Friends Forever?

Chapter 14

It's been days since I've had a conversation with Killian. He's an idiot, I can't believe he lied to me. He was mad about me keeping that secret yet he kept one from me for years. He's been acting weird I gotta say. Even though he's been trying to get me to talk to him he's been looking at me in a weird way.

I mean the way he looks at me makes me think otherwise but I don't want to fall for him again. I put those feelings behind me and I don't want to resurface them.

I go on my route to go to work but today I decided to walk. I'm walking and I hear Killian call out for me. "I'm sorry," he says and I stay quiet. "I'm just confused, I mean you are my best friend, I mean, I don't know what's going on, I just," he says and he kisses me. As I kiss him I feel it differently I feel love and hurt at the same time. He just hugs me and I put my arms around his neck while he's kissing me but then again I come to my senses and I push him away.

"No you are an engaged man, Killian please go. He sighs. Emma please, I don't know what's going on but I can't live without you." I sigh. "You're just confused go back to Milah, and besides you keep secrets from me we aren't anything anymore not even friends." I look down and I walk away and leave him standing there look back, he was so hurt I could see the pain in his eyes but I just couldn't deal with all this.

"Emma please...." I shake my head. "Please don't this to me, let's talk, what about our promise?" I sigh. "You broke it long ago." He gasps. Tears were rolling down my face and I couldn't control it. He took a step towards me and I turned away. I look back and I watched him get back into his car and drove away. I mean why did he kiss me. He's just confused, he thinks he loves me because I am his best friend.

I ran back to the house and I get a suitcase and grabbed my stuff. I go walking to my job with a suitcase in my hand. I get to the institute and Ruby sighs. "Oh God what the hell happened now?" I stared at her and she sighed. "Can I stay at your place for a few days?"

She nods. "Of course you can, but tell me what happened?" As we are walking to her car to put my suitcase in the trunk I tell her the story. "Well I was walking to work and Killian stops me and well remember what I told you about Milah?" She nods. "Well he's just stuttering like crazy and I'm standing there like can you leave me alone and he plants one on me, he kissed me Ruby!" She gasps.

"Oh my gosh Emma and what did you do?" and right before I answered her question I closed the trunk. "That's what I did," I say and pointed at the trunk. "Oh Emma you and Killian are both the same, the reason why he kissed you is because he knows he's in love with you but he's too stubborn and hard headed to admit it." I shake my head. "Well in the mean time I seriously don't want to see him, so I'll just be crashing at your place." She nods.

"That's fine with me but Emma, you can't hide from him forever." "Not forever but at least for a while." She nods. "Ok let's go back to work and get your mind off of this." I smile and nod.

Killian's POV
I get home after work and I wanted to talk to Emma about the kiss but I was so confused about everything. I mean the kiss, I just can't, of course it meant something, even when I kissed her when I was drunk, even though I don't remember I know that it did mean something.

I go up to Emma's room and I see her closet and it's empty. She did the same thing I did to her. I rushed out the door and drove to her job and I find her in the studio. I walk up to her and sigh. "Emma can we talk?" "About what?" She asks not making eye contact with me. "About what happened today." "I don't recall any special event that happened today," she says and doesn't look up and continues to sketch.

I grab her by the arm and take her out of the studio and we walk outside. "Why are you making a big deal out of this Killian?" "It's just that I..." She sighs. "There's nothing to talk about, what happened didn't mean anything, that kiss didn't mean anything so please leave me alone," she says and walks away.

"Wait Emma where are you staying at?" I shout. She looks back, "don't worry about it," she says and walks back to her studio. I leave and I go back to the house. Milah came over and decided to sleep over at the house, I mean we are engaged, when we get married we will be living like this so it's normal.

I'm sitting in the couch and she grabs my hand and sighs. "Babe what's wrong? You seem off today." "Nothing I just had a disagreement with Emma and well yeah..." She scoffs. "It's always about Emma huh Killian?" She asks in an annoyed tone. I look at her weird. "What do you mean?" She scoffs.

"Well it's just that we always talk about Emma when we aren't at work and your mood depends if you're sad or happy with her." I stay quiet. "Can we promise to each other that we will talk about us and not Emma, not let her intervene in our lives." I sigh.

"Milah, Emma is my only family, I've known her since I was 13, she's a part of my life. I told you that when we got married she was going to be a part of our lives because she's going to live with us." She chuckles. "You're kidding right?" I shake my head. "She's still going to live here when I move in with you?" "Yes this has been her home since she was 18, I'm not going to kick her out."

"Well why don't we get our own place?" She asks and starts to kiss my neck. I smile and she laid down on the couch and I start to kiss her on the lips. I looked down at her and I pictured myself kissing Emma. I back away from her and she looks at me confused. "What's wrong?" She asks as she gets up. "Nothing," I say and that's when we hear the door bell ring.

She scoffs. "Emma always has to ruin everything." I ignore her comment and get up to open the door. "Yes?" I say as I look at them and they sort of look like Emma. "Yes, I've heard that Emma Swan lives here?" The man asks. "Who would like to know?" I ask. "We are her parents." I just stood there shocked. "She's not here right now, do you want to leave a message?"

"Yes can you let her know we came by" Emma's mother says. "I will not let her know," I say and they both stood there shocked. "Why is it that until today you come and look for her?" "It's been hard after that accident and we thought she had died but we found out that she's alive and that she lives here," Emma's mom says.

"I'm sorry it's just I've known her since she was 10 and she has gone through a lot and I had to comfort her for years as she cried and wondered where you two were at and why she was abandoned." They both sighs. "We know but please let her know and we will be back soon," Emma's dad says then they walk away.

I close the door and Milah scoffs. "Like I said Emma will always intervene in our lives." I sit down and I ignore her comment. She sits back down and starts to go through her phone. As I sat there I was thinking of ways to tell Emma that the people who abandoned her are here.
