Friends Forever?

Chapter 13

4 weeks later

Killian and I have gone back to normal. Our friendship has continued on and we've moved past the incident. Even though I still love Killian I've decided to bury those feelings way deep down inside me.

I'm going through the mail checking to see if something Milah had ordered from the bridal boutique had arrived. As I'm going through it I see a mysterious letter. It doesn't have any mailing address, it just says Killian Jones in the front. I wanted to open it so badly but I don't want to start another argument between Killian and I.

I walked back to the house and I looked for Killian. He was in the backyard watering the plants. I smiled at the sight of that. He so tough yet so gentle. I shook my head and opened the sliding door. "Killian umm you received this weird letter in the mail." He puts the watering pot down and grabs the letter.

"Thanks but that's weird, any idea on who sent it?" I shrug. He opens it and his face turns pale, what was in it that made him look like that. He turns his back towards me and I couldn't help but wonder.

Killian's POV
I open the letter and it's a letter from Garett, Milah's ex. "You should watch your back Special Agent Jones because I will not think twice about hurting your precious Emma. Just like you didn't think twice when you seduced Milah." I turn around and faced my back towards Emma. That's when I see photos behind the letter

They were photos of Emma in the house, at her job, at the store, everywhere. I clenched my jaw and cursed out. I turned around and Emma had a shocked look on her face. My heart saddened, I can't believe this bastard has her on watch. I walked passed Emma and went back inside. Emma calls out to me and I stop.

I sigh and turned around. "Killian what's wrong?" I sigh. "Emma from now on please watch your back." She gives me a weird look. "What's going on?" I sigh once again. I can't believe I was mad at her for keeping secret about our make out session when I had a secret of my own.

"Emma I haven't been completely honest with you, Milah was I mean is my partner but when I started to go out with her she was engaged to another man and she left him for me and now that man is threating to hurt you." She gave me a baffled look. "Wait you said she was single and she thought she was being followed by someone she hated..." I nod.

"And that's why you had to take all these security precautions and it was all because her ex was threating her because of you!" She says while yelling at me. I look down and nod. "You got mad at me for keeping the make out session between us a secret and you lied to me for all these years Killian!" She screams at me once again. "Emma I'm sorry."

She scoffs. "I thought I was your best friend and now I see that I'm not, I never was." I gasp. "Emma please," I say as I tried to grabbed her hand. She pulls away and scoffs. "Its like I don't even know you Killian, my best friend the one that I met in the orphanage isn't here anymore." I gasp as she walks away and goes up to her room.

Oh I was a dirt bag, the biggest dirt bag in the world. I walked upstairs and made my way to Emma's room. I was about to knock when I hear soft sobs. I made Emma cry, I made my best friend cry. That's when I hear the water fountain turn on. God Garret is not the bastard in this story, I am.

I quietly knocked and called out to Emma. She didn't respond. "Emma I'm sorry, please can we talk." No response. I sigh. "Emma please, I need to tell you everything that happened, please." No answer. I sigh and walked away. I made my way back downstairs and I sat down on the couch.

I leaned my head back against the couch and images of me kissing Emma flashed in my mind. My eyes shot open and I gasped. What the hell? Why am I thinking of her in that way. I closed my eyes again and I pictured me and her in the shower together. I opened my eyes and I gasped.

What in the world is going on? Emma is my best friend, I don't have my feelings for her, or do I?
