Before You Say Goodbye

Chp 10:- SORRY! PLEASE!

The next day Cheryl woke up with an intense negative thought of really killing herself. But what she was unaware of was that when she had left the party the previous day, Oliver had gone all haywire. When he found out that Jennifer had done all that she did, he got extremely violent and started swearing at Jennifer.
"WTF! Jennifer you stupid girl. I literally Hate you Bi*ch!! You're the Absolute WORST! " roared Oliver, eyes flaming in anger. "Sssorryyyy" apologized Jennifer with some sobs, for the first time in front of anyone in her 18 years of life. Though her apologies didn't mean anything to Oliver, she still did because if she hadn't apologized, then she would've surely seen the worst side of Oliver. "Sorry!? Your sorry doesn't make any difference to me, nor to that girl whom you bullied!" barked Oliver. "I ammm, I..." before she could complete everyone started booing and abusing Jennifer. For the first time ever, she got a taste of her own medicine but, Oliver stopped the bullying out of sympathy and because he wasn't the bad guy here.
"Yo shut your trash everyone, you guys are doing the same thing she did with Cheryl" requesting the crowd to calm down and to not disrespect a girl and gang up against her. "She used to bully me, She bullied Cheryl, She bullied almost all the girls, why should we stop" screamed Catherine at the top of her voice; just like someone demanding a guilty to be PUNISHED for a long time. Oliver remained silent and took Jennifer outside the bar to stop anyone from hitting, booing, or bullying her. He saw Jennifer for the first time being frightened. Jennifer was petrified by the actions of the crowd, she was startled by all the things she had seen inside, she was full of sobs and tears. Oliver, although angry, hugged Jennifer out of sympathy and advised her to go back home immediately. He also asked her to not attend the high school for a few days. As Jennifer left Oliver, he rushed towards Michel, Catherine, and Felix to ask what exactly had happened and also ask them where Cheryl lived, he only wanted to rush to her house and give her a shoulder to cry upon. "Guys I am really sorry about all that has happened because of my and Jennifer's actions" apologized Oliver. "YOU called US to get bullied, didn't you!? When Jennifer was getting bullied you saved her from everyone like some guardian and when we were getting bullied where were you? Let me tell you, you were nowhere to be seen! HUHHH and you call us your friend. Some friendship this is!!" Burst out Catherine with fury. "I am sorry, I was called backstage by the manager to ask about the food and I just had to go," replied Oliver while expressing regret. "I agr--" as Michel was reaching to an agreement with Oliver's word, Catherin cut him short and exclaimed "EXCUSES!". Oliver tried every way possible to convince Catherine but to avail, no method worked. "I beg you, please forgive me. I am truly sorry. I didn't want any of this to happen," Oliver said literally going down on his knees. Catherine started feeling guilty about her own actions and she finally accepted Oliver's apologies. She hugged Oliver and requested him to also accept her sorry for disbelieving him. Felix and Michel joined the hug and the four of them had a beautiful group hug. Oliver had tears in his eyes and said "I need to talk to Cheryl right now" and wiped his tears. "Give her time. She'll be alright," said Catherine. Catherine, Michel, and Felix explained how Cheryl had gone through a lot today when he wasn't around. And if there would've been someone else in place, Cheryl, they would have slapped and bashed Jennifer then and there. The three explained to Oliver how Cheryl just suddenly disappeared and ran home. They also added how Jennifer had bullied them too. Oliver understood the depth of the situation and calmly planned out what he had to do next. The situation had gotten quite fragile and if not handled with care, could have a bad impact on everyone's lives.
Finally, after all the drama that took place, everyone returned to their homes to have some peace of mind. And also to do what was planned to get Cheryl out of the traumatic experience she had faced today. On returning home, Oliver texted Jennifer asking how she was. Though he had a bit of grudge against her, he never wanted anyone to feel depressed, sad, or left out at any time.
