Okay, so this is my first fic and I am going to try my hardest with it. I originally got the idea for this fic from an essay i wrote but then i totally changed it and now its going to be nothing like that. At all. Whoops. Anyway I hope you enjoy the first chapter for this. :) I don't own any of these characters, they all belong to Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, writers of Once Upon A Time.

"I can't believe this, I was so close but yet again he got away."

Emma had lost sight of the guy whilst turning round a corner. This was the third time that had happened in a month. This wasn't good.

Her boss simply looked at her with a bored expression, "Clean up your act Miss Swan or you will be cleaning your desk."

Emma wanted to scream. She couldn't lose this job as she was lucky enough to get it. She was probably just off her game. As she went back to her desk she sat down and let out a big sigh.

"You wanna talk about it?"

Emma looked up to find Ruby staring down at her.

"Not really but let's just say I have one more chance."

Ruby looked at her and then sighed.

"I know it's tough but how about we ditch this place as soon as we can and go out tonight?" Emma could practically hear the pleading in Ruby's voice. She was too tired for this. Way too tired.

"I can't tonight I have work to do." It was only a half lie. She really did have work to do. The only thing is that she wasn't planning on doing it tonight.

"Why? You're always come up with excuses to not go out. Are you hiding something from me? Are you hiding someone from me?" Emma cold literally see the ideas flying around Ruby's head. She would never know where Ruby got her enthusiasm from. Or her wacky ideas for that matter.

"I'm not hiding anything I swear. I'm just really tired and I do actually have work to do."

"Fine. This weekend maybe?" Ruby was one of those people that feared she would shrivel up and die if she didn't go out with friends at least twice a week. Emma on the other hand would die if she had to go out more than once.

"Maybe but I'm not making promises." Emma had already made up her mind. She definitely was not going out. She knew what Ruby was like after one too many drinks. Especially on the weekends.

As Ruby walked away, Emma picked at the sleeves of her sweater. Maybe Ruby was right. She was always coming up with excuses not to go out. She needed to go out more. It was getting beyond ridiculous.

Time past by slowly and then she started to pack up her stuff. When she reached her car she unlocked it and stepped inside. After just holding the wheel staring into space for a second she let out a small scream and hit her head against the steering wheel. She had no idea what was up with her. Why was her game so off? She was usually great at what she does but recently she hasn't been doing so great. Emma thought about texting Ruby to say she could go out tonight but she thought against it and started the engine.

When she got back to her apartment she kicked of her boots and immediately went for a shower. She got it to the right temperature and got in. Feeling the hot water running down her back seemed to relax some of her stress. When she was feeling better she got out of the shower and went to find some chocolate. She liked to call chocolate her guilty pleasure. She flopped down on her sofa and turned on the television to see what was on. As she was flicking through the channels she saw a handsome man doing some sort of interview for MTV. She was awestruck by his features. His eyes were bluer than the ocean and he had dark hair. Emma wasn't one for celebrity crushes but this one guy had caught her attention. Nearer the end of the interview the guy's name flashed up on the screen. Killian Jones. Almost immediately she grabbed her laptop and searched the name. She discovered that the guy was an actor. A very handsome one. Emma goggled at his face on the screen for a little while longer then shook her head and changed the channel. Eventually she turned off the television and went to bed. Mind whizzing with thoughts about work. Ways to get her path straight again.

Killian couldn't stand doing interviews. They were time consuming and boring. As the interviewer asked pointless question after pointless question he found himself losing his train of thought. When he finally said goodbye to the interviewer he walked of the set and blinked a few times. He hadn't realised how sore his eyes could get from bright lights.

As he walked out of the building where his interview was held, hundreds of flashes went of at once.

"Bloody hell," Killian muttered. He shielded his face and got to his car as fast as he could. He loved what he did. He just hated the baggage that came with it. He started up the engine but found he couldn't drive anywhere as here seemed to be a wall of paps and crazy fans trying to get a glimpse of him. He smacked his steering wheel loudly. He was tired and hungry and now he definitely needed a drink. He honked his horn a few times and eventually the sea of crazy fans and paparazzi parted and he smirked a little. He felt likes Jesus. Or was it Moses? He let the thought drift and he drove out of the parking lot.

When he reached his home he drove up the drive way and unlocked his front door. As soon as he got in he went to his kitchen and pulled out some bread and other things to makes himself a sandwich. He never had been good at cooking. Whilst taking a bite he saw a bottle of rum sitting on the dresser. He tried to steer away from it but found that he couldn't and poured himself a glass. He knew he shouldn't but he just couldn't help himself. After finishing his sorry excuse of a meal he went to sit in the main room with his glass. He debate between picking up a book or turning on the television but he eventually just decided to sit with his thoughts. After a while he noticed the time and flicked on the television to watch the result of his interview. He critiqued everything he did, but hey, that's what you do when you see yourself on television. Once the interview concluded he turned off the television and dragged himself to bed. It had been a hell of a long day.

Hiiiii. I hope this was ok. I know it wasn't too long but hopefully as I get into the swing of this the chapters will get longer. Reviews would be great thanks xx
