I Choose You

Hurting

"Well you better hope to hell you didn't bring anything else back." That was the last thing the broken woman said as she stormed out the diner, all eyes on her, except those of Robin, Roland, and Marian. She opened the door and looked back at the family. There were still in their own world. The sight only made her eyes fill up more with tears. She let out one as she crossed the threshold and closed the door, leaving the diner in complete silence except for the sound of Robin and Marian celebrating that they had each other again.

Regina had plan to run immediately after she exited that door, but stopped right in her tracks as she noticed something was off. It was snowing. Which was weird since it was only early May. It couldn't have been snowing. When she entered the diner with Robin, the temperature was no where near freezing point. The queen knew deep down that she should find out the reason behind this unusual snow but chose to ignore it so she could handle her feelings that were overflowing in her body. Regina shivered in the cold and went to go quickly walk to her car, but again stopped when she was under the arch where she and Robin had just shared that glorious kiss. She shed another tear and off she went to her car. Once at the vehicle, she immediately entered in,put in the key, and turned the car on, except one thing didn't turn on. The engine. She frustratingly turned the key all the way numerous times, but the engine never turned on. She just laid back and sighed as she figured the car was just part frozen and still needed to warm up. So she sat there, thinking about what just happened, how angry she was, how sad she was. The evil queen just sat in her car and cried.

Meanwhile at the diner

The Locksley family are seen in one of the booths talking. Suddenly, Roland put on a saddened face and shook his father's arm. "Papa?" asked the brown, curly-haired boy. "What is it?" the father answered. His smile disappeared when he looked at his son's face. "Where's Gina'?" the boy replied. That question made Robin gasp. He returned back to reality and felt a wave of guilt ride over him. The man felt terrible. He had forgotten all about Regina and realized that she saw him reunite with his supposedly not dead wife. The man scanned the diner. No Regina. "Who's Gina?" Marian asked. Roland answered her question saying, "Papa's girlfriend." The woman's eyes widened and she turned to look at Robin but was too late. Robin was already out the door.

Robin scanned the area and also noticed that it was snowing. He knew he should find the cause of this but his mind was too focused on finding Regina. He noticed the arch in front of him where they shared that kiss. Robin just felt even more guilty and thought of how much Regina must be hurting. He then cupped his hands over his mouth and screamed out her name. "Regina!" The woman heard his plead from inside of her car. She looked outside her window to see Robin yelling. She immediately put her head down scared that he might see her. However, that failed because she ended up hitting her head on the steering wheel causing a very loud honk to come out of the car. "Dammit," the woman muttered under her breath. Robin turned his head to the location of the sound, letted out a sigh of relief, placed a smile on his face, and immediately ran to her. Regina gasped as her eyes met with Robin's through the window and quickly locked the car out of fear. The man finally reached the automobile and pulled the handle. His smile disappeared when he realized she had locked the car. Robin banged hard on the window and pleaded once more," Regina let me in! I'm sorry! Let's talk! Please don't shut me out..." She turned her head and stared back at Robin's saddened face. A tear came out and rolled down her cheek. " Regina," the thief whispered her name as he placed his hand on the window. She cried even more tears and place her hand where his was. He instantly let out a smile. She, in return, let out one last tear and muttered, "I'm sorry." Robin's smile left his face once again when he realized what she had said. Regina looked away from him. She placed a grip on the key, turned it once more, and brought the engine back to life. Robin reacted by banging against the window and pleading once more," Regina don't do this. Don't do it, Regina. Come back to me. Please..." This time he was the one to shed a tear. She never once looked back at him. The woman that was in so much pain, the woman who used to be the evil queen, the woman that used to be the only woman in Robin's life, the woman who was hurting, simply stepped on the gas pedal, and drove away.
