*Author's Note on bottom
Emma had detention for three days after her little episode. She couldn't argue with them for punishing her. She had left school grounds, ditched her classes, and punched Peter Kay. So she served her time without a fight. Emma couldn't help but find it funny. After serving time in the slammer, something as small as getting detention was like a kid in the time out corner.
Killian and Peter didn't get the same luxury as her. They were suspended from school for a week for fighting. With just how much fighting those two did you would expect them to get expelled at this point but Emma was reminded yet again that she was not in the city. Storybrooke only had one school and the next closest was in Bostin which was four hours away. So expelling them wasn't an option that the principle had.
"Why do they fight so much?" Emma questioned before taking a bite out of her hamburger.
Emma's question was directed towards Mary-Margaret but she was too busy staring at David to hear her. David sat across the lunch room with his girlfriend Kathryn wrapped around his arms. When Emma first met David, she hadn't known of his relationship status. It makes sense to her now that Mary-Margaret never made a move. She felt bad for her friend's unrequited love but there was nothing that they could do. Mary-Margaret was too gentle to try and break up a relationship for her own selfish desire.
Ruby, who was the waitress that Emma met back at the diner, heard her question and took it upon herself to answer. "They have been fighting for years. I don't remember all the details but I think it started after Peter held a party back in the eighth grade."
"A party? What? Did he not get invited or something?" Emma was only joking. She knew that people didn't fight each other for years because of something as simple as that.
Ruby went into a laughing fit after she made her comment. "As if! Killian doesn't care about something like that. A lot happened back then. Like I said, I'm not sure of all the details so I can't say for sure what started their fighting but if I had to guess…." Ruby trailed off as she her gaze drifted. Her face then twisted in sadness. "I think it had something to do with Liam."
"Whose Liam?" Emma knew that she shouldn't be asking. She should respect Killian's space and let him tell her in his own time but the thing is, she wasn't like Mary-Margaret. She liked to get as much information as possible no matter how low it makes her to obtain it. She had taken a chance on Neal and she wasn't going to make that mistake again with anyone.
Luckily for her, Ruby was a bit of a gossip. "Liam was Killian's older brother. He joined the Navy back when Killian was still a kid so they didn't know each other that well but he still came back to raise Killian after their father died. Their mother had been dead for years so Liam was all he had left."
Ruby paused. By the tone of her voice she knew that this was going to be a delicate topic so Emma leaned forward on her elbows. Ruby followed her in suit and when she spoke, it was in whispers. "Liam got into a car crash after picking up Killian from Peter's party. Killian lost his left hand and his brother that day. My guess is that he blames Peter."
Emma and Ruby didn't talk much after that. Mary-Margaret finally stopped drooling over David and started chatting away with Emma while Ruby's boyfriend, August, came over to whisk her away. Emma tried to pay attention to what Mary-Margaret was telling her but she found her thoughts drifting to a certain dark haired, leather loving man.
When she first saw Killian she immediately assumed that he was going to be like all those other jerks she had met before. The tall macho ones who think they are doing you a favor by giving you the time of day. When she heard that he got into regular fist fights she thought her assumption was confirmed. But then he was kind to her. Now her opinion of the man was all mixed up. She was filled with doubts. She wasn't stupid of course. She knew that just because he had a sad background didn't automatically deem him a good person. Everyone had a sob story. Still, she found herself thinking about him. She wondered what kind of man he was.
Mary-Margaret scrunch her eyebrows as confusion over took her face. "Is it just me or did your boobs get bigger?"
Emma smiled as she took a bite out of her hamburger. "It's just you." It wasn't. Her breast had been growing like crazy from her whole pregnancy. She needed to remember to stop by the store to get some bigger bras.
Maybe she'll talk to Killian when he returns to school.
