Im Sorry
SQ Tragedy
"Im Home!" I yell as I enter the great mansionwhere I send most of my nnights. I let out a small sigh of relief when I hear no reply. It means that Regina isnt here yat and I still have time. Today is the day of our aniversery and I, being the queen of procastination, hadnt done anything iin ppreperation. I hant forgotten. Oh no, I would never forget the day I fell in love with her. It was one the the best moments in my life. Its a memory engraved in my mind and it will stay here until death. Ill never forget those angry brown eyes.
"Youre Henrys birth mother?"
The chilly fall breeze hits my back and akerts me of my surrondings. Im standing in the door of the mansion still, lost in memories. I slip into the doorway and shed my tattered leather jacket on the floor. I know she wont like it but I leave it anyway. Its how I show her I care. I find myself in the kitchen
Its 7:59 now and I find myself staring out the window. Regina is always home by 8. I look through the glass onto the road. Its frozen over and you can see the shine of the ice if you turn your head at the right angle. Ive told her a million times to ban this road during the winter. My right hand absentmindedly fingers the crystal around my neck while the left goes for my cell phone. I dial her number, not even looking down at my phone. I bring it up to my ear and 7 dial tones go by before I here her voice chirp through the speakers
"Yove reached Regina Mills! You know what to do."
I hear a gasp. I think its my own but I cant tell because all that comes next is screaming. Im not standingat the window anymore and there's red and blue flashing in the sides of my vision. Im standing outside beside the road I was just looking at. What? How? Im pulled out of my by the loud yell of a car horn. Im suddenly aware of only one person. Regina. Shes standing in the middle of the road, walking as if everything is peaceful. The car is skidding and hurdling towards her. Regina! "REGINA! WATCH OUT" I scream but part of me knows she cant hear me no matter how hard I scream. Ive relived this too many times. I try to run but I cant move. "REGINA!" My voice is drowned out by the sound of the car brakes. I dont see what happens next. I dont want to. The scene is engrvaed in my memory too well. I open my eyes and shes just laying there. I feel my legs move and im sitting next to her in seconds. "Regina? Gina please!" I find myself screaming and shaking her unresponsive body. Those eyes that were once filled with anger and passion are now just blank and the skin that was so vibrant with life is pale as the snow around her. Its over.
Here lies Regina Mills
She was loved
12-24
I close my eyes and Im not on the road anymore. Regina's not in my arms and im on the floor of the mansion. My cheeks are stained with tears and I find myself craddling nothing but air. She's gone. She's gone but life sill goes on as if she werent even apart of it. People still go to their jobs and the sun still rises. The clock ticks on and the days on the calender are crossed off. I glance up at the calender and read the date thorugh watery eyes
December 24, 2015
This isnt the aniversery of the day I fell in love.
Its the day I lost lost hope
