"Maybe it's destiny"

Neighbor

"What did I expect you to do?!"
She widened open her eyes as anger made her blood boil inside her veins... Her heart raced as she noticed the guilty look on the blond's face. Her knuckles were turning white from the amount of pressure she was creating by tightening the grip on her purse's handles.

She took a deep breath almost pleading herself not to explode in anger.

"Well... I'll tell you what I did not expect at all! You moving on that quickly when a couple of months ago you were promising the world to me!"
She finally admitted out loud and sighted.

"You broke my heart. You betrayed me... you betrayed both me and our son Regina! You risked our lives because you hesitated to tell me the truth! Do you understand that Henry could get killed? How am I supposed to love a person who almost got me and my little boy killed? How am I supposed to love a monster?"

Ouch... that was harsh... To be honest it wasn't the usual clam side of Emma's speaking. She couldn't concentrate on being relaxed when her heart was that broken. The mayor had changed her as well... in a good way. Regina made Emma fall in love again and cherish Regina's pros and cons. She didn't actually care about Regina's past anymore since that was a chapter in their lives that was long ago over.

She was heartbroken though. She used to be an orphan. She grew up without any family and friends. She was a lonely little girl that fumbled for a family to love her and when she finally did she lost them all over again. Her life was never easy and sometimes especially during night time she would stay up late holding a glass of wine thinking of what she did wrong to deserve that faith.

Regina changed the way she used to see things. Till she reunited with the former queen at that case in Paris she used to think that being with Killian was her happy ending. Even if she was blinded by her virtual happiness that Killian was the best thing she ever had in her life deep inside her she knew that there was a piece of the puzzle missing. Regina taught her how to love purely and how to fight for someone that she really cared about. She had never seen herself craving a person that much. That's probably why she got so furious when Regina betrayed her.

She was done with people turning their backs on her and making mistakes. She didn't feel like she had the strength to keep forgiving anymore. She just needed a dose of relaxation and happiness but when she finally got that everything got torn apart again.

"Look, I came all the way here to apologise for one last time. Since you're busy... I don't really think I got a reason to be here. I wish you a good life Miss Swan. You deserve this... see you at court."

"That's right.. Walk away again Regina cause that's what you are! A coward! Let me tell you something... if you actually loved Henry that much I doubt that you would ever let me take him here with me! You wouldn't even bother waiting until that trail! But you're selfish and egocentric that you're too proud to drop your strong mask for once in your god damn life and let people in! Maybe for once in your life you should stop blaming others for your mistakes. Take a look in the mirror after all. Look at you. Do you think that being proud and strong is more important than your family? If that's so... then good luck with the rest of your life. I'm sorry for you."

Emma crossed her hands under her chest and lowered her sight on the ground. She realised that her words were stabbing Regina like a knife but it was way too late to control what was coming out of her mouth. The brunette woman gulped in shame and nodded her head.

"Maybe you're right. But it doesn't matter anymore does it? You won Emma! You finally won... good job."
She replied with an ironic tone in her husky voice and turned around. At the same time Barbara was approaching the house with a fierce look in her eyes. Envy was written all over her face as soon as she noticed Regina's face. She didn't even have to tell her what happened. Barbara already knew. She had predicted that fight hours earlier. She run towards Emma's yard and grabbed Regina's hand pulling her towards the parked Mercedes.
