Sinful (GxG)

XVII: Keys (Amelia's POV)

It's been three days since the incident with Serena and Alexis. I didn't have anything against Alexis. She didn't do anything. It was my fault. So we remained friends. However, I don't know my position with Serena. Sadness and regret have been eating me up ever since. She won't return my calls or awnser my texts. I've been crying myself to sleep ever since. Crying over the fact that I lost someone I loved over me not being able to control myself. Though I haven't told her I love her yet.

I have been sitting alone. Serena had stopped showing up at lunch. I don't know where she went. I see her in class, but she doesn't even bother to look at me. When class ends I try to go after her, but by the time I have my things and I'm standing, she is already out the door. I want to fix everything, but I don't know how. I should try to talk to her, but she always gets away. What if I show up at her apartment? I should do that. I'll do that.

School passed by with Serena still ignoring me throughout the day and missing at lunch. I hastily made my way so Serena's apartment and waited outside the door. I grabbed some flowers along the way. Hopefully she'll finally talk to me. All I had to do was wait for her and get my apology ready. In my head I repeated my apology over and over.

Serena, I am dearly sorry for what have I done and I hope you accept my apology. I hope we can be friends again and have nice conversations and smile and laugh together like before.

I kept on practicing in my head over and over. Then Serena finally arrived. She was looking down, crying. It made me chest hurt to see her like that. She walked towards her apartment door when she finally got close enough to notice my feet and noticed I was here. She looked up at me with a surprised look on her face. She quickly got out her keys are tried to get inside before I could say anything. I grabbed her hand with the keys to stop her.

"Serena... Wait... Listen to what I have to say."

She shook my hand off hers and stood there, waiting.

"Serena, I am dearly sorry for what I have done and I ho-"

Before I was even close to finishing my apology, Serena stopped me. Her voice was shaky.

"Apology denied."

"But you haven't even heard the whole thing!"

"I know. Do you even know what you have done Amelia? Do you really know?"

"Yeah. Of course I do. I made a mistake and made out with another girl. Cheating on my girlfriend."

"Not only that. You broke my heart, and then you lied to me. You told me that nothing would happen and I walked in on your lie. Watching you kiss that girl was the worst thing to watch in my life. I loved you and you went off and broke my heart. Apology. Denied."

Serena unlocked her door and stepped inside. I stood there shocked at what she said. She said she loved me. Loved. This makes me feel so much worse. I started to tear up. I can't believe how much pain I had caused her. For some reason I saw Serena's apartment door open again and I saw Serena come out.

"And one last thing Amelia. I won't need these anymore. Goodbye."

She handed me my spare house keys that I had given her and closed the door again. I slid down the wall next to her apartment door. I laid the flowers next to me. I just stared at the keys in my hand lightly crying. What have I done?
