Once Upon A Time: Remember Me

Ten

It's been a week since I left Jefferson. A whole torturous week. My whole body hurts. I've never felt so bad in my life. Despite having told myself to find Henry and discover how to break the curse, I've stayed home all week, mourning the loss of him. I miss him. His smile. His laugh. His gentle touches when I get nervous.

Mary Margaret came to visit a few days but but I refused to let her in. She doesn't understand. She said she'd met a guy called David who was sweet. She said Emma was her new roommate. She said that she was happy but she missed me. She said that Jefferson missed me.

I stumble into the kitchen, looking for the cupboard with the cookies in the dark. It's one in the morning and light is too much. I'm just about to give up when someone hammers on my door. Annoyed, I ignore it but then I hear a yell. "Amy!" Jefferson.

I don't reply. I try to stay quiet. But before I know it, I'm at the door and I'm crying. "Hi," I say. He looks drunk. He also looks like he's been crying.

"Never do that to me again," he whispers and wraps me in a huge hug. I rest my head in the crook of his neck, sighing in relief at the comfort of him just being there. "Amy, I don't know why you needed space or who attacked you or why I get this feeling that we've known each other for eternity but I fucking love you," he says. "I want to be the one you wake up to every morning and I don't want us to be apart ever again. I love you."

"I love you too," I whisper. I don't care if he can hear me or not because all my emotions are poured into our kiss. He pushes me against the wall and I wrap my legs around his waist. "I love you," I repeat, speaking to his lips. That's all there is now. Love and lips and a bright spark of a feeling in my heart that makes me think that maybe it's not such a bad curse after all.
