Love is a very confusing concept. One never knows when their time to fall in love comes. It occurs that one day, you can be seeing someone and look at them and think, "Oh I think I'm in love with you." Or, you can feel this uneasiness when being with a partner and just fall out of love with them. Whatever the case is, love is typically what most people yearn for in their lives at some point.

As Elvis Presley once said, "wise men say only fools rush in." This is shown in certain instances, in which some people find it easy to fall in love and are capable of falling in love many times. However, other people are unfamiliar with the institution of love and its main principle. Some people go into relationships and convince themselves that who they are with is the "One", whereas other people prefer to wait and see where their relationships take them. Proven fact, people tend to do crazy things when they are or they believe to be in love. Love is such a desirable idea, that many people, young and old, are willing to settle down with anyone because the fear of being alone is too much to bear.

Four Years Ago in New York State

"Emma… I know it sounds bad but it's not really that bad," Neal Cassidy, Emma Swan's fiancee, exclaimed as she proceeded to dump all his items into a suitcase.

"So you mean to tell me that you've cheated on me and got some woman pregnant but that it's really not all that bad?!" she screamed as tears ran down her face. "I've wasted so much time on you, I dedicated a relationship with you for about four years and finally you proposed to me and I accepted, just so that you would cheat on me! At what cost?"

"I didn't know how to break up with you, and then next thing I know, I'm being pressured by my father to settle down and I didn't know what else to do," he lamented as she threw her engagement ring in his face.

She continued to carelessly pack more of his stuff into his suitcase and said "Let me give you a piece of advice Neal, when you want to break up with someone, you don't propose to them and cheat on them and get someone pregnant. Be a man and break up with someone, don't hurt them anymore. Now please get the fuck out of my house and don't come back!"

"I never meant to hurt you, Eml. I'm so-," but he was interrupted by Emma slamming the door in his face.

"Save it jackass," she yelled as she yanked the necklace he had given her on their anniversary three years ago and watched as the pearls went clattering to the floor.

Meanwhile In Maine About 5 Years Ago

Killian Jones stood by the door to his girlfriend's, Milah Gold's, bedroom as she spoke to her husband, Robert Gold, on the phone to check up on him and to see how soon it would be until he got home. She noticed him standing there and sent him a small smile and mouthed 'sorry' as she continued talking on the phone. For the past year and a half, Killian and Milah had been having an affair behind the backs of her husband and adult son, even though the latter lived in New York. Although she was just a couple of years older than Killian, he couldn't find it in him to care enough because he believed his feelings for her to be love. However, he was getting sick and tired of keeping their relationship a secret and wanted her to make a decision on where she stood. She soon got off the phone and joined him down the stairs to go to the living room and they sat down on the couch side by side. Milah turned on the television and Killian toyed with his fingers as he worked up the courage to ask her what it was that she was going to do about her husband.

"My love, are you alright? You've been anxious all day," she commented as she witnessed him playing with his fingers and took his hands in hers to prevent him from continuing.

"Yes love, actually no. I've been trying to work myself up to talk about something important." He mumbled as his palms got sweaty and he stuttered on his words.

" What is it sweetheart?"

"Well for starters, I'm not happy Milah,"he stated as he watched her curious expression transform to a crestfallen face.

"Why not? I thought we were fine? We've been hanging out more and talking and we've been together for such a long time!" Milah exclaimed as she took her hands out of his and moved into the other corner of the couch.

"Milah, I want to know where it is that you stand and what you get out of this relationship. You know that I love you and I would love nothing more than to be seen with you in public as my girlfriend. However, we've been together in hiding for the past year and a half and unfortunately I can't do that because of the simple reason that you have a husband, love."

Milah furrowed her brows and said, "Killy, of course you know that I too love you my sweetheart, but I cannot possibly cross Robert. I have so much stability in this life that I share with him that I can't bring myself to give that up."

Killian got up from the couch and paced around in the room, "Even if it means that you lose me? How can you claim to love me but yet find materialistics to be a reason for why you won't divorce your husband?"

Milah's face contorted into rage as she screamed, "I am doing this because I love you. I can only imagine what would happen if Robert finds out about this affair. You know that he isn't one to mess with. I have a life with him and a son with him. I may not be happy in my marriage with him, but my sons suspects that everything is fine and so I must let him continue to believe that!"

"Well Milah, my love, you have made my decision that much easier. I cannot be with a woman who leads another man on while she has a life with another. This thing you agreed on initially never stated anything about falling in love with each other. However, I cannot pretend that this doesn't hurt me. I'm sorry but you've given me no other choice other than to end this and try to move on," Killian said as he stopped pacing and headed for the front door.

"Before you go, who is the woman that you're leaving me for?" Milah asked as she watched him cautiously. Killian stepped dead in his tracks and scoffed. Of all the irony! I just made a bloody arse out of myself, but yet she's convincing herself that I'm having an affair behind her back while I'm having an affair with her, he thought.

"There's no woman, Milah. I've never cheated on you, despite the fact that we had an affair, nor would I have ever done it. My decision to leave is not on some woman, but more so my need to connect with someone who I can be seeing with and be proud to be with." With that said, Killian walked out and Milah finally slumped back on the couch and gave herself time to compose herself before her husband got home from work.
