I always write fluffy Oneshots so I thought I'd write something a bit different. TW if any of you guys are sensitive I'd recommend skipping this, especially if you guys are sensitive about suicide. But for those of you who want to read I hope you like it please review xoxoxo
Save me from myself.
She was going to do it. This time she would, and there would be nothing anyone could do. Regina had left everything Henry would need in her house along with her diary and a letter she had put of writing for a long time. But she had to do it, there was nothing left for her anymore she was a poison.
Everyone eventually left her, Henry would of anyways so why would it matter? Robin had left with Marian and it crushed her, she couldn't get out of bed for months and when she did she never left the house. Villains don't get happy endings. It echoed in her head over and over again it's true when people say we are prisoners of our minds, because no matter what she did how much she had changed she would never be good enough, not for Henry apparently not for robin and most certainly herself.
In many ways she blamed her mother for how she turned out. She corrupted her. Destroyed everything she loved but most of all she made Regina feel like nothing, that no one could ever love her.
And that is what led Regina to the toll bridge that day, the belief she was worth nothing that nobody would miss her when she was gone. She climbed over the railings and sat on the edge this was where she would spend her last moments.
She thought about everything, henry mostly the only one who ever believed in her. Then she thought about robin his dimples, the creases by his eyes when he smiled, his laugh and it all became too much, it physically hurt to think about him her heart clenched and she had to choke back her tears.
Regina had always been a fighter, she never gave anyone the satisfaction of seeing her broken or defeated because she was resilient. Was. Now she was tired of fighting, fighting for happiness and the life she had always wanted, it wasn't meant to be and she accepted it.
She rose shakily and leant back on the railings for support, one clean jump and everything would be over of course she would miss Henry but he was better of without her.
She let go of the railings and stood with her feet dipping over the edge she was ready to jump and she was ready to die. That's when she heard it.
She heard him. The last person she had ever expected to hear again.
He called her name and she missed the sound of his voice and the warmth it created in her chest. She missed him.
"Regina please don't." It broke her heart a thousand times over to see the hurt in his eyes and hear the desperation in his voice. Why was he here? How did he find his way back to her?
"Please give me your hand, don't do this."
"I need you".
She exhaled sharply she was used to people needing her help normally to kill some deranged beast or green sisters but never had she ever heard it this way. He needed her. Out of everyone he needed her.
He held his hand out to Regina and she took it reluctantly he looked destroyed and she could only imagine what she looked like to him.
He pulled her over the railings fast and held her close to him, had it not been for the circumstances se would have complained about the lack of oxygen but he was back and they needed each other. She wrapped her arms around him and they remained in a crumpled heap in the middle of the toll bridge.
"Thank you" she whispered quietly.
"Thank you for saving me from myself".
