~~~~~Two days later~~~~~

Killian's pov:

I wake up to someone tapping my shoulder. I open my eyes and see I'm still sitting next to Emma's bedside. I look to see who woke me and see her mom.

"Killian, where you here all night?" She asks.

"I- don't think so." I say groggily.

"That's it. You need to go home and rest."

"I'm fine." I say and rub my eyes.

"Regina brought your car here the other day, Ill tell you if there are any changes." She says and hands me the keys. I stand up, take the keys, and sigh.

"If anything changes, anything at all call me." I say.

"Of course." She says with a warm smile. I lean over Emma to say goodbye.

"Ill see you later Swan." I say and peck her on the lips. I stand back up and walk past Snow. As I walk down the clean, white hallway I squeeze the keys in my hand and the rivets in it press against my palm. I walk out of the hospital and the afternoon sun flares brightly. With a sigh, I walk to Emma's old, light yellow, Volkswagen Beetle and press the unlock button on the keychain and the car clicks. I open the driver side door, sit on the black cloth seat and close the door.

I lean my head on the top part of the steering wheel and I shouldn't have gone with my mother, I should have just listened to Emma. I step on the break and shift the car in reverse. Once I've backed up enough I shift the car into drive and steer out of the hospital and turn right onto the main road. I pass streetlamps, clothing stores, and the town hall. I turn right and after a few streets I pull into our drive way and shift the car into park. My fingers wrap around the key and I turn it and the car shuts off. I get out of the car and lock it behind me. Slowly I walk up the pale white wooden stairs to the front door and unlock it with one of the keys on Emma's key chain. I walk in and lock the door behind me and hang the keys on the little silver hook next to the door. I hang up my black leather coat and set my black shoes next to the door. I start to walk up the stairs. I might as well take a shower, I don't think I'll be able to sleep for a while. I walk over to our room and over to the left side of the dresser. I grab a pair of grey socks, black pajama pants with pirate skulls on them, and a old band T-shirt I got cheap at the clothing store down the road. I'm not really sure who 'Queen' is but Emma seems to like the shirt. Lastly I grab a pair of dark blue boxer shorts. I walk down the hall and go straight into the bathroom.

I close the door behind me and set my clothes on the marble vanity. I turn the knob on cold and water starts running from the silver faucet. While its cooling down I take my clothes off and throw them into the dirty laundry hamper. I remove my hook and the prosthetic connecter and set them on the vanity along with my clean clothes. I check the water temperature, cold, just how I like it. I pull the tab on the faucet and water starts to rain down from the shower head. I step into the shower and close the curtain. I stand in front of the water and let it drip down my face. I grab the grey bottle of shampoo, put some of it in my hand, and rub it into my hair.

Once I've finished showering I turn the water off and step out of the shower. I grab the black towel hanging on the wall and dry myself off with it. I hang it up and quickly get dressed. Once I'm dressed I slide the prosthetic connecter on and click the hook into place. I walk out of the bathroom and down the stairs to the living room. I sit on the white/light grey couch and throw a dark grey blanket over me. I turn the TV on and start flicking through Channels until I come across a name I've heard of, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. A dragon flys across the screen and a boy on a broom stick is trying to fly away. I look over to the coffee table and see my grey flask sitting there, I grab it and take a few swigs of it. The alcohol burns my throat but I just ignore it. I start to zone out, letting the movie's sounds drain out my thoughts until I'm interrupted by a knock on the door. I grab the black tv remote and turn the tv off. What if it's news about Emma? I walk over to the door and open it and my heart drops.
