"Fuck..." I say to myself before I instantly cover my mouth.
"You're swearing? That's new." A girl taps my shoulder and I turn around.
"Karen?!"
She smiles shyly. "Hey, Marjorine..."
I can't even remember when I saw her last... she looks so grown up...
"Hey, I uhm... I wanted to apologize. What I did was immature and wrong. I was being a baby about that while situation and it cost me my best friend... I'm so sorry... I've been doing a lot of work and-"
I practically attack her with a hug, effectively cutting her off.
I'm so happy to see her, I'm so happy she's doing better...
"Don't apologize, Karen. I understand."
She sniffles and hugs me back tightly. "I missed you, Marjorine..."
"So did I..."
She pulls away and wipes a tear from her eye.
"Karen? Would you want to be friends again maybe? If it's not a pain..."
She smiles brightly at me. "Absolutely!"
"Did you come here alone?"
"No, but I'm kinda third wheeling Kenny and his-" her smile fades. She looks worried. I can guess why.
"It's okay, I saw them. It's no big deal, I'm moving on." I smile and hope she doesn't see through my obvious lie.
"The celebration is over but... wanna hang out? The vendors aren't packed up yet, we could get food and hang out for a bit..."
I choke back the tremble in my voice from how torn apart I felt seeing Kenny kiss someone else. "Yeah! Let's do it!"
We spend the next hour catching up. She's been going to therapy, she opened up to me about being diagnosed with bipolar disorder just like her mom. The therapy and medication cost a lot but they're a big help to her.
I feel bad though... they already struggle with money, this definitely isn't easy on them... I know there's not much I can do but...
"Karen? If you ever need a place to stay, I have an apartment near here. You can crash there whenever you want."
She looks at me with shock in her eyes. "You have your own place?"
"Yeah. My mom is paying for it while I am in college."
"You go to the same school as Kenny, right?"
"Yep. That's the one..."
"Hey, I feel really bad that I caused this breakup..." she stops walking and looks down at the sidewalk.
"I-It's okay, really. It was my choice."
"Do you think you'll be able to at least be friends again?"
"... it's not that simple..." I give her a painful smile. I'll spare her the details of what happened at the Christmas party. She worships her brother, I don't want to say anything bad about him to her.
