A/N : We are nearing to the end of this fic. I hope you enjoy it!
Previously: Ivy takes Selena's empty cup and puts it on the desk next to hers. She notices Selena's sketch book. She picks it up to have a look. "Have you got any new sketches?" As she lifts the book she notices a sketch fall out. "This is amazing. Is this the guy you said you met?" Selena nods her head "Yes, Alec."
Chapter 10
A week had gone by and Selena was using the sketch of Alec to make a missing poster. She was desperate to find him and felt alone, even though she had Ivy. Ivy also found her soul mate and she was still waiting for him to find her. Maybe he moved on, but he told me he loved me. Think positive Selena! Selena had been moving around more, she felt better and most of her stitches had dissolved. Ivy would meet Selena at the diner, but lately Ivy could see and sense a change in Selena. Like she was not her cheery bubbly self. She had become slightly serious and looked like she had so much on her mind which made her depressed. Ivy wasn't the only one to notice this change Regina was the first and then Ivy but then the Charmings noticed and attempted to help Selena come out of this state. Things were becoming too much due to the fact that Alec still wasn't found.
All the efforts from her mum, Ivy and the Charmings to boost her moral wasn't working. Selena began to spend her time either in her room or on a fallen log in the woods looking out to the river. Selena began to feel like an empty shell the more she had hope that she would find him the more she lost that hope.
Today Ivy text Selena so they could meet up but Selena turned her down. This was beginning to happen often and Ivy was determined to confront Selena about it. I wont let her shut me out. Selena was at home in her room working on the children's classes for when a new term begins. Selena was half way when she heard the door knock, she went down to answer it. Selena was shocked to find Ivy on the other side of the door. "Hi. Sorry I wasn't feeling like meeting up." Selena said as she let Ivy in. They sat down in the living room. Regina was working today. "What's the matter? Have they not found him yet?" Ivy asked gently not to make Selena feel worse but to confine in her. Selena shakes her head "No. Im trying to have hope but the more I have hope the more nothing is happening. " Selena says as her voice breaks. Ivy puts a hand on Selena's shoulder. "You know you can tell me anything. You don't have to keep it all in." Selena shakes her head in understanding. "I better get going. I came to see how you were. Remember what I told you. You will find him, he is probably looking for a way to you." Ivy says by the door. "You think so?" Selena asks with a small sign of hope. Ivy nods her head and gives Selena a hug good bye.
On the way back to August's Ivy bumped into Robin. He asked Ivy if she heard from Selena and how she was doing. Ivy told him everything including her trying to find Alec. "She looks rough, she has dark circles and she is shutting people out." Robin looks concerned "Leave it to me." He says and bids her farewell.
Meanwhile at home as soon as Ivy left Selena began drinking from the alcohol cabinet. She was pissed out of her mind but she found a bottle of rum at the back of the cabinet and left the house. She drank half of the bottle as she made her way to her mothers mausoleum. When she arrived she sat on the bench next to her fathers tomb. "Hi dad. Its me Selena. Im sorry we didn't get to meet." Selena said through tears. She finished the other half of the bottle and began to sob, letting it all out. Alec, the lose of her dad and her shutting out the people dear to her. She lay down on the bench and passed out due to being exhausted and drunk.
An hour later Regina noticed Selena missing, she wasn't at home. She went to check if she was at Ivy's house, but she wasn't there. Where has she gone? Im going to call the Charmings and let them know. Ivy said she will help look for Selena. Regina rang the Charmings and Robin and told them that Selena has gone missing and that she cant find her. Please don't do anything stupid. Please. Robin meets Regina by the diner. "Hey, its ok we will find her." Robin says giving her a hug and a kiss on the lips. Regina nodded attempting to stay positive. "I went to see Selena today she seemed ok." Ivy says trying to piece everything together. The Charmings meet Regina, Robin and Ivy by the diner. "We should split up and search. Robin and I will start in the woods." The Charmings nodded in agreement "We will look through the town." Regina nods and leaves with Robin. They look through the woods but nothing, Regina walks and notices that they have come to her mausoleum. Regina opens the door with magic and makes her way down to where her potions are kept. "Nothing down here." She says letting Robin know that she isn't down there. Robin looks around the tombs and spots Selena lying on the bench near her fathers tomb. "Regina. I found her." Regina is by his side in minutes. Regina sees the empty rum bottle on the floor. Regina calls everyone and tells them that they found her and thank you for helping to search. "Shes passed out from the amount she drank. She will be ok." Robin said to Regina. Robin then carries Selena home. When they get back to house Robin places Selena into her bed and makes his way downstairs with Regina. "Thank you Robin." Regina says as she gives Robin a kiss. Tears were forming in her eyes. " She wants to find Alec but there is no sign of him. She's shutting everyone out. I don't know what to do." She says letting the tear fall. Robin embraces her and wipes her tear with the pad of his thumb. "Leave it to me Love. She will be happy I will make sure of that."
That night Regina let her walls down and let Robin into her heart again.
