Redemption

Emma's Pov

I stare into the cold eyes of the woman I love the most, whom I've the hurt the most. I never meant to hurt her. All she ever did was stick by me, she was the Bonnie to my Clyde. But I put her in danger, I broke her trust and once trust is broken there's little to no chance of getting it back. I spent each night in prison with my thoughts tormenting over what I did to her. I've spent the past six years bettering myself. I'm not the same person who got us both sent to jail. I hope she sees that I'm a better person. "Can I help you Ms. Swan?" She said. I took a sip of my coffee and thought about my words. I was unsure if she heard what me and Ruby were talking about. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. "Gina I'm sorry" I mumbled. I feel bad having to work WITH her, and having to see her everyday knowing she'll most likely never forgive me.

She shook her head "No.. you don't get to do that. You don't get to act innocent. Do you know how badly you fucked up my life?" Her voice was full of hurt and I felt so bad. She put her fork down and wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"And  you DON'T get to call me that. You lost that right the day we got arrested. I don't know what you think you're doing here or why the hell you're suddenly my partner when I specifically told you I never wanted to see you again. I'm not doin this with you Emma. If it's not work related I don't want to hear from you." With that she gathered her things and left the teacher's lounge. My heart broke. I knew she'd never forgive me, hell I wouldn't even forgive me. But I have good reason for doing the stuff i did. I got up and left the teachers lounge. I looked at the time, We aren't going to be here for much longer which is good. I need to find a way to make her forgive me.

~Dismissal~

I gathered all my stuff, putting it in my bag, and I started to walk out. I stopped by Ruby's classroom on my way out. "Come on Rubes." I said. "Don't rush me Em" she chuckled. I heard laughing down the hall, and footsteps. I know exactly who that is, but what could she be laughing at, or who could she be laughing with. "EMMA!" Ruby yelled pulling me out of my thoughts. I didn't even know she was ready. "Are you ready?" she asked. I nodded and we left. I wasn't looking where I was going AGAIN and bumped into someone. Why do I continuously do this? I picked up my bag and got up. "I am so sorry" I said. "Ms. Swan, PLEASE look where you're going." Regina said frustrated. She got up and straightened out her clothes. "Regina stop whining. She apologized get over it, at least now it's not juice." Robin said. Is that her boyfriend? "Robin.. don't." She rolled her eyes and walked off with him next to her. "She's such a klutz..." and with that, they were
gone.

When we all got outside I saw Regina, Robin and Killian talking. I guess she has a type. "Emma, you need to snap out of it. If you apologized and she won't forgive you, move on." Ruby said softly. I shook my head no. "I know I should but I just can't." I replied. We got in the car and I drove to the house, it wasn't a silent ride home. We were singing our hearts out. Since me and Ruby are bestfriends, I let her move in with me. My house is big enough. Right now it's just Me, Ruby, Elsa and Katherine. I pressed the button to open the gate to my house.

"You know.. even though we just moved here I still can't believe we live here." Ruby said in amazement. "Yeah... I can't believe it either." I chuckled. I pulled up into the garage and got out. I went upstairs and put my bag away. I laid down in my bed and huffed.It has been a long ass day, Being a teacher isn't really hard but it's not as easy as I thought. I heard a knock on my door. "Come in!" Kat walked in. "Hey Em, how was your day?" She asked while putting a water next to my bed. I sat up and smiled "It could've been better. I mean.. Regina is my partner, she HATES my guts and there's no way of winning her over. Umm but other than that, the kids are really great. They're super smart, way smarter than me." I chuckled. "That's good to know. Why do you think Regina hates you?" She said putting her hand on top of mine, for comfort. "I just know, you should have been there. I think she heard me and Ruby talking about her. It was nothing bad but, still. I don't want to go out with her I just want to be friends. But I understand her." I sighed and drank some water. "Well Em, if you want to be friends then stop pouting, grow some balls and talk to her. You can't keep wallowing. If you miss her that much, relationship wise or not you better put in work in order to rebuild her trust." Kat stated. I shrugged, and drank the rest of my water. "Come on, we have to start on dinner. So hurry up." Jay said getting up and walking to the door. I nodded, "I'll be down in a sec" I went into the closet and changed into spandex and put joggers over it and a sports bra. I walked downstairs and greeted everyone. "Ok, let's start with dinner for tonight !" I said very happy with a huge smile on my face.

Regina's POV
"Robin, it's your turn. HURRY UP!" Never play uno with slow bitches. "Ok sorry boss" he mocked. I smacked his arm playfully and chuckled. He put down a plus four, thank god it goes to Killian and not me. I'm going to win anyways. "Really?!" Killian Groan as he got four more cards. "What's the color Robbie?" I chuckled. "Red" PERFECT. I placed down my last card and hop ip to taunt the boys. "Ahhaha UNO BITCH I WONNNNN" Robin rolls his eyes, "cheater" I laughed "No, winner" I looked at the time 7:30 I don't feel like cooking, I'll order food. I got up and walked into the kitchen. I filled my metal bottle  with water. I called the pizza place, "Hello.. Delivery please.. 108 Mifflin Street.. Regina Mills.. ok, thank you have a good day" I hung up the phone, I don't feel like walking.. "ROBIN ! I ORDERED A PIZZA !" I yelled. "OK REGINA" He yelled back. I sighed and sat down on a stool in the kitchen.

I am 24 years old, no children no love life.. and I'm a teacher. Am I really succeeding in life? Zelena is 29 and married with one kid and owns a company, oh and she has a shitload of money... i'd say she's more successful than I am. Maybe I should do what she's doing..then maybe my mom would actually be proud of me. I didn't even know i was crying until Robin wiped away my tears "what's wrong Gina?" I sniffed and shook my head "nothing, i'm just thinking. it's nothing." I fixed my posture and sipped my water. I put $15 on the table, "when the pizza guy gets here, give him or her that." I started walking off. "what about a tip? you always leave a tip.." Robin sighed. I put $6 on the table. "there.." my voice almost cracked. I went upstairs and shut the door quietly and leaned up against it and cried. I felt a roll in my stomach and got up. I looked at myself in the mirror and turned to the side. "Huh...." I went to the bathroom to clean up my face. I put on some shorts and a sports bra and a waist trainer and my running shoes. I grabbed a jacket and tied my hair up. I left the house and went running.

~45 minutes later~

I returned out of breath. "Regina, the foods here." Robin stated. "Thanks.. but I'm not hungry." I lied.. kind of. I mean, i'm not really hungry. I walked upstairs and back into my room. I took a sip of my water. I did two sets of 30 squats, 50 crunches. After I was finished I took off my waist trainer and took a shower. I went downstairs and made myself a salad. I didn't speak to anyone, I didn't make eye contact with anyone. I was moving so quick, I stopped when I felt a hand on me. I was spun around into a tight hug. I let out a sigh i didn't even know i was holding in. "Robin.." I started but then, I was cut off. "Don't speak.." Was all he said. I hugged him back and sighed. I'm surprised, my body doesn't even hurt. "Robin I'm tired.." He let go and walked me upstairs to my bedroom. "I want you to go STRAIGHT to bed, i'm serious.. I love you Gina" he kisses my forehead. I smiled "Ok, I love you to Robbie. I'll see you tomorrow morning." He nodded. He tucked me in like I was a child and then left. I sighed and in 5 seconds Iater out like a light.
