Okay so Graham is alive because the curse basically made Storybooke the way it was during the curse. So I just made it so Graham alive because well I really liked him! Please make sure to review. This chapter was a little hard to write, so maybe we'll like it? Lots of Captain Swan in this chapter and Graham gets it put to him! (BAM!) Anyways, I hope you enjoy! (: -KH

I blink my eyes open. I am lying on a bench on the beach, soaked to the bone. I shiver and sniff. I'm sick. That's what I get for staying out in the rain-I pause. Last night flashes back to me. I feel fresh tears well in my eyes and I hold them back. You have to move on. I stand up and pull out my phone. Thankfully it still works. I call into work that I can't come in. I feel the sickness in my chest.

I start to walk home when I hear a voice call up next to me. "Hello Ms. Swan," He says. A shiver floats up my spine. I look and see Killian. He's in a light grey sweater and faded jeans and boots walking next to me. "Hi," I say. My voice is hoarse from crying and I cough. "You alright love?" He asked. "No, I slept in the rain all night." I say. "Why?" He asks stopping. The thought forces tears from my eyes. "I'm sorry," I say turning away. "No, you're fine," He says.

"Graham cheated on me." I say simply, painfully. His eyes widened. "And I caught him last night...on our anniversary." I said. The tears come freely. "I just-never mind," I say shaking my head. "No, he's a dick for doing that to you." He said. I looked at him. "Well fool me once shame on him, fool me twice shame on me." I say walking away.

I slammed the shot down. Lacey, Ruby, and I were knocking back shots like it was nobody's business. I was probably the most drunk out of us all but they weren't too far behind. "And another thing, men do not understand our needs!" Ruby said. I nodded. "I mean, if I need tampons, buy my the fuc-" I stopped when I saw Killian. He was with some girl. I narrowed my eyes. She giggled and flirted flipping her hair. He was flirting shamelessly right back with her. Graham and I had been separated for what almost a month? He was with Regina and happy, so why couldn't I be happy?

I stood up. Boosted by my liquid courage, I tried to walk but stumbling. I fell right onto Dr. Whale. He smiled devilishly. Dr. Whale, although my boss, had been basically trying to get in my pants for the past month. Everyone knew, because the guy didn't seem to understand that I had JUST broken up with Graham and men probably weren't on my 'happy fun' list. "Woah there sweetheart," Dr. Whale basically purred in my ears. I tried to stand back. "Maybe I should take you home," He said with a wink. "No. I can make it home myself," I slurred. "Really?" He asked. "I'll take her." A voice I dreaded hearing say. Graham walked right to me. Dr. Whale narrowed his eyes. "Hey both of you, hands off," Ruby said. Dr. Whale widened his eyes.

He walked over to Ruby and started flirting. I stepped back and looked at Graham. "Graham," I said with a sad voice. He smiled. "I want to try again," He said. I gave him a right hook right into the face. "That's for cheating on me." I said in a low growl. He looked at me, eyes narrowed. "You're under arrest. You and that guy." He said. I saw Killian sitting in his car. "Why's he under arrest?" I asked. "He's drunk too." He said. I groaned as he dragged me out. He cuffed me and threw me into the car next to Killian. "Ello Love," He drawled as I sat in the car.

I looked at him with an expression pleading for silence. He recognized it and nodded. Graham got in the car. Awkward tension. I looked at Killian for a moment before realizing something. "Why are you here?" I whispered softly. "NO TALKING!" Graham almost shouted. He nursed his bruising jaw. I instantly scooted closer to Killian. I managed to pick the lock of the cuffs with an extra bobby pin I had in my pockets. I passed it over to Killian, minding his well, not good hand. He nodded and quietly began to pick the lock. I sighed as he nodded to me.

Graham looked at me. "Do you want me to take you home?" He asked quietly. I glared. "What the hell Graham? You publicly embarrass me, and say you're arresting me, and then offer to take me home? Screw you. No. Take me to jail you jackass." I say angrily. He sighs. "I-I'm sorry Emma. For all of it," He says softly. "You chose her. Live with that. I don't give a damn anymore Graham. You're just like Neal." I say bitterly. He looks at me saddened. "Em-," He said. I had had enough. "Just stop, okay? I can't-" I say shaking my head. He sighs. "Fine." He says. "I'm just done with you Emma. I just-It was never going to work anyways, with me and Regina," He says. "I get it. You have a chance to be happy with her right? I just wished you had been honest with me from the beginning, because I actually loved you." I said. "Loved?" He asked. "I don't love you anymore Graham. There's nothing for me to love. You're lucky that I care enough to even talk with you. I could just ignore you. Or not talk to you at all. But here I am, talking, and maybe it's the alcohol, but I think deep down you're really unhappy. I think you don't know what you want and I don't know if you really know what you want. But when you figure it out, when you realize the mistakes and people you've hurt, I think you're going to realize, we had something good, and no matter what you say or do, we are never getting back together." I finish.

He doesn't speak. He doesn't beg for me back, but did I expect him too? Did I truly expect for him to crawl back to me? No. I wonder if I would ever be the Emma who smiled at everyone and was genuinely happy. Graham pulls into the station. Either he doesn't notice or care about the cuffs, and just shuts us in the cell. Killian is in the one beside me and I am in my own. I take the cuffs off. "How did you," Graham asks. "I had a bobby pin. I did his too. You're not that intimidating." I said with a shrug. "Fine. Um you guys will be out in the morning. Just-don't get too comfy." He said.

"Where are you going?" I ask. "Home..." He says. He means to Regina. "Tell her I say hello." I say with a shrug. He sighs, nods and heads out the door. I chuckle as I hear his car start as he drives away. I take the bobby pin back out, pick the lock and leave the cell. "Bloody brilliant lass," Killian says with a wide smile. I pause, for a moment.

I go into his cell and sit down. "Much better." I say. "Why didn't you-" He goes to ask. "I didn't want you to leave. Graham would get in trouble and well-I still don't want him hurt." I say. "Darling, try something new. It's called trust. I wouldn't have left." He says. I blink and suddenly, I'm not there, no, I'm on top of a bean stalk.

Killian leapt down from the beanstalk and brushed off the dirt from his pants. He turned back to me and held out a hand. I hung onto the vines of the beanstalk with one hand, and gripped his hand with my free one. I took his hand and he helped me jump down from the stalk. I looked at the ruins and gasped softly. "What happened here?" I asked softly. "It's where the final battle was." He replied. "Give me your hand." He said quickly.

"What?" I asked confused. Hook looked to my hand. "Your hand-it's cut. Let me help you." I shook my head. I saw the blood beginning to drip. "No, no. It's fine." I protested. "No, it's not." Hook took my hand against my will and, drawing me close to him, he inspected it carefully. I breathed in his scent. The ocean. Rum, salty air, a mix

I gave him a weak dark glance. "So, now you're going to be a gentleman?"

Hook leaned in close and whispered, "Giants can smell blood. And I'm always a gentleman." He drew a small bottle out and uncorked it with his teeth, spitting it back on the ground, and poured it all over my bloody hand. It hurt like hell. "What the hell is that?" I growled.

"It's rum." He answered simply. "And a bloody waste of it." He removed his scarf from around his neck and wrapped it around my stinging palm. "Now, here's the plan: We wait for the giant to fall asleep. And when he does, we'll sneak past him into his cave. It's where the treasure lies-where the compass is."And then?" I asked training my eyes on his.

"And then we run like hell." He whispered in her ear. I leaned back a little. "I don't have time to wait for a giant to fall asleep." I said defiantly. He laughed a little at my rebellious tendencies.

"The powder Mulan gave us-we can to use it. We have to knock him out." I said.

Hook cocked his head to the side. "Well, that's riskier." He said in a bland voice. No adventure for him today. "Riskier than waiting for a giant to fall asleep?" I asked.

He looked down at me, his eyes straying just a little too far down to my lips for a second too long, and grinned. I supressed a shiver. "Point taken." He said. "You're a tough lass. You'd make one hell of a pirate." He said with a smirk. I let go of him and looked at his wrist. "Who's Milah, on the tattoo?" I asked, looking to the name written on his wrist in a red heart. Hook averted my eyes and walked away, going past me. "Someone from long ago." He said in a sad yet stern voice. I blinked softly. "Where is she?" I asked quietly.

"She's gone." He responded shortly, bitterly, and most importantly sadly.

I paused to think. "Gold," I breathed. "Rumpelstiltskin. He took more than your hand, didn't he?" I asked sadly. "That's why you want to kill him." I deduced.

Hook turned on me angrily and snapped. "For someone who's never been in love, you're quite perceptive, aren't you?" I stopped as he walked away. "Maybe I was-once." I said.

I grabbed the bag of poppy powder from Hook's satchel and perched myself atop a statue near the entrance of the castle. I breathed deeply, feeling the height affect me. Hook, still on the ground, dragged a bone to a large metal shield. "You ready?" He asked. I nodded, lying, and Hook banged on the shield with the bone, the noise vibrating through the whole courtyard. Footsteps thundered, shaking the ground. I gripped the neck of the statue and held on. When I looked back up, the giant was there, right in front of me, looking around. "Oh, damn it." I whispered.

Hook slowly led the giants towards the direction of the statue. I prepared grabbing the bag between my hands. "Hey! You big git!" The giant looked down. "Yeah, you. You want to kill a human? Huh? You want to kill a human? Well I'm the worst human around!" Emma raised one eyebrow as he spread his arms wide. "So come on, then!" He yelled. I tried not to laugh, but I couldn't help it. I giggled softly. I caught his eyes and he smirked.

Enraged, the giant grabbed at Hook and swung his face toward the statue, and I quickly through the bag in his face. The poppy powder exploded into the air, shimmering into the air. He fell to the ground, unconscious, but Hook was nowhere to be seen. I turned my head wildly to catch sight of him. What if he was hurt? Or worse... "Hook?" I called. "Hook!" I yelled again. Suddenly, he appeared out from under the giant. "He's out cold." He smiled at me. "I don't mean to upset you, Emma, but I think we make quite the team."

I blinked. "Emma," He said. I shook my head. "Sorry, I just got a weird thought, might be the alcohol," I said. He cocked his head. I laughed. "I'm pretty sure we never fought a giant, and you never had a hook, so," I said with a laugh. His face was serious. "Yeah," He said. I looked at his wrist. "Milah was her name? Gold-what did he do to her?" i asked. "He did something to both of you." He said. I looked at him. He shook his head. "But to her," I said. "He killed her." He admitted. I blinked. I knew that.

I crawled over to him and hugged his body. I was settled between his legs and closed my eyes. His arms came around my waist. "Come back to me Emma." He whispered. "Killian?" I asked looking up at him. "Yeah," He asked. "You're a good friend." I said softly. He smiled. "You are too love. We could be friends with benefits," He said. I laughed. "Maybe one day soon." I said nodding.
