The Only Exception

Hardships & Difficulties

Regina's POV
It's so hard not to see Emma now that we realize there's more than just friendship. I want to be around her and I love her I need to see her. She means so much to me and I can't make it without her, I can't breathe without her, I miss her so much and I feel like this pain and feeling has only gotten worse and worse. She got caught sneaking out so now she's on lockdown like crazy. She's not supposed to have her phone but she sneaks it and texts me. I move to New York and I've been there for a couple of months now. I live with my abuela and abuelo. They speak a little English which is good but they talk in spanish all the time.

Emma hasn't texted me in a while which I'm guessing she's in trouble or got caught. Sh always texts me gosh I miss her so much. It's so hard going days and weeks without seeing her handsome face. Without kissing her cute cheeks. Without hugging her without laying in her big arms feeling loved and comfort and safe like nothing could hurt us.

It's almost time for graduation and then I'm a junior and one step closer to being a senior. I guess you could say I'm doing well in school. When am I not honestly but it's different without Emma constant need to make out of have sex cause now  just get the work down no distractions. I mean distractions are terrible but Emma wasn't us funny and kind and loving and loving and charming and I miss it.

My friend Alexa keeps telling me something good is going to happen soon and I feel like it's not. We passed and it's now summer. I wish I could see Emma again the last time I saw her was five and a half months ago when she got arrested for petty theft. I don't know how or anything but Ruby told me. Gosh I hope Emma is staying loyal to me even though we technically aren't dating because I know Ruby likes her and everyone knows. It's obvious to everyone but Emma and it kills me to know that's like Emma best friend who she spends most her time with who has a thing for her and I'm gone so I don't know about anything that's going on back home. Ugh! I hate my mother so much! Why can't I just be happy! She ruins everything for me! Love, Friendships, everything!

Alexa and Mariana wanted to go to the mall I didn't really want to today I was missing Emma a little extra but they begged me so I'm up and dressed feeling like crap but I guess it's whatever.

We have been walking around for a hour and I'm tired they keep acting suspicious and it's freaking me out. We go into some random store I've never even been in. "Why are we in here" I look around it's some clothing shop for goths or something I don't know. "Come over here" says Mariana. "Why" I ask. I walk over there and there's Emma. I cover my mouth and tears cloud my eyes making everything blurry. I wrap my arms around her neck and hug her. "My baby" she says. I smack her arm "why haven't you texted me in months" I ask. "My mom took my phone and I couldn't get another one, I've been on total lockdown and I might have gotten in jail or the past three months" I smack her arm. "Emma why, what did you do" she sighs. "I might have stolen something" I say. "What did you steal" she sighs. "A car" she questions. "I paid it off but I was trying to save for a engagement ring" i look at her confused. "For me" I ask. "Regina I have loved you since I met you, I'm glad you came into my laugh and I'm so blessed to have you and I want to make you mine forever so will you marry me" she gets on one knee and i cover my mouth and tears run down my face. "Yes" she puts the ring on me and I wrap my arms around her neck hugging her. She grabs my face kissing me and I smile. "Baby this is beautiful it must have cost a fortune. "Your worth every penny" I blush and kiss her again.

Emma leaves today and I'm super sad, I hate how we won't see each other for a while and I miss her like crazy. We are engaged now this actually fucking sucks. I'm laying on her chest when she wakes up and pulls me on top of her. I push myself up using my hands so I'm straddling her. "Don't leave me" I whine. Emma sits up but doesn't move me off her lap and kisses me. I push her away feeling tears build up in my eye. I look away and suck in a breathe. "It's so hard to not see you everyday, you are the only person I have" I let my tears fall and Emma hugs me. "Baby please don't cry" she holds my face and wipes my tears. "I just want to spend every waking moment with you" I say. "Baby stop, I'm gonna cry" Emma looks away and I sigh. "I love you so much" Emma nods and let's her tears fall. "I'm so scared to loose you, I'm scared your gonna find someone better than me here. Someone funnier and cuter and nicer and everything I'm not" I shake my head and wipe my tears. "You won't loose me baby we were meant to be and nothing is going to stop me from loving you and only you and no one gets any better than this" I say pointing to her body.
