Chasitys POV||

Christina's been home for a week now, and Blake hasn't come by to see her yet. She hasn't said anything to me, but I know she's wishing he would.

I walked into her room, and she was lying on the bed, listening to music. I sat on the bed, and she sat up and took her earbuds out.

"Are you sure you'll be okay being by yourself until tomorrow?" I asked.

I'm supposed to be going to the movies with Arielle tonight, and then I'm staying at her house afterwards. I really don't wanna leave Chris alone, but she insisted I go.

"I'll be fine, Chasity," she reassured me, "you've done nothing but take care of me since I've been home. You need a break."

I nodded and stood up to walk out because I needed to go handle something before I go.

"I left a jacket at Blake's house, and I'm gonna go get it before I leave."

"Okay."

I left the house and went to Blake's. I lightly knocked on the door and when he came to the door, his face sank -- probably because he already knew what I was gonna say.

"What are you doing?!"

He furrowed his eyebrows, "what do you mean?"

"Christina has been home for a week, and you haven't gone to see her. Why?"

He sighed and ran his hand down his face, "Chasity --"

"No, I don't wanna hear it!" I said, feeling as if I were about to cry, "you said you didn't wanna see her on the first day, and I understood that, but a week?!"

He didn't say anything. He just bit his lip and held his head down.

"She wants to see you, Blake."

"Did she say that?" he asked, keeping his head down.

"She doesn't have to; I know," I said, wiping my eyes, "do you understand how heartbreaking it is to see a glint of hope in her eyes when the doorbell rings, only for her to be disappointed when it's not you on the other side of the door?"

My intentions weren't to come over here crying like a baby, but it just happened. My sister is sad because this dummy is too slow to realize she misses him, and it makes me upset.

"You need to go over there and see her," I continued, "she has something she really needs to tell you."

His head shot up, and I could see that his eyes were pretty red.

"What is it?"

"It's not my place to tell you that but if you don't go see her, you'll never find out because she thinks you won't care."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Arielle's car pull up outside of Christina's house. I looked up at Blake and sighed before saying the last thing I wanted to say.

"I'm gonna leave the door unlocked...please go see her, Blake."

I went back to Chris' house to get my stuff and to tell her I was leaving, then Arielle and I left.

I really hope Blake decided to stop being so scary, and went to see Chris.

Blake's POV||

After Chasity left, I put on my shoes and walked to Christina's house. I don't know how I'll even be able to get her to talk to me after the way I treated her.

I walked inside her house and called her, but she didn't answer. I went upstairs to her room, and she was laying in her bed with her back facing the door.

"Christina?"

When she didn't turn around, I assumed she was either ignoring me or sleeping. I walked around her bed to see that she was asleep with her earbuds in her ear. I lied beside her and carefully took her earbuds out. I didn't wanna wake her up because she looked so peaceful, but I needed to talk to her.

"Chris?"

She stirred in her sleep a little, but she didn't wake up.

"Chris?"

Her eyes fluttered open and when she saw my face, her eyebrows furrowed.

"What are you doing in my house?" she asked.

"I need to talk to you."

She rolled her eyes and turned her back to me.

"Christina..."

"What, Blake?"

"Talk to me," I pleaded desperately.

"About what?!"

This is the first time Christina has ever snapped at me, so I was shocked, but I knew I deserved it.

I walked over to the other side of the bed and sat in front of her, "first, I wanna say I'm glad you're finally home and safe. Second...I wanna apologize for the way I treated you."

Her face softened, and she looked like she would cry, but I hope she doesn't. I don't think I could handle it.

"Chri--"

"Do you remember what you said to me?" she asked as her voice cracked a little.

I began to cringe just thinking about the things I said to her.

"You told me you hated me, you never wanted to see me again and that you wanted nothing to do with me. And on top of that, you called me a sl...a slut."

Hearing her repeat my harsh words honestly made my eyes water.

"How could you say those things to me? I've never given you a reason to even believe I would cheat on you," she cried, "you didn't even give me a chance to defend myself."

"I know, and I'm sorry." I reached out to grab her hand, but she snatched it away. "After Lauren, I got insecure. When I saw those pictures, I got pissed because it just reminded me of her, so I broke up with you, not caring what you had to say."

"But I'm not Lauren, Blake! You've known me long enough to know that I would never do that to you."

I didn't have anything to say because she's right.

"And aside from our relationship, I'm supposed to be your best friend. You threw our friendship away over a picture and turned almost everyone against me. You said you loved me, and I actually believed you. I'm so stupid."

"No, you're not stupid. I do love you."

She scoffed & rolled her eyes, so I grabbed her arm and pulled her in between my legs. She kept fighting me & screaming 'I hate you,' but I just kept telling her I loved her until she stopped and broke down in my arms.

"Why, Blake?" she cried, "why would you treat me like that?"

"I don't know, baby. I'm sorry."

I softly kissed her lips as she cried. I continued to mumble "I'm sorry" and kissed her repeatedly until she kissed back.

"Let me make it up to you," I whispered against her lips.

She looked me in the face and I wiped her eyes. She lied on the bed and looked up at me as I took my shirt off.

Once all of our clothes were gone, I made love to the woman I love more than anything. I've missed having her this close to me and feeling her lips against my own, and it made me wonder how I could've been so stupid in the first place.
