Emma and Regina had been going through a rough patch, but to Emma...She knew it wouldn't end well. She didn't want it to end at all, but it was for the best. All she and Regina ever seemed to do....Was fight. Every day it was a guess to see who would start it first and what stupid thing they would fight about.

On the nights Regina fell asleep, would Emma lay in her bed wide awake...Thinking about everything. Wondering where they went wrong when they were doing so great. On the nights Emma fell asleep, Regina would be laying in her bed...Crying her eyes out not knowing if the next morning Emma would end things with her. On the nights she didn't cry, she would think about the good times they had.

Sometimes their fights got so bad, Emma would walk out of the house, get in her car and just drive. She wouldn't go anywhere in particular...She would just drive and drive. She would switch her phone off, turn the radio off and just drive until she calmed down, Regina would sit at home worried that Emma wouldn't come back but she did every time...Because Emma loved Regina.

But enough was enough.

Enough fighting.

Enough crying.

Enough of being angry.

Enough of them.

Emma couldn't face Regina, she couldn't say the things she wanted to say to her, to look in her eyes and speak. So instead she wrote her a letter.

To Regina

From the moment I first saw you, I knew we would be great friends. I didn't think we'd become more but on the day you said you liked me, I never felt so happy...Until a few months later when you said you love me. You didn't mean it as a friend, you truely loved me. I remember our first kiss, it was awkward but you said it was cute. I turned my head to ask you a question and you were going to kiss my cheek...When our lips touched it felt so amazing. I remember after the small peck, you smiled shyly and all I wanted to do was kiss you properly, so I did. I wrapped my arms around your waist, pulled you close and kissed you. It wasn't a quick sloppy kiss, it was slow and passionate.

But as the months went on, we started drifting apart...I don't know why...Maybe it's because I made a couple of new friends and I was always with them and you were with your friends...I don't know why though, they treat you like shit. ..But the thing is, we just seem to keep fighting and I don't like that. The spaces between us, they keep getting bigger and I don't want that. I don't want us to fight, it means I'm making you un happy and it also makes me un happy.

Regina Mills, I'll always love you. But I have to end things between us. It's for the best.

Goodbye my Queen.

Emma. X

As Emma pushed the letter through the door she quickly wiped away a tear and walked back to her car and drove away from Regina..Forever.

Regina grabbed the letter and quickly read it, a smile on her face...Until she read further and her smile turned into a frown and the tears poured from her eyes.

She had lost Emma, but was it really for the best? Surely they could have worked everything out...But Emma didn't want her to hurt anymore.

Emma gripped the wheel hard, and gritted her teeth as she held back tears, she wanted to turn around and go back to Regina, tear the letter up and kiss her...But she was too late...Or was she?

She thought back to the good times and smiled. All the promises they made, she intended to keep them. She loved Regina Mills and every relationship has their worse moments and this was theirs, they could and they would work through them.

Emma quickly looked around for other cars and when she saw the road clear, she turned around and began to drive back to Regina's house.

She had a smile on her face, the tears dried up on her cheeks but she was nervous...What if it was too late.

"No." She said to herself and shook her head. "No more being negative, all positive."

She was close to Regina's house, so close she saw Regina step out of her house, wiping her eyes and a frown on her face until she saw Emma's car. Her heart leaped and she nearly ran down the street...But in that split second Emma looked at Regina everything changed.

A car started speeding towards her, but by the time she moved the car it was too late. It crashed head on into hers, her head hit the window with such impact the window smashed.

Regina's heart dropped and she quickly ran towards the car crash.

She ran to Emma's car and she froze when she saw no movement and blood on her head.

"Don't you dare." Regina warned and ran to the drivers side and opened the door. "Don't you dare." She repeated and knelt down and looked at Emma's face, her head rolled to one side facing Regina.

Her eyes opened slightly and she managed a small smile, a smile full of pain but happiness too. She tried to move her hand but she couldn't, she was weak. Her eyes slowly closed again and Regina eyed Emma's chest...There was no movement.

"Don't you dare!" She said loudly. She grabbed Emma's hand and stroked it gently. "Don't you fucking dare leave me Emma Swan." Regina said her voice breaking.

Regina's body shook with her crying, she let go of Emma's hand as she fell on to her back, the pain too much. She had lost the woman she loved a lot. She instantly regretted the fights, she regretted not telling Emma she loved her more, she regretted every bad thing she had said and done to make her cry....But most of all, she regretted not being there to stop Emma from leaving, and now...She had lost her. Forever.
