Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Once Upon a Time or Emma and Killian would have been married with babies already.
A/N: Any mistakes will be fixed tomorrow. Its one in the morning and I just wanted to post something for you guys. Sorry about the late update
"Wendy what are you doing here?" Emma questioned when she finally got over her shock. Wendy showing up was never a good sign for her.
"Well can't I my dear 'sister'?" Wendy smirked at her as she pushed past her and looked around the apartment.
Emma scoffed and shook her head, giving her an incredulous look. "Unbelievable. So now I'm your 'sister' am I?"
Wendy's smile dropped, the shine in her eye turning into a glare.
"Still holding that grudge are you? I'm acknowledging you now aren't I? You really should stop living in the past." She paused and scrunched her eyes. "You never seemed to care when I ignored you before—Oh wait." Wendy laughed. "Emma you can't seriously still be upset about that drama that summer. I told you I didn't know Neal had been your boyfriend, besides it didn't work out between us. I basically did you a favor."
Swallowing her snide remarks she gave her a tight smile. This really wasn't something she wanted to disgust. Neal was part of her past and that's where she wanted him to stay. Right now she just wanted to go out and have enough shots to get her wasted.
"Of course you did." She grumbled sarcastically "Now if you don't mind, I have somewhere I need to be."
"Oh where are you going?" Wendy asked, completely ignoring Emma's obvious hint for her to leave.
"Out with friends." Emma grit out impatiently. Gods she really didn't want to deal with Wendy today. Once upon a time she had been a sweet girl, but then she had gotten mixed up with some guy named Peter and everything had gone down hill.
"Alright alright I get the hint." Wendy smirked and sauntered to the door. "I merely came by to let you know I saw Killian at the bar last night with some gorgeous brunette."
Emma stiffened and quickly masked her emotions. No way was she going to let Wendy see how that information affected her.
"So? Killian always hooks up with girls at bars."
"Ah-huh, well darling I'm just giving you a head's up. You might want to start reeling him in before someone snatches him up. Sort of like Neal" She gave her a smile and nodded her head to the side. "Oh and your phones ringing, might wanna get that."
Emma balled her fists, digging nails into her skin creating crescent moon marks on her palms. God she was such a bitch, what she wouldn't give to just punch her in the face. Taking a deep breath, she unclenched her fists and smoothed out non-existent wrinkles on her dress. Hearing her phone go off signaling a voice mail, she went to grab it and saw it was Liam, most likely telling her he was outside. Not even bothering to listen to the voicemail, she stuffed it in her bag and walked to the front door.
She was going to forget everything tonight and just get drunk.
"Hey Liam can I borrow your phone to call Alice real quick?"
"Yeah just please don't accidentally call my cousin again. He still hasn't let me live that down." Liam sighed as he handed his phone to Cyrus.
"Thanks mate." He sang as he dialed a number, bringing the phone to his ear. "So as ecstatic as I am about going out with you and Emma, I must ask, did your git of a brother cause her to get this upset?"
Letting out a growl, he tightened his hands on the steering wheel. "Yes. To sum the whole bloody mess up, he promised to hang out with her last night, didn't bother to even have the decency to call her to cancel and spent practically the whole night with a woman he's dubbed as his true love."
Cyrus whirled his head to look at Liam, his hand dropping to his side (phone and all) and stared with wide eyes. "Not possible. Your brother, the biggest man whore to ever walk the earth falling for someone? That means-" He paused as he pondered. "Well I suppose that's….good. That means you have a chance now. Show her you're the better Jones. You've loved her for ages Liam. Tell her."
"Oh yes. That would go great. 'Hey Emma, I've been in love with you since high school. Forget my bloody git of a brother and go out with me.' Yes Cyrus that would go bloody perfect." Liam scoffed, his anger towards Killian slowly building up again. "I won't allow my brother to hurt her, but I don't want to lose her friendship. She means too much to me Cyrus."
Parking the car in front of Emma's apartment building, he scratched behind his neck. "Are you done with my phone because—"
"Fuck."
Liam closed his mouth and furrowed his brows. Cyrus face was pale and he was staring at his phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Liam, mate, don't hate me alright." Cyrus said quietly.
Liam felt his stomach fill with worry. "Why would I—Cyrus- What did you do?"
Slowly turning his head to him, he swallowed and eyed his phone. "I didn't call Alice."
Letting out a breath of air he wasn't aware he'd been holding, he chuckled. "Mate why would I—"
"I called Emma."
Liam paled, his smile dropping instantly and he felt his stomach drop and his heart stop.
"Say again?"
"I—accidentally called Emma instead of Alice."
Oh shit. Liam slowly turned his head and stared straight ahead, suddenly feeling nauseous.
"But don't worry, she didn't answer. It went to voicemail! All we have to go is get her phone before she hears it and delete it."
"Delete it?" He gave him a baffled look. "How are we going to—How in the seven hells did you even call her?!"
"I don't know! I must have hit your speed dial or something? Bloody hell I'm sorry alright. I swear I didn't mean to."
A knock at the window interrupted him and they both turned their heads to see Emma giving them a tight smile.
"Emma" they said in unison. She pointed to the lock on the door and Liam scrambled to unlock and open his door.
"I'll get the door for you Emma?" His intentions ended up turning into a question as he let the fear of her listening to his conversation get to him. She wasn't acting like she had heard any of his conversation in the car.
Emma stared at him, a small smile spreading on her face that led to a chuckle. "You didn't have to Liam."
He let out a cautious smile and opened the back door for her. "I'm a gentleman Emma."
"Oh of course." She rolled her eyes playfully and grabbed his hand as he helped her in the car before closing the door and getting in the front. Cyrus looked from Liam to Emma, and gave a slow smile. "Emma!"
"Cyrus." Emma grinned and leaned forward to give him a half hug. "Sorry, I'll give you a better hug when we get out. It's so good to see you."
"Its all good Em's. Good to see you as well" He murmured as he awkwardly hugged her back, trying to keep the panic off his face.
"Sorry for not answering you guys earlier. Wendy came by for a visit and I knew it was just you saying you were outside."
Both men in front perked up at that. That meant she hadn't listened to the message yet and they had a chance to get her phone from her to erase their conversation. They both glanced at each other and gave subtle nods.
"So Emma." Cyrus turned around and gave her a Cheshire cat grin. "Ready to take some shots?"
"More then ready!" She laughed, high fiving him and doing a little dance in her seat. "The past two days have been shit."
"Well here's to Operation Wasted Swan!"
Hoping you all will forgive me for how crappy and short this chapter is. Oh and how late I am at updating. I'm also very sorry there was no Killian in this chapter. He will be in the next one I promise! I'm not too happy with this chapter, but I've had people wanting an update, and I've been wanting to update all my fics but writer's block and lack of motivation has been hindering me. Not to mention work and life. Not a good combination for me.
Onto other things, for starters, I cant believe this story is half way to 300 followers. Oh my goodness. I never thought any of my stories would get this far. You are all so incredibly wonderful and I'm so sorry you have to put up with me taking so long to update. I'm going to update much more, but the chapters will be a tad bit short unless motivation hits back up full force.
Second, if you're one of the people following 'You're Gonna be Mine', that story will still be updated, I havent started the next chapter, but it wont be abandoned. If you sent any positive review for that one THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You're all the reason that story is still going to continue.
Third, I know Wendy is being a bitch, she'll change later, maybe, and anything that confuses you will be explained later down the line. Also, I am using a scene from a show called Baby Daddy, if you watch the show, you'll know which one :)
Forth, I know you all will hate me, but I am brimming with excitement because I got 4 day passes to SDCC2015, and I'm praying Colin goes because I missed him by five minutes this year, but that wasnt really what I was getting at, because of that excitement, I...sort of started a new story, that wont be posted until next week. I'm sorry guys! I cant stop my muse! It has a...mind of its own, but dont worry, I'll update 'Love me Instead' next!
Fifth, [and final thing I promise!] After 'Love me Instead' I'm leaving it up to you guys to tell me which fic you want updated next! So leave a review and tell me which one to get back on!
I hope you all are having a great day/night! Love you all and so sorry about the late reply!
