I listened to music and this happened.
I sat at the kitchen table drinking a beer; looking back, it may have been closer to three. I knew I wasn't going to be able to do this completely sober. I guess even Saviors need liquid courage. I put the pen to paper and then the words just came out. I just couldn't stop, I didn't want to. This had to happen. It was time for my happy ending.
Killian,
You are the safest bet I have. You love me, you love Henry and you are so good to me. Sometimes too good. I feel safe with you but that's it, that's all I feel. Safe. We've been together for a long time now, and you know all of my in's and out's. But everything is way too comfortable.
You are amazing Kili and I truly wish you the very best but I can't keep doing this to you or to myself. It wouldn't be fair.
I'm in love with somebody, Kili. God, I found someone who completes me. I'm in love with somebody and it's not you. I haven't told them yet, but I still can't be with you, not anymore. I'm sorry.
God, sometimes I wish you cheated on me, then leaving here would be so easy. It's time to take a chance and give you up.
I'm not scared cause I know there's something out there waiting for me.
I don't care if you call me crazy and curse my existence but I can't stay here cause I need room to breathe.
There's nothing left to say, Kili, I'd rather be sorry than safe.
Emma.
I sealed the envelope, slid it under his door and left without second thought.
I walked and walked for what must have been hours because when I finally noticed where I was, the sun had completely set. I took a moment to look up at the stars. Maybe they could give me the strength to do this. I looked up at the imposing door and knocked. I am the savior after all, and if I can't be brave enough to tell the person I love that I do love them, then I don't deserve the title.
I held my breath, I could hear footsteps getting closer and closer. My heart was in my throat and beating so fast I thought it would come out of my body.
The door opened and it felt as if it were only opening a centimeter and hour. Finally I saw the eyes I fell so hopelessly in love with.
Their name came out as I let go of the breath I was holding.
"Regina."
