We Sailed Away

Complicated Questions

Emma's POV

I look up at him standing in the doorway. He looks shocked at what I just said.
I finally push past him. I grab my red leather jacket and walk out of the house. He follows close behind.
"Wait, Swan!" He yells while I walk down the street. "Wait!" He catches up.
"I'm sorry, Swan!" He grabs my arm. "I shouldn't have yelled." He pulls himself in front of me. "I didn't know that's how you felt." He looks down in shame.

"Next time just ask." I say.

"I'm sorry, Emma." He whispers.

"Just don't do it again." I take his hand.

"I won't. I'm so sorry!" He whispers.
I pull him in for a tight hug. It takes a few moments for him to hug back.
He kisses my head and hugs me even tighter.

"Killian, if you hold me any tighter I'm going to stop breathing." My voice cracks.

"Sorry, love." He lets go of me. "What do you say we go back inside?" He takes my hand.

"I was actually, hoping we could go for a walk." I smile.

"Of course," he smiles and pulls me closer. We walk hand in hand on the beach right behind the house.
I lean my head on his shoulder. I can feel him smiling. I smile as we walk.
"Emma?" He asks.
Oh, crap! He never calls me 'Emma'.

"Yah?" I say calmly.

"Do you love me?" I stop in my tracks. "Emma?" He asks putting his hand to my cheek. "Emma?"
I look down not wanting to meet his eyes. "You don't love me. Do you?" He backs away.

"It's more complicated." I look up at him.

"How can it be complicated? It's a simple question." He states still backing away.

"Killian I-"

"Just answer the bloody damn question!" He yells.

"I- I have to go." I turn around and just keep walking.
I turn my head to see if he's following me. He sat down on the sand.
I turn my head again, and let the tears fall.
