We help each other|captain swan

sunday.

Emma POV
I wake up to the sound of Katie screaming. I bolt up. I quickly change and run downstairs. I know I'm supposed to hate her but I can't stand the sound of screaming.
"What happened?!" I say as I make it downstairs.
"I broke my favorite make up pallet," she starts to cry.
"Get a grip," I say disgusted by her attitude. I leave the room and go back upstairs. I see that I have a text from Killian. I open it.

Killian// I was wondering if you wanted to hang out today. I want to take you somewhere I know you'll like. (Wear sneakers) meet me outside in ten minutes.

I smile. I change into shorts a long sleeve t-shirt and sneakers, as requested. I send a quick text to Lucy.

Emma// I was wondering if I could go and hang out with my friend today.

Lucy// Sure! Have fun!

She is the most easy going person on earth. I grab my little bag and head out the door. I run past Katie's room. She runs after me.
"Emma I'm pretty sure those are my shorts," she says. Crap she's right they must have been switched in the wash. I don't have time to change I have to go. I just run. She somehow catches up, crap. She grabs my arm, she pins me down. No. No. I can't be helpless. I have to be able to move. I start to scream. Horrible memories come back. Katie swings her hand and slaps me. I start to sob, not because of the hit but because she's not the first person to do this to me.
"Help me! Why are you doing this?!" I scream, tears flowing way to fast.
"I want my shorts back!" she yells. Why does she care about stupid shorts? As I'm thinking tears continue to run down my face. I come back to reality. I'm trapped. I start to scream again. Every time I scream I get slapped. I hear my phone ping what sounds like a thousand times. I scream again, I scream as loud as I can.
"Help!" I scream, sobbing once again. All of the sudden I hear the door open. Killian crashes in.
"Emma!" He runs over and pushes Katie off me. He grabs my arm and pulls me out the door. Once we are outside, I try to stop. He grabs my arm.
"We can stop when we're in the car. Let's go!" He says pulling me towards the car. Killian sits me down and buckles me. I'm to shocked by the whole moment to move. He shuts my door and heads over to his. Tears are still coming down my face and I can't stop them. My face starts to burn.
"K-" I start but I'm instantly cut off.
"You never hit someone. If I ever see Katie again it'll be to soon," he says not taking his eyes off the road. He pulls over. "Does you face hurt?" He says touching it gently.
"I-" I start again, yet I'm cut off again.
"We can go to my special place after school tomorrow. I'm gonna take you home and fix you up ok?" He says. I nod.

Killian POV
I walk up to Emma's house. I plan to take her somewhere very special. As I get closer to the houses hear a faint screaming. It gets louder when I get closer. It's Emma. I text her a million times. 'Are you ok?' 'What's wrong?' She is screaming for help. Once I hear her call for help I burst in. I ran inside there house to see Emma pinned down and getting smacked by Katie. I should snack Katie back but I can't. Watching Emma get hurt was something I never want to see again. I decide to take Emma to my special place tomorrow I want her to be happy when I take her. I tell her we are going to my house. Once we get inside Emma hits some sort of mute. She doesn't talk or make eye contact.
"Emma. Are you ok?" I ask. She doesn't say anything. "Emma?" I say trying to see her face.
"I need to go home," she says finally. I'm confused and a little hurt.
"I deserve to be hit. I-I just," she pauses,"I can't be pinned down like that." She say her head still down. After finishing she takes a deep breath.
"No one deserves to be hit," I say a little angry. How could she think being hit was a necessary thing.
"I want to go home," she say.
"I can't let you go home. You'll get hurt," I say practically begging her to stay.
"I want to, I'll stay in my room and I promise I'll text you if I need your help," she says. I can't believe she wants to go back. I could never go back.
"I-I'll have my phone on," I say. She turns to leave. I grab her arm.
     "Please don't go back. We can watch a movie or play a board game. Please just wait until your mom gets home," I say begging her to stay.
     "I don't have a mom. She left me years ago," Crap I said mom. That's not what I meant.
     "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say it like that," I say.
     "I want to go home," she says again.
     "Please Emma. Don't I'll do anything. We don't have to stay here we can go anywhere you want," this is my last chance. I take a deep breath. "Emma even though we just met I feel very close to you. I takes me awhile to open up to someone and I feel like you make that easier. I care about you and I can't stand to know that you could be getting hurt. I'm begging you, stay," I say tears forming in my eyes. She looks at me shocked.
     "I-I," she starts.
     "Please stay," I say knowing she can't finish. She nods. I sigh. Good.

Emma POV
     Killian wants me to stay at his house but I don't want to. I want to go home and cry. I go to leave. He grabs my arm. Then he says something I never thought I'd hear. He cares about me. I stand there shocked. I now want to stay. He leads my into the living room. I sit in a chair and he sits on the couch. Killian decides to put on a movie. I fall asleep halfway. Only one thought in my mind. He cares about me.

I know it's short and I know it's been forever and I'm sorry don't hate me.
