15 Days ♥︎ WenRene ✔

Chapter Eight

Irene and Wendy ran for what felt like forever, until they were finally off the school campus.

They were now in a park, near the trees, sitting on a bench while out of breath.

"Irene, my legs hurt even more now.. Why did you drag me out here?" Wendy asked, still out breath and almost panting every word.

"Why did I drag you out here.. Why did YOU fight for me!?" Irene said, raising her voice at the younger. "I'm mean to you! I hurt you both physically and mentally, I bully you, and I've never done anything kind for you! So... Why? Why did you get hurt for me?" Irene asked, teary eyed. "I don't want you getting hurt defending me."

Wendy started at Irene's hand on the bench, rubbing her finger over hers. "I can't just let them say mean things about you, especially if it isn't true! You may be mean to me, but being mean to you back won't fix anything... I still care about you evem if you're mean to me, I've always cared." Wendy replied. She was finally letting her real feelings out, there was no more hiding.

The soft wind blew Wendy's bangs out of her face, Irene admiring her. She was beautiful, kind, and smart. So why did Irene bully her?

After a few seconds of silence, Irene broke into tears. She started crying, clenching onto Wendy's hand. "I'm sorry, Wendy." Irene said, sobbing. There were tears running down her face onto her shirt and Wendy's hands.

Irene saying sorry.. It felt almost unreal to Wendy. These were words she never thought she'd hear from Irene.

Soon enough, Wendy started crying too. "It's okay, Irene.. I'll forgive you."

The truth is, Wendy has always had hope in Irene. There was always the little part of her that thought- no, that KNEW Irene had a soft side to her, a kind side that was nice to people and that cared for people.

"I'm so so sorry!" Irene sobbed, hugging Wendy and her head hung over Wendy's shoulder. Wendy patted Irene's head as an attempt to comfort her.

After a sob festival from the both of the girls, they stopped and then there was silence, until Wendy interrupted it.

"If you feel so sorry, then... Why did you never stop..?"
