The Day We Met (Captain Swan)

Chapter 33

The next morning Emma took longer in getting ready. Much longer. And all because she was avoiding August, she didn't want to talk to him at all, but she knew she had to. It was the morally correct thing to do; she couldn't just leave August like that, he did nothing wrong and it wasn't his fault Killian came back. He just fell for the wrong person.

Emma was playing with Caroline when there was a light knock on the door, which she responded with a 'come in' hoping with everything that the one who knocked was August. And to her luck, it wasn't. It was her mother.

"Hello, mother" Emma said in a barely audible voice, to which Snow responded with a glare.

Words weren't needed to know what the queen wanted to talk about and to know exactly what she would say. Everything Snow wanted was for Emma to talk to August.

Emma heaved a sigh and nodded ever so slowly, handed Caroline to her mother carefully and exited the room with no words.

She had no idea were August would be, so she just went to the garden, guessing he'd be there. Emma was walking so slowly, she was so nervous. What would she tell August? It isn't as if he didn't know what was going on, but he had to hear it from her, for Emma.

Once she got there she was relieved to find no one but the guards, but not a minute after she was facing none other than the only person she was avoiding. August.

"He-" She started but was immediately interrupted.

"Don't, Emma. Please don't. I know why you are doing this, why you are talking to me. You just don't want to feel bad with yourself. You want your relationship with that pirate to be "real". You want it to be pure. Believe me, I know. But that won't make any difference. It was pretty obvious the moment you first saw him that you would fall right back for him, and I have no idea why. e left you, after all. And I was the one to pick up each and every piece of your broken heart, putting it together, thinking you would love me not even as much as I love you, just a little. But I guess I was wrong" He declared, and he couldn't have been more right about everything.

Emma was kind of mad, the words that came out of his mouth hurt her, but they were true.

"August, I do love you. You know that just... not like that. I am so grateful with you because you never left me, you always stood next to me, taking care of me and loving me. But we just weren't meant to be"

"There is not such thing as "meant to be", Emma. If you want to be with someone you work on it. Because you want them, not beacuse you are meant to be" He responded. Emma thought he couldn't be more wrong.

"See? That is why we never could have worked out. Even w¿if we tried. We think too differently. Peope are meant to be. That's why they are together. Because they are happy"

"Oh, don't blame me for this. You would have married me if it wasn't for the pirate and we both know that!" He snapped.

"Yes! Maybe I would have! Maybe right now we would be on our honeymoon. But we aren't. He came back. Deal with it. Accept it. I already did"

"Of course you already did" He mumbled.

"Excuse me?" She asked, offended. "I said, of course, you already did"

"And what exactly do you mean by that?" Emma questioned.

"That he can leae you and come back whenever he wants beacause you will always be here, waiting for him" He addmitted, which only made Emma madder.

"Oh please! Tell me you didn't just say that! That is so not true! If I want I can break up with him. But no, I won't. Because I want him, I am happy with him. He respects me, he treats me well. He loves me, and I love him" Emma was so angry at this point, it was a surprise she hadn't just punched him in the face already.

"You know what Emma? Let's just leave it here, this isn't getting anywhere and I don't want you to eth the wrong idea of what I mean" And with that, he just left.

"Huh, what is wrong with him?" Emma asked herself.

And just then Dvid walked in and pulled Emma in for a tight hug. She hugged him back, not realizing she was crying until her dad told her that everything was going to be okay. that fight made Emma feel really bad with herself. August was nothing but loving to her, he cared for her and her baby, and she paid him like this.

"Em, I know what your thinking, and even though it pains me to say this; August was not the right guy for you, Killian is. And you are happy with him, go look for him" David kissed her daughter's forehead.

"I love you, dad!" Emma said as she started walking towards the main entrance.

"Love you too, Em"

Emma found herself riding her favorite horse towards Killian's ship to tell him everything that had happened. She was so happy her dad finally approved!

Oh, God. I hate myself and I know you hate me too. Just, please read this an, please.

I know all the last chapters have been uploaded so slowly, and it took me 3 months to upload this one. It's just that I just started high school and my grades are so important right now, I am trying to have a grade average of A to pass all my subjects without presenting finals because that is how it works at my school. If you have A in all three periods you have an automatic A+ on your finals, and you get on vacation early. So I have been studying like crazy.

Believe me when I say that every single day I think of how I have failed you and this book and it makes me so sad.

I can't say when the next chapter will be here let's just hope that soon.

I am so sorry.
