Chapter 15! Don't hate me please!
Enjoy And please review.
Emma was on the school's garden sitting on a bench when a blonde woman walked towards her with an angry look "Are you Emma Swan?" the woman asked sharply.
Emma was so tired that she nodded instead of answering and the other woman reaction shocked Emma deeply. The older blonde slapped the student hard on the face making her cry in pain.
"What the hell was that for?" Emma screamed ready to fight back in anger but before she could say anything else she felt another slap on her face.
"That's for Regina you idiot!" the older woman screamed with a murderous look in her eyes and Emma felt the earth opening under her feet.
She looked down, feeling too ashamed to look the other woman in the eyes "You know Regina...How is she?" Emma let out biting her lip hard.
"Are you kidding me?" Kathryn asked sharply feeling a huge desire to punch the blonde girl right in the mouth "She's broken, and it's your fault!" she said closing her fists.
Emma was looking at her knowing exactly what the other woman was thinking "How is she?" Emma repeated and that was too much for Kathryn, the older woman punched Emma in the jaw and the girl stayed there still without fighting back, another punch and another.
The girl was still impassive and Kathryn stopped "Why don't you fight back?" she asked after feeling more calm.
Emma couldn't stop the tears from falling anymore "Because I wanted to punch myself too, do it!" she yelled in despair.
Kathryn was shocked, she wasn't expecting that reaction from the girl "Why have you done that to her? She loves you, you know?" she asked sadly.
Emma started sobbing and Kathryn realized something was wrong "I love her too" Emma whispered.
"So why?" the older woman insisted and Emma couldn't keep that secret to herself anymore.
She sat again on the bench and explained everything to Kathryn.
When the blonde finished her story, Kathryn was speechless "I'm sorry" she said to Emma, noticing how hurt Emma's face was.
"I deserve it, I deserve much more" the girl said sincerely and Kathryn was able to see that Regina wasn't the only one broken.
"You have to tell her Emma" Kathryn said "She deserves to know"
Emma shook her head "I can't, Zelena will ruin her life because of me, I won't allow her to lose everything because of someone like me"
Kathryn shook her head sadly "She is broken Emma, again. I can't let her keep thinking that you don't love her" the older woman continued but Emma squeezed her arm.
"Please, don't tell her" Emma begged "She is better without me, promise me!"
Kathryn looked inside Emma's eyes and nodded leaving next without looking back.
Emma's face was pretty hurt and the pain was big but she thought she deserved it so she didn't complain.
For the rest of the day Emma skipped all her classes and had to resist the will to text Regina and ask her if she was OK. She had to do what was best for Regina.
With Regina she finally felt like she mattered, like she was complete. Regina taught her the meaning of loving someone and Emma knew that loving someone means to protect the other person even if it means breaking your own heart.
Ariel found her on the library trying to read a book to occupy her mind.
"What happened Emma?" Ariel asked "Ms. Mills doesn't feel well and you cry in the middle of the class room?" she continued "What the hell happened between you two?"
Emma sighed "I screwed up" she let out, and for the second time in that day she told what had happened with Zelena.
When she finished Ariel was shocked "That bitch!" the redheaded said loud and Emma nodded without saying a word.
Ariel touched Emma's shoulder gently "You have to tell her"
"No, I can't" Emma said with a tone that was warning Ariel that she should stop and so she did.
The redheaded girl hugged Emma, not knowing what else to do or say.
Then they heard a cold voice behind them "Hello Miss Swan" the voice said and Emma felt her blood boiling on her veins. They looked back and met Zelena's eyes.
Ariel grabbed Emma's shoulder strong stopping Emma from getting up and throw herself against the teacher.
"Something wrong dear?" the older woman continued with a playful voice and Emma had to bit her own lip until blood came out of it.
Zelena was amused with the vision and left after smiling at the two girls.
"Calm down Emma" Ariel whispered into her friends ear.
"I miss her" Emma cried.
Ariel nodded "I know, I know"
