I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they're sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.

ACE

I took a deep breath as my jaw clenched tightly

I took a deep breath as my jaw clenched tightly. I'm standing here in front of Ariana. She's balling her eyes out and I don't know what to say. I want to forgive her, something in me does. Because I know I still care about the woman. Feelings don't just fade away, but the way things ended between us makes shit harder for me.

After Dove had the miscarriage, I was so broken. Sure I wasn't ready to become a dad but that was still my child and it hurts. So I half expected Ariana to comfort me and just be there for me. Instead, she showed me another side of her that I'm not to fond of.

Sighing and running my hands down my warm face, I bent down getting on her level.

"Alright- hey calm down Ariana.."

She sniffed and shook her head. "I-I can't! I messed everything up and now y-you hate me!"

"Hey, I don't hate you alright."

Ariana looked at me with a red eyes. "R-really?"

I shrugged. "Of course not. Look, I was just upset-I admit I didn't know how to express my feelings. So, I so apologize if I hurt your feelings at all."

I know it was the right thing to say. We haven't spoken to each other in months. I left tour, and I felt like it was for the best. I'm not gonna lie, I miss it and I miss being around her and everyone else. But at the moment, I knew that if I didn't leave- things wouldn't end well.

That's the honest to god truth.

"A-ace. I really miss you." I felt her reach out and grab my forearm.

I turned my head to the side as I thought about what to say to her.

"I know- but I left because it was for the best. For both of us."

She nodded slowly and I helped her stand back up. I watched as she fixed her outfit and hair. "Sure, I get that.."

I stood there with my hands right by my side. It was a very awkward moment, well for me anyway.

"I-I umm; I just really want you to know that I'll always have your back Ace. I don't care what it is, if and when you need me-" I watched her as she took a deep breath and looked down at her feet. I could tell she was nervous.

I can't lie it was kinda cute.

"Ace I give you my word. I'm so so sorry, I can't even begin to express how much I hate myself for the way I treated you during your must vulnerable time." She mumbled as her voice broke indicating that she was about to start crying again. "I'll apologize to Dove as well, let her know I didn't mean it!"
