Emma gets stood up at prom.

Killian was furious at himself.

He had missed his opportunity to ask Emma to their senior prom and now he might never get the chance to fix his mistake.

He had every intention of asking her but he should have known that Emma would be asked by someone else.

Emma was breathtakingly perfect. She was beautiful inside and out and Killian had been in love with her since the 8th grade.

They had been close friends since middle school and he had always been too afraid to admit his feelings.

Now he feared he may never get the chance.

Emma had been asked by Neal Cassidy. He was fairly popular in the school and was sort of a jerk.

Killian hoped Emma only said yes because she felt bad to reject him in front of the huge crowd he had gathered to ask her.

Killian almost didn't want to go to prom. Without Emma it wouldn't be much fun, but he sucked it up and figures maybe he could at least get one dance.

So Killian got a suit and was getting ready when he got a text.

Emma: You getting ready for tonight?

Killian smiled.

I'm already on my way. Did you and Neal go out to eat anywhere?

Emma: No, he said he'd meet me there.

Killian frowned. The bloke didn't even take Emma out to get dinner before the dance!?

Well I should probably text you later. I'm here. Come find me when you get here?

Emma: I will. I'm on my way right now.

Killian put his phone away and stood near the entry.

He looked around the room for a while before he felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned around to see Emma standing there with a huge smile on her face.

Killian tried to keep his mouth from falling open but failed.

She looked breathtaking.

Her dress was red with one strap and her hair was pinned back but still fell in perfect curls.

"You look amazing Swan."

Emma smiled.

"Yeah I guess you look fine too." She joked. "Where's your date tonight Jones?"

Killian cursed internally. He forgot to mention to her he was going alone.

"Acually I decided to fly solo tonight."

Emma raised an eyebrow. "Really? I'm surprised no one begged you to go with them. Especially Milah, I think she's got a thing for you." Emma joked.

Killian rolled his eyes.

"Speaking of people who have a thing for you, where's Neal?"

Emma frowned. "I'm not sure. He was supposed to be here."

Emma checked her phone and called him but it went straight to voicemail. She sent him a text and put her phone away.

"Maybe it's just traffic." Killian suggested.

"Maybe. " Emma said.

Killian pulled Emma towards the dance floor, "May I have this dance?" He asked as a slow song came on.
