Ok, part of this scene is an actual scene from OUAT I've just changed it to fit our context, if you've watched the music video it will all make sense :)
Enjoy...
Chapter 4: The Moments.
They walked in silence, Emma closing her hand tighter around David's hand every now and then, the man knowing she was just checking he was still there.
He watched Emma closely, pulling her away from obstacles she would otherwise have fallen over, since she was so deep in her own thought.
David sometimes wishing he could see what was going on in Emma's head sometimes, hoping he would be able to help her make more sense of everything.
Emma on the other hand wasn't paying to attention to anything particularly apart from the wind against her cheeks.
Whilst David thought she was planning what she wanted to say to him she was really just feeling the gust blow her hair backwards and leave a tingle in her cheeks.
Times like this made Emma feel alive, she could connect to every part of nature as her feet moved unconsciously forward, allowing David to be her trusty guide.
It took mere minutes for them to reach their usual spot, two benched adjacent to one another, David sat down on one, Emma still had her eyes closed, standing next to the other.
David watched warily as Emma walked up to the railing which overlooked the sea, his friend clasping her frozen hands onto the black guard rail and breathing in the sea air.
For over 15 minutes Emma just stood and let her senses be filled with everything around her, letting her mind become completely blank and her body relaxing.
She jumped as she felt a body move next to hers, David grasping her hand as he saw the panic dash across her features.
"It's just me. I was checking you were ok." David smiled, Emma nodded, her sense of calm had gone and her chest became filled with worry as she walked over to the bench.
"I just can't shake the feeling something bad is going to happen and I need to do everything I can to stop it…" Emma let go of her emotions, having no control over the words that tumbled from her pale lips.
David sighed, Emma had once told him that her biggest fear was losing him and Mary Margaret.
She had sobbed relentlessly as she vividly pictured and explained what it would do to her if the two people she could trust with everything in the world suddenly disappeared from underneath her feet.
'I would die!' Emma had screamed, pacing the apartment like a mad woman.
Mary Margaret had no idea how they had gotten onto the conversation, looking worriedly over at David who had even less of an idea as to what to do than his Wife.
'I couldn't live without you two, you keep me grounded and safe and you hold my head above water…'
Emma had paused for a second, Mary Margaret getting ready to run to Emma's aid if she needed her.
'I would kill myself.' She had simply said, before passing out on the floor, leaving Mary Margaret sobbing over her unconscious body.
"Emma, you can't think like that." David said, his voice was kind, but his message was stubborn.
Emma knew she was hard to live with sometimes, her depression and anxiety was a worry and a burden to everyone she knew, David and Mary Margaret included.
Only once had David ever lost his temper with Emma, that memory etched painfully into Emma's mind, reminding her that even her best friends saw her as a problem that needed to be fixed.
Emma hadn't eaten, drank or moved in over 4 days.
Mary Margaret had had to change Emma's soiled clothes when she refused to even get up to go to the bathroom.
David had come home to find Mary Margaret crying as she washed the bedsheets in the sink, David was more cross that Emma had upset his Wife than the fact she had done anything else.
He had shouted and screamed until Emma sat up and threw up all over the floor.
David had simultaneously broken down, holding the fragile girl in his arms and reassuring her everything was going to be ok and he loved Emma no matter how awful she felt.
"Bad things do keep happening." Emma argued, David sighing as he watched Emma's mind blow every tiny detail completely out of proportion.
"So do good things." David countered, taking Emma's hand in his own. "If you think like that, you'll miss out." He told her.
Many a time had he seen Emma brush over a good thing like it hadn't even happened, her mind only dwelling on the bad things that happened to her.
"There's more to life than just looking for the next fight." He brushed his free hand gently over Emma's cheek. "You know, you've gotta look for the moments."
David continued, seeing Emma had latched onto every word he was saying.
Her eyes so filled with hope that he tried to ramble on for a long as possible, trying to fill Emma with every confidence he could possibly find.
"Moments?" Emma asked, smiling as David laughed.
"Yes, moments. Life is made up of moments good ones and bad ones. But they're all worth living for." David told her, Emma nodding as she found the truth in what he was saying.
"Well, I seem to be a magnet for the bad ones." Emma felt her smile turning upside down, feeling her dark mind pulling her back inside her hole.
"All the more reason to look for the good moments between the bad ones." He grinned as Emma laughed.
Emma propelled herself into David's arms, so she was sat on David's lap.
"I need you in my life forever." Emma whispered in his ear.
"I'm going to be here forever you daft woman." David, kissed the side of Emma's face, rubbing her back as she clung to him closer. "Me and Mary Margaret are in it for the long haul, you know that." He felt Emma nod against his coat clad shoulder. "We'll always be there, even if I suck at getting you a date."
Emma laughed, letting David hug her closer.
"Now come on, me and Mary Margaret need to tell you something."
The last sentence stirring up mixed emotions in Emma's head.
