Ch.12: Because Of You (Rumbelle)
Summary: Set in S2, 3, and 5. Based on the song “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson.
*Memories*
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

It was a beautiful day in the shop, as Belle and Rumple kissed. Belle had just gotten her memories back after thinking that she was Lacey for a while.
*Broken*
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I lose my way
And it’s not long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

It was a beautiful day in the shop, as Rumple and Belle half talked and half argued. He was trying to convince her that he could change if she gave him a chance, but she wouldn’t hear it.
“You toy with words like you do people. You’re still a man that makes wrong choices. I thought you’d changed,” she told him, before briskly walking towards the door to leave.
“Belle, I’m sorry. I am,” he replied, but could only watch as she left the shop, unhappy with him.
*Going Home*
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep

After watching Rumple use the dagger to kill Peter Pan, which was plainly saving everyone and sacrificing himself, all Belle could do was stand there in the street and cry. Rumple, her true love, was dead.
*Quiet Minds*
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

It was a nebulous night, as Rumple and Belle stood in the shop, hugging after Rumple informed her of Bae’s death, which broke him. Bae had been the only family he had. Now, without Belle, he’d be alone.
*Her Handsome Hero*
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in

It was a gloomy day as always in the underworld. Rumple had just informed her inside the library that she was pregnant. She was happy about that but then she got mad because of a deal he had made when he had still been human. Now, if Rumple didn’t work for Hades, Hades had threatened to take Belle’s child.
After Belle and Rumple left the library and Rumple had locked up, they saw Belle’s ex who her father had wanted her to marry back in the enchanted forest, a bow and arrow in hand. Then the guy shot it towards Rumple who caught it before it could hit him.
Later, Belle spoke with him and the guy had to ask her why she didn’t want Rumple dead, in which she informed him, “He’s my husband.”
*Bad Heart*
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you

It was a beautiful day, as Belle entered the shop after they had all come back to Storybrooke after Henry had undone everything that Rumple had had the author do.
“You came back,” Rumple greeted her, one hand on the glass counter to stay on his feet, since his heart was weakening because of how much darkness was in his heart that could never be taken away.
“I came back to make sure you don’t hurt anyone,” Belle replied, before realizing that something was wrong. She walked up to him to stand in front of him. “What’s wrong?”
He was able to inform her of the problem with his heart, before he collapsed.
Belle went to get help to save Rumple and the apprentice took the darkness out and put it in the hat and put Rumple in a preservation spell to keep him alive until he awakened. Then the fairy gave Belle a rose in a glass jar that was linked to Rumple’s life. So, until he awakened, Belle stayed with him, wanting to be there either if he woke up or if he went.
