Angelina's POV;
I sat on my couch eating ice cream and watching tv. I was wearing just a red t shirt, and knee high socks with my hair tied in a messy bun and my oversized glasses on.
I heard footsteps, giggling, and kissing sounds. Probably Natalie going to a guys house to do you-know-what. She'd usually do it here and I wouldn't care but she knows how upset I am.
I heard the door slam. So I'm home alone I guess.
Then I heard my door ring. Weird. It couldn't be natalie because she just left and she has keys so she wouldn't be knocking.
I opened the door, to see Brendan. I rolled my eyes and shut it but right before he held it open.
"Please." he whined. I could see a little bit of him threw the crack. "You've been ignoring me for 2 weeks straight. We need to talk. You can't avoid me forever. Also you kinda just sprung on me. I deserve to explain."
I sighed and nodded. He was right.
I opened it again and lead him to my couch. But that's when I realized I wasn't wearing pants and he could clearly see my underwear. I gasped and ran towards my hallway.
"Sorry. I'll be right back." I said with my voice cracking and my face red.
I quickly threw on some black nike spandex and took off my knee high socks.
I returned back with my face still flushed. I managed to barely mumble, "sorry."
He shrugged. "I've seen it be-" then he stopped realizing how bad he sounded right now.
"What do you want?"
"I just need to explain."
"Okay...go."
He shuffled around probably uncomfortable because last time he was sitting on this couch we were together.
"You have to promise not to interrupt me. I know it sounds like bullshit at parts but I promise if you listen and let me talk we can switch roles when we're done"
I nodded. "Just...please...go," my voice cracking again.
"Okay." he sighed again. "Angel... I loved you so much. I still care so much for you. I didn't cheat on you because you were 'not good enough' for me or you 'didn't reach my standards'. Because that's far from the truth. And the truth was that I was falling in love with you. And it scared me so much. You eventually consumed my whole thoughts and actions. That scared me. I felt like I wasn't good enough for you. I felt that my feelings would never run out for you, but that you would get bored of me and abandon me. And I'd always be in love. And I know, it was a pussy move. But it was the biggest single mistake I have regretted the most."
I was speechless. I thought Brendan was a heartless jerk who treated me like trash. Maybe I was wrong...
I was mad at him because I thought he never cared about me, then all of a sudden had a interest in me now that he didn't have me. But I was wrong. He just cared. He's always cared.
