So I have what my mom considers a pretty serious medical issue, I feel pretty crappy and so I'm taking a day off uni, and this is the product of this. I know it is odd. But I said I'd continue this in February so I am. Believe it or not, I normally get one of these chapters written in around an hour. This one has taken over three!

Regi,

Hey, so if you hate Gina, can I call you Regi?

Pick up the phone when I call will you. I have stuff to tell you.

I hope you're ok Gina, after Monday I'm a little concerned.

Emma pressed send on the email and sighed. After constant emails and phone calls she hadn't written in her journal for a few days. She was going stir crazy in Boston without her son, her parents and the woman she… had strong feelings for. She sat back on the sofa, flicking through the TV channels, skipping past 'The Blacklist' and 'Grey's Anatomy' before settling on 'Conviction'. She grabbed her journal from the coffee table and started reading through it.

When she had looked through the past month of entries she was surprised by the fluctuating emotions that she was feeling. All she knew is that she wanted to talk to Regina. The episode she was watching had finished and so the blonde switched to the next episode and picked her laptop back up to check if she had had a response from the brunette. Seeing none, she typed another.

Gina,

Turns out I don't care if you don't like Gina. That's who you are to me.

Anyway, you normally respond to me pretty quick. Are you ok?

Let me know when you're free so we can have a chat.

Em.

Finding the emails the two had sent each other the few days previously the blonde added them into the journal, wanting it to be a full record of their communication. She knew it was daft, but was beginning to miss talking to Regina. They had gone from not talking over a month ago to sleeping in the same bed together and when she hadn't heard from the brunette in longer than she was used too, she was getting concerned.

Once she had finished transcribing the emails, she checked her inbox again, seeing still no response. She sent a quick email to Kathryn, who responded in minutes saying she was unsure where the mayor was, that she hadn't heard from her all morning either. Getting slightly more anxious, the blonde sent yet another email to her favourite reformed evil queen.

Gina

I'm sorry for the repeat emails Gina, but Kathryn said she doesn't know where you are either.

Please call me soon.

After sending that email, the sheriff decided to go for another run, wanting to clear her head. She'd been able to get her 'date' over quickly the night before and had turned in someone who referred to himself only as 'Much' and had been home by 10, but she'd been feeling a sense of unease since then. After her run she decided to make a trip into the office to see if she could pick up any more extra cases, needing something to keep her mind off Aceso and everything else. When she returned, she knew there would be no messages in her inbox and was correct. She'd called Regina's phone numerous times but the phone remained switched off. She sent another email before slamming her laptop shut angrily.

Irately, Emma started writing in her journal, telling Gina how annoyed she was, just letting out her frustration on the pages. Before she knew it she'd written three pages, and in that she'd gone from ranting about Regina to writing about the dreams she'd been having, and then to holiday ideas she'd been having that they could take 'as a family'. She constantly refreshed her inbox and when she saw nothing a few hours later, she sent one last reply, hoping it would make Regina respond.
