August, 1994 – Stroybrooke, Maine
It was the first day of freshman year when Emma Swan and Killian Jones met for the first time.
Emma was walking down the road before her first day of high school, her first day as a freshman.
Ugh someone please shoot me.
She started thinking how this year was probably going to be another mess, having teachers and kids afraid of her, avoiding her, just because her dad was Sheriff David Swan and her mother was Major Mary Margaret Swan.
Worst life ever.
She missed her brother Leo. He was currently in Massachusetts, far far away from the little town and all the gossip. She had just two friends in her life, Regina who had spent the entire summer with her boyfriend Daniel, and Elsa who had left town to Sweden weeks ago. She missed all of them so much.
Two blocks away from school something caught her attention.
Senior boys.
Her brother Leo had told her about that thing the senior boys used to do, bullying freshman kids.
She was going to keep on walking, until she saw him, a boy with dark hair and blue eyes, who was trying to fight back until five more kids arrived to kick him.
"I'm not standing this" She muttered to herself and without a second though she ran directly into the middle of the fight "Are you going to keep doing this?" She challenged them.
That was when August Booth froze in place. He knew all too well who she was, every soul in that damned town knew who she was, who her parents were.
"Go before I call my dad" Her voice came out harsher than intended.
Once they ran away she turned to face the mysterious boy. She was sure she had never seen him before, there was no way she wouldn't have recognized those eyes. They were so blue.
"You okay?" Her brow furrowed.
"You're my savior" The boy said with a dazzling smile, that was when she knew he was somehow special, that was a sign.
"Bloody day" Killian said to himself on his first day as a freshman.
He wasn't able sleep the previous night, between his parents yelling at each other and Liam's sobs.
Since Liam's illness was discovered, things at home had gone completely wrong. Liam lost his will to live, to feel, to be. His mother looked tired all the time, and his father began drinking every night, until he was coming home at late hours completely drunk. Everything was a mess.
Two blocks away from high school a senior was standing around the corner, waiting for freshman kids to arrive, and today was Killian's lucky day.
Killian's hand curled into a fist, ready to fight.
When he was younger his father taught Liam and him how to protect themselves, so he was able to stand a fight. Everything was going well, he managed to avoid the senior's hit and give him a strong hook. It was all under control until around five more kids showed up, and he knew that he was in a disadvantage and that everything was lost.
Bloody hell.
He readied himself for the kick in the stomach, but it never came. Instead he heard the voice that was going to change his world "Are you going to keep doing this?"
Everything went silence.
"Go before I call my dad" He heard the girl's voice challenging as the seniors ran away.
He raised his eyes to find a beautiful girl with a curtain of golden curls and the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen "You okay?" She whispered.
"You're my savior" He smiled at her. She extended her hand to help him up, and when he took it, electricity flew around his entire body.
"I hope they won't come back for you" She said.
"Me too… now I owe you one, how can I pay you?" He asked, feeling bloody nervous.
"What about we walk together?" She offered and he nodded "Are you new here? Because I'm pretty sure I know everyone around here" She frowned.
"Yeah, apologies milady, Killian Jones" He extended his hand and she took it into a shake "My family just moved from Ireland a few weeks ago"
"I can tell, your accent gives you away" She teased "Emma Swan"
"Swan? As in Major and Sheriff Swan?" Realization hit him like a bucket of water "Oh... I'm sorry love, I just…"
"Please don't do that" She interrupted, Killian noticing that she tensed up "You're new here… so don't go crazy about my parennts just yet, please?" She bit her bottom lip.
"You're right… and I owe you one Swan… so, wanna walk to school with me?"
"Yeah, sure" Emma gave him a smile that reached her eyes.
That was the day that Killian Jones and Emma Swan started their friendship.
Four years later, Killian Jones and Emma Swan left to New York for college life, both wanting to escape their lives in Storybrooke.
