I'm Not Her (Maddy/You)

you & me

"Why'd you snap on Maddy like that? All she said was that she could've designed Chloe's dress." Rue asked.

"Where'd you hear that from?" I reply.

"Lexi." She answered.

"That's kinda fucked up. You gotta let that grudge against my twin go." Alexa said.

"Stop calling her your twin. And I don't even have a grudge against her. I'm just being cordial." I say.

"You call that being cordial? I've seen you act nicer to your opps than how treat Maddy." Rue spoke.

Now she's just lying. I ain't nice to them niggas. I kill opps when I see them. Always have, always will. But I do understand the point that she's trying to make. And I guess it wouldn't kill me to be nicer to Maddy.

It's not like she crushed my hopes and dreams or anything. Oh, wait. "Fine, if it makes it easier for everyone then I'll apologize." I sigh.

"Right now." Alexa says.

"Huh?" I ask.

"Go apologize right now. We'll look after Riley." Rue said.

This is ridiculous but I'm doing this for them. I don't see what this is gonna change or how it's gonna change anything.

I walked into Maddy's store apology ready. This is the first time that I've ever been here for something other than Riley. I felt a little out of place if I'm being honest.

I looked around the store looking at all types of clothing options obviously all designed by Maddy herself.

I've never once said it to her but I'm proud of her. This was her dream and she went for it. Now she's the best in the business at what she does. I'm genuinely happy for her. Not that I'd tell her that though.

"Y/N what are you doing here?" Maddy asked.

"I need to talk to you. In private if you don't mind." I say taking notice of her assistant. 

She leads me insider her office closing the door behind us. She sat down in her chair motioning for me to sit in the seat across from her.

"So what's up?" Maddy asked as I sat down.

"I, uh, came to apologize." I say.

Who knew apologizing is so hard? Even if it's for simple shit. I'm sorry has to be the hardest thing to say other than the words I need help.

I could tell I caught her off guard. I could see that she was shocked yet confused. It was written all in her facial expressions. I could still read her body language very easily.

"For what?" She said.

"Rue helped me see that I've been very mean towards you. And well that's unfair to you. So I'm here to say sorry and that I'll stop starting arguments with you." I answer.

"Oh. Apology accepted. Does this mean you'll let me design Chloe's dress now?" She smiled.

"No, Donatella Versace is still doing that." I say making her smile quickly disappear.

I felt a sting in my chest. There's no way I actually feel bad right now. "But since you clearly want to design something so bad then you can create my suit."

"Really?" Maddy asked surprised.

"Yes and don't ask again because I will change my mind." I respond.

She smiled again this time it being bigger than before. If you ask me, I don't think this has something to do with her wanting to design anything. I think she just wants to be a part of my wedding. And I'ma let her do what she so desperately wants.
