Hey! Sorry I took so long to upload this. I'm not gonna lie writing this chapter kicked my ass. Between writers block and dealing with my own shit I forgot where exactly I was planning on going with this.

So yeah, this might be the last chapter. Unless my muse shows back up and slaps me with some ideas. But anyway, I hope you enjoy!

Emma burrowed into Regina's warm arms. Tears fell down her cheeks staining the brunette's shirt. A violent sob tore from her chest. Emma leaned her forehead against Regina's neck as she reached up to tightly grip the older woman's sleeve.

Regina hummed softly as she gently ran her fingers through the long blonde waves resting against her. Tenderly she traced random shapes onto the damaged woman's shoulders. The former queen quietly waited for Emma's breathing to calm. The two sat curled together unaware, and uncaring, of how much time had passed.

"Emma, what the Hell were you thinking? Do you realize how upset Henry or your parents would be if they were the ones that found you? How much they...I need you? Oh Emma..." Regina tightened her hold on the trembling blonde. The older woman lightly brushed her lips across Emma's long curls.

"I swear it isn't what you think!" Emma's voice came out cracked and muffled against Regina's chest. "I am so sorry. But I swear I wasn't trying to...kill myself...I promise I didn't mean for it to go that far! Please believe me Regina..."

"Then what were you trying to do Emma? Because it looks like you were attempting just that." Regina slowly rocked the blonde in her arms. Her eyes stinging with unshed tears. But she held them back. Emma needed her to be her rock, and she knew she wouldn't be able to be that if they were both falling to pieces.

Emma sobbed, clinging to Regina as if she were the only thing holding her together. The savior's throat felt tight, making it feel as if she could hardly speak. "I'm so sorry Regina! It's something I have done since I was back in the system. I just...I felt like I needed to. One moment I feel fine and the next I feel so damn numb and angry. I wanted to cry and break stuff, and scream, and fight. I don't even know what triggers it half the time. I needed to cut. Don't be mistaken, I don't want to die. I just wanted to feel like me again."

The younger woman swallowed hard, timidly lifting her head from the brunette's shoulder. Emma quickly scrubbed the tears from her cheeks saying, "I didn't mean to scare you Regina. I didn't want anyone to see me like that. I am so sor-"

Regina interrupted the blonde, and gently cradled her Emma close.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence Emma Swan! You do not have to apologize for the way you feel. Yes, I would rather you not ever do that again. But that doesn't mean you should be ashamed. You can't control what you feel. But please, don't forget that you have people who love you. You have Henry, your brother, your ever nauseatingly optimistic parents, and..." Regina trailed off biting her lip. Emma's quiet sniffles and shaky breathing echoed around them. "And me. You've got me Emma. You don't have to go through this alone."

The brunette gave the younger woman a few moments to calm down before tenderly kissing the blonde's forehead.

"Is there anything else I can do, or get to help you feel better? Anything you need?"

Emma burrowed further into the older woman. "You. Only you Regina."
