How Could I Forget You

Chapter 11

Emma's POV

It's been a year since my apartment burned down and I moved to New York. Sometimes I wonder if that was a sign. A sign that I don't belong here. It's too late now to change my mind any way. I have a date tonight with my boyfriend Walsh. He's uh....he's....he hasn't left me yet. That's good right? Maybe I should just break up with him tonight. I mean he's nice and all but I don't love him. He'd be good for a co-worker. I guess. Anyways right now I'm on my way to meet him. I show up at the restaurant, put on a fake smile and walk in. I give him a hug and sit down. I don't like to go into the details of what happened that night. Let's just say he was not happy, especially since planning to propose. No matter. He's out of my life now. Once I get back to my apartment I don't even bother changing. I just fall on the couch and end up falling asleep five minutes later. About an hour or so later I hear a knock on my door. Still half asleep, I get up and go to the door. Walking past the mirror i take a quick hair and make up check. Fortunately sleep didn't ruin much. I walk to the door and open it. I gasp when I see who is at my door. "Killian..."

Killian's POV

"Emma..." I smile and pull her in for a hug. I hug her tightly as if I will never let go of her. I pull away a little so I can look at her. "You....you remember me?" I look in her eyes, that already had tears in them. God she was beautiful. The way the sunset sun bounced off her golden curls. The way her perfect lips curled into the perfect smile. Every detail, every little detail, about her was perfect. "How could I forget you?" "The potion?" I couldn't bring myself to drink. Just the thought of not being able to know why I was abandoned. Why Neal left me. Just the thought of forgetting everyone was....was horrible." "Everyone? So including me?" She doesn't answer me. Instead she grabs me by my collar and kisses me. Just like in Neverland, I put my hand on the back of her head pulling her closer. After too short of a time she pulls away, but still stays close. "What do you think?" She whispers smiling. "I think....it wasn't a one time thing." I smirk "I think you're right. But I have a question." "Yes?" "Not that I'm not thrilled you're the one who found me, why you? I expected my father to come or someone else." I sigh and look down. I know she can tell something's wrong. "What's wrong?" I smile. I was right. "There's a...problem back in StoryBrooke." "What!? Come on. You can tell me what happened on the way." She grabs her key and starts to run out. Before she can make it out the door her phone on the counter rings. I grab it and check who it is. "Who's Walsh?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. "He uh...was my boyfriend. Don't be jealous. I broke up with him tonight." She gives me a quick kiss on the cheek which makes me feel better. I hand her phone to her and we walk out the door to her car.
