AN: I know, I know. It's been a hot minute since I have updated but hey at least my muse decided to cooperate, with some help from my past. This is loosely based on my dating history. I hope you enjoy!

A Trip Through Exes Past(AU)

"I can't believe you ever dated this loser." I followed the voice to the other side of the open closet door to find my best friend Regina sitting on the floor looking at pictures. "Really, Em?"

I grabbed the photo from her outstretched hand and looked at it. Staring back at me was Walsh, my first ever boyfriend and my worst headache. We dated on and off for 2 and 1/2 years during high school and oh boy do I regret it. "You and me both sister," I chuckled. "He was my biggest headache during high school."

"I warned you but Emma always knows best huh? Emma knows everything," Regina says in an annoyed voice.

"I'm sorry okay. I was young and dumb and I fell for his stupid tricks."

"Stupid is right," she huffs.

"Hey nothing can compare to him," I say as I hand her a different picture.

"Oh my gosh. August Booth, Mr. You're My Girlfriend After One Date. Yeah, he's a close tie to Walsh," she says with a shudder.

"Yeah and we all know what he wanted in the end," I rolled eyes and chucked the picture back into the bin.

"What an ass?" she laughs, tossing the photo back into the bin. "Glad you didn't go on a second date with him."

"Again, you and me both sis."

"Well at least this one was not so bad," she comments as she stares at another picture. "I mean besides the fact that he wanted to control your life and all."

I grab the picture from her and chuckled. Neal was my current ex and the least troublesome of the the trio. He was nice but after a few months of dating, I saw his true nature.

He wanted to take control of my life as if we were back in the 1950s. He wanted me to stay at home instead of getting an education. He would get so angry whenever I mentioned getting a tattoo and even had even told me he would leave me because of it. He wanted us to be one of those couples where the girl would only do what her boyfriend told her to do and I didn't want that.

"I hope he found the right one," I shrugged and placed the photo back in the bin.

"Who knows?" Regina shrugged as she got up from the floor. "You sure know how to pick them, Em," she laughs as she walks out of the room. I closed the bin to my past and tucked it away, back into the darkness of my closet. I walked out to the living room and sat down on the couch next to Regina who had turned on Netflix.

Just as the movie was beginning, I heard the front door open and close. "Love?" a voice calls out, "I'm home!" Seconds later my fiancée walks in and smiles at us. "Having fun?" he smirks.

"Yeah, want to join us?"

"Let me just shower and I'll be back," he says as he places a gentle kiss on my lips. He walks away towards the bedroom and shuts the door.

"Now, Killian," Regina starts, "Is just right for you."

"I couldn't agree with you more," I smile.
