"But your honor.." I said, looking over to Emma. "I'm not a bad person" I could see the tears starting to fill Emma's eye's.

A whole month, and a restraining order.. a whole fucking month of being locked up, and until I could actually hold Emma in my arms again. I won't be able to do that for a whole month.

"You'll be serving one month, jury closed" the judge said, smacking his gavel.

The officers came into the court and cuffed me, then took me to my cell.

It was going to be a lonely month, no seeing Emma, and no interaction with real human life.

I was brought into my cell, they un-cuffed me and I walked further into it, as they then shut the cell door behind me. As soon as they locked it, I flinched at the sound.

I wasn't sure how I was going to get out of this situation, and that means I couldn't see Emma, ever.

-

(Emma's POV)

Once I got out of the court room, tears immediately fell from my eyes.

I was bound to never see Regina again.

"Come on Emma" I heard my mom say.

I looked over to her. "No, I'm not going with you"

"Why's that?" She questioned.

"You took her away!" I yelled. "You took her away from me" I said with a crack in my voice.

"Emma, lets go" I could see anger grow across her face, and she walked over to me.

"No!" I said louder.

There was no way she could get me to go home with her.

"Fine, I'll see you at home then" she walked away. "I did this for your own protection"

She didn't, if it was for my protection she wouldn't of brought it to court. She did it for her own protection, not mine.

I sat in the courthouse until the tears slowed down, and then I headed out.

I was on my way to the police station to visit Regina.

I didn't care about the restraining order because she's not the one breaking it, I am. So, I don't think she could end up facing more time, because this is on me.

I walked into the doors of the station, and was met with an officer.

"Hi, I'm here to see Regina Mills" I said.

"Visiting hours are over ma'am" he replied.

"Please, it'll be quick" I begged.

"Fine" he responded.

I quickly followed him to the visitors area and sat down as I waited for them to bring Regina out.

When I saw her I could feel my face light up, it's only been a few hours but I missed her more than anything.

"Hey" I said with a small smile.

"Hey love" Regina responded.

"I'm sorry this happened" I said, feeling the tears start to form in my eyes.

She looked over to me and grabbed my hands.

"No touching!" Yelled the guard, and she immediately had let go.

"I miss you" she sniffled.

"I'm going to get you out of here" I said. "Hopefully by tonight" I smiled.

"How will you even do that?" She questioned.

"I have my ways" I chuckled.

I wasn't even sure on how I was going to get her out by tonight. But being separated is something I can't handle, because I love her.

"Ladies time is up" the guard said walking over to grab Regina.

The tears were back.

"I love you" I said watching her walk by me.

"I love you too" she responded.

I got up, and left. I could feel the loneliness gaining upon me, again.

Being without her brought the loneliness. When I was sitting there with her my heart felt so complete, and like nothing could ever shatter it.

I sat on the bench outside of where Regina was locked up and then eventually made my way home.

As soon as I got home, I crashed on the couch. I didn't care to know where my mother was or what she was doing. All I seemed to care about was one person, and one person only; Regina

"Emma" I heard a voice. "Emma wake up"

"Mom?" I sat up

she spread her arms, in hopes to hug me.

I had instantly rejected her hug. I didn't want her comfort.

"What's wrong?" She questioned.

"I want you to get Regina out of there" I said.

"I can't do that, she's a bad woman, she got what she deserved"

"But, I love her" I said as tears left my eyes.

"How could you love someone who is built like that?"

Built like that? Like what?

"How would you even be able to get her out?" I questioned in a more calm voice, in hopes to get an answer.

"Well, I'd call the station and explain how everything was a mistake and that she was falsely accused of the crime, and they'd set her free" my mom responded.

"Oh, okay"

That's how I'd get her out.

I'll just call pretending to be my mom and make sure she gets out of there.

As soon as we got home and my mom said goodnight I headed down stairs to the home phone to call the station.

"StoryBrooke Police Station, how may I help you?" The officer questioned.

"I may have falsely accused Regina Mills- who is being held in your facility for the wrong crime"

"Mm. Regina Mills" he said.

I could hear him flipping through some papers over the phone.

"Ah, Regina Mills, Alright" He paused. "What makes you think you falsely accused her?" He questioned.

Fuck, I didn't think that question through.

"Well, from my daughter's description of who was doing such a thing it doesn't match up to her appearance"

Good job Emma.

"Oh, alright, we'll be releasing her shortly then. Hopefully we find the real person who did this"

I hung up the phone, tied my hair into a ponytail and headed to the station.

As soon as I got there I saw Regina waiting on the bench.

"Regina!" I ran up to her.

"Oh, Emma, I missed you" she said. "I'm so glad you're here"

"I love you Regina" I said, grabbing her to hug her.

"I love you too, Em"
