She was avoiding me for last two weeks. I knew that much. She said she's happy for me when she heard Hook proposed to me. She gave me a hug and then left. And I haven't seen her ever since. I could always see right through her and that's why I can say she was lying. She wasn't happy for me. And the question is why. Why doesn't she want me happy? I understand she's aching but after all we've been through… I would expect she would want me happy. I couldn't stand it any longer. First of all, I missed her. Second of all, I wanted answers.
I knew very well where she's hiding. I didn't even bother to look at home. Regina was surely at her vault. Maybe doing some voodoo ceremony. Ugh, this woman…
When I entered I knew she's there. Somehow I could always tell. "Regina?" I called to the darkness of her vault. No answer. That didn't surprise me. I went down the stairs and called again. No answer.
I reached the basement and saw her mumbling something while looking at her potions. "Regina…" I said again. This time she raised her head to look at me.
"Oh, hi, Emma," she smiled.
"No no, you don't hi Emma me! Why are you hiding here?!"
"I am not hiding," she replied and turned away from me, pretending to be very busy with her potions again. I didn't buy it. I invaded her personal space and turned her to face me with a firm grip on her arm. We were now very close to each other and I could see she's hurt. Of course she wore her mask but that never really worked on me. I could see right through.
"Then what exactly are you doing, Your Majesty?" I barked.
"Don't call me that, Emma…" she didn't spit it at me. It was more a plea than command.
"What is wrong? What did I do this time?" I tried different approach.
"You stole my happy ending," she sighed and released herself from my grip. She turned away and busied herself with the potions again. Those fucking potions were getting more attention than me.
"What? How can you say that, Gina. Just how…" I had to hold back tears. Those words ached more than all physical pain I endured. I reached for her arm again but didn't turn her around this time. It just lingered on her coat. "I am very sorry it didn't work out for you and Robin. Even though he was so not worth your time but that's discussion for another day. I am very sorry things ended the way they did. But you can't blame me for trying to have my happy ending… All I want for you is to have one. Why can't you be happy for me… it's not fair, Gina," I murmured.
"What?" she turned to face me again. Suddenly the potions weren't that important to her. "Emma, do you honestly think I said that because I am jealous?" she was shocked. "I said that because YOU are my happy ending. And I am yours. As wrong of a choice as Robin was, Hook is thousand times worse! He's so not worthy of you! Don't get me wrong, I am not either but…" she sighed. "You just deserve so much better than what's offered to you…" she was looking at the ring now. "So much better…" and with that she teleported herself god knows where with a purple cloud.
