in my own bed and Killian is lying next to me. Well I am half next to him and half on top of him. Crap. Well I am fully clothed so that's a good sign. We must have fallen asleep. I remember that last night I gave him this room to sleep in and I went to bed in my room but how did I get here? I sit up and realize it's Saturday, I don't have school today. I yawn a little bit then Killian starts to wake up.
"Good morning beautiful." He says as he stretches.
"Morning... How did I get here last night?" I ask
"Do you not remember? You had a nightmare last night at like 2:00am so you came in here and I laid with you until you fell asleep then I eventually fell asleep too."
"Oh ok. Thanks."
"For what?" He asks
"Comforting me last night." I say with a smile. I then head downstairs and start to make an egg. I flip it over then a pair of hands cover my eyes. I turn around and see Killian. He gives me a peck on the lips then sits down. I serve the eggs and then out of the blue he says "This is nice."
"What is?" I ask
"You, me, seeing each other in the morning, eating breakfast together. This is nice."
