Sheriff Swan

Chapter 21

Emma told Mary and Red everything but left out the 'off the charts' depression part. She didn't want them to worry about her even more.

"That's terrible Emma." Mary said grabbing Emma's hand and giving it a squeeze.

"I'm fine, really." Emma said trying to stop the girls for feeling sorry for her.

"Do you need any help?" Mary said concerned.

Emma hated help. She could do everything on her own, even if she really couldn't. She hated help so much.

"No! I don't need any help." Emma said angrily.

"Okay, okay." Red said.

"Sorry." Emma said looking down at her arms.

"Emma it's already 8:09, we are going to get going." Mary said standing up from the couch with Red.

"Ok." Emma said also standing up from the couch.

The girls hugged and said goodbye. Mary and Red walked out of the apartment and Emma shut the door behind them.

Emma walked into the bathroom and cleaned her cuts up and bandaged her arms back up. She then got her pajamas on and fell into her bed. She set her alarm and then fell asleep.

-----

Emma woke up to her alarm. She got out of bed and walked straight to the bathroom. She cleaned her cuts and bandaged them up again. She walked over to her closet and picked out gray tanktop and a pair of jeans. She got dressed and then brushed her hair. She put it up in a bun and then brushed her teeth. She then walked into the kitchen and checked the time. The clock read 7:26am. She pulled out a yogurt from the fridge and ate it. She threw the cup in the trash then pulled her phone out. She started texting Killian.

Emma - Hey, I'm going to come in like usual now. I'm going to be leaving the same time I did yesterday, everyday. Also, I can't bring the coffees today. Can you bring them?

Killian - Ya, I can bring the coffees. Why are you leaving at like 3:15 everyday? What's going on Emma?

Emma - Nothing, just something I have to do. Don't worry about it.

Killian - Emma. What's going on?!

Emma didn't text Killian back she just put her phone away and looked at the clock. It read 7:47am. Emma grabbed her keys and her red leather jacket and walked of the apartment. She walked to her bug and got in. She drove to the station. When she got there she parked her car and walked into the station. She saw Killian at his desk with a coffee. She looked over to her desk and saw a coffee on it. She started walking over to her desk when she was stopped by Killian's voice.

"Emma, can you please tell me what's going on?"

"It's nothing." Emma said waving her hand trying to shoo the subject away.

Emma started walking to her desk when Killian's hand grabbed her arm. Emma looked at Killian with anger in her eyes.

"Emma! What's going on?!" Killian said sternly.

"Nothing! Get your hands off me!" Emma said trying to pull her arm away but failed.

"Emma!" Killian yelled.

"Killian, stop worrying about me!" Emma screamed.

"Emma, I'm never going to stop worrying about you!" Killian said.

"Killian! Stop!" Emma yelled and finally got her arm back from Killian.

She stormed over to her desk and sat down and started working.
