No good boyfriend- part 2
A guest asked for a oneshot of a sequel to Ch985 "No good boyfriend" where Alexander begs Emma for a second chance. She gives him one but against her parents, aunt and uncles wishes. When she goes out with him again they fight and he beats her up and leaves her abandoned in the middle of nowhere. By the time Emma gets home it's the early hours of the morning and everyone is waiting, worried. Emma cries that he left her and by that time her eye is swollen shut and her cheek is also swollen. Everyone is furious with Alexander. Guest who asked for him trying to force her I've added that in too. Remember folks: domestic abuse- there's no excuse.
Emma tied together the ends of the ropes she'd fashioned out of the bedsheets. If her parents weren't going to let her see Alexander again she'd have to sneak out. Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Emma loved him, and deeply believed she could change him. Believed it was her fault, that she'd got him angry. Maybe she had to work on frustrating him less and being more open as to how far they went. Emma flung open her window and carefully tossed one end of the rope out and prepared to sneak off into the night…
Seven hours later
"Right, we have our search areas set out. We need to find her as quickly as possible." Charming said. He and Snow had gone to check on Emma t just over an hour ago as she'd been very quiet the whole night and found the rope still attached to the windowsill. They quickly worked out what was going on and summoned Red and the dwarves to the palace. It was already past one am.
As the group were preparing to head off, they heard the main entrance door shuddering open and shut. They ran out to the hall and were greeted by a terrible sight. Snow's hands flew to her mouth and Charming's hands clenched into fists. Emma was at least home, but she was not a pretty sight. Her left eye was already swollen shut by her swollen cheek. Her dress was torn in several places, and the group could tell the story just by looking at her. Emma did not have to tell them in words.
"He left me." Emma whimpered. "We fought and…he left me. Right in the forest. I got so lost and, and…"
"Shh." Snow said, coming forward and wrapping her arms around Emma. "I'm so glad you're home now…"
"I'll kill him!" Charming bellowed with bloodcurdling rage. "He was warned what would happen if he laid his filthy paws on my daughter again!" Charming grabbed his sword and went to find the bastard, but Emma caught his arm and wouldn't let him leave.
"Don't go." She begged. "I need you." Charming looked at his daughter, torn. He desperately wanted to go and find Alexander and match Emma's wounds blow for blow. But the terrified, traumatised look in her eyes…Charming couldn't leave her like this.
"I'm not leaving baby." He promised, coming over and creating a group hug with Emma and Snow. "It's ok." But as he said it, he caught eyes with Snow over Emma's head. That someone could do this to their daughter was the furthest thing from ok.
