Hey, everyone! I have a new chapter! Thank y'all so much for the follows and favorites and reviews! I really didn't expect y'all to like the story so much! Really quick before we get to the story, some of you didn't like that I changed Emma's brother's name to Henry. So I need your opinion. What should I make her brother's name and what should I make her ex's name? Thank you! Enjoy the new chapter!

The next day, Friday, Emma sat down at the lunch table and within minutes Regina and Ruby sat down by her. "Hey guys!" Emma said happily. Her friends exchanged a glance and Ruby said, "Is this Emma?" Emma giggled and responded, "Yes you guys, it's me." "It's so unlike you to laugh, wow," Regina teased.

Just then, Elsa came over with a girl they didn't recognize. Emma smiled and said, "Hey Elsa, and..." "This is Anna, my sister," Elsa explained. "Oh ok! I've heard a lot about you Anna," Emma said. Anna smiled at her and Elsa said, "She was homeschooled in seventh and eighth grade, and our mother gave up on trying to teach high school. Do you guys mind if she sits with us?"

Everyone shook their heads. "Not at all," Ruby said and scooted over to make room for Elsa and Anna. "Thanks guys! Elsa talks about you guys all the time," Anna said excitedly. Regina suddenly spoke up. "Hey I have to tell you guys something!"

All their eyes turned to Regina to hear what she was so excited about. "So you know the cute, new captain of the football team, Robin?" They all nodded. "Well I met him, and he's really nice! He's not a jerk like the football captains usually are. He told me that we should hang out more!"

Ruby squealed. "Oh my gosh Regina, are you serious?" Regina nodded quickly. "Yeah!" Emma smiled at her friend and said, "I'm so happy for you, Gina!" "Thanks, Ems," Regina said and then asked, "What's going on with you and your new boyfriend?"

Emma rolled her eyes. "He isn't my boyfriend! I just met him a couple days ago!" Ruby laughed and said, "You didn't answer the question!" Emma responded, "Well, he gave me his number, he came over to my house to help me with homework, and he met my parents and they both seemed to approve."

Elsa's jaw dropped. "No way!" "Yes way!" Emma countered. Ruby squealed again and said, "Emma that's awesome!" "Thanks," Emma said, "Have you guys met him yet?" "Briefly," Elsa answered. Regina suddenly spoke up. "I didn't know if I should say anything, but I have a class with him at the end of the day. I was talking to him yesterday and I asked if he was settling in and finding friends. He said that he met Robin and they were already good friends. That's how I got introduced to him. He also mentioned that there was a certain girl that he liked..."

Emma blushed as soon as Regina said that, thinking that he was probably talking about her. "Awwww," Anna said, "That's so sweet!" Ruby laughed, "I told you that he liked you!" Emma laughed.

Just then the bell rang and they all started to walk to class. They all had the same class this period so they walked together, talking about Emma's admirer. Then Emma got a call on her phone. When she saw it was her mom, she picked it up. "Hey mom, what's up?"

Emma's face suddenly fell. She started walking in the other direction. "I'll be there as soon as I can." She hung up and put her phone in her pocket. "Emma what's wrong?" Elsa asked, but Emma was too far ahead to hear.

Emma clearly wasn't paying attention to where she was going, because she ran right into somebody, and it just so happened to be Killian. "Sor-sorry," Emma stuttered. Killian noticed right away that something was quite wrong with her. "Emma, what's wrong?"

Emma sighed and said, "It's my- my dad. He-he got shot." A tear rolled down her face. He wanted nothing more than to pull her into his arms and hold her, but he didn't want to overstep his boundaries. "I've gotta go," she said while getting her things from her locker, "I've gotta go get permission to leave." She turned and started walking towards the office.

"I'll come with you," Killian said while walking after her. Emma turned around and said, "No, you'll miss your class." He laughed, "That's isn't a problem at all, love" Emma smiled, "Okay." As they walked towards the office, he put his arm around her shoulder, fully expecting her to shrug it off, but she didn't.

After getting permission to leave, Killian walked her out to her car. "Thank you, Killian," Emma said with a smile, "Thank you for caring." Killian smiled back at her. "You're very welcome." Emma hopped in her car and went to start it, only to discover that is was dead, again. Emma burst into tears.

"Could anything else go wrong?" She sobbed. She got out of her car and leaned against the door with her head in her hands. "Emma?" Killian said. Emma looked up at him with reddened eyes and tear-stained cheeks. "I can take you." Emma managed to ask, "You would do that?" Killian smiled, "Of course."

Emma was overwhelmed. She wanted to be happy about how Killian was helping her, but all she could think about was her dad. When they got to the hospital, she found her mother in the waiting room. Killian hung back as Emma ran up to hug her mom.

"Mom, how is he?" Emma asked nervously. Mary Margaret sighed and answered, "He's not the greatest, but they think he is going to be okay. He was shot in the shoulder and the leg, it would've been worse had it been closer to his chest." Emma breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can I see him?"

"He is in surgery right now. The bullet in his shoulder was so deep, they needed to perform surgery," Mary Margaret explained. "Oh," Emma said quietly, "Where is Henry?" "He's with Belle," her mother said, "She volunteered to watch him."

After talking to her mother for a bit, Emma realized that she didn't know where Killian had gone. "Hey Mom, I'll be right back," she said. She walked outside the hospital to see him getting in his car. "Hey Killian!" She called while running towards his car. He got out of his car and looked at her.

"How is he?" He asked. Emma sighed, "I think he's good. He is in surgery right now. My mom seemed to think he would be fine." Killian smiled, "I'm glad. I'm glad I could help you get here." Emma smiled. "Thank you." "Of course, love," Killian said.

Emma looked into his very blue eyes. She knew now. He wasn't gonna be like Neal. He cared about her. He wanted to help her. "Killian, you know how I said yesterday that I didn't want to start another relationship because of what happened with Neal?" He nodded. "Well, after today, I know you won't be like Neal. I want to try to, you know, make it work. If you want to, at least."

He smiled at her and responded, "I'd love to." He looked at her. He thought about his last girlfriend Milah who had been a lot like Neal. She had ditched him for someone else. She had sent him a few pleading texts since then asking if they could start over, but he didn't want to want to start over with her. He wanted to start with Emma.

"Are you okay?" Emma asked. "Yes, love I'm fine," he answered with a smile. He got a little caught up in the moment and he leaned in to her. Emma realized what he was pursuing and she started to lean in towards him too. They were only inches apart when Emma pulled back. "I don't think I'm ready for that yet," she said with a small laugh.
