Chapter 29

EMMA
It had been twelve days since I was kicked out of my own house. Twelve days since me and Regina last spoke. Twelve days since I last seen her. Everyone I walked passed seemed to give me the dirties...They all hated me.
But I still don't understand why? I didn't do anything. And I'm telling the truth...I bet my life on it. I love Regina with all my heart, I'd never do something like this to her. I could never even bring myself to try and do it...she means to much to me...she's my happy ending.
I need to get to the bottom of this and fast but for now I need some sleep to prepare myself for tomorrow.

The next morning I was awoken by a knock on the window of my yellow bug. Yes I slept in my car because I had no where else to go. It was Mary Margret Blanchard. I wound down my window to greet the pixie hair cut woman "hello Mary Margret, can I help you?" I said while squinting my eyes at the bright morning light. "I Hurd the news about you and Regina...I believe you" She admitted. I sat up right and leaned on the inside of the car door "Wait, you do?" I said confused but relieved someone does "yes, I do. I know you...you would never hurt someone you love...I mean you helped me with the whole Kathryn situation and we where only friends...but Regina is your soon to be wife and it's obvious you wouldn't do that." She smiled "thank you, at least someone believes me...but those photos ..." I began "I have some ideas, meet me at granny's diner this afternoon around 3:00 I'll tell you everything I know" she said "oh and also my apartment has a spare bedroom if your looking for a place to stay" she said kindly with a wave goodbye.

I wound the window of my car back up and slouched down into my seat. I'm thankful I have someone at least. I looked at the time realising I'm going to be late for work if I don't move now so I started up the ignition and pulled around the corner to see my old home.
I parked around the corner so Regina would not see me sleeping in the car if she had she would end up getting me a room at granny's B&B and I really didn't want to stay in there not when everyone had it out for me.

I walked into granny's diner with all eyes aiming at me. Great. I saw Mary Margret sitting in the back of the diner reading what seems to be the newspaper. She was an odd woman very petite and innocent but she also had a badass side to her that I want to discover...bandit like. "Hello, what do you have for me then?" I said with a side ways smile And setting myself down at the table. "Well I have a feeling Sidney photoshopped them..." she began. I've always hated Sidney Glass he's always had a thing for Regina and I hated it. "As you know he's always had a thing for Regina and will do anything to break you guys up..." she noted "that bastard" I said shaking my head "Also he was here with Robin the other week discussing something but I didn't know what it was back then but now hearing this situation it all becomes clear" she said sipping her coffee. "What? Spit it out" I said becoming very impatient "Robin was going on about to Sidney can you photoshop these together? And he agreed...so Robin is also involved" she said with wide eyes "that jackass oh my god...why can't he just leave me and Regina be ? Ughhhh" I groaned "and I was talking to Sidney the other week about a news paper article for the primary school and when he left the room I was looking for some more ink when I stumbled upon these..." she paused as she handed me a white envelope with a red tape seal. "What's this?" I said while opening up the envelope. My eyes widened at the images; an image of me kissing Regina and the other image of Milah kissing Killian.
"Oh my god" I muttered. The picture of me and Killian was photo shopped. "Sidney!!" I mumbled. I thanked Mary Margret and I got up and drove to Sidney Glasses office where he writes most of his meant to be "True" articles.

I burst through his office door shoving the photoshopped photos in his face. "what the hell is this!!!?" I screamed in his face.
He just sat there. "Well!! Answer me!!" I shouted slamming my hand against his desk. Sidney isn't the argumentative type and he never has been so I didn't expect him to argue back. "you may have just cost me the chance of marrying Regina!!!" I shouted once again but getting more angrier at the second. "I—I" He stuttered. I rolled my eyes "if you ever do something like this again...you will be sorry..." I said in harsh tone and then I stormed off. I didn't turn back to even look at him, he didn't deserve the attention.
