Figuring Out Love

"....She....knows..?"

(:Third Perspective:) _:Morning, Maya's house

"Y-you mean.... Regina... came over....?" Maya managed to get out, her heart racing.

Rachel nodded in response.

Mackenzie squinted at a few bandages that Rachel had on her arm and jaw, but didn't ask, not wanting to invade her privacy, since Rachel wasn't paying attention to them.

"Did- did she say anything about me?" Maya was dying to know. She missed Regina so.

"No.. I'm sorry, Maya." Rachel shook her head sadly.

"Oh..."

"And explain the reason she was there again?" Clara smiled, sipping her tea.

Maya looked out the window, sad that Regina wouldn't visit her.

Rachel looked up at her, "Somehow she found out that Ira was st-hanging out at my place."

"And Ira doesn't know?" Mackenzie asked, covering her mouth as she bit some of her omelette. She pat Maya on the back to comfort her, receiving a halfhearted smile.

"I don't think he even knows that I know who Regina is, other than me hanging out with you guys. He still has no idea a Glitter Warrior." Rachel said.

"I'm sure Regina misses you as well." Clara smiled to Maya.

"You shouldn't get your hopes up over villains." A voice said from another booth behind them.

"It's hard on Maya, Natalie. She hasn't had an ex-friend before Regina." Rachel responded in Maya's defense, knowing exactly who was talking.

Natalie stood up and walked over to them, looking down at them since they were seated.

Rachel stood up and towered over Natalie, "Don't be so harsh."

"She needs to know not everything is sunshine and rainbows." Natalie shot back.

"That doesn't mean you have to remind her every other hour!! It's okay to miss someone!" Rachel said, "Besides, you need to stop randomly sneaking up on us. It's weird."

"Tch. You wouldn't understand." Natalie crossed her arms and looked away, pouting.

"You don't have to be mature all the time, Natalie. You're only eleven. Enjoy it." Clara smiled, Mackenzie nodded in agreement.

"But it won't matter in the future!" Natalie said.

"But they'll give you good memories." Mackenzie said, backing Clara up.

"So?"

"So make yourself happy memories." Rachel said.

"Rachel? Can you tell me what happened with Regina?" Maya's voice was a quiet whisper, a desperate beg to know more about her ex-friend.

Rachel back down, giving Maya's hand a quick squeeze to try comforting as Rachel smiled.

"Yeah, I'll tell you."

(:Story Perspective:) _:Flashback, the day before, Rachel's house

"Regina?! What are you doing here?!" Rory's voice cracked as he gaped at the red-eyed blond girl standing in the doorway.

"Ira was here, huh?" Regina's voice was sharp as she glared at Rachel, ignoring Rory. She walked forward and slammed the door.

"How do you know?" Rachel raised an eyebrow.

"It's obvious!! You're trying to manipulate him." Regina declared, pointing a finger at her, accusing her of the wrong blame.

"He comes here on his own accord."
