Killian and Emma didn't go back in time after Zelena was killed, Zelena is dead.

Emma's POV
Sitting outside at Granny's I cross my legs together and ponder what I should do. Henry did have his memories back but everything that happened with Zelena and the countless villains that had come to Storybrooke I was starting to regret my decision of coming back.

Henry's life was not this complicated when we lived in New York, yes it was 'built on lies' but it was good life. For once everything was normal, there was no pyscho villain trying to kill me or my family.

Then there was Killian.

After everything he had done, all the things he has risked in order to kill Zelena and bring me home I just....

I sigh and run a hand through my curled hair, why was my life all of a sudden so complicated? New York was so easy and fun. I missed the pizza, the zoo, the peace of our lives for just one year. I missed it all.

"Swan...we need to talk."a voice says from behind me, his voice. I snap out of my daze and turn my head to see Killian, in all of his glory, walking towards me.

His attire hadn't changed, thankfully, and his hair was styled perfectly. His blue eyes seemed confident as he strides towards me as if he wanted to talk. About what? My stomach tightens as he comes closer.

I shake my head and shoot up out of my seat right before he gets to me. "I really don't want to talk to you about this Killian, not after what you did. I can't trust you."I spit and turn to walk....well walk somewhere.

"Swan...Swan! Don't run, not again!"he yells after me. I stop in my tracks, again? Again?! When was the first time?

I turn back to face him, his face filled with concern and pain. My stomach slightly twist as he walks towards me with determination. "You can't leave Swan, not when you've come this far."he says standing in front of me.

I take a step closer to him feeling my temper boil over,"Not when I've come this far?! And what do you know of where I was?!"I scream waving my arms around.

He narrows his eyes and clenches his jaw,"You were broken Swan, you had your walls up for so long, almost to the point where we'd lost hope. But your parents fought until they tore them down. You can't just live your past and your family behind! Your the bloody savior, start acting like it!"he yells as spit flys out of his mouth.

I feel my mouth fall open in surprise,"And why is this any of your concern? Why don't you just leave, go back to being a pirate? That's what you're good that!"I reply back clenching my fist.

He takes another step towards me as everything comes pouring out. Our walls? Psh, they were gone. My heart starts beating faster, from Killian's nearness or from the magic coursing through my veins, I couldn't tell.

"Those reasons are my own Swan, I'd advice you to tread carefully."he says darkly gritting his teeth. I burrow my eyebrows and narrow my eyes, being anything but careful. "No, you can pick and pry at my life but I can't at yours? What happened that you're not telling me?"

"Why don't you want to go back?!"I yell getting exhausted from all the yelling but I'd win this. "That's non of your concern Swan! Just listen to me for once, don't leave Storybrooke. Your life was built on lies, you'd be wasting this rare opportunity if you went back. You can't act like the past didn't happen!"he yells as pain and anger flashes across his features.

I blink as I'm at a lose for words, he was referring to our past. In Neverland, on the beanstalk, everything. He thought I had feelings him.....and he was right. Which scared the crap out of me.

"I'm not acting like that Hook, but Henry needs to be save. He's not here were there's villains and twisted fairytales, he'll never be safe as long as I'm the savior and his mother! I'm doing what's best for him!"I say feeling my mind about to burst. "Why can't I go back, why is it such a big deal?"I ask calmly trying not to start another argument.

"Love, you're leaving your past behind you, you're focusing on your future and aye that's good and well but you're forgetting about your family. The friends you've made in this town...the people you've begun to care about."he whispers as his eyes fill with intensity causing me to be locked into place.

"But it's my life Killian, why can't you let me go?"I ask feeling my voice slightly falter. He shakes his head and runs his hand through his dark locks. I was beyond confuse and ticked off by this point. Perks of being a Savior/Princess/Mother/Sheriff.

"I-we..."he trails off shaking his head and turns to leave. That's when I snap, he couldn't yell at me and be the one to walk away. I wasn't letting this go, it was my turn to find out some answers.

"Hook, stop!! I listened to your little speech now answer the stupid question. Why can't I take Henry back?!"I walk after him yelling. "Enough Swan!"he says back keeping up his pace to the docks.

"No!! Tell me why I can't leave! What are you so afraid of, why do you even care?!"I scurry to keep up with him. "Why can't I just-"then he cuts me off saying something I'll never forget.

My heart burst at this moment as complete utter shock took over me. My cheeks flushed like a tomato while my stomach completely dropped. I promised my heart stopped beating.

"Because I'm in love with you Emma!!!"he yells turning around making me stop dead in my tracks. His eyes were slightly filled with tears while his hand was clutched firmly against his side.

"I..."he rakes a hand through his hair,"I'm in love with you Emma. I can't let you go."he whispers looking down at the ground ashamed. I feel my
mouth fall open as the mess hits me like a canon, he-he loved me?

He slowly looks up at me,"I'm hopelessly in love with you Emma Swan. I've lost love once, I can't let it slip through my fingers again."he says quietly.

I blink.

Did I return the feeling? I mean with Neal just dying and not being ready to
let go of my past I didn't know what to think. I blink again and stare at the ground, not being able to bring myself to say anything.

He closes the distances between us and grabs my hand with his. "I know you're not ready to let go of your past Emma but I'm begging you love....don't leave."he whispers looking deeply into my eyes.

His eyes seems broken and unguarded, for once both of our walls were completely down. I blink as tears fill my eyes,"Killian....I have too." I whisper feeling my own heart break.

He narrows his eyebrows as the smallest amount of tears fills his own eyes,"Just promise you won't forget me."he mutters before closing the small distance between us.

His soft lips land on mine as his arms wrap around the small of my back pulling me closer to him. I rest my hand on his firm chest as I kiss him back.

The kiss was soft and rememberable, it was simply a goodbye kiss. Nothing like our one in Neverland filled with confusion and passion. This showed how much I cared, maybe even loved him.

After a few more satisfying seconds we pull back desperate for air. "I love you Emma."he whispers before vanishing as if he never existed. I blink as tears rush out of my eyes, crumbling to the ground I clutch my body as the absence of Killian takes over me.  I would never see him again.

But I had to do what was best for Henry.

Yea yea I know, heart breaking! But....it's a one shot so it ain't that bad. You'll forget about it by tomorrow. Please like and comment, if I need to write a CS book please inform me because honestly I really want to BUT I don't know if my one shots are even good.
