Well my little readers, I'm at it again, I will be adding another OUAT story to my load of stories I need to finish! Lol I do not own anything but the storyline and a few extra characters. Please enjoy!

"Emma! Emma! Over here!" Turning around she spotted more of the paps flashing their cameras at her. Her brother swiftly moved her as quickly as he could, he knew how she hated the paparazzi. "Are the rumors true about Neal and you splitting?! What went wrong?" Hiding her face in her brother's chest. Emma couldn't help, but frown as they continued to move towards her.

Once they were inside and away from the crazy vultures that were the paparazzi, Emma could finally take a soft calm breath. "You okay Em?"

Shrugging they followed the waitress to a booth in the back. "It comes with the territory David. You and Mary-Margaret are lucky, you can leave the world of this and I can't. Every time I thought about leaving the business, I was pulled back by Neal." While they both looked over the menu, silence engulfed them and it was welcomed because Emma needed time to calm herself.

Emma looked up as the waitress came into view, instantly she knew the waitress knew who she was. Running her fingers through her blond hair, she was beginning to think this wasn't a great idea. "Uh what can I get you two?" she nervously spoke.

David looked up her with a soft unfazed face. "We'll both have the grilled cheese and onion rings with a sprite." Emma couldn't hold back a soft giggle as the waitress took their menu from them. This caused David to have a smile on his face. "It's been forever since I've heard that sound."

Looking at him, she nodded softy. "Yeah well in my defense I haven't really had a reason to smile. Neal has made sure to make my life hell. This is it David, I cannot let him keep doing this shit to me." Emma smiled as the waitress returned with their drinks. "He was drinking, staying out at night partying. How was I supposed to wait around?" taking a sip she continued once they were alone again.

"Emms, I wish you would've told me and Mary-Margaret. You know we could've helped you get away. I know this crazy life you guys live, but getting away from it all might not be a bad idea now." Her brother was right, then again he always was when it came to her. He was right about sending an audition tape to Hollywood, he was right about making the move from Boston to Hollywood and he was the one that did warn her about Neal. "So what are you going to do now? Are you going to take a break?"

Could she really just walk away from everything she'd built? She was one of the most sought out actresses out there. At the tender age of 25 she'd already accomplished most of the things she'd wanted to achieve. "I don't know Dave, I don't want to let him win, but you aren't wrong about letting this be the end of everything."

Taking his sister's hand in his, David looked at her with conviction and determination in his eyes. All he ever wanted was for his sister to be happy. Something all brother's wanted for their sisters. "Emma, Whatever you want to do, myself and Mary-Margaret will support you. We love you so much and just want you to be content with every aspect of your life." For the first time since the whole Neal break up, she felt like someone had her best interest at heart. Emma nodded as the waitress brought out their food ending the discussion they'd been having.

After dinner Emma escaped the restaurant this time without a problem. Her brother's words were still weighing heavy on her mind. Could she really just walk away from everything she'd built here in LA? David had even suggested going back to Boston, but did she really want to leave LA, and her dreams of being a star. Was being a star worth it? As she drove home Emma allowed these questions to weigh in her head as she drove home. As the drive ended and now she was home in her safe space. Tomorrow was a new day, tomorrow she could make sense of everything going on in her mind? Tomorrow she could have a chance to talk to Regina about possibly giving this world up.

The next day…

Emma took a deep breath as she sat in her car outside her agent's office. Regina Mills was a spit fire and a terrifying person to piss off. This was the reason Emma remained in her car. She was scared shitless to say anything to Regina about wanting to walk away from everything, it didn't help that she was pregnant and crazy hormonal. Leaning back Emma kept trying to motivate herself to face the music, but every time she'd go to leave she freak out and go back to her car. Running her fingers through her hair slowly Emma was about to leave when someone pulled up next to her. "Emma?" Turning around she noticed Robin, Regina's husband, smiling next to her. "Lass, are you okay?"

Nodding she moved to get out of her car. She knew there was no avoiding Regina now. "I just got off the phone with my brother, I was getting ready to go up and see your wife, she wanted to talk about the whole Neal thing. She messaged me this morning telling me Gold isn't happy with the fact that I left his son."

Robin nodded as he grabbed a bag out of the trunk "Yes I know, he called Regina early this morning. I don't think he realizes she's pregnant and needs rest; last thing my wife needs to worry about is that bloody wanker's problems."

"It's my fault, I left Neal. I caught him with another actress in our bed, and he got back on drugs; I gave up. I cannot do this anymore Robin. He sucks every ounce of energy out of me." Emma moved with Robin to the office building to meet her doom.

Robin went in first to check on his wife, Emma didn't mind due to the fact that she was avoiding her conversation with Regina. A frown was placed on her lips the longer it took, she didn't want to be here anymore, her mind wasn't in it any longer. "Emma!" Emma turned and looked at her agent and faked a smile. "Come in Robin is being over bering and I could use a distraction." Opening the door a bit, Regina allowed Emma to enter before shutting the door. "To what do I owe this meeting?"

Emma took a deep breath before sitting down in one of the chairs in front of her desk. "First off, I'm sorry about Gold…I didn't know he would take it to that extreme."

Rolling her eyes Regina just shrugged, "I don't care, he's always been a thorn in my side even before you. So don't worry about it. Neal isn't a good guy, Gold will eventually see his son is a horrible human being. I wish you could've been saved from meeting him, but life happens." Emma nodded and was about to Segway into her retirement speech, but Regina decided that she had something else she wanted to say. "Look, I know you don't want to do this anymore, after Neal I don't blame you, but I need you to consider something before you walk away." Regina was almost as good as herself being able to read people so easily. "So here's the thing, there's a movie in production and Robin is in it. The movie is a love story and they want to do a soundtrack to it." Okay what does this have to do with me? Emma thought to herself. She didn't understand why Regina was giving her all this information. Normally she'd tell her the premises and ask her to write a song for it and that's it.

Emma shrugged and looked at her boss/friend. "Okay so what you want me to make a song for it? Done. I don't know why you are so hesitant on asking me."

"See the thing is they want you to do a duet with the main actor. The lead actress cannot sing for shit and they want someone who could mesh with the actor. Robin suggested you and I agreed with him." Regina laid back in her chair and rubbed her stomach.

Robin looked at Emma with a smile. "Killian is a kind man, he has his moments of being an arse, but you two would get alone." Robin moved to the edge of the desk before continuing. "I know it's a lot to ask, but it's an important movie for him and everyone involved and I would owe you personally if you can do this for me."

Emma groaned knowing she was bound to say yes. Robin and Regina both were always kind and helping her at every turn she needed. How could she really say no to either of them. "Okay fine, but I have like three conditions if I do this." Sitting up Emma looked at both of them. "I want a control meeting with him, I don't care where, but I want to meet him before I write the song. Secondly we both have to write the song, I'm not doing all the work. Finally, after this if I decide to leave, I can. No more favors, I just stay away." She could see Regina start to protest and Emma just shook her head. "I will attend the rest of the award shows this year, but after that Regina I get a chance to figure out what I want. It may not be permanent, but it's a right now I need this thing."

Emma watched as regina and Robin spoke softly, but their eyes said it all. They would agree and this could possibly be Emma's last round being a star.
