Falling In Love

Part 15

Emma's POV

We all met up at the castle around six thirty PM. I promised them I'll tell what happened with A as well with what happened with Kathryn. My stomach churned, turning upside down into the pit. I'm afraid of what Regina might say. She could blame me for Kathryn's death, after all it's my fault. Everywhere I go, death follows me. It's like I'm curse, as If I deserve pain. Now, someone is out to destroy my life, the life I have always wanted. My heart will shatter in a billion pieces if I lose everyone I care about. I almost lost Regina. All because of one stupid mistake. I swear, when I find out who this son of a bitch is, I won't just be kicking there ass. My jacket, it was meant to be armor to protect me from getting hurt by those I love. But now it's just a reminder that I have to protect those I love. Nothing's more important. Now I'm always frightened what A might do. I am so frightened that someone will die, just like Kathryn or get hurt because of me. And I'll never forgive myself. I need to keep a look out for when A strikes, and it's going to be soon. Since Ruby came between her plan, A will mostly likely to come after her. I made a plan, so I know that all of us are safe. From now on, either me or Regina will walk Ruby to see, including me walking Regina if Ruby falls ill. We all get the flu, right? This plan will end until A is revealed. Although, I wouldn't mind walking Regina to school every single day. I'm not a morning person but I can be for her.

End POV

The cold warm breeze fell through their hair. Regina and Emma sat down on the platform, while Ruby stood behind them, holding onto the wooden ledge. Regina placed her hand on Emma's thigh, making her whole body shiver even more, and not because of the weather. The brunette kissed her gently on her soft lips, squeezing Emma's thigh softly. "Go ahead, you can tell us darling". Regina's warm smile was all Emma needed to see. The blonde took a shaky breath as she opened her mouth for the words she wanted to say. Ruby crossed her arms, "It's okay Emma". Emma smiled at Ruby, who smiled back.

"I got the text on the first day, right after you asked me if I knew which class I was going to. The text said, "I know what you did". Emma's eye turned into glass, swallowing the lodged in her throat. She shuddered out a breath, continuing on. "There's a reason why I couldn't tell anyone because I did do something. I'm not proud of it but it was the only way".

Ruby placed herself next to Emma, on the left side. Regina grabbed the blonde's hand, comforting her, as Ruby settled one hand on Emma's back. "It's okay Emma, I'm sure whatever you did wasn't so bad", The brunette, ruby sincerely said. The blonde quickly smiled, closing her eyes and opening them back up to the green grass and blue sky in front of them.

"What I did is far worse". Emma's voice cracked underneath the pressure. She refused to make any contact as her tears gushed out from her glossy eyes. Regina cupped Emma's face in the palm of her hands, holding her delicately. The brunette smeared off her tears, kissing both her cheek and eyelid.

"Whatever you have done, doesn't change anything. We promise you we won't abandon you. Ruby and I are your friends and we love you. Although I hope to be more then that". Regina smiled, forcing out a small giggle out of Emma.

"Okay, I was thirteen at the time when it happened. I been bounced around foster homes all my life, and just when I thought I found the right family, they send me away. So my last foster home wasn't all too great. Lily Paige, I met her in the foster home. She was around sixteen years old but that girl was so sweet and I was practically her little sister. I always dreamt of having a big sister. Anyways, we lived with a man named mike. Me and Lily thought, he was a nice guy but we were wrong". Emma sob's reached a high volume. "I came home and grabbed a soda out of the fridge", The blonde's lung filled up with smoke, ready to be popped out. Regina wrapped her stronger arms as Ruby held on tightly to her hand. The blonde sobbed violently against Regina's chest, clasping her hand that grasped on the brunette's shirt.
