gxg- Never Gonna Happen. (Regina George x reader) - Renee Rapp

The hospital.

As I read Regina's heartfelt words, tears welled up in my eyes, blurring the ink on the paper. Her raw honesty and vulnerability hit me like a ton of bricks, With each word, I felt my heart swell with a mixture of love, longing, and regret. Love for Regina, for her courage in laying bare her feelings. Longing for a connection that had always been there, just beneath the surface. And regret for all the moments we had let slip away, all the words left unsaid.

I should have trusted her.

 if I just used my brain then Maybe things wouldn't have spiralled out of control, and maybe Regina wouldn't be lying in a hospital bed right now. But dwelling on the past wouldn't change anything. All I could do was face the present, and at this moment, I knew one thing for sure—I loved Regina too, more than I had ever dared to admit. As tears streamed down my cheeks, I clutched the letter to my chest, feeling a bittersweet mix of sorrow and hope wash over me. Whatever the future held, one thing was certain—Regina's love had changed everything, and I wasn't about to let it slip away.  

I needed to go see her.

Luckily for me, there was only one hospital close by.

 I told the receptionist, the patient's name, and she immediately told me where to find Regina. The hospital corridors felt unfamiliar, the antiseptic scent stinging my nostrils as I hurried along, my heart pounding with urgency. Each step brought a mix of hope and fear, uncertainty gnawing at my insides. Finally, I reached Regina's room, my hand trembling as I pushed open the door.

Inside, Regina lay still, her eyes closed as if lost in a deep sleep. I approached her bedside cautiously, unsure of what to expect. "Regina," I whispered, my voice barely above a murmur as I reached out to touch her hand. "It's me, Y/n. Do you recognize me?"

There was a moment of silence, broken only by the soft hum of machines keeping watch over Regina's slumber. Then, slowly, her eyelids fluttered open, revealing eyes clouded with confusion.

"Y/n?" she murmured, her voice laced with uncertainty as she gazed up at me. "I'm sorry, but I don't... I don't remember you." she retracted her hand back quickly.

My heart sank at her words, a cold wave of disappointment crashing over me. How could she not remember? We had shared so much together, laughed, cried, and confided in each other. But now, it was as if those memories had been wiped away, leaving nothing but an empty void. 

Regina's denial hit me like a punch to the gut, the words stinging with rejection. 

"Regina, please," I pleaded, my voice cracking with emotion. "You... you told me you loved me. You wrote it in a letter, just before..." My voice trailed off, unable to finish the sentence as tears welled up in my eyes.

Regina's mother entered the room, looking sincere as she heard my words. 

Regina's expression was full of confusion as she glanced between her mother and me. "I... I don't remember," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "I don't remember a lot of things"

Her mother placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, her eyes filled with sympathy. "It's okay, sweetheart," she murmured, her tone gentle and reassuring. "You've been through a lot. It's normal to feel confused."

"who is this mom?" she looked too me. Her mother was quick too reply. 

"This is your girlfriend" her mom winks at me. Regina's face quickly turned too disgust. 

"what ew I'm not gay" 

 "I suppose I will go, I don't want too cause any issues" I Immediately reply, feeling my heart shatter by the second.

Regina's voice, soft and uncertain, stopped me in my tracks. I turned back to look at her, my heart pounding in my chest. "Y/n," she said, her voice barely above a whisper, "I don't remember... but I want to."

Her words hung in the air, heavy with unspoken emotion. Despite the uncertainty clouding her mind, there was a glimmer of something familiar in her eyes, a flicker of recognition that sent a surge of hope coursing through my veins. I turn around smiling heading over too her, "but" Regina immediately says, "were friends y/n, I don't know where my mom or you got that from, but its false, okay weirdo"

 I smile there is the Regina I know however Regina's words stung, like a sudden slap across the face, but I refused to let the hurt show. Instead, I plastered a smile on my face, masking the disappointment that threatened to engulf me. "Friends it is, then," I replied, forcing nonchalance into my tone. "Just friends." 

"sorry, Y/n but Regina has too see the doctor in 10 minutes so I cant give you very long"

"That's fine Miss George" I nod 

 her mom smiles at the both of us, not before winking at me once more, and then exits the room. 

"seriously though me liking you is so funny, I'm straight and that is not changing" 

"Oh beautiful, so is pasta until it gets wet" Regina's cheeks flushed crimson at my remark, her attempt to maintain composure crumbling in the face of my teasing. "Are you always this annoying?" she shot back, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of irritation and amusement.

I grinned in response, relishing the playful banter between us. "Only on days that end in 'y'," I quipped, unable to resist pushing her buttons a little further.

Regina let out an exasperated sigh, but there was a hint of laughter in her voice as she shook her head. "Well, lucky me," she replied, her lips quirking up into a reluctant smile.

"I'm going too go now, but I will come tomorrow Is that okay" I ask shyly 

Regina's expression softened, a trace of warmth flickering in her eyes as she nodded. "Yeah, that's... that's fine," she replied, her voice quieter than usual.

A sense of relief washed over me at her response, grateful for the opportunity to spend more time with her, even if it was just as friends. "Great, I'll see you later then blondie," I said, mustering up a smile despite the lingering uncertainty.

 "blondie, now that does sound familiar" "oh would you like me too stop using it" I question hoping I didn't offend her.

Regina's lips twitched into a small smile, a hint of amusement dancing in her eyes. "Nah, it's fine," she replied casually, her tone light. "Besides, I kind of like it when you call me that."

I couldn't help but return her smile, feeling a surge of warmth at her words. "Well, in that case, blondie it is," I said, a playful glint in my eye. 

"what did I used to call you" Regina questions me Before I could respond it was like Regina read my mind "don't say your girlfriend" she says as rolls her eyes.

"you used to call me 'nerd,'" a fond smile crossing my lips as I recalled Regina's playful teasing. "Could I not have been more creative?" she joked.

 "not too late for a new one" I smile, anyway, see you tomorrow blondie" 

"bye sprout" I turn around 

"SPROUT is the best you can up with" I tease. 

"shoo leave me too brainstorm" we both laugh, at her comment, my heart fluttered, she was trying, maybe there is hope. 

I left Regina's hospital room, determined too win Regina Georges heart... AGAIN.
