Regina walks back to the room to find Emma gone with the window wide open.
She ran.
Regina bolts out the front door barely able to flip her sign to closed before she took off in pursuit of the blonde.
"Emma, wait!" Regina shouts as she catches up with her a few blocks later.
"Regina, please!" Emma says refusing to meet Regina's eyes.
"Just talk to me."
"What do you want me to say? I heard him. I'm lying there, and I heard him and he's blaming himself."
"You can put an end to this."
"How?"
Tears stream down Regina's eyes, "Tell me to go. Tell me that's what you want, and I will walk away and you will never see me again."
"Is that what you want?" Emma stutters as her eyes become wet with tears.
"I want you." Regina says barely audible.
"Regina."
"I know."
"I can't-"
"I know. We'll be okay. Don't forget me." Regina says as she leans in and gives Emma a final kiss on her forehead.
"I won't remember anything else." Emma says barely over a whisper.
Emma can feel the brunette's hot tears on her face and begins to cry harder.
The brunette unable to speak coherently, turns around as walks away.
Emma grabs her chest as it feels as though her heart is literally breaking, self destructing itself now that it is without the company of the brunette.
"Mom?" Regina says as she walks into her house, "Mom? Are you here?"
"I'll be right out." Her mother calls from down stairs.
"Take your time." Regina replies her voice cracking from her hurt.
"Oh, what's wrong with you?"
Regina looks up at her mother, her eyes red and swollen.
"Blow your nose, then explain." Her mother instructs.
"I met this girl," Regina mumbles, "She's with someone else."
"And does she love you?"
"I don't know."
"No?" Cora says eyeing her daughter.
"Yes. But it doesn't matter. Oh, it's all that matters. She's with someone else. She can't-"
Regina sighs, "When Dad left you, he broke your heart."
"It mends again." Her mother states nonchalantly, giving her daughter a smile.
"Look at you, you look fantastic!" Regina says as she looks at her mother. Her mother is wearing a royal blue pant suit, with her hair twisted up and matching heels. Regina hasn't seen her mother make an effort in years, so this is very unusual.
Cora chuckles, "I may be older than The Apprentice himself, but I can still make an effort."
"A date? Does my mother have a date?" Regina replies in a mockingly tone.
"I'm going to eat food with a man, yes. And how do you feel?"
Regina says nothing but looks at her mother with tears in her eyes.
"Come here." Cora says as she hugs her daughter letting the woman's sob silently into her shoulder.
Killian sings drunkenly.
Emma walks in her house, "Oh, shit. Killian, where have you-"
He continues to sing, "My Johnny Sailor Boldddd."
Emma sighs as she drags her husband to the counter and give him water, "Water and aspirin before bed, and next day, you feel no pain."
"Are you well, my love? " Killian says, his speech completely slurred.
"I want to talk to you." Emma says as tears begin to form in her eyes again.
"I want to talk to you, too. Just three more of these and I'm quite literally all ears." Killian says as he smiles smugly.
"I'll be waiting." Emma says impatiently as she walks over to the sofa, and sits down.
Killian finishes the last of his water and sits beside Emma, "Shoot."
Emma stands up and paces allowing for Killian to lay down on the sofa, "I wanted to talk to you because- I have to talk to you because this thing happened. I wasn't looking for it, it just... It just happened, and although it's over you've a right to know."
Emma sighs and looks down as de continues, "I went crazy, Killian. I went crazy for someone, and it wasn't you. I'm sorry. I'm don't know what happened I-"
"Killian?" Emma says as she looks over to find that Killian heard none of her speech and fell asleep.
Emma walks over to him, desperate for him to have had heard her, "No, no, no. Don't sleep. Wake up, Killian. I can't say this more than once."
Seeing that it is no use Emma gives up, "I'm staying. I couldn't, wouldn't leave you. You are my best friend. And that was enough before. It'll be enough again." Emma says as she covers Killian with a blanket and kisses his forehead.
When Emma is out of sight, Killian opens his eyes as tears slowly stream down, having heard every word.
"Robin?" Regina says as she packs her crates.
Regina brows furrow, "What are you doing here?"
"It is you, then, is it?"
"Is what? I don't-"
"Killian doesn't know. He said that she didn't tell who, but I figured it out."
"What did he say?"
"Just tell me I'm wrong. Tell me." Robin demands.
Regina looks down at the cement, refusing to give an answer.
"You dumb slut!" Robin yells.
"Don't start, Robin." Regina warns.
"Don't start? Don't start?! Her husband, her flipping husband calls me in the middle of the night. And you wanna know how he was? He was heartbroken!"
"You know, just get out." Regina yells motioning towards the door.
"What was that thing that you said?" Robin says mockingly, "What was that? 'Never wreck another couple.' You really stuck to that one good, didn't you?"
"Oh like you're here to talk! You have no honor, no code to live by. You pretend that you do but we all know you really don't. You're cold inside." Regina says eyeing him up and down, "And besides, you smell like forest."
Robin looks are her with wide eyes, and then leaves slamming the door behind him.
Leaving Regina standing there, as she quickly takes out her phone and dials the number for the most local taxi.
