Shattered Hearts
Emma Swan was walking down the sidewalk to Granny's Diner when her phone rang. "Hello", she said into the phone.
"Hey beautiful it's me I want you to come over for dinner tonight", a familiar voice said. The voice belonged to Regina, the mayor of Story Brooke and Emma's girlfriend. They have been dating for two years and Emma wanted to take their relationship to the next level.
"Okay honey what time?" Emma asked into the phone.
"About 6 okay?" Regina asked softly.
"Alright see you then love you", Emma said with a smile as she hung up the phone. She walked into the diner where she was greeted by Granny.
"Hello dearie want can I get you", Granny asked with a smile.
"A cup of coffee to go please", Emma said with a smile as she handed Granny the money.
"Here you are sheriff", Granny said as she handed Emma her coffee. Emma sat down and drank her coffee in peace until August Jones, her best friend from Boston sat by her.
"Hey Emma mind if I join you?" he asked sweetly.
"Not at all what can I do you for?" Emma asked as she sipped her coffee.
"How about you and me leave this town for a bit and go on an adventure just like the old days", he said with a grin.
"I would love to really I would but I have a good life here and I just don't feel like leaving", Emma stated.
"Alright well just remember if you ever change your mind just grab some clothes and we can be on our way", August said with a hint of defeat in his tone.
"Okay good day August", Emma said as she left the diner. Six came quickly by and Emma was knocking on Regina's door. Henry, Emma's son and Regina's adoptive son opened the door with a huge grin.
"Hi Emma come on in", Henry said happily.
"Thanks kiddo where's your mom?" Emma asked as she hung her coat on a hanger.
"She is in the kitchen so let's go wait at the table", Henry said as he took her by the arm. They both sat down at a wooden round table and Regina came out with a plate of tomato soup and grilled cheese. "Alright my favorite", Henry exclaimed happily as they began to eat their meal.
"So, how was your day Henry?" Emma asked.
"It was fun I got an A on my math test and I passed a spelling test", Henry said proudly.
"That's wonderful Henry", Regina said happily. After dinner Regina, Emma, and Henry sat in the living room watching Beauty and the Beast. Within an hour Henry fell fast asleep and Emma carried him to his room. Regina tucked him in and they both kissed him goodnight. Then walked into the living room where Emma hopefully thought she could talk to Regina about their relationship. "So Emma now that Henry is asleep what do you want to do?" Regina asked in a seductive voice as she sent a trail of kisses down Emma's neck.
"Regina as much as I want to we need to talk", Emma said as she gently pushed Regina away.
"What about?" Regina asked .
"I want to talk about our relationship", Emma said nervously.
"What about it?" Regina questioned.
"I think we should take it to the next level by letting me move in with you and Henry", Emma told her.
"Emma I already told you many times before I like the way things are right now", Regina said as she got up from the couch.
"I know you do but I don't I think we should at least discuss the matter", Emma said as she followed her into the kitchen.
"Emma please just stop. You spent the night a few times and we eat dinner together what more is there?" Regina questioned.
"I'm not saying we should get married right now I'm just saying I should move in with you", Emma answered defensively.
"And I think things are going just fine", Regina said in a loud tone.
"Why are you closing the idea down don't you want me to move in?" Emma asked in a hurt tone.
"Of course I do just not now", Regina said firmly.
"When then Regina huh when? Are you going to wait 2 more years or maybe 5 before you decide that you're ready?" Emma asked.
"Look I just want things the way they are right now so please drop it", Regina said firmly.
"I am not going to be like Graham okay I'm not going to have sex when you want and then sneak out before Henry sees me I' sorry but either you want this relationship to work or I'm sorry but I can't keep doing this", Emma said as tears began to form.
"What are you saying Emma?" Regina asked as tears formed in her eyes.
"I'm saying that if you are not ready to commit then I think we should see other people", Emma said softly.
"Fine be that way just get out!" Regina shouted as she pushed Emma toward the door.
"Good-bye Regina", Emma said as tears fell from her face as she left the house. Regina's face was filled with tears as she raided her liquor cabinet for the hard stuff. After an hour that Emma left Regina heard a knock on the door and in the doorway stood Sidney Glass, a reporter of Story Brooke.
"Good evening Regina may I come in to discuss the news headlines for tomorrow's paper with you?" He asked in a polite tone. Regina who was already drunk said in a sluggish voice said "Please come in we can share a drink or two". Emma was at her apartment crying to Mary Margret who was gently rubbing her back.
"Come on Emma I'm sure it wasn't that bad", Mary Margret assured her.
"Yes it was why did I have to push things I could of waited another year or two I just wanted our relationship to progress is that so wrong?", Emma wondered.
"Of course not but maybe you could have said it in a more delicate way", Mary Margret suggested.
"I don't want to lose Henry or Regina I just don't know what to do", Emma said in defeat.
"Just cool off for tonight with a good night sleep and then go see her in the morning and talk about how you feel", Mary Margret said.
"Yeah maybe I could talk to her I mean if she isn't ready yet I can wait for as long as she wants", Emma said as she placed her head on the pillow. The next morning Emma got dressed and went to go see Regina and knocked on her door. There was no answer so she knocked again but still there was no reply. So, she used the keys that Regina had given her and unlocked the door. "Regina are you up I need to talk to you about last night", Emma said as she made her way into the living room. Regina wasn't there so she walked up to her room and opened the door. To her horror Regina was naked in bed with a naked Sidney Glass. Emma let out a scream that woke the two up and Regina went red. She looked out herself then at Sidney and finally at Emma.
"Emma I swear I can explain!" Regina cried as she tried to get out of bed but Sidney still had his arms around her.
"Don't bother I can't believe you we had one fight and I come here to apologize and work it out and you do this to me!" Emma screamed.
"Emma please let me explain!" Regina begged.
"Forget it I've seen enough", Emma hissed as she ran out of the house. Her whole body was shaking with anger and grief. She went back to her apartment and started to gather up some clothes. She wrote Mary Margret a note and drove to the sheriff's office and placed her badge on the table. Then she dialed a number and waited for an answer.
"Hello ", came a voice.
"Hey August its Emma I was wondering if that invitation was still good?" Emma asked.
"Of course when do you want to leave", August said happily.
"Pick me up at the sheriff's office in 30 minutes", Emma told him.
"You got it", he said and hung up the phone. Within 30 minutes August was outside the sheriff's office on his bike. Emma came out and climbed on the bike with ease. "Not that I'm complaining but what changed your mind?" August wondered.
"Let's just say I needed to get away for a while", Emma said as August started his bike. They were soon zooming past the Now Leaving Story Brooke sign and Emma just hoped she was doing the right thing Regina got up and began to search for Emma and she started at her apartment. She knocked hard on the door but instead of Emma stood a very tired Mary Margret.
"Regina what a pleasant surprise how may I help you this morning", Mary Margret said politely.
"Never mind that please tell Emma I need to speak with her", Regina said firmly.
"I'm sorry Regina but Emma isn't here she left with August for a vacation didn't she tell you?" Mary Margret asked.
"What do you mean she's gone when will she be back", Regina demanded.
"All the note said was she was taking a trip with August because she had to get away to clear her head", Mary Margret explained.
Regina fought back the tears and said, "Thank you for your time". Then she quietly went back home and sobbed on her couch. "What have I done?" she cried. "I'm so sorry Emma please come back", Regina moaned as she fell onto her couch her whole body trembling. "Please", she cried softly as she closed her eyes begging for her swan to come back home.
