Ch 12. Past homes and scary girls
"Camping I still can't believe you want us to go camping!" Regina says incredulously as she and emma walk down the halls of storybrooke high. The two of them make an interesting site. Regina is the picture of perfection black skirt with a neat tucked in blue blouse and black high heels a stark contrast to emma who's dreads are pulled back in a high ponytail and wearing a white sex pistols t shirt with the sleeves over a black tank top and a plaid flannel shirt tied around the black skinny jeans she wore. Her usual leather cord bracelets wrapped around her wrists and her black glasses perched upon her pierced nose which she was allowed to wear again since she no longer needed the oxygen tank. It was a half day so even though she wasn't a student (having gotten her GED a year ago) emma with the mayor's permission was allowed to accompany Regina to school to meet her friends.
"I mean can you even picture my mother in the woods" Regina asks with a laugh emma chuckles "true but I love the woods about 6 years ago I lived with this family, the masons, they were great they were in the lumber industry they have 5 sons and daughter Johanna she was the best older sister I ever had she was 5 years older then me and she had a girlfriend named Katniss I used to play with kat's little sister prim kats the one who taught me how to sing she used to sing to me and prim when I would sleep over at their house" Arriving at the music room emma sets down her guitar beside her left leg as she sits on the floor in front of the whiteboard
"How come you don't live with the masons anymore?" Regina asked "They died a year after I moved in there was a house fire Jo and I were over at Kats so we lived but there were no survivors. Jo was able to move in with katniss and prim since Kat was emancipated and had custody of prim but there wasn't enough room for all of us so I had to leave." Im sorry Regina says gently taking Emma's hand into hers Emma smiles sadly at the girl and rubs her thumb along her olive toned skin. "Do you wanna hear the song Kat use to sing to me" Emma asked Of course said regina. Emma got up and walked over to the piano sitting in the corner wiping her hands on her jeans she brings them up to the ivory keys and gives a few test notes then begins a soft tinkling song fills the room
Deep in the meadow, under the willow.
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow.
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes.
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm.
Here the daisies guard you from every harm.
Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true.
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away.
A cloak of leaves, a moon beam ray.
Forget your woes, and let your troubles lay.
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe, and here it's warm.
Here the daisies guard you from every harm.
Here your dreams are sweet, and tomorrow brings them true.
Here is the place where I love you
The last notes fade out and the girls sit there in silence before it's broken by regina saying that was beautiful emma. "Emma that was beautiful." "Thanks said emma voice distant as she recalled the warm scent of leather and pine that used to comfort her after a nightmare Johanna was the last person she was close to after that she entered into a hell of home that left her broken bleeding and 4 years later fighter for her life but she didn't want to think about that. "Jo and Kat actually don't live too far from here here about 2 hours north I found them on facebook about 5 months ago. Kat joined the army and jo surprisingly enough is a teacher." "You should call them" said Regina "Reconnect I'm sure they'd love to hear from you." "No" said Emma "they've probably forgotten about me it was a long time ago and I wasn't there long anyways." "Oh ok" said Regina secretly committing the name johanna mason to memory. She would reconnect Emma with her sister whether Emma wanted to or not family was something she didn't think her friend should miss out on.
The girls were interrupted from the conversation by the slamming of a door "Gina!" shouted a voice " What are you doing in here you know this place is loser " "Oh umm hey katherine" said regina looking up at the blond who stood flanked by 3 other girls turning to emma Regina says "Em these are my friends Katherine, Mal, Tink, and Ashley." "Riiiiigggght" said emma slowly as if she couldn't believe regina was actually friends with these girls. The leader of the group katherine looks at emma with a strange expression her eyes fixed on the blonds arms till Emma breaks the silence saying "Umm hi im emma" she said "Is that your guitar?" asked the blond girl Regina identified as Ashley "Umm yea it is." Emma said "Play us something" Demanded Kathrine then adding snidely "If you even can" Emma looks to regina who looks back at her with pleading eyes with a sigh she says "fine" she opens up the guitar case and sets herself up grabbing the pick she strumms a bit before singing
It's late in the evening
Glass on the side
I've been sat with you
For most of the night
Ignoring everybody here
We wish they would disappear
So maybe we could get down now
I don't wanna know
If you're getting ahead of the program
I want you to be mine, lady
To hold your body close
Take another step into the no-man's land
For the longest time lady
I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
If you love me
Come on, get involved
Feel it rushing through you
From your head to toe
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [2x]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
This love is a blaze
I saw flames from the side of the stage
And the fire brigade comes in a couple of days
Until then we got nothing to say and nothing to know
But something to drink and maybe something to smoke
Let it go until our roads are changed
Singing we found love in a local rave
No, I don't really know what I'm supposed to say
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray
I told her my name and said, "It's nice to meet ya."
Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila.
I already know she's a keeper
Just from this one small act of kindness,
I'm in deep shit if anybody finds out
I'm meant to drive home but I've drunk all of it now, not
Sobering up we just sit on the couch
One thing led to another
Now she's kissing my mouth
I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
If you love me
Come on, get involved
Feel it rushing through you
From your head to toe
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can you feel it? All the guys in here don't even wanna dance
Can you feel it? All that I can hear is music from the back
Can you feel it? Found you hiding here so won't you take my hand darling
Before the beat kicks in again
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Sing!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x6])
I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know
Louder!
Sing!
If you love me come on get involved
Feel it rushing through you from your head to toe
Louder!
Sing!
Emma looks up to see the 5 girls staring at her in shock before kathrine giving emma a quick up and down before schools her features with an unreadable expression says "well I guess you don't COMPLETELY suck. My house friday night 5 o'clock be there and bring your guitar. Regina we'll see you later.
Emma watches the 4 women walk away then turns to regina and asks "what the hell just happened?" Regina stares at the door wide eyed "I….I….Think….Katherine is attracted to you.?" with a groan emma leans back against the wall. "Well fuck me I guess camping is gonna have to wait till next weekend apparently i've been booked to perform at a party." "You're going! You're not actually interested in her are you" Regina asks in shock with a bit of a jealous tone "Well yea im going how else am I gonna break it to her that I got a thing for someone else" said emma "You do...who?" asks Regina hopefully trying to play off the rapid beating of her heart emma smirks and leans into close to her face before turning and whispering in her ear "I'll tell ya after you take me camping."
