She woke when her alarm went off, thankful that her sleep was uninterrupted. She leaned over the bed and hit the snooze button. She slumped back onto her mattress arching her back and interlocking her fingers above her head stretching her arms. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table, the red light was flashing telling her she had a missed call. The screen brightened revealing a notification window:

28 missed calls

13 messages

34 e-mails

She jolted up from the bed, what the hell had gone on? Scrolling through her call log, 7 calls from Ruby, 13 from David and 8 from different unknown numbers. She opened her messages and they were all from Ruby and David telling her to call them. She called Ruby first.

"Em, I'm just outside, come let me in."

"Okay, but…" Ruby hung up. She jumped out of bed, threw on her joggers and went to the front door, where sure enough Ruby was stood looking panicked.

"Ruby, what the hell is going on?" She said nothing but turned her IPad to face Emma. She had about 15 different tabs up, all celebrity gossip sights. She opened the first tab. Her mouth dropped at the headline.

Superstar Emma Swan caught making out with fellow artist, Killian Jones, at disastrous launch party.

She couldn't believe what she was reading, how the hell did anyone find out? She scrolled down the page, reading every word of the article. Everything that happened was in the article, her performance, Neal showing up, David knocking Neal out and her kiss with Killian. At the very bottom of the page, a picture of her and Killian filled the screen.

How did they get a picture, no press were in there? Ruby threw them all out… wait, no way. He wouldn't.

She looked at the picture again, it was from above, so they must have been on the balcony of the bar meaning they were out of the way of Ruby and David.

"Son of a bitch!" Emma walked into the lounge and slumped down on the sofa. She called David. He had no answers either.

"I'm sorry Em." Ruby muttered, she looked as angry as Emma.

"It's not your fault Ruby, you couldn't have known anyone was up there." She looked at every single gossip site she had up, every article was the same as the first

Rebound… Secret love… Future Mrs Killian Jones… Neal's long gone… Bound to get her heart broken… Playboy… Ladies' man…

"Oh god." She whispered, Ruby was off on the phone as she had been for the last hour or so whilst Emma read every word of the articles and stared at the photo.

"You okay?" She asked, covering the microphone with her hand.

"I'm gonna go call Killian."

She walked into her bedroom and shut the door behind her. She had no clue how this conversation was going to go but she had to speak to him.

She hesitated before pressing 'Dial'. She almost hung up after 3 rings but then his voice stopped her.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Killian it's Emma."

"Yeah, I do have caller ID, love." Her cheeks turned red, embarrassed by her stupidity. "Now, what can I do for you? Aren't you supposed to be about 30,000ft in the air right now?"

"Wait, are you telling me you haven't seen it?"

"Seen what, Swan?"

"Oh my god, okay, um…" She had no idea how to tell him.

"Hang on darling, there's someone at the door."

"No! Killian don't answer the door!"

"Emma, what is going on?"

"Oh god, okay look… please, please don't freak out."

"Emma, you're worrying me now."

"No, it's nothing that bad, somehow someone managed to get onto the balcony at the bar and nobody knew they were there and well, our kiss, it's all over the internet." She only just realised how fast she was talking and wasn't particularly surprised when he didn't respond.

"Um, okay, by all over the internet…" Ruby suddenly came charging into the room and grabbed her TV remote.

"Em, you need to see this." The TV turned on and there it was on GMA. She and Killian were plastered on the screen and everyone was talking about it.

"Crap. Killian, turn on GMA."

She heard him fumbling for the remote and then she was listening to Greg and Jenny in two places at once.

"So you meant all over the internet." He sounded half serious, but you could never really tell with him.

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it's not like it's your fault. So what do you want to do?" She waved her arm at Ruby to leave the room as she spoke.

"Honestly, I have no idea. I guess I'll talk to David and Ruby and you'll need to talk to your people and we will go from there." She paused a lot during that sentence, unsure of what to say.

"Em look, I want you to know that no matter what this thing throws at us I still want to be with you. I don't care how much press attention we get or how many fans go wild or even how my crazy family react. I want to be with you." She blushed at his words.

"Okay Killian Jones, let's do this."
