How Could I Forget You

Chapter 3

Emma's POV

I had no idea why David was yelling at me. It was midnight and it's not like I was doing drugs or anything like that. It was just a simple kiss on the cheek that's it. Well I wasn't going to let my parents live my life. They decided to exit my life a long time ago and they can't but in just like that. Well it my life and my decisions. I walk past the docks wanting to go down to the Jolly Roger, grab Hook by the collar, and kiss him just like in NeverLand, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't know why but I couldn't. Then I got an idea. I couldn't stand to see Hook without expressing my love to him and if that happened he'd have the advantage over me. He could even break my heart like Neal. I went back home to see my mother making dinner. I also see my dad looking almost broken. As I close the door their heads shot up. "Emma. Thank goodness your safe. I went out looking for you but I-" I didn't get to hear what else he had to say. I ran upstairs and started working on my plan. A few minutes later I heard a knock on my door. I slide my work under my bed, sit by my desk and say. "Come in." It was my father. The last person I wanted to see right now. I sigh. "Listen, dad, I really don't wanna talk right now." "Come on, Emma, I won't be able to sleep tonight knowing your this mad at me. Please." " No dad, just, just stop please." We babble on for about 3 more minutes till mom walks through the door. "Everything alright in here?" "Emma won't let me talk." "Emma is this true?" Ugh I was so frustrated with my butting parents. "Yes but.....ugh!!" I through my hands up in frustration and go out my window onto the fire escape and stay out there till they leave. Then I go back in quietly, finish my work. Once I'm finished I head down to Golds shop from the window. I walk into his shop and say. "Gold! Gold, you in here?" I get distracted by an item in his shop. Something you'd find on a pirate ship. Not like the Jolly Roger pirate ship almost as if an our realm pirate ship. I was so distracted I didn't here footsteps come in. "Find something Ms. Swan?" Gold says snapping me out of my trance. "What? No, no." "Then why are you in my shop at 12:00 in the morning?" "I need your help. I'm leaving town and I want to forget. Forget everything since Henry knocked on my door." "Ms. Swan, you do realize you won't remember anything. This town, these people, your parents, your.....pirate." I sigh having second thoughts about this but I pushed them aside. "Yes I do realize that. That's why I need it." "Alright dearie. Stay here." He goes into the back room for a minute and comes back out with a clear bottle of, what looks like water. "Water?" "For now." He says stepping towards me and taking a piece of my hair. I wince not in pain, but just by surprise. He dips the hair into the water and I watch the magic happen. Literally.

"Here you are, dearie." I look at him skeptically. "What's your price?" "Information." "About?" "Where are you going? When are you leaving? How long will you be gone?" "Boston. Now. I..I don't know." "Thank you miss Swan. That's all I needed." He handed me the potion walking back into the back room. I stood there for a minute kinda in shock as to why he would want to know that but I pushed it aside. I needed to get out of there as soon as possible. I walk out of the shop checking for people. Seeing the coast is clear I make my way to the town line. I decided not to take my car. Although it'll be a long walk until the next town it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. As I make my way down to the town line I start to remember the time Henry brought me here. He was so little then and so was I. Ever since I was brought to this small little town I've learned to change my prospective on a lot of things. Every single memory I go through reminds me of Henry. I suddenly stop, wondering why the hell am I leaving Henry again. I tell myself that he has Regina. My parents, they have each other. Everyone has someone and I don't. I don't belong here. Sooner than I thought I reach the town line. I stop, sighing, stepping over the town line.
