The girls had just finished getting dressed when Emma's phone rang. "What's up?"
"Where are you guys? I though you said to meet here at 10?" Walsh hated waiting.
Emma, confused at why he was upset, looks at her watch, '10:30'. "Shit! We are on our way, we will be there in 10, I'm sorry babe." Not wanting to upset him anymore and ruin their night, Emma loosened up her curls with her hands, and had the girls scurry out the door.
"Finally!" Walsh said while giving Emma her kiss and then waving to the girls. Looking Emma up and down he managed to form his words, "you look really nice." he whispers in her ear, making her smile, not really the reaction she wanted, but she took it. She wore a fitted black halter dress that hugged her body just right. She didn't bother telling him she borrowed the dress from Regina, there was no need to.
"Mary Margret! Over here!" David waved at his girlfriend, and her friends, to join him in the living room with Robin.
Regina and Mary Margret looked at each other a bit surprised to see that the boys knew each other and just shrugged it off. "Hey baby, you are already here. Good." Mary Margret hugged David then kissed him on the nose, making his cheeks turn red.
"Yeah Robin and I-"
Robin interrupts mid sentence, "Hello dear, nice to finally meet Dave's better half, and my Regina's best friend." He shook her hand and smiled. "Dave and I have Algebra together."
"Robin called me to invite me fifteen minutes after you had told me." David said, pulling Mary Margret under his arm to hold her. "Allow me to get you girls some drinks."
"Wow small world! Hmmm I wonder if Victor is here.." Ruby said while scanning the crowd of screaming frat guys, loud drunk girls, and groups of people dancing. "Seems like everyone cool and popular are here."
Walsh was getting bored of all the talking and decided he wanted alcohol, strong alcohol. "I'll be in the kitchen." He walked away with a quick kiss on Emma's cheek.
Emma liked Walsh, a lot. Loved him even. She knew he was a cool guy to be with, very fun and outgoing, not the smartest guy, but he had his sweet caring moments. Emma liked that he wasn't clingy, but she wished sometimes, that he could show more affection, rather than only wanting to have her as his, like some type of trophy. After some talking with Robin and getting to know the guy that made their friend happy, Ruby and Emma walked from the loving couples, and onto the dance floor. Ruby, wearing a tight strapless red dress with a bow on the back, and tall black pumps, twirled Emma around, bringing attention to the two. While dancing their third song together, Ruby feels someone tap her shoulder.
"Mind if I cut in?"
It was Victor Whale. Ruby's dream guy since junior year, wanted to dance with her.
"You're a life savor, I'm exhausted." Emma told him, smiling at Ruby. Emma wasn't tired, at all, but she knew that Ruby would have said no and not leave Emma alone. Besides, she should go find Walsh.
"Hey there." She said finally spotting him on the couch talking to some guys about some new game that had just came out.
"Hi."
"What have you been up to? Miss me much?" she said joking, laughing and went to hold his hand.
"I guess," he was distant, distracted by something. "Let's go outside?"
Once they were outside, Emma couldn't help but scold at him for acting weird. "What the is the matter with you tonight?!"
"Look, I don't need you talking to me like that. And where is your jacket? You shouldn't wear a dress that revealing without bringing something to cover yourself with." he said, more rude than anytime he's ever been. "Plus dancing to get other guys' attention with your little friends isn't okay with me. Have some class Emma."
She couldn't believe what he was saying, he had never talked to her like that, which is probably why her direct reaction was to slap him, hard. "What the hell is your problem?!" He yells at her, causing heads to turn at their direction.
"Don't you ever fucking talk about my friends or me like that again! I don't know what the hell your deal is, but you have no right talking to me like I'm some kind of possession of yours. It's over Walsh!"
Noticing that her friend is causing a bit if a scene and is in trouble, Ruby, Mary Margret, and Regina run outside to hold her friend back, leaving David, Robin, and even Victor to follow.
"Emma! Emma, let's go inside, we can get a drink or something." Regina said while her and Mary Margret held her shoulders trying to get her back inside, while Ruby is ready to tear Walsh's face apart, until Victor stops her.
"You need to go Walsh. Now." David yells at him, his brotherly instincts he has for Emma kick in.
They all manage to go back inside, Walsh gone, and music playing louder to try and hype everyone up.
"I'm really sorry Robin, I didn't mean to ruin your party." Emma apologizes, still fuming.
"Nonsense, parties always have drama, and it's over with, nobody will even remember." Robin was so kind, she can see why Regina was so into him.
She loved Walsh, they seemed so great together, happy, but she was not going to settle on being with someone who didn't respect her. She will get over it, eventually.
She took a couple more shots for the night and danced with her friends. After a dew songs passed, she walks up to where Mary Margret, David, Regina, and Robin have been standing and talking, "I think I am going to head home. Not really feeling the party spirit as much."
As if on cue, she heard "Damn, and here I was about to ask you for a dance."
"Killian!" Robin and David both said his name, which made her wonder, should I know him? "Emma, this is my roommate Killian." She smiled politely at him not wanting to be rude. "It was his bag my phone fell into at the gym." he turns to Regina when saying it.
"Aye, I apologize, I had left me bag in the car, so that was why we couldn't find it anywhere." Killian said to Regina apologetically, making Regina feel silly for worrying the whole day. "So, how about that dance, love?" He smiled. He had a smile that spoke for him, a playful, inviting smile that pulled her right in.
Without thinking, she nodded and was back on the dance floor beside Ruby, in front of him. He held her waist dancing in sync with each other. Emma loved dancing, she wasn't the best and could only do basic side to side, swing your hips moves, but she had fun dancing. Killian and her danced a couple more songs, drank a few beers and laughed at stupid jokes that David and Robin would make. She enjoyed the rest of her night with her friends, Killian joining in with the group a couple of times, but still, wasn't over the Walsh fiasco. She knew she had done the right thing ending it, but they were together for almost eight months, she was hurt.
"So lass, feeling alright?" Killian asked, flopping on the couch next to where Ruby and her were talking.
"Excuse me? I'm fine." Emma said confused as to why he would ask her that.
"Your little blow out with your boyfriend. Seemed to me like that just about ruined your night's mood. Sprightly one aren't you? That was quite the swing you gave him."
Ugh just when she thought this guy was kinda cool, he ruins it by getting in her business. Emma hated talking about her personal problems with people, she would only do that with the girls, and even that was very rare. "Don't you know better than to butt into other people's business?"
"Aye, sorry. Didn't mean to strike a nerve. Guess one isn't as rock hard tough as they appear." He knew that last bit would be enough to strike another one of the blonde's nerves, so he got up from the couch and was ready to head to his room. "Good night everyone."
Emma was glad the night had ended. What started out as seeking adventures, turned into a break up and an annoying guy trying to read her. Please don't make me see him again. She pleaded as if praying up to skies while she lye in bed.
