Disclamer: Once Upon a Time characters don't belong to me
As the day goes by, Emma sits in her office, bored as fuck. She's almost asleep, when she hears a pounding on the door. In comes Regina, fuming as usual.
"What now?" Emma groans.
"What do you think? Gold and his dumb ass comments!"
"He's just being... well, him. You need to get over it. It's taking over your life."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Regina growls as she gives her girlfriend the death stare.
"It means that I'm sick of not seeing you smile. I want you to be happy, I really do, and being pissed at Gold when he's just going through a hard time is not gonna help."
"Well thanks for the help," Regina says as she storms out.
Emma runs after her, "Wait, Regina!"
"No! No more waiting, Emma! I just want someone to understand!"
"I can't understand if you don't let me," Emma says calmly.
"Gold... he... he said... things about us..."
"Like what?"
"That you're a runner and that eventually you'll leave me just like everyone else. He's the only one who really understands me, Belle left him, in the pouring rain, and he says that's what you're gonna do to me."
Emma just stands in the middle of the street. Gold is right, she is a runner, but she wouldn't run from Regina, would she?
"Well say something," Regina growls.
"I... Do you want the truth, or the lie?"
Regina's eyes fill with tears as she turns to walk away. "I never thought about it until now," Emma says.
"But now you're going to."
"Who said I was? I'm sorry, I was thinking, I was confused."
"Then stay that way... and don't bother telling me when you figure it out. I don't want you anymore."
"Regina, I'm not gonna leave you."
"Then I'm leaving you."
The words struck Emma right where it hurt the most- the heart. A few months ago, when she started to have feelings for Regina, she blocked them out for a reason, she knew she would just screw it up. "You fucking idiot," she says to herself.
