Rumples POV

I hardly got any sleep last night. Just lay awake thinking about her.

I woke up at 7am sharp and got my self dressed as quick as possible and was at the police station at 20 past.

Belle shot up as soon as I walked in

"Rumple, I'm so sorry," she said, rushing to the bars.

"You have nothing to be sorry about my love," I sooted her.

So she isn't upset with me! She still loves me...you have no idea how good that is to know.

"Last night...i shouldn't have sent you away because I do, I do need you!" she said as I grabbed her hands through the bars.

"I know, and I'm going to be there," I said, every step of the way.

Belle smiled bravely.

"I love you," she sighed.

"I love you to Belle, I love you to..."

"Emma..." She sniffed, looking over at her.

"You're ready?" Emma asked, walking over.

Ready for what? What's going on?

I looked at Belle puzzled.

She nodded and Emma unlocked the cell.

Belle walked forward and slipped out, Emma's hand on your shoulder.

"You're coming out?" My voice was wild with joy.

Belle smiled at me but her eyes were sad.

"No..."

"Where are you going?"

Belle swallowed.

"The asylum..." Emma finished, knowing Belle couldn't finish.

Belle flinched at the word.

No. no. she's not going back there never! Belle isn't mad!

"NO! I WONT ALLOW IT!" I roared. Belles told me what goes on in that place! Terrible awful things!

"Gold I'm trying to make sure her stay is as short as possible," Emma said.

"NO!"

"Rumple..." Belles soft voice cut in.

I stared at her paralysed.

"Whatever happens, you have to promise me that you won't fight it, you have to give me your word, it can't be helped, I killed someone...I have to face the consequences..."

IT WAS ME! she didn't kill ANYONE!

"No this will not stand-"

"But I know when I come out... you'll be right there waiting for me? Right..." she said, taking a step toward me.

Her hand rose to my cheek and I clutched it tightly.

"Of course..." I falter.

"Then that's all I need," she caressed my cheek.

I closed my eyes, trying not to let the tears spill out.

"I'll wait for you...no matter how long...no matter what happens...i will be right here...always...always..." I gripped her hand.

Suddenly three people strolled into the office.

"Yep we're ready to go," I heard Emma's voice say.

Belle squeezed my hand and let go.

I watched it pull away from me.

How long am I going to have to live without touching her? Without loving her?

My eyes never left her as she was escorted out of the building. This is so wrong...

"Gold, there's a visiting day once a month, you will see her," Emma smiled, staying strong.

Visiting day.

That's just not enough...
