Sunset Bench|| An Outlaw Queen Fanfic

Chapter Five // Her Front Porch

A couple weeks later.. Regina was released and prescribed some anti-depression medication, didn't seem to help her a whole lot though. Emma had been staying with her in the hospital, every night and Robin would visit her every single day. But now, Emma is staying with Regina in her home for awhile until she is sure Regina will be alright.

"Regina, wake up." Emma whispered tugging her arm gently.

Regina groaned. "What time is it?" Regina asked, her eyes still closed.

"Like 9 A.M." Emma replied.

Regina let out another groan. "I gotta get ready for work." Regina said rubbing her eyes.

Emma nodded. "You hungry?" Emma asked.

"Very. But leave the cooking to me please, the last thing I need is this house down in ashes." Regina answered.

"I'm not going to cook, I'm gonna make something called, now I don't know if you've ever heard of it." Emma paused and came closer to her ear. "Cereal." Emma whispered.

"No way!" Regina replied sarcastically.

Emma rolled her eyes. "Now get ready." Emma said getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

Regina sat in her office filling out all of her late paperwork, and she had a lot from the weeks she was in the hospital. She was still embarrassed about the whole situation, especially when they found out what she did to herself. But Robin was on her mind today, she had told him at the hospital that they were only best friends, she was too embarrassed to grow the courage to admit the truth. Regina was just about to stamp a paper when she heard a knock on the door. Great, who now? She thought to herself making her way to the door, opening it quickly. Candace?

"Are you Regina Mills?" She asked.

"Oh.. yeah, and you're Candace." Regina answered.

"How do you know who I am? Did Robin tell you?" She asked, coming off with a rude tone which insulted Regina.

"How the hell do you know me?" Regina asked, making sure to come off just as rude as she was.

"He's told me about you. Now tell me what you know about what happened." She demanded.

"Hey, he only told me that he broke up with you because he didn't feel the same for you anymore." Regina said holding up her hands.

"Really? So that's what he told you?" She asked.

"Yes.. why, is there more?" Regina asked raising an eyebrow.

"He broke up with me, because he said he had feelings for some other woman named, Regina." Candace explained.

Regina's eyes widened. No no no, he didn't say that Regina. She's lying, he doesn't love you, he's your friend! She shook her head. "We're not together if that's what you think, we're just friends okay?" Regina assured her.

"No, you won't be friends after this." Candace said.

"After wha-" Regina felt Candace push her back. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Regina shouted.

Candace got closer to Regina, who was on the floor in pain. "What, are you just going to sit there?" She mocked, getting in Regina's face.

Regina looked deadly into that girls eyes, and saw red before socking her right in the face, and tackling her to the floor. Candace pulled Regina's hair, which urged Regina to come on stronger. Regina threw her against the wall as she tried to stand. But all of a sudden, Robin walked in.

"Hey! What's going on?!" Robin asked.

"Robin." Regina breathed out.

"I just came to greet Regina, and tell her I was happy for you and her, but then when I started talking about how we met, she started fighting me!" Candace yelled.
