Her Everything

Chapter 1 - Moving on

Disclaimer: I own nothing, if i did well SQ would be canon right now.

I promised myself that i would never come back here, but three years later here i am in Storybrooke. Who am i kidding, it's not like i had much choice, it was either face my stuck up ex-fiancee or face the wrath of my best friend Mary Margaret for missing out on her wedding, unfortunately for me i chose the first. I haven't seen Regina since she broke up with me three years one hundred and six days ago, yes i still count the days but it's a habit or so that's what i tell myself.

When you grow up in small town like Storybrooke you tend to stay friends with the same group of people, through elementary school to high school or college. Me, Regina, Ruby, Graham and M&M as i like to call Mary Margaret for short, grew up together here. Graham left straight after college for Boston five years ago whilst everyone else apart from me stayed here.

I'm one foot through the door of the diner and i can already see two brunettes rushing towards me.

"I can't believe you finally came."

"I said i would."

Barely here two seconds and i'm already being crushed in one of M&M's bone crushing hugs with Ruby right behind her.

"About time Swan, never thought i'd see the day."

"I told you i was coming Rubes, like i'd miss out on the big build up to her big day."

Ruby always knew how to make me feel guilty, ever since i cheated off her history paper in seventh grade.

"I think what Ruby's trying to say Emma is were just surprised is all, you've been saying you'd come for the past three years."

"Exactly what i mean't, we always have to come visit you in Boston, by the way how is Graham, how's the new living arrangement going?" Ruby's wiggling her eyebrows mischievously at me, i swear sometimes i feel like were right back in high school.

"Still pretty new i mean we've only been dating just under a year and moved in together last month so... um yeah still pretty early."

"Yeah but he's been in love with you since we were like eight years old Emma, i think it's fate." Beamed M&M, she's very big on the whole true love and fairy-tale thing and that's down to her parents fault i think and their true love.

"Yeah but Em's fell in love with Regina in high school and i'm sorry M&M but i ain't ever seen Emma look at anyone else the way she looks at Regina not even someone as hot as Graham."

Oh great it is like being back in high school were there both arguing over who i should be going to prom with. Yes it's true Graham had always had a soft spot for me growing up but it was never mutual, so we just stayed friends. My heart belonged to Regina...and i guess part of me is scared that it still does, but she broke my heart and well when the job opportunity came up in Boston i grabbed it with both hands. Things with Graham just seemed to naturally develop, as lame as excuses go. When you've been single for two years in the city, well that can be pretty lonely place and well before i knew it, me and Graham started hooking up and things kinda spiraled from there.

"Earth to Emma."

"Sorry what did you say Rubes i kinda spaced out there for a second."

"I asked how long you and Graham were staying for?"

"Two weeks, till after the wedding and then we'll head back to Boston."

For a second i swear she looked disappointed but for who, me or Graham?

"Where is he anyway?"

"He was just dropping our stuff off at my dads house, he should be here any minute."

"Good maybe he can kick some sense into Killian whilst he's here."

"Still not asked you to move in yet?"

"No and we've been together for two years, i mean i'm starting to think he doesn't wanna be with me."

"He's crazy about you Rubes but i'll ask Graham to speak to him."

After a quick lunch with Graham and the girls, i ended up back at Ruby's place that she still shares with her granny. We needed to make some last minute plans for Mary Margaret's bachelorette party on Friday whilst she wasn't there. The next two days i spent catching up with close friends and family. I thought maybe Regina had decided to skip town or something but no i should of known i wouldn't be that lucky. I was just picking up a couple of things at the grocery store with Graham. The timing couldn't be worse, just as i was putting some vegetables
into the basket, Graham decides to get a little handsy by pulling me from behind and wrapping his arms tight around my waist, i swear i can see Ruby's granny giving me daggers from the chilled foods isle.

"Hmm babe, i was thinking we could have a quiet night in tonight, just...you...me...and that big comfy bed of yours." He said between kissing my kneck whilst rubbing just under my left breast.

"For one it's my dads house and i don't think he'd be happy with you defiling his daughter under the same roof and two..."

"..You're in a public place feeling each other up and i'm sure the Sheriff would be more than happy to arrest you both."

That husky voice...Regina

I detached myself from him immediately and turned around to see her and her little blonde minion slash slutty office assistant Abby standing by. Her hair was still dark but slightly shorter than her usual long waves. Regina barely looked at me, her eyes were too busy spit roasting Graham. If looks could kill well he'd be more than ten feet under by now.

"Why don't you carry on with the shopping dear and i'll join you in a minute." She smiled that fake politician smile Abby's way as the blonde practically skipped passed me.

"Um.. Graham, why don't you go get that bottle of wine you wanted to go with tonight's dinner."

"Are you sure?" He was looking between me and Regina, who was now rolling her eyes as if this conversation was beneath her.

"I'm sure, i'll catch up."

He looked once more at Regina as if giving her some silent warning before heading off in the same direction as Abby.

"Well i see he still follows you around like a little lost boy, somethings never change." She sniped.

"Oh and i see you're dating some new office hussy but then again you always like to have your fingers in all the pies." I shot back. I only new about Abby, Regina's latest squeeze from M&M, she never really liked me with Regina, even though she was both of are friends.

"And i see you're still your immature self."

"Listen, i get that you are pissed off that i'm with Graham but it's been three years Regina and at least i waited before i jumped into bed with the next person...oh wait no you didn't even do that did you!"

"You think i'm jealous of him?" She laughed that cruel laugh i knew she'd put on when she felt defensive.

"I'm finally happy again and i'm only here for two weeks. So please for M&M's sake i'm sure we can co-exist without ruining this special time for her."

I swear i saw her gasp as if i stung her for a split second before her regal poker face was once again put in place.

"For Mary Margaret's sake, fine."

I forced a small smile and turned off in the direction of Graham.

"You really are happy?" Her voice sounded so vulnerable and small, i turned around.

"I am and for what it's worth i hope Abby makes you happy." and in that moment i genuinely meant it, she may have broke my heart but we were friends way before that.

It's only as i turn back away i see a tear drop from her perfect now unmasked face.

"Ready to go babe."

Graham was back, wine in hand and mine in his other.

"Yeah, let's go."

I refuse to look back, my future is right beside me, a man who'd never hurt me and love me for as long as i'd let him, whilst my first love was behind me in my past. I couldn't open up wounds that took so long to heal no matter how much my heart ached for me to do so.

I was done.
