Sheriff Swan

Chapter 15

Emma looks over at the clock in her room and it reads 5:49pm. She has been crying all day and she hasn't eaten anything. She walks into the kitchen and looks at the knives in the knife block. She looks at them for a long time. She then nods her head and forgets the stupid thought. She walks back into her room and falls asleep.

Emma wakes up and looks over at her clock. It reads 1:48am. She gets up from her bed and walks to the door. She grabs her coat and walks out of her apartment. When she gets outside she quickly throws her coat on and stuffs her hands in her pockets. She walks to the docks. When she gets there she walks over to the bloody planks of wood in the docks and stops. She sits down and leans against Graham's car, which was still parked there. Tears fall down her face as she looks at the place where her Graham died. A little while passes and she gets up. She walks to the beach and sits down in the sand. She watches the waves roll into shore. She calms herself down and breaths.

"Swan." someone says behind her.

Emma turns around and sees Killian standing there.

"May I take a seat?" Killian asks.

Emma just turns around and looks back at the ocean. Killian sits down next to her and watches the ocean as well.

"Are you ok?" Killian asks quietly.

"No." Emma says as a tear rolls down her face, keeping her gaze on the ocean.

Killian sighs and looks down.

"I'm sorry, love. I'm sorry that had to happen to you." Killian said about to cry.

Emma looked over at him and gave him a look of concern.

"Killian, are you all right?" Emma said.

"Ya, I'm fine." Killian said running his hands in the sand.

"Killian, what's wrong. Me in my situation...It's like...It triggered something in you." Emma said trying to get the words out.

Killian sighed then began with, "Well, I had a girlfriend named Milah. I loved her with all my heart. Then one day she was at the bank and...She...She..." Tears were falling down Killian's face now. Emma placed her hand on his shoulder. "Sorry. She was at the bank and she... Got shot. There was a robbery and she was one of the people who got shot."

"Oh, my. Killian I'm so sorry." Emma said.

"It's fine. It's been 4 years." Killian said wiping his tears away. "I'm going to head home. It somewhere around 4:00am."

"Bye, Killian." Emma said waving to him.

Killian walked away and when Emma couldn't see him anymore she got up from the sand and started walking home herself. When she got home she looked at the clock and it read 4:43am. She walked into her bedroom and fell asleep.

Emma woke up and looked over at her clock. It read 7:10am. She didn't get out of bed. She stayed there staring at the ceiling.

Finally she got out of bed and started walking into the bathroom. She stopped in her tracks and looked at the ground. Tears started flooding down her face. She picks up one of Graham's boots, that he left, and throws it across the room.

"Why! Why, did you have to go!" Emma screamed as tears kept flooding down her face. She picks up the other boot and is about to throw it when she stops herself. She looks at the boot and starts pulling the shoelace off. She ties it around her wrists and cries as she holds on to all she has left of Graham.
