I can't do this...

The truth and a kiss

~Emma's POV~

I wake up in some place other than my parents place and I start to panic, but then I remember part last night as a headache rushes in and takes over my thoughts. I groan in pain and get up, making my way down the stairs I see as I exit the room I had slept in.

Wait...

I realize that I've been here before... I walk downstairs and see Regina sitting on the couch, fully dressed and looking out the window.

     "Regina?" I say softly and she looks up quickly and gives me a soft smile. "Come sit down. We need to talk..." Regina replies and moves over on the couch, making room for me.

"Why?" she asks suddenly.

"What?"

"Your arm..."

     "What about it?" I ask stubbornly and immediately regret it seeing the hurt in Regina's eyes. "I... I'm sorry..."

     "Why would you do that to yourself?" Regina asks softly, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Please talk to me... You can trust me..."

I sigh, debating in my head whether I should tell her the truth or blame the cat... But I don't have a cat... I just stand there and fall to the ground on my knees, tears flooding my face. In an instant, Regina is at my side and holding me in her lap and running her hands through my hair.

"I c-can't... Do t-this.." I whisper and burry my head in her neck.

"My dear, tell me what's wrong?"

"**I'm sorry, but this world is not my place. I've tried for so long to fix this and fit in, I've come to realize this world is full of sin. There's nothing for me here and I'm just a waste of space. I've got no reason to stay here in this awful place, it's a disgrace. I was misplaced, born in the wrong time and wrong place. It's okay though... Everyone's got their own fight, but I can't deal with the pain. I'm not a fighter anymore-"

Regina cut me off with a kiss, deep and passionate. Her arms snaked around my waist and I straddled her hips with my arms around her neck while the tears continued to fall. We pulled away  panting and I rest my forehead on hers.

"Look at me" She said lifting up my chin, "This is your place, you were meant to be here. No matter what anyone says, you are strong. You are loved. You are a fighter. You are the savior. You are beautiful. If you can't deal with the pain alone, I will help you. You said you would find my happy ending and well... You are my happy ending. So you have to stay. You have to keep fighting. You can do this..." Regina said softly and kiss me again, this time softer and more gentle.

     "Regina..." I whisper and she looks up at me.

"I love you"

"I love you too"
