you know the girls that got serenaded and handed roses in the nobody gotta know music video? yeah, well... that's you.
what happens when you meet back up with a boy you never thought you'd see again? and does friendship stand a chance when love is i...
after the fun afternoon at daniels we were getting ready to leave when the front door opened. corbyn walked in with his hands in his pockets and i could feel zach's body tense beside me. i put my hand on his arm to try and calm him, but he just stared a hole through corbyn. "um, y/n... i knew you'd be here, so i was wondering if i could talk to you for a second?" corbyn asked nervously.
"no way... you've said enough to her" zach said calmly, but he was progressively getting angrier. "i put my hand on his "no zach, it's okay... i'll go talk to him" he didn't look happy with my response "zach i'm fine, i promise" i said looking in his eyes. he sighed and watched me as i walked out the front door with corbyn. we sat down on the front steps and i could feel the awkwardness that was now between us.
"y/n i wanted to say i'm sorry... what i said to you was wrong and i truly didn't mean any of it. i was hurt you wanted to end things, but when you said there was someone else... i lost it. my hurt turned more into anger and i took it out on you, but i had no right to. i can't make you have feelings for me if you don't, and i can't get mad at you for not feeling the same way i did. i'm truly, truly sorry" he said, and he never broke eye contact.
i could tell he was serious, genuine... he meant it and he really was sorry. i put my hand on his shoulder "it's alright corbyn, i understand... and i forgive you. i mean, of course it hurt me at first... but then i realized you did it out of being hurt, not out of hate. i'm sorry for getting your hopes up, and i'm sorry it ended up being zach... i really had no clue you two knew eachother" i said, sympathetically.
"it's not your fault who you fall in love with" he said, and when he said it... it took me by surprise. was i in love with zach? there was so much going on with all the drama that i just never though too much about it. am i in love with zach? i zoned back into the conversation when corbyn stood up "i'm glad you forgive me, because i honestly would love to be friends" he said, i stood up too "i'd like that too... but zach is still pretty pissed at you, and i hate that i've caused problems between you two" i said
"no it's not your fault, it's mine. i deserved it all. i actually need to talk to zach now, too... but i had to talk to you first. again i'm so, sooo sorry" corbyn pleaded "corbyn i told you it's fine, let's just forget about it all. friends?" i asked him "yeah... friends" he said and i hugged him tight. we walked back inside where zach was impatiently waiting for me by the door.
"i'm fine zach, everything's worked out. corbyn and i are friends now... so maybe you two can patch things up now?" i said before i kissed his cheek and left him standing in the doorway with corbyn. i watched as zach hesitated, but he eventually walked outside with corbyn... and i was just inside praying that nobody came back in with a bloody nose.
after an excruciatingly long 10 minutes, the boys come back in smiling. a wave of relief washed over me as i walked over to zach and he put his arms around me. "everything good now?" i asked, he chuckled "yeah we're good. he apologized, i apologized for jumping at him the way i did... we're good" he said, and i let out a breath i didn't realize i was holding. "yay... i don't think i can handle anymore drama" i said with a laugh, pecking his lips before we said goodbye to the boys and left. ___________________________________
