It had been three years that Robin and Regina had been together. Three long years she had been lying to herself and lying to everyone else. Why? Because the woman she was madly in love with, the woman she had been madly in love with for six years was with someone else. When they broke up, she was happy...But she didn't have the heart to break up with Robin.
Until the Universe gave her a gift. To most people it would crush them, but to Regina it was the best gift she had recieved so far.
Robin had cheated on her with his ex, Marian. Giving her the perfect excuse to break up with him without feeling guilty.
She was now on her way to see Emma and tell her how she felt, she had waited long enough.
As she was about to knock on the door, Emma came up behind her.
"Hey Gina." She greeted the dark haired woman. "What's up?"
"I came to tell you something. I don't want to waste another second because honestly, I think I might burst. Since we met seven years ago, I had the cliché moment of love at first sight. I loved you then and I still love you to this very day. I was so scared to say something but seeing you and Killian together made me feel confident in telling you because I realised what I could lose if I didn't speak up. I was waiting for the right time and I found it. Emma Swan I love you."
Emma smirked and crossed her arms. "I know."
"Ho-How?" Regina asked stunned.
"Because your best friend can't keep secrets."
"I'm going to kill Kathryn...Anyway...Do you love me? Or just like me?" Regina asked hopeful.
Emma nodded her head. "Yes, I do love you...Why do you think I was with Killian? Because I love you."
"Emma that makes no sense."
"I was with him to make you jealous, to see if you loved me."
"You rubbed in my face how happy you were with him. How you were going to marry him and have children with him. You talked every day to me about how much you loved him. Crushing me, breaking my heart. Making me wish I was him, wishing that it was me you felt that way about. You sometimes gave me little glimpses of hope, I tried to take no notice of it because I thought you were just being friendly...But it was so hard because I love you...But all along you were playing me." Regina said angry and hurt.
"I..." Emma began and looked down not being able to look into Regina's eyes. "I didn't think of it like that."
"Save it. Any chance of us being together is gone. You played me Emma. You messed around with my feelings over and over. I don't want to be with someone like that."
"But I love you." Emma said as tears filled her eyes. "And I know even though I've hurt you, you still love me."
"I do love you." Regina smiled, ignoring the tears that slowly fell from her eyes. "But I love me more."
Without saying another word, ignoring Emma's desperate cries to come back. Ignoring her apologises Regina walked away.
One Month Later
It had been a month since Regina and Emma last spoke. Regina still cried every night...Except for last night when she finally fell asleep without a single tear escaping her eyes. She was finally moving on.
She layed in bed reading a book, she enjoyed the quietness and alone time, which was disturbed by the ringing of her phone. Without looking at who was calling her, she answered.
"Regina Mills."
"Hey Gina."
Regina froze and closed her book slowly. "Emma."
"Don't speak, just listen. I'm sorry for what I did, I know it was wrong. I was stupid and wasn't thinking. I just wanted to see if you had feelings for me, I just wanted to know if we had a chance and when I saw you with Robin it crushed me. Why do you think I kissed Killian that time at the hospital when we had all gone out to a party and Robin got stabbed and at the hospital they said he'd he okay and you kissed him. I couldn't handle seeing you two being happy and in love. I wish it was us. I lo-"
So I cut you off
"Don't. You don't love me. If you loved me you wouldn't have played with my feelings for so long. Doing it once, I would have understood because we all do stupid things when we're scared or nervous, but you did it multiple times. Lied multiple times. You were selfish, thinking only about your feelings not mine, not even Killian's."
I don't need your love
"Regina I fucking love you though. With all of my heart." Emma choked back a sob. "I need you."
"But I don't need you. I don't need your love. All I need is to love myself and I do. I love myself more than I have ever loved someone else."
'Cause I already cried enough
"Every night I have cried over you Emma. Every single night, enough is enough. Enough crying over someone that isn't worth my tears and someone who certainly isn't worth my time."
I've been done
I've been movin' on since we said goodbye
"The hard part is letting go and moving on, but once you get over the shock and it all sinks in and you've cried, it gets eaiser. Trust me I know. Letting go is the first step to moving on so when I walked away from you, that was me moving on and you should do the same."
"I don't want to do the same. I love you. I want to show you that I'm sorry. Please give me a chance. Regina I lo-"
I cut you off
I don't need your love, so you can try all you want
Your time is up, I'll tell you why
"Enough Emma. I've told you before. You don't love me. I don't need your love. It's getting late I'm going to bed now."
"No. Regina wait."
You say you're sorry
"I'm so sorry, can we atleast be friends? Start new properly? Please."
But it's too late now
"No. We can't be anything. I will never forgive you for what you've done. I'm happy on my own."
So save it, get gone, shut up
"So what you need to do, is be the strong and mature one. Hang up the phone. Delete my number, never contact me again. Don't even speak to me in passing. Just keep your lips sealed or I will break your jaw and make sure you never speak to me or anyone else again."
'Cause if you think I care about you now
Well, boy, I don't give a fuck
"Because if you think I have an ounce of love in my body for you, you're wrong. I don't love you. I don't like you. I don't care about you. All I feel towards you is anger and hatred. I don't want your apologies. I don't want your I love you's. I certainly don't want you in my life. I don't give a fuck about you. Goodbye Miss Swan."
And with that, Regina hung up the phone. She set it down gently on her bedside table before leaning back and sighing happily. She felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
This was better in the long run, not being with someone like that would save her a lot of heart ache in the future.
Her phone began to ring again and as she turned her head, she saw it was Emma.
"Rule one...Don't pick up the phone...She's only calling because she's alone."
She smiled before going back to her book, ignoring her phone.
Emma would soon get the message.
A/N: Okay, not gonna lie...The next ones will probably be all of Dua Lipa's songs because I'm actually in love with her and I'm obsessed with her songs. Especially this one 😂😂
