Fascination ↠ Killian Jones [2]

[ t w e n t y t h r e e ]

The day of Neal's funeral felt like the absolute worst day of Alexa's life. She didn't know if she would survive it. But she decided to try to for Henry's sake.

Soon it was time for each person to shovel dirt on Neal's coffin. First up is Killian and then David, Mary Margret, Regina, Belle, Henry, Emma, and lastly Alexa. Slowly moving the shovel Alexa looks down at her bracelet.

"Best friends forever." Alexa whispers and shovels a piece of dirt onto his coffin. Sticking the shovel back in the dirt she looks at the coffin. "Love you, buddy."

FLASHBACK

Alexa walks inside of the Phoenix Jail's visiting room, sitting down in the chair opposite of her sister as she picks up the phone.

"Emma, I'm so sorry.." Alexa begins.

"Alexa, stop. This isn't your fault." Emma assures her. "But you were right — we shouldn't have trusted Neal."

"Em.." Alexa trails off.

"Look, you're going to get out of here. Okay? And once I'm out I'll find you." Emma says.

"Emma, no. I'm not leaving you." Alexa shakes her head.

"Alexa, this is your chance. You can finally get the life you deserve." Emma informs her. "Our whole life all you've ever thought about is us and how we'll survive — it's time to start thinking about yourself."

"This is all my fault." Alexa frowns.

"No, it's not. I made the decision to do this." Emma reassures her. "I'll see you soon."

"Soon." Alexa agrees hanging up before walking back outside and getting in a taxi. "Take me to the nearest airport."

Alexa stands throwing darts as Emma talks with Henry, who have both been getting along great since reconnecting.

"Perhaps I should pain a bulls eye on the Wicked Witch's back." Killian muses walking up behind her.

"Oh, trust me. She's going to get a lot worse than just a dainty little dart." Alexa informs him as she throws her last dart.

"I know you're hurting, Lex. But there are better ways to grieve Baelfire's death than letting anger overcome you." Killian remarks.
