The second time I saw Regina, I was twelve and she was sixteen. By this time I lived in a foster home in Maine and I was happy with staying here for as long as needed. I found myself thinking of those two days I had had with Regina often but that was only because I once again had an older sister, at least that's what I kept telling myself. My foster sister was the same age as Regina would be now and she was pretty cool. Sure, we fought sometimes but it wasn't like it had been with Regina. She respected me and she didn't think that I was stealing her parents. Or maybe she just loved sharing.

"Emma come down please we need to talk about something." I sighed deeply as I heard Molly yell from downstairs. I had finally managed to do some homework and wasn't looking forward to a conversation with them because I knew I would have trouble concentrating afterwards.

"On my way." I said after she called for me once again.

I found them all around the kitchen table, clearly just chatting about their days. They did that a lot and sometimes I would join them, but I wasn't really someone who liked to talk about everything that happened during my days.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat down next to my foster sister Sophie. Molly pointed towards her.

"Sophie is going to a party next weekend and we have one too at McCallister's house so we were thinking of calling a baby sitter but she has plans so-"

I cut my foster mother off, I knew the drill I would come with them to this boring party. "So I'm coming with you guys.." I said sadly but to my surprise my foster mother shook her head.

"Sophie actually said that you could come with her."

"Really?" I asked with my eyebrows raised. She never asked me to come along to any of her parties so I was pretty excited that I finally could come along to one of them.

Sophie only nodded before answering me. "Yeah it should be fun, I haven't seen most of them in a really long time."

We chatted some more before I left the kitchen and went back to my homework, completely missing the conversation that went on in the kitchen.

"You really sure that this is a good idea? You do realize she's gonna be there." Sophie asked her mother.

Molly looked at her daughter and husband and then shook her head. "Emma, she.." there was a pause as she thought over how she was going to say this "she thinks that she has processed everything but something happened those two days she was with the Mills family. I have only heard the stories but she made some kind of connection with Regina"

Sophie rolled her eyes. "Connection.." she sounded disapproving, "you could say it like that."

Her father talked this time. "Sophie." He said warningly with a stare towards his daughter.

"Anyway.." Molly said, breaking the tension in the air.

The woman was good at that, breaking tension. Molly's grey hair and blue eyes made her seem friendly and she had this vibe around her, you couldn't really describe it but people would feel calmer and safe whenever she walked in the room. It had been that special thing, about a year ago, that made Emma feel like she was finally home here. Frank was nice too but he kept more quiet and let his wife do most of the talking. He was good to me but we didn't talk that much, and we both thought it was better that way.

"Like I said, Emma has something with Regina and I think that in order for her to move on she just needs to see her again." Molly said, still absolutely certain about her plan.

Sophie slowly shook her head, she believed her mother but she still had some doubts about this plan. "But it could also make things worse."

Finally her dad said something subject related too. "We just have to hope it won't."

Two days later I was in my room, putting my shoes on. "You almost ready?" Sophie asked me. I looked in my mirror to see her reflection. She was wearing a dress and a lot of make-up.

"You look nice." I said before turning around and watching her smile.

"Thanks. You look pretty good too." She said, frowning a bit.

I was wearing regular jeans and a new shirt that I had gotten last week. My hair was down and it reached just above my shoulder, curling in a playful way. I looked almost like I always did but then again I hadn't really reached the point in my life yet where I would have an obsession with make-up and clothes.

"Thank you." I said before I turned around to look at myself once again. I wasn't really sure if this was good enough for the party.

Sophie apparently sensed it and stepped up closer to me. "Here. Let me do something."

I nodded as I watched surprised what she was getting from her tiny backpack. She pulled out a black object and after opening it, brought it closer to my eyes. I looked at it suspiciously to which she chuckled.

"Relax, it's just mascara. Don't blink." She said as she applied the make-up to my eyes.

After about five minutes of hell and a lot of blinking she was finally done. "Much better." Sophie said with a huge smile.

"You have a lot of friends." I said as I looked around the room. I felt slightly uncomfortable when I saw how many people were actually there and I didn't know any of them, well except for my foster sister.

Sophie laughed. "Don't worry, even I don't know all of them."

Suddenly we heard a woman screaming as she ran towards us. "SOPHIEEE" She said as she hugged my foster sister. I could smell the alcohol around her (I had my fair share of foster families where they drank too much alcohol) and wrinkled my nose. I hated that smell.

"Heyyy Chloe!" My foster sister said as she pulled backwards from the hug. "How are you? I haven't seen you for ages."

The other girl didn't answer but instead just looked at me. Sophie put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and pulled me a bit towards her as someone was trying to get past me. "This is my friend, Emma." When she said it I felt the other person behind me turning and then before I knew it I felt the warmth disappearing. But I ignored it and stared at my sister instead. I was surprised that she called me my sister but she probably didn't want to do the whole foster talk though. People could ask questions about it the entire evening. "But then how long does she stay? Do you like it? How long has she lived with your family? What happened to her family?" They tried to ignore these conversations.

"Hi." I said as I held out my hand for her to shook but she pulled me in for a hug. I was startled but hugged her back. I wasn't really a hugger but also realized that Chloe was pretty drunk so there was no point in pushing her away.

After that Sophie and I went to the drinks table to get something but unfortunately there was only alcohol so Sophie pointed towards the kitchen while she grabbed a beer for herself and started talking with one of her best friends, who I did know, Madison. She came by our house pretty often. I liked her, Madison was friendly and we talked sometimes, I feel like she could have been my friend if she was younger.

When I got closer to the kitchen I could hear people talking, the music was very loud so it was hard to understand everything but I could make out most of the conversation.

"Are you sure?" A guy said and then there was a silence before he spoke again. "I could be someone else you know. It's been five years." Suddenly a girl spoke up, she talked softer so I wasn't sure of what she was saying. "Steve… sure…. It was.." That's all I got from the conversation before I actually entered and both people were immediately quiet. I didn't look at them when I got my drink and I didn't look at them when I walked away again. I didn't want to disturb their privacy because maybe they were having a fight.

I also missed the "That was definitely Emma!" When I left with my coke.

Two hours later I was getting tired. I had found some people who were my age so I chatted with them. They were nice but not really the kind of people I would normally hang out with so besides all being at this party we didn't have much in common. I excused myself to go to the bathroom but when I quickly turned around on my heels I bumped into someone else and felt liquid wet my new shirt.

"Damnit" someone muttered which caused me to look up at to the other person's eyes. A very familiar set of eyes.

I gasped immediately when my eyes met the brown orbs. I would recognize them anytime, those beautiful dark eyes that held so much emotion. I noticed it, even at my young age.

"Regina.." I stammered as I stared at her. She looked so much older, she was of course but she had changed so much more than I had in those couple of years. She had grown forms, actual female forms and she wasn't a girl anymore, she was a woman. She also was wearing a dress, a red one to be precise and it looked absolutely stunning - even with the now wet stain on it - especially matched with the red lipstick that was on her lips. I realized that I was staring and quickly looked up at her face, wondering why I was so interested in her body.

She opened her mouth to say something but someone else interrupted. A boy. Yes I called him a boy because he was one. He looked so young and irresponsible. I looked from Regina to the boy before she finally said something.

"Steve.. this is uhm.. this is Emma." She spoke to the boy but kept her gaze at me, which made me feel uncomfortable and more aware of my own not so impressive looks. Not that I had to look good around her but being a twelve year old it was hard not to feel insecure sometimes, even for Emma Swan.

"Emma.." Regina started again, snapping me back to reality, "this is Steve, my boyfriend." She said while she pointed at the boy.

I didn't realize at that moment why I felt disappointed but I just did. I only nodded to the both of them before excusing myself and quickly turning away in shock.

I scanned the room for my foster sister but couldn't find her. I did notice Madison and Chloe so I walked over to them instead.

"Emmaaaa" Madison said and I groaned when she hugged me. I really just wanted to get away from this party and all these people who were stuffed with alcohol weren't really doing anything good for my mood. I felt the tears in my eyes and I did my best to push them back. I roughly pulled myself back from the hug.

"Have you seen my sister?" I asked Madison and she laughed drunkenly before pointing towards the stairs. I frowned and opened my mouth to ask why on earth she would be upstairs but I walked towards it anyway, not responding to Regina's "Emma, don't." as I walked past her once again, meanwhile pushing the arm away that was coming towards me.

I knocked on the first door I saw and then pushed it open.

"Sophie, let's-" I started but I closed my mouth immediately when I noticed my foster sister kissing a boy on top of the bed. I placed my hand in front of my mouth and turned around on my heels as fast as I could. This evening couldn't possibly get worse.

"Emma!" I heard Sophie scream as I shut the door. The tears were now streaming down my face and I wasn't even trying to hide them anymore, everyone here was making out or drunk anyway so it didn't really matter.

I looked down at my own feet as I quickly ran down the stairs, straight into someone's arms. I let the arms close around me and for once in my life I didn't resist. I had no idea who this person was but I was too upset to even care and somehow this hug felt right, it never did but this felt really good. So I leaned into the other person a bit more while I was slowly moved to a somewhat more quiet area. The other person now held my hand but I still refused to look up. Somewhere on our way I realized it was Regina. I don't know how I knew that, I just did.

She squeezed my hand one more time before letting me go and sitting next to me on the swing outside.

"Are you okay?" She asked me and I shrugged.

"What happened?" Regina asked me to which I shrugged again, I kept looking straight forward, still refusing to look at her, knowing it would make me angry. All these hormones were messing with me and everything that had just happened in the last ten minutes sure weren't doing them any good. My mood had shifted again.

"Emma, come on." The brunette pushed as she inched closer to me, but I responded by only moving further away from her to which she sighed heavily.

"Fine." She said and she kept quiet but didn't move away.

I really wanted her to leave at that moment. I was in no mood for this and I was mad at everyone. At Regina for .. well I had always been mad at her since that day she pushed me, I don't think it really was about the push I think it was just the feeling of rejection. I had been rejected before but never like this, never right in my face, physically rejected by someone. I was also mad at everyone inside there for being drunk, at Steve for being her boyfriend which was an anger I still didn't get, and at Sophie for bringing me to this party and kissing this boy. She left me there on my own.

Steve suddenly pushed the doors open and stumbled outside, while holding a beer in his hand. Great, another drunk person.

"There you are!" He said as he sat down too, instantly draping an arm around Regina and kissing her cheek. She sighed in frustration and pushed his arm away from around her shoulder.

"Not now." She murmured, hard enough for me to hear.

"No, go on, I'm going anyway" I said as I stood up and moved towards the car, I could wait here for Sophie.

I rushed towards it and heard footsteps quickly following me. I rolled my eyes and turned around while leaning against the car. I probably looked pretty confident like this, though I felt open and vulnerable.

"Emma, stay." Regina said as she moved towards me.

"Or what?" I asked angrily. "You'll push me to the ground so that I have no choice."

Regina's mouth dropped open and her eyes narrowed. I saw the concern and care leave her eyes and the anger that I had seen in them all those years ago came back. That was the Regina that I knew, the Regina that haunted my dreams and days, the one I couldn't stop thinking about. A shiver went through my body.

"Goodbye Emma." She hissed through her teeth before quickly moving away from me, clearly realizing that this was never going to work out. We just had to stay away from each other.

"Goodbye Regina." I answered.

The good thing was that it did feel like I could finally close up this chapter, it somehow felt like I finally managed to say the goodbye that I hadn't all those years ago.

Not long after our goodbye Sophie came and we drove home, we didn't say anything to each other I just kept staring out of the window.

That was the second time I saw Regina. At that point I was sure that I would never see her again, and I had no trouble with that.

sooo what did you think?
