Outlaw Queen || I Never Thought (on hold)

Chapter 3

Buzz.......Buzz.........Buzz

My phone sounds at eight in the morning. I answer the phone to find a frightened Emma on the phone. I let Henry spend the night at her house last night so I could focus on work.

"Regina! Come to the police department!" screams Emma through the phone and bursts my ears.

"What happened?!" I say in a shaky voice.

I hear Emma start to sob as I say," Emma? What's wrong?"

The words that rolled off the end of her tongue made me drop the phone. I hear it hit the ground hard.

"It's Henry. He is hurt. I don't know what to do. He isn't breathing well and he isn't moving. I'm in front of the police department. He was hit by a car. It came hit him hard and then drove away quickly."

I run across my room throw on my blue dress and black coat and start to head out the door. I run down the stair case to find Robin sitting in the kitchen with Roland. I start to tear up and then I break down. I run over to Robin and start sobbing into his chest.

"Regina. What's wrong? Are you hurt!" says Robin as he holds my head as a tear runs down my face and lands on his hand.

"Henry..." I stop then start again," He's hurt. He was hit by a car."

Robin grabs Roland and me and rushes us out to the car. Robin starts the engine as I hold Roland in my lap as we drive to the police department. I hold him to my chest in fear. Fear that I won't get to see Henry again. Fear that he won't ever talk again. Fear that I will never see his smile again or hear the word "Mom" come out of his mouth.

We arrive at the department when I see Henry when I see Henry. My Henry...laying with blood pouring out of his head. I cover Roland's eyes as he screams," Mommy! What happened?"

I hand Roland off to Robin and tell him," Go! Now!" Robin immediately drives off away from the horrible scene.

I run over to Henry as I see Emma trying to get his heartbeat going. Emma's face is red with tears rolling down her face. I start to break down as I see Henry so hurt and I wasn't there to save him.

"Did you call the hospital?" I ask as I see Emma try to help Henry. Emma nods in confirmation.

I look at Henry as I see his body is not moving. All I want him to say is one last word. I just want to let him know I love him. I start to feel my eyes swell even more as I watch my son perish before my eyes.

The red and white lights of the ambulance is coming in our direction as for the sirens blaring. I watch as a woman and man paramedic comes out and helps Henry onto a stretcher. The woman checking his pulse and the man puts the stretcher in the back with the woman and shuts the door.

Emma and I stand up as the paramedic starts," Everything is going to be alright. We are going to try our best to save him."

The ambulance drives off towards the hospital as I watch the lights shrink away.
