AN: so here is part 2 of my double update. I know this chapter may lack accuracy to how this would go down in real life I just didn't want to focus on the issue to much. Happy reading!

Chapter 8

It had now become a regular occurrence for Regina and Emma to spend their lunch break on the bleachers. It was the perfect spot; they could see most of the school but they were secluded enough that people couldn't see them.

One day their lunch was interrupted by the sight of police cruisers pulling into the school parking lot.

"Another locker check? Do the cops have nothing better to do?" Regina joked. Her smile faded when she saw the fear in Emma's eyes, "You don't have anything in your locker do you?" Regina asked now concerned.

"I... I think...I might... I don't like to keep it on me when you and I hang out, I don't want you to ever get caught." Emma ran her fingers through her hair pulling at it slightly.

"How much?" The question was covered in worry.

"Very little, but they're probably going to find it." Emma stared down at the ground, embarrassed of what was about to happen, "You should probably go, I don't want them to catch you with me."

Regina reached out and gave Emma's arm a comforting squeeze, "I'm not going anywhere.'

"Yes you are." Emma's eyes were stern, "Your mother won't allow me to ever see you again."

"My mother doesn't control me."

Emma's eyes changed to pleading, "Please Regina, let me take this alone." She headed towards the school entrance.

Regina jogged and caught up beside her, lacing their fingers together, "It'll be fine."

The butterflies in Emma's stomach at the contact blurred her judgement for a moment. When she came to her senses she unlaced their fingers and sped up, "Let me do this Regina.'

Regina grabbed the blonde's arm pulling her back, "No Emma, I-"

She was caught off by the principal who had just exited the main entrance and spotted them.

"Miss Swan my office now! And you too Miss Mills."

"Mrs. Mills, Regina was seen here with Miss Swan who has been caught with the possession of marijuana."

"Regina had nothing to do with it." Emma piped in.

"I would advise you against speaking Miss Swan." Cora's voice is so harsh Emma cowers back into her seat in response.

The girls remained seated as the principal inform Cora of the locket check and the drugs found in Emma's locker. Regina kept stealing glances over at the blonde, her face was ridden with guilt and hurt, it pained Regina to see her that way.

When the meeting was over the girls were left in the hall while Cora continue to talk to the principal for a bit.

Emma pulled Regina over to the side of the hallway. She stood there silently for a moment before gaining the confidence to make her statement.

"Regina maybe we aren't the best idea." Emma trails off not wanting to continue where her thoughts were headed.

"Nonononono." Regina quipped. She knew there were issues with them being together but she didn't want it to end. Maybe it was selfish of her. For once in her life she was truly happy. Being with Emma brought an ease to Regina's life she had never felt before. Perhaps it was Emma's calm nature rubbing off on her.

"It has to happen sooner or later, I mean we probably won't go to the same school next year and we'll never speak to each other again." Emma held a deep sadness in her eyes, and Regina felt her words resonate inside her. She had a point, it was a point Regina had been trying to ignore since the moment they got together. When Regina only stared back at the blonde with watery eyes, Emma continued, "You deserve to have an amazing senior year. The kind of year every freshman dreams of."

"My amazing senior year needs you in it."

"I don't think I can be." Emma remained stoic as she turned around and walked away leaving the brunette in the middle of the hall, alone. The moment her back was turned tears broke out all over the blonde's face. She couldn't hold it in, she turned into an empty classroom and completely broke down.

She hated how much Regina had come to mean to her. She should have never let herself get involved with someone so out of her league. It had been a long shot from the beginning and she was delusional to think that they would ever work out.

And yet a part of her still had hope, but she would continue to try and suppress that feeling as best she could.
