OUAT IMAGINES (COMPLETED)

12

Imagine that you've been living in Storybrooke for only one week, and you only have one friend: Ruby Lucas.

You have severe anxiety, and she seems to be the only one who gets that.

You have a job interview with Belle at the library later on, and it just so happens to be over the phone.

Ruby texts you and asks you to meet her at Granny's for lunch.

You sigh and crawl out of your comfortable bed. You get dressed and you walk to Granny's. As the door opens, you can already see Ruby sitting at a booth in the back.

"Hey Y/N! Come sit!" she says waving at you. People look, and your heart starts beating fast.

Walking over slowly, you sit down in front of the brunette woman.

"Hey, Ruby. Thanks for inviting me..." You say, quietly.

She nods her head and hands you a menu. You quickly glance over it, deciding on a cup of hot cocoa and a sugar cookie.

"So, how are you feeling?" Ruby asks, as she hands the menus to Granny.

Your palms are sweaty; you wipe them on your pants. "Um...well...." You feel as if your throat is closing up.

"Hey, don't push yourself. Just breathe..." She says, resting her hand on top of yours.

You nod. 

"I believe in you, Y/N. I know you can do this, and I know you will get this job. You have to stop putting yourself down, or else you won't go anywhere in life." She runs her thumb across the back of your hand.

For some reason, tears form in your eyes. You smile wide. You had someone who believed in you and loved you.

"Thank you, Ruby..."

Granny brings you guys' food over and you make small talk until its time for your interview.
