This is my first story and I will update as soon as I can.
This takes place after Season 3 Episode 6 "Ariel".
Hope you like it and feel free to leave reviews. :)
Emma stands in the same place Neal left her when he told her he wasn't right for her. She was in shock that he'd really say that to after all the things they went through and felt for each other. Their love has finally died off.
Tears dampen her face and Emma sits on a rock nearby, releasing her pain that has built up since she thought Neal was dead to now. She loves Neal, but she feels as if she's falling for Hook.
Hook appears beside her and wraps his arm around her, trying to soothe her pain. Out of reaction, Emma curls up in his arms and allows Hook to comfort her while she cried. Kissing the top of her head, he wiped the tears from her eyes and allows their eyes to lock onto each other's. Emma leans in and kisses him and Hook kisses back with the same passion he felt inside because of this woman in front of him. He wanted to take her pain away and to replace it with happiness.
"I meant what I said in the Echo Cave. You've allowed me to do things I never thought were possible. I let go of the woman I fell in love with a long time ago, my Milah. And it's all because of you, Emma," Hook said, looking into her eyes with a sense of sincerity and something unknown. Maybe love.
"But why me? Why did you choose me? There are plenty of girls out there for you to choose from. Why choose a lost orphaned girl?" Emma looked at him, tears starting to well up in her eyes again. She doesn't understand why the pirate before her would want anything to do with her. She's no Milah.
"Who says you're the only one?" Hook brushes a bit of Emma's hair back from her face, a grave look on his face.
"What do you mean? I grew up alone and without my parents. I went from foster home to foster home. I never had a real family. I was alone."
"I lost my brother, my only family I had left, to Dreamshade. We found a cure but after we left Neverland, he died right in front of me." Hook tried so hard to contain his emotions that happened long ago before any of the current events took place. He offers Emma his hand. Hesitantly, she takes it and Hook pulls her into a walk as they go catch up with the others. Emma stops before they reach the others and pulls him behind a thick tree. Hook looks at her with concern, but soon he is lost in her kiss and returns the affection. Emma rests her head on Hook's shoulder as the two of them pant, trying to catch their breath.
"Well, love, he's missing out on a wonderful woman. I hope I can give you the love he never did. The love you never got the chance to really feel and enjoy every second of it." Emma looks at Hook, shocked by his words. He smiles and kisses her again softly. "I won't leave you alone like he did. I won't die on you like we thought he did. You deserve better than what you get," Hook whispers in Emma's ear only loud enough for her to hear him. He doesn't want the others to overhear what he tells her. Emma nuzzles his neck and Hook nuzzles the side of the head in a form of agreement. She trusts him to not do to her what Neal did to her. She loves Neal, but things change and so do plans. In this moment, she doesn't want anything more than to be loved by the pirate holding her in his arms.
