Friendship breakup
Just one of my own now. Set in season 1, Mary Margaret's feelings after talking with Emma about her leaving town.
How could she? Did she not care about our friendship at all? Emma had told me that I was her family, yet she was just going to leave. Sure, I got mad and said some things I probably shouldn't have said, but she didn't even try to fight for our friendship. Wasn't worried about how I or Henry feel knowing she was bailing on us. Sure, I had other friends, and I could find another roommate if I really wanted to, but that wasn't the point. We had gotten so close, I felt like I could trust Emma with anything and now I just felt betrayed. I felt like I had betrayed myself and my own standards by being so harsh with her, but it had to be done. She had just made me so mad- pushed me right over the edge and I couldn't hold back anymore. I didn't want to stop being Emma's friend, not really. There was some sort of bond between us that I couldn't explain. But I couldn't let her push me around and hurt me like she had either. The ball was in Emma's court. She knew that if she came back I would be willing to wipe the slate clean, start afresh. But she had to want to make our friendship work without running away. I really hoped she came back, I really did. Because when she left she tore our friendship into pieces. And in doing so she broke my heart.
