I am so sorry I didn't update on Wednesday. I've had a very busy week. Updates should be normal now, it just depends on how busy I am during the week.

I got this story idea from Taylor Swift's song "Speak Now."

Thank you so much for all the follows, reviews, and favorites!

I do not own OUAT or its characters.

Speak Now

Killian pulled Emma into a hug. "I'm so happy for you."

Emma smiled and pulled away. "Thanks. It's good to know that I have your support."

"My support? You're getting married! Of course you have my support," Killian exclaimed. Even though he meant it, he didn't want Emma to get married. He felt so guilty because of it. She had been dating Neal for the past two years, it was bound to happen one day, he just wasn't ready for it.

He had been Emma's best friend since high school. Then they went to college together and with some other friends. He knew that it was time to start the next phase in his life, but he didn't want to do it without Emma, but it looks like he would have to.

Emma came over to his apartment that morning and told him that Neal proposed the night before. They were getting married in July, eleven months from now.

Emma smiled. "Thanks… again."

Killian smiled at her.

Emma's phone rang. She pulled it out of her pocket and checked the caller ID. She looked up at Killian. "I gotta take this. It's Neal."

Killian nodded. "Go ahead."

Emma smiled at him and answered her phone. She walked into the kitchen to get some privacy, but Killian could hear her laughing as she spoke to Neal.

He wanted to tell Emma how he felt about her, but he knew he couldn't. He couldn't ruin her life.

Killian sighed and put on a smile when Emma walked back in. These next few months were going to be terrible.

8 months later

Someone banged on Killian's door.

Killian rushed over, wondering who it could be. He opened it and worry immediately filled him.

Emma was standing on the other side of the door, her face was wet with tears and more were still coming. She was breathing heavily due to her crying.

"Emma, what happened?" Killian asked, letting Emma in and closing the door. As soon as he turned around, he pulled Emma into a comforting hug. "What is it, love? What happened?"

She didn't answer right away, but when she did answer, she said, "N-Neal."

Killian tightened the hug. If that man did something to Emma, he was going to pay. "What about him?" he asked in a calming voice.

Emma pulled away. She wiped her eyes.

Killian led her over to the couch and they sat down. Killian took her hand and ran circles on the back of it with his thumb. He wasn't going to push her.

After a few minutes of catching her breath, Emma finally began to explain, "This morning… Neal and I were making the guest list for our wedding and I… I said you, of course. I thought it was obvious that you were invited, but… I was wrong." She took a deep breath. "Neal… he doesn't want you to… come to our wedding."

Killian sat there for a moment. He didn't want to go to their wedding, but wanted to support Emma, so he always planned on going. "Well… I don't want to cause problems-"

"No, Killian," Emma said. "You did nothing wrong." She took another deep breath. "I asked Neal why he didn't want you coming… and he said that he sees the way you look at me and how I look at you. He said that even though he knows I love him, you loved me, and he doesn't want that at our wedding."

Killian blinked. "W-what?"

"I know. It's ridiculous. I told him the truth: that you and I were just friends and it was nothing more. I told him that I loved him and you were just a good friend. He said he believed me, but he still doesn't want you to go."

"What about you?" Killian asked. He truly wanted to know.

Emma looked into his eyes. "Of course I want you to go. You're my best friend."

Killian moved his hand to Emma's cheek. He didn't know what he was doing, he just did it. He leaned forward and closed his eyes.

Emma didn't move. She sat, wide eyed. As soon as his lips touched her's, her eyes closed. At first, she just sat there, but then she moved her hand to his cheek.

Suddenly, Emma pulled away. She shook her head.

"Emma, I'm sorry-"

Emma shook her head again and looked at him. Tears stung at her eyes. "No, I am. I'm engaged, Killian."

"I know, but I needed to let you know how I felt."

Emma stood up. She shook her head. "Neal was right." Then she was out the door.

Killian stood up, ready to run after her, but he stopped himself. Emma had a life for herself; she needed to take it, but he couldn't stop himself from feeling betrayed.

Emma entered Mary Margaret and David's apartment. She didn't even knock.

As soon as she heard Emma, Mary Margaret was in front of her. Mary Margaret frowned at seeing the state her sister-in-law was it. "What's wrong?"

David walked in next. "Emma? What's the matter?" He came up to her and pulled her into a hug. Mary Margaret joined in the hug.

Emma's sobs became more violent as she broke down into the hug.

Mary Margaret and David tightened their hold on Emma.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Mary Margaret asked.

Emma nodded and pulled away. She walked over to the couch and sat down. Mary Margaret went into the kitchen and started making hot cocoa while David went and sat next to Emma, trying to comfort her.

By the time Emma had a mug of hot cocoa in her hands, she had stopped crying and had told half of the story. She had gotten to the part when she got to Killian's apartment.

"... and then I… I left," Emma finished.

David kissed the side of Emma's head and rubbed her arm. "I am so sorry."

"What… what do I do?" Emma asked.

Neither Mary Margaret nor David knew what to say. They just hugged onto Emma tightly.

1 month later

Killian opened his mail box and pulled out his mail. He walked back upstairs to his apartment and sat down on his couch.

He went through the mail and tossed aside the usual stuff.

He was about to throw another envelope to the side, when he noticed his name written across it in familiar handwriting. Pain tugged at his heart. He knew he might see this soon.

He tore open the envelope and read the paper inside it:

Killian Jones,

You are invited to the wedding of

Emma Swan and Neal Cassidy

He didn't read the rest of it. He sat it down on the couch next to him.

It had been a month since Killian had kissed Emma, and they hadn't spoken since. He honestly didn't know if he was going to be invited to her wedding, but he didn't care anymore. He wasn't going. He wouldn't be able to handle the pain.

Killian grabbed the invitation and threw it in the trash can.

2 months later

Emma ran her hand over the front of her dress, trying to get the wrinkles out of it.

"Stop fussing over it, Emma," Mary Margaret said, finishing up on Emma's hair. "You look beautiful."

Emma turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. She had been waiting for this day her entire life, she just thought she would be more… happy.

"What is it?" Mary Margaret asked, noticing Emma's change in mood.

Emma shrugged. "I don't know."

Mary Margaret smiled. "You're probably just nervous. It happens to every bride. It happened to me."

Emma nodded. "Yeah. That's probably it." She honestly didn't know what was wrong. Maybe it was the fact that Killian wasn't coming. He hadn't RSVP to the wedding or the reception, and they had only spoken briefly since the kiss.

"Emma, you ready?" Ruby asked as she walked in. "It's time to go."
Emma smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm ready."

Killian stared at the wall. He had gotten dressed up to go to the wedding, but he didn't know if he still wanted to go.

Okay, that was a lie. He already knew that he didn't want to go, but something made him get in his suit and in his car. Something made him drive down to the wedding chapel. Something made him get out of his car and walk through the wedding chapel, searching for Emma. It was when he found the room that he knew what to do.

Emma smiled at Neal as David walked her down the aisle.

Neal smiled back at her.

As soon as they reached the altar, David kissed Emma's forehead and let her walk up the two steps to stand next to Neal.

The officiant started to recite the wedding script.

Emma wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying, she was looking at Neal. She was thinking about how many good times they had together and how there was going to be a lifetime more of them. She thought that that would make her happy, but it didn't.

"... before we move forward, if anyone objects to the wedding of Emma Swan and Neal Cassidy, make yourself known or forever hold your peace," the officiant said.

There was a moment of silence, and then the door to the chapel opened.

Everyone turned and looked back to see who it was.

Killian walked in. He walked down the aisle and said, "I object."

Emma didn't know what to do; smile or glare.

Neal, on the other hand, knew exactly what to do. He stormed down the two steps and down the aisle to Killian. "You better leave right now," Neal said. "Emma told me what happened. She told me what you did to her."

"What I did to her?" Killian sounded offended. "I didn't harm her. I would never do that."

"It doesn't matter what you will or won't do. She's my wife."

"Not yet." Killian walked past Neal and up to the altar, pausing before walking on to it. He looked at Emma, his eyes full of love. "Emma, I-" He didn't have the chance to say anything else because Emma took off running. She ran back down the aisle and out of the chapel.

"Emma!" Neal shouted. He ran after her, leaving a room full of shocked friends, and a heart-broken Killian, behind.

Neal found Emma sitting on the steps at the back of the wedding chapel. He went over and sat down next to her. "Emma-"
"I don't think that this is going to work," Emma said, quickly.

Neal stilled. "W-what?"

Emma looked at him, tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I just… the past couple of months haven't been good between us. We've fought and-"
Neal took Emma's hand. "That doesn't mean-"

Emma stood up. "I know what you're going to say, but please don't."

Neal stood up. "Em-"

"Just give me some time to think about this." She gave him a pleading look.

Neal nodded and took a step back. "Okay. I'll go tell everyone."
Emma nodded and sat back down while Neal walked away.

A few minutes later, someone sat down next to Emma, and she knew who it was.

"I'm sorry, love," Killian said.

Emma shook her head. "You don't need to be sorry."

"Yes, I do. I ruined your wedding day. I just… I couldn't stand the thought of-" He was cut off by Emma grabbing the collar of his jacket and kissing him.

Killian responded immediately by putting his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.

When they pulled away, Emma said, "You showed me who I really loved. You."

Killian smiled. "And I you."

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
