Chapter 20

After getting yelled at by the one who is in charge or whatever I made my way back to where Killian was detained. I felt so guilty though, I didn't have the heart to go up to him knowing that I'm the reason why he was demoted and disciplined. He ignored his own belief to trust mine, to trust me.

This made me fall for him even more. That is legit the reason why I didn't continue on with whatever it is that we had because of the differences in our duties, our beliefs, and he ignored his to follow mine. What if he hates me and worse what if the president doesn't wake up and he gets sent to jail for the rest of his life.

I walked up to the storage closet where he was detained. I then see two of his own men standing guard. I stood there and smiled. "Do you think I can go inside and have some alone time with Kill-, captain Jones?" They shook their heads.

"I'm sorry Doctor Swan But we cannot let you in there, he's being detained." One of them said with a straight face. I sighed. "Well can I talk to him alone from out here?" They both nod and gave us some space. I sit down next to the door and sighed. I knock.

"Killian you in there?"

"Yes Emma I'm here." I smiled.

"Killian?"

"Yeah?" I hear him answer back.

I start to cry, I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Are you crying Swan?" I wipe my tears.

"No, I'm just... I have allergies because I'm out here talking to you, thanks for that." I could hear him chuckle.

"Well my bad I didn't know you were allergic to being outdoors I'll remember that for next time." I smile.

"Killian I'm sorry, I'm sure you hate me so much."

"Don't be sorry, I don't regret anything I did today. I knew you could do it, it's your belief your career, I picked you."

My heart soared, this man lived for his country, for his belief of his higher commander yet he failed to do an order because he believed in me.

"But at what cost Killian, this is everything to you, this was your life, your belief, you have to hate me."

"I will never hate you Emma and it might have cost me everything but now I have an ever higher belief in someone else now."

My heart stopped, God I wanted to hit him because that answer made my heart break even more. This man is putting everything he has fought for on the line because of me. Well I'm sure it's me, but what if it isn't?

"Really in who?" I could hear him chuckle.

"Don't you know Emma, it's you."

My heart soared again, confirming that he indeed believes in me. God if it wasn't for this door I would probably kiss the hell out of him. Who am I kidding we can't just be colleagues, and from his actions he doesn't want to be just colleagues.

"Emma you there?" I smile.

"Yes I am. Can I make a confession?"

"Of course Emma."

"If it wasn't for this door I would probably kiss you."

"That is quite a confession, maybe under different circumstances I would do the same thing."

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Killian this isn't fair, you shouldn't get in trouble for me, let me take the fall."

That's when I see a hole in the door big enough for a hand to fit through. I ripped a little more of the wooden door and stuck my hand through. That's when I feel Killian grab my hand. We held hands and I could feel him caressing my hand.

"I will never let you take the fall." I smile as I still feel him caressing my hand.

"So there goes our idea of just being colleagues Emma." I chuckle.

"Maybe we just had bad timing Killian." I hear him sigh.

"You want to talk about it now?" I stayed quiet. His question lingered in my mind, should we talk about it now? I think we should talk about this, I don't want to lose my only chance.

"Yeah we should," I softly say and I could still feel his other hand caressing mine.

"Maybe once we get out of this ugly situation we could give each other another chance?" I grip his hand tightly.

"Yes we should." I could then feel him kiss my hand.

"No matter what happens Emma I will be with you always ." Tears filled my eyes hearing him say that.

We stayed quiet just us two holding hands, we wanted to just enjoy this quiet moment. That's when I felt him kiss my hand again. I don't know why but this time I felt like that was a reassurance that everything is going be ok.

That's when the soldiers come back.

"Ok Doctor Swan time is up." I nod. That's when Killian gives my hand another kiss.

"Please take care Emma."

"See you later Killian."

I take my hand out and I stood up. I walked away and made my way back to med bay to check on the president. I see Elsa over seeing him. "Hey how's he doing?" She sighs, "not good." I sigh.

"He has to wake up." Elsa sighs and nods. "Did you go see Killian?" I nod. "So what are they going to do with him?" I shrug. "I don't really know but all I know is that he risked everything for me and his future depends on whether or not that man wakes up." She nods.

"You still like him don't you?" I half smile as tears began to form in my eyes. "Why is it that I can only express my feelings when the person I have affection towards is in danger?" Elsa chuckles. "That's how you are Emma, there's no shame in that." I smile as I wipe my tears.

"So are you going to give him a chance?" I nod. "Once all this mess ends, we will give each other another chance." Elsa smiles. "Good, because I am sick and tired of seeing the awkwardness between the both of you." I laughed and blushed.

Maybe now I finally have a chance at happiness....
