"Hey. Your mom let me in." i awkwardly walked into Maddy's bedroom while she laid in bed on her phone.
"Hey." she greeted awkwardly while sitting up.
I took a seat at her desk chair and faced the bed. I didn't really feel like sitting on her bed considering i don't know how this talk could go.
"How have you been?" she questioned.
"I've been good." i nodded.
"I heard about you and Fezco."
"Yeah. We broke up at winter formal."
"Wow. I'm sorry."
"It's fine." i shrugged it off. "So why did you want to meet?" i looked up at her.
"I don't know... i just feel like we ended on bad terms. I feel like i said and did things that i regret looking back on it. I realized i've been a really shitty friend." she went on. "I mean i totally disregarded your experience with domestic abuse because i was blinded by Nate and his shitty ways as a boyfriend. It was insensitive. I lashed out on you for having my back and i'll regret that for the rest of my life." she let out a deep sigh. "I chose Nate over my best friend. Like how dumb was that." she shook her head at me. "I'm really sorry Aster."
"That's okay." i smiled. "It's not easy to let go of an abusive boyfriend. I mean... it took my mom like 20 years to finally be free from my father."
"Oh shit. They divorced?"
"Yup." i nodded my head with a smile.
"Well good for you guys." she smiled.
"I'm just glad she's like happy ya know?" i stared at my shoes. "People are different when toxic people are cut from their lives, and for the first time i feel like i actually have a mom and not a mother."
she nodded her head and smiled slightly.
She didn't say anything, neither did i.
"I love you. You know that right?" she smiled, flashing her dimple.
"I love you too." i smiled at her.
Then before you know it, we kept talking and catching up on each other's lives as if nothing ever happened. She told me about how she got a babysitting job, and i told her about my boring life post-breakup. It was great to finally have her in my life again. Someone i can't rant to.
