Chapter 20

The road trip was going well, Graham was still driving, they were just passing Savannah, Georgia. Regina sat in the passenger seat, Emma and Lily were in the back sleeping.

"So Ruby hit on me the day," Graham chuckled.

Regina laughed, "What did she say?"

"Nothing interesting, she just kept rubbing my chest and my arm every time she came to check on me while I ate my lunch. She said I looked good and my beard was sexy," he smirked.

"What are you going to do?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Oh when we get back I'm definitely going to make my move but I just thought it was funny how she's comfortable with throwing herself at people," he said.

"Yeah that shit is wild. I could never," Regina scoffed.

*Ding*

"Exactly. So I think I wanna drop out of school, I don't like it," he said.

"I thought you wanted to be a cop," she said looking down at her phone.

*Ding*

"I do it's just...I'm so far away," Graham stated.

*Ding*

"Ok seriously, whose phone is that? Is that Emma's?" She asked.

"I think so," he nodded.

Regina looked behind her and saw the phone sitting on her girlfriend's lap, she gently retrieved it, sure not to wake her gf, "All of these messages are from Neal."

"What does he want?" Graham furrowed his eyebrows.

"Let's find out, shall we," she opened them.

2:43pm: Swan did you fall asleep?

2:47pm: Of course you did, punk.

2:48pm: Sleep tight.

"He's annoying," she rolled her eyes, "She's been texting him all day."

"About what? Come on, read them to me. I would love to know what Neal and Emma have to talk about," he teased.

Today 12:31pm

12:31pm: Good afternoon.

12:33pm: :D Neal, what's up?

12:34pm: Nothing, how's the trip going?

12:35pm: Eh, it's alright. We aren't there yet lol

12:36pm: True, so about dinner the other night...sorry we had to cut it short.

12:47pm: It's fine, your dad can be pretty demanding.

12:50pm: Yeah, he's pretty pissed. I love our dinners tho

12:52pm: Me too, they've helped me deal with all this drama.

12:54pm: How are you and your asshole?

12:55pm: I mean Regina

12:57pm: -_- Not funny. We are alright.

12:58pm: I guess. She's a jerk Emma.

1:03pm: Your point?...

1:05pm: You deserve better.

1:26pm: Did I just piss you off?

1:27pm: Of course you did.

1:29pm: Sorry, just stating my opinion.

1:34pm: I know but I don't need everyone voicing their opinion. I can handle Regina.

1:36pm: You sure? If she ever hurt you...I don't know what I'd do without you.

1:37pm: I'm fine Neal.

"Yeah ok, I don't want to read anymore," Regina said as she locked the phone.

"He likes her Regina, of course he's going to say those things. Don't worry about him," Graham said.

"It's not him I'm worried about. Emma isn't happy," Regina stated, "That's why I need this trip to be perfect-" Emma's phone began to ring loudly, Regina quickly answered not wanting to wake Emma.

It was Neal, he had the camera on a photo booth picture of him and Emma, "Look what I found."

"Very nice," Regina said.

He quickly turned the camera around, "Regina?" His eyebrows furrowed, "Uh hi, where's Emma?"

"She's sleeping. If you don't mind Neal, stop blowing up her phone. You're being a nuisance," she scoffed.

"Sorry. You better make sure Emma comes back in one piece," he said.

"Is that a threat dear?" she smirked.

"N-no, I just don't want her to get hurt. I don't trust you," he said.

"Quite frankly, that doesn't matter. I love Emma, she'll be well protected while we are away," Regina said.

"She better be. I have some dirt on you Regina, I'm sure you wouldn't want Emma finding out it," he stated, "Just make sure she's safe."

"I'm not worried Neal, goodbye. Have a wonderful day," Regina said before hanging up on the teen.

Little did they know, Emma woke up the moment she heard her phone ring, she was just pretending to be sleep in the backseat.

XXXXX

"I'm in Miami bitch!" Lily yelled out the window.

Emma giggled at her best friend and took in the beautiful scenery, the water looked surreal and the weather was heavenly.

"We'll be arriving at Jefferson's shortly," Regina said as she drove.

Emma punched her sleeping brother in the arm and Lily smacked him in the back of head causing him to jump up, they couldn't control their laughter, "Wake up bro," Emma laughed.

"You two are fucking children," he glared before yawning, "I won't deal with you guys messing with me all vacation."

"Oh hush, you're a big baby," Emma rolled her eyes, "I'm starving Gina."

"I know little Swan, me too. How about we get there, shower, and go out to dinner?" Regina suggested.

"I'd love that," Emma said.

"Hey, I want to go!" Lily whined.

"Not this time, sorry. I need to talk to Emma," Regina said.

Lily rolled her eyes, "If it's about you talking to Neal we already know."

Emma gasped and smacked her best friend arm, "Lily!"

"Shit, sorry," Lily said.

Regina raised her eyebrow, "It's not about that."

XXXXX

Once the arrived to Jefferson's house Emma could feel the tension between him and Regina. She didn't know what it was about but she hoped it wouldn't spoil their trip, if it wasn't already spoiled.

Regina showered first, when it was Emma's turn, she took the opportunity to talk to Jefferson. His beach house was very nice, the backdoor was about 50 feet from the water. He was standing outside with his feet in the water on the phone with his mother. Regina walked outside and stood next to him, she waited about 5 minutes for his phone call to end.

He hung up and looked at her, "I know what you're going to say."

"Oh really? Then why the hell are you making things so awkward, you flee to Miami are you serious?" Regina asked.

"I know it looks suspicious but I just had to get out of New York. Regina, what we did-"

"What you did," she corrected.

"What I did haunts me, what was I supposed to do?" Jefferson asked.

"You were suppose to keep your mouth shut and stay in New York. Then you let Lily know more than she should what the fuck?!" Regina snapped, "If Emma-"

"I won't say another word about it Regina, I swear," he stated.

"You better not," she said, "Or you won't live to regret it."

Emma watched them from the upstairs bedroom window, "Are they arguing?" Lily asked as she stepped next to her.

"I don't know but Regina's pissed," Emma said.

"She told me that he was acting weird," Lily shrugged.

"Hmm, he always came off that way. Like that dude from Twilight who was always stiff," she said.

Lily chuckled, "That's so spot on. I think he has a little Malfoy Draco in him too," she said.

"Whatever his problem is, he better stop pissing my girlfriend off, I don't like it when she's bothered unless it's coming from me," Emma stated.

Lily laughed, "You two are really just so perfect," she said sarcastically.

Regina and Emma had been gone for about an hour now, Lily was bored out of her mind. Jefferson had three extra rooms, perfect for all of them. She walked to Graham's room, his door was slightly open, she stepped inside. He was sitting up watching reruns of Friends, "You okay Lil?"

"Yeah? I'm just bored...can I watch TV with you?" Lily asked.

Graham looked over at the younger girl, she had on an oversized t-shirt, he cleared his throat, "Uh sure Lily, come on."

She slid into bed with him, "I didn't know you like Friends."

"I don't actually, I'm more a Full House type of guys but it's not on," he sighed.

"Well good because I like Friends," she smiled.

He looked at her and smiled, she nudged her with his shoulder, "Oh hush."

She giggled cutely before casually leaning her head on his shoulder. He glanced at her before focusing back on the TV. He couldn't rid his mind of the sudden thought and question: Lily is hot. Jesus, when did my best friend's little sister become so hot?

XXXXX

"So what do you have to talk to me about?" Emma asked before wiping her mouth. Regina had taken her to a grill by the beach, it was very nice.

"I uh," Regina swallowed, "Well for starters, I was wondering if you could tell me when your secret dinners with Neal started…"

Emma swallowed, Regina didn't look angry though, she looked...worried. Emma blinked before answering, "Well, we've only had dinner a few times. When I broke up with you, that's when they started. If you're uncomfo-"

"Do you enjoy them?" Regina asked fiddling with the small box in her hands.

Emma looked everywhere but the desperate chocolate eyes beaming at her, "Well yeah, I guess you can say I do. Neal's my friend though Regina, it's not what you think."

Regina gave a meek smile, "I understand dear."

"Is that all?" Emma asked.

"Yes...that's all," Regina said as she put the small box back in her pocket discreetly.

"I love you Regina, you know I only want you right?" Emma asked.

Regina shrugged, "I'm honestly not sure anymore."

"Regina...I don't want Neal," Emma scoffed.

"It's not about that Swan, it's about your happiness. I want to be the one to make you-"

"If that's what you want then stop lying and hiding stuff from me, something's going on and you think I can tell," Emma said.

"Emma, I have told you everything that can possible think of. All I care about now is keeping you with me, I don't want-...no, I can't lose you again," Regina said.

"You won't," Emma assured, "Just talk to me Regina."

Regina nodded, "Got it."

Regina and Emma entered the beach house and looked around. It was dark and quiet...too quiet. They exchanged looks before traveling upstairs, it's wasn't too late so everyone should be up. They entered the guest room where Lily was staying, "Lily?" Emma called.

Regina turned on the light and saw the bed empty, "Where could she be?"

Emma shrugged, turned off the light and left the room, she went to her brother's room with Regina following, "Graham?"

Regina flicked on the light, her eyes nearly fell out of her head when she saw Lily and Graham sleep in the bed together. All her sister was wearing was underwear and oversized t-shirt, her best friend had on nothing but his basketball shorts, "What the hell?!"

The odd couple jumped up, suddenly wide awake, Graham couldn't even comprehend what was going on because had her hands wrapped around his neck, "Gina chill!"

"What the hell are you doing in bed with my little sister?!" She yelled with rage in her eyes.

"Regina, it's not like that," Lily said trying to pull her sister off her friend.

"We were just sleeping, I swear," Graham wheezed out. He knew he was stronger than Regina of course but he'd never put his hands on her so he just waited until she realized that she had nothing to worry about.

"Exactly Gina," Lily breathed out.

Regina glared at Graham once more but she let him go, after all, she is fucking his little sister so she couldn't really get mad, "I'm sorry," she took a step back.

Emma stayed silent, she was observing. She could care less if they had sex all she could think about was the rage in Regina's eyes. In that moment, she looked like she had killed someone or had the ability to. It scared Emma.

Regina had noticed. Her behavior was new to Emma, sure the girl had seen her mad but never enraged. She really was upset because she knew what type of guy Graham was and didn't want him to hurt his sister, regardless of their friendship.

Lily looked at her sister, "Are you ok?" She asked, knocked Regina out of her thoughts.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. I'm just going to take a shower, excuse me," she quickly exited the room.

Emma and Lily looked at each other with confused eyes, "I've never seen her so mad," Emma muttered.

"Tell me about it," Lily muttered back.

XXXXX

"Gina?" Emma called while walking into the room.

Regina was in the bathroom connected to the room, "Yeah?"

"Are you alright?" Emma asked.

"I'm fine dear, I'll be out in a minute," Regina said.

"Uh ok, I'll be in the room with Lily," Emma replied.

"Alright," Regina said.

Emma was walking to the guest room when she heard her brother and Jefferson arguing in Jefferson's room, she went up to the door and pressed her ear against it.

"Dude you mean to tell me that Regina doesn't know what you did?!" Graham yelled.

"If she did, she'd kill me. I was suppose to throw him in the ocean, after she-"

"Wait wait wait...she? I thought she had nothing to do with it," Graham furrowed his eyebrows.

"She told you that? Dude no, she had a very big part in it all," Jefferson scoffed.

"So you mean to tell me that Regina helped you kill Haans?!" Graham asked completely shocked.

Emma gasped. What the fuck? She thought before going downstairs and storming out of the house.

"I don't really know how to explai-"

"I'll explain it," Regina said stepping into the room.

Graham walked over to her quickly, "You lied to me? You said you had nothing to do with Haans?!"

Regina sighed, "I know, I've been lying-"

"That's all you've been doing Regina! Then you have the nerve to get upset about Lily!?" He shoved her, "I trusted you with my sister! You think I don't know what happens when you two spend the night together?" He placed his hands on his head and looked up, "Oh my god, you touched my sister…" He glared at her, "With the same hands you killed Haans with."

"You don't understand-"

"I don't need to understand!" He yelled, "You're sick!"

She frowned, "No it's not-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR-"

"I DID IT ALL FOR EMMA! HE WAS GOING TO KILL HER!" She yelled.
