Gamble Until You Can't

35

"Ow my god" Emma said, her eyes burning with tears as she looked at the pair against the brunettes desk.

"Em, I'm... Well" Regina tried to say, making out like she was surprised to see Emma.

"Ow shit" Anita whispered, loud enough to be heard by only the brunette still in her arms.

"Get out Anita" Regina said with a sigh, taking her ex fiance's hands off her waist. Anita grabbed her top and quickly left, slipping past the blonde who was looking shocked. Regina grabbed a cigarette from her pocket, slipped it between her lips and lit it. She then picked her glass of whiskey up before finally looking towards the blonde. "I can explain"

"I don't even want you to. I mean, look at you" Emma said in an angry tone, slamming the door shut as she walked in more.

"What's that suppose to mean" Regina asked in an offended tone, taking another puff of her cigarette.

"You don't even care, you're not even trying. You're not rushing to my feet to apologize or"

"Why would I apologize, I'm not sorry" Regina cut in confused, looking at the blonde like this was nothing.

"Are you kidding me? Is this what you've been doing all day? Is that's why I wasn't allowed in" Emma asked, her voice and face showing only hurt in her.

"Not all day" Regina replied with a shrug, moving to sit behind her desk again.

"You're a sick son of a bitch, you know that" Emma snapped, her anger becoming a lot inside her now.

"That was rude" Regina sighed, using everything inside her to not care.

"Rude! Do you want to know what's rude? You sleeping with someone other than your girlfriend! You acting like this isn't a big deal! YOU BLATANTLY TELLING ME YOU ARE NOT SORRY! THAT'S WHAT'S FUCKING RUDE, REGINA" Emma snapped, her words getting louder and louder as she spoke.

"I am very drunk and I have a headache, please don't shout" Regina said with an exhausted sigh, resting her rubbing her head with the hand she held her cigarette in.

"I can't believe you. You're honestly sat there like you don't even care about me" Emma said, her eyes growing glassy as she looked at the woman sat there. Regina bit down on her tongue really hard, trying not to say anything or act sad. "Do you care"

"Me? No, I don't. Sorry" Regina shrugged, taking a large gulp of her whiskey and placing it on the desk.

"Why did you do this to me? How the FUCK could you honestly be this much of a twat to do this to me" Emma asked, tears slipping down her cheek as she paced across the floor.

"Oh come on, Swan, you had to know it wasn't real. I made a bet to see if I could make you fall in love with me, I won obviously" Regina replied with a casual shrug as she took another puff of her cigarette.

"I was a bet? Everything we did was a bet" Emma asked, her breathing starting to catch in her throat.

"Yes. I was going to break up with you soon but you finding me with Anita was easier" Regina replied with a chuckle, pouring herself another drink.

"You planned for me to find you"

"More like, I didn't make sure you wouldn't"

"There is something wrong in that fucked up head of yours! This is not ok, you knew I was broken and you took advantage of that" Emma snapped, walking closer to the brunettes desk in anger.

"I simply accepted a bet and now I'm claiming my win. Get over it" Regina sighed, rolling her eyes as she took another puff.

"Get over it? What the fuck is wrong with you" Emma asked, tears slipping out her eyes even faster now.

"You said it yourself, the day we met actually. I'm smart, rich and manipulative as fuck. You should have known I was bad news" Regina replied with a chuckle, going back to her cigarette soon enough. Emma stood in shock, not knowing what to do or how to react to all this. "That reminds me, I need you to leave the mansion"

"What"

"You can't stay here, you never actually had a place and I just don't really want you here" Regina replied with a shrug and a chuckle, smiling at the blonde.

"You... You're... There is something seriously wrong with you to treat people like this! I thought you actually cared about me, I thought you loved me and then you pull this shit on me. My whole life has been people fucking me over and lying... I thought, just maybe, you weren't one of those people" Emma softly said, her heart ripping in heart and dropping to her stomach.

"Well you were wrong" Regina said, using everything inside her to say it and not cry. "I need you out by the end of the night. Don't worry about saying goodbye though, I'm going to be busy in my office" Regina said, smirking near the end as if she was thinking about it.

"I don't have anywhere to go"

"You have New York with your husband, go there"

Emma stepped closer to the desk, took Regina's whiskey and threw it into her face. The brunette stood up quickly, shocked by the cold feeling against her skin. Emma then slapped her with all her power across the cheek.

"Learn some FUCKING respect" Emma snapped, slamming the glass onto the desk before storming away.

"I don't need respect, I'm rich" Regina huffed as she walked around her desk to follow the blonde.

Emma slammed the door shut, walking away instantly. As Regina heard the loud bang, everything in her body dropped. Her legs dropped, causing her to crash the floor. Her tears finally raced out her eyes, leaving her sobbing on the cold floor. She was led across it, sobbing her heart out as it broke in her chest. She couldn't move, she couldn't stop, she couldn't even speak. As Isabella got to her door, she heard the sobs coming from inside.

"Gina" Isabella questioned confused, opening the door to see her led there. "ow my god, Regina" she said in a panicked voice, rushing to the brunettes side. She lifted her up enough to hold her in her arms, leaving Regina to sob onto her lap. "What did you do"

"The wrong thing" Regina mumbled, feeling her heart breaking more and more as she cried.

The pair sat together, neither talking, for an hour or so. Emma had managed to pack everything, her hurt and anger fueled her to do it fast. As she took all her things to the door, she debated going back to Regina's office.

"Ma'am, your taxi is ready to go" the butler said, snapping Emma from her thoughts.

"Thank you" she replied, choosing not to go her office then.

Emma grabbed her bags, walked to the car and placed them in. She then got into the back and buckled up, trying so hard not to cry anymore. As the taxi started moving away, tears slid out of her eyes as her heart broke.

"Where to" the taxi man asked, glancing over his shoulder.

"Airport" Emma simply replied, looking at her lap to try to stop crying.

"Going anywhere nice"

"Home"

As Emma's taxi drove away, she cried a little more for the love she lost. Regina had finally stood up from the floor and managed to stop sobbing, still not telling Anita what she done. Her door then knocked.

"Who is it" Regina asked, wiping the tears off her face to keep it dry.

"Butler, ma'am. I just came to inform you that Miss Swan has officially left the mansion" he replied in his formal voice before walking away from the office door.

"Emma left" Isabella questioned, looking round at her friend shocked.

"I don't want to talk about it. I have to go somewhere, I'll be back soon" Regina quickly said, slipping out her office in a fast pace.

She made her way up stairs and towards Emma's room, seeing the door partly open. She gently pushed it open, seeing the emptiness it held without Emma's clothes everywhere. Regina stepped in, closed the door and leaned against it. The room still smelt like Emma. As tears came to her eyes, she made her way to the bed. Regina led across Emma's side and hugged her pillow, sobbing into it as she knew she lost her.

"Wrong choice... I'm sorry" Regina sobbed, holding the vanilla scented pillow close to her body.
