Street Lights

Broken Trust

~ Emma ~

Elizabeth and I headed back to the bar. Elizabeth ran up to Liam and jumped into his arms. He laughed and smiled at her, "Did you have fun?". She nodded, "Emma is amazing!". He chuckled, "Really?". Elizabeth laughed, "Yeah, and she's my maid of honour". His eyes widened, "Really?". I nodded, "If your ok with it too". He nodded, "Of course! Thank you for doing this for us". Liam and Elizabeth left and I turned to Walsh. "Hey" I said as he approached me. Walsh walked up to me and kissed me. "Hey" he said as he pulled away. "Come here for a sec" he said pulling me towards the washrooms. We stopped in the hallway in front of the washrooms. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked angry and nervous.

"You don't need to be her maid of honour" he said smiling a little. I nodded, "I know...and you're right, I don't have to, I want to". He shrugged, "But why?". Now I was a bit confused. "Are you angry about this?" I asked annoyed. He shook his head, "No! I just...whatever". Then he walked away. "Walsh!" I called out but he kept walking. "Ugh!" I yelled and slammed my hand against the wall.

"Don't hurt yourself, love"

I spun around to see Killian standing there with a sympathetic look on his face. I sighed, "Sorry". He shook his head, "Don't apologize". "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be making drinks?" I asked. He chuckled, "Well, I saw Walsh leave here looking really angry...I figured I'd come see how you are doing". I sighed, "He's angry about something...I think it's about the wedding but I don't know why, he won't talk to me!". He stayed silent. I looked up at him fast, "Wait! Did he say anything to you about this?". I could see he was hesitating. "Please tell me!" I begged. He sighed, "He's made because he thinks I am using this wedding to make you get close to me and my family...he's jealous".

My jaw dropped, "What?! Seriously?! He's jealous?!". "Can you blame him? Your quite gorgeous, love" he said chuckling. I smiled but then sighed in frustration, "But that's ridiculous!". He shrugged, "What are you going to do?". I groaned, "Yell at him? I don't know!". I laughed, "I wouldn't yell at him, it'll only make him angrier". I nodded, "I don't know...I'll just talk to him". He nodded, "See? That's a better plan!". I smiled, "Thank you!". I walked over to him and hugged him. "Thanks" I said as we pulled away. He smiled, "No problem". Then he turned and walked away.

I took a deep breath. I'll talk to Walsh after work. Right now, I had a job to do. I walked back out and got to work.

Walsh and I walked home. We were sitting on the couch watching TV and I started thinking about what Killian told me. I sighed and looked at him, "Nothing is going on with me and Killian, you know that right?". He kept his gaze on the TV, "I know". I sighed in annoyance, "Why are you jealous?". He finally turned to me. "Because he likes you!" He yelled. I laughed in anger, "You don't trust me?...really? I did nothing to make you doubt me!". He shook his head, "Can you blame me?!...you can't even deny that he likes you because you know it's true!". He stood up, "You're right! I don't trust you!...your just an orphan and you always will be!". He turned and left, slamming the door behind him.

I sat there and let tears fall. I couldn't believe what just happened.

~ Walsh ~

I went back to the bar. I didn't have to work, I just figured I'd go have a drink. Even if I had to risk seeing Killian. I entered the bar and walked up to the bar, I ordered a drink. Killian watched me as he made it. "Stop staring" I scolded. He sighed, "Shouldn't you be with Emma?". "Stop worrying about her!" I yelled and snatched the drink from his hand. He sighed, "Fine". Then he went to serve another customer. I sighed and drank my drink. I finished it and slammed the glass on the counter. I got up and walked over to the washroom. I was about to open the washroom door when...

"That's the ladies room"

I turned to see a dark haired girl smiling at me. I grinned, "You worried about me, beautiful?". She laughed and stepped closer, "Perhaps". I stepped closer and our faces were inches apart.

"You busy?" She asked. I shook my head, "Nope". She smiled and leaned in. Before I knew it we were kissing. She jumped up and wrapped her legs around me. I laughed and we kept kissing. I used her to push the washroom door open and set her down on the sink. I stopped and yanked her shirt off. She pulled off mine. Then things continued getting heated.

I walked into the bar and went to Killian. "Have you seen or heard from Walsh?" I asked. He nodded, "He went to the washroom...I'll come with you". He followed me to the washrooms. I stopped and turned to him, "Can you check the men's room?". He nodded but suddenly I heard Walsh.

I grabbed Killian's arm and pointed to the ladies room. "I swear I heard Walsh" I whispered. He chuckled, "Why would he be in the ladies room?". I shrugged, "I'm going to check just in case". He followed me and I opened the door.

I saw Walsh kissing a shirtless girl, he was shirtless as well. I gasped and Walsh looked up. Killian grabbed my arm and spun me around, pulling my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. "Don't look" he whispered.

I turned around to face Walsh. Walsh got up and walked over to me, he reached out for me but Killian slapped his hand away. "Screw off!" He yelled to Killian. I shook my head, "Just go!". He looked at me, "Emma, please-". I shook my head as tears fell, "Go away! Now!". He grinned, "I told you, you'll always be an orphan!". Then just like that, he left.

I turned back to Killian. I didn't know what to say, I was stunned. Killian sighed and pulled me in for a hug. I wrapped my arms around him as tears fell.

"Why?" I asked, more towards me than him. "What do you mean?" He asked. I pulled away, "Why does everyone leave me? Why will I always be an orphan?".

Killian sighed, "Emma, anyone stupid enough to leave you doesn't realize what they have...but you will find a family, I know you will". I smiled, "I hope they come sooner than later".

"Why don't you go home and sleep" he suggested. I shook my head, "There's someone I have to go see first". I walked past him but stopped and turned to him, "Relax, I'm not going to Walsh," I looked down at the floor "I'm done with him". Then I continued walking.
