🖤 My Screeching Love 4 U - a Screyes story 💜

5 - Forgiveness

Eli's POV:

It's Monday again, great! Another tiring day of school. I smashed my alarm clock as it fell down. When I looked at it, it was broken. Good job, you broke your 12th alarm clock. I sighed as I picked up the shattered pieces. One of the glass cut my palm, making it bleed externally. I winced from the pain and tried to hide it until Sean entered the room.

He ran to me quicker than the speed of light. "Are you okay? What happened?", he asked showing concern in his eyes. My hand started bleeding in a accelerated speed, and he immediately grabbed a clean towel and wrapped the wound around.

"I accidentally broke my alarm clock and I tried cleaning it up- It's not that big of a deal!", I exclaimed. He looked at me softly, still concerned.

"You should've called me, I could have helped you-", "Don't". I didn't let him finish his sentence as I continued to clean the mess I made, making the wound bleed better. I came to back to him, telling him to continue treating my hand.

He sighed as he continued managing the 3 centimeter wide scar. "You know you could have just set the alarm in your phone, right?", I face palmed myself as I realized my stupidity. Wow i'm an idiot, I thought to myself.

As he finished wrapping my hand with the clear white bandage, our eyes meet swiftly. He gave me an apologetic look; I nodded gently. "Let's talk later, we need to get to class", I said and he agreed as we continued preparing.

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

Usually the whole school is quiet, but it's now noisy ever since he got expelled. Seems like everyone's happy now. I was just walking to class when I bumped into someone. I just looked at him and rolled my eyes jokingly.

"Dang I completely forgot about you", I teased as Renz just chuckled.

"Whatever. It's not like I disappeared in thin air", he replied. He was tall so he was blocking the sunlight.

"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be in your class by now?", I asked.

"Same to you. But anyways, I just wanted to talk to you about Arzenal", he said. My face suddenly stiffened and became serious. I looked at the clock and there was still time.

"You have 5 minutes", I sighed.

He started talking. "Okay look, I know you hate him, well you're not the only one... I know that the whole school hates him but he isn't really like that", he paused for a second.

"I mean, he does hurt people but he doesn't want to. I don't know how to explain it, but I'll try my best. Life has been hard for him, especially now-", I cut him off.

"Isn't life hard for everyone? I mean he made our lives hell. You're probably just saying this because you're his boyfriend", I grumbled. I was about to walk away when he spoke.

"It hasn't even been 5 minutes, can you let me finish, please?", he asked softly. Well at least he's nice.

"Fine, go on, continue", I was still annoyed, but not that much anymore. He sighed tiredly.

"-and he basically lost, everything, from his brother, his sister to his whole family. His parents are crazy. He was forced to act like this, even if his parents are in jail. He couldn't stop. In case you didn't notice, his eyes look a little emotionally hurt as if he didn't want this, but it's too late. He really wants to apologise, but he knows you won't forgive him anyways...", he stops to catch his breath, but his time was over.

"Time's out", I said. He groaned from stress as he got something from his pocket.

"Here, it's from him. Don't worry, I checked it already, and read it when it's your free time", he said handing it to me. It was... An envelope from him.

I put it in my pocket as I continued walking to class, and I saw Sean waiting for me.

"What took you so long?", he asked gently as he sat closer to me.

"I... Just got lost- yeah I just got lost!", I lied. His face was suspicious but he just brushed it off.

"Okay... Just tell me next time, I was worried sick about you!", he exclaimed and hugged me without warning. I just melted myself to the hug as I close my eyes for a few seconds.

"Okay... Let's just sit down for a while", I said visibly tired.

"Sure", he answered as we both sat down.

It's the end of the school day, and I felt relieved, even if there will still be school the next four days. I was just at my bedroom, laying down at bed looking at the ceiling when I remembered something.

The letter, I thought, I rushed to get the letter I put in my uniform's pocket and hastily opened the letter and I read it out loud. It said:

Dear Eli,

Yes I know that you're mad at me. I know, even the whole school does, like who wouldn't?

Look, I know this looks fake, but it's really me. And... I'm sorry for what I have done. Look, it's okay if you don't forgive me, I completely understand.

I know I'm scaring you because of how different my personality is here, but I'm just trying to be kind to you. I'm pretty sure that Renz talked to you about... You know, my life.

It isn't fake btw. Anyways, I hope you forgive me (It's optional)

In case that you want to see me, meet me at Saturday in the Cherry Blossom park at 4:00 pm. Hope I see you there.

From your enemy
- Arzenal

Wow what a cringe letter, but it isn't that cringe. I read it a few times to check if it's his handwriting, and it is his handwriting. I should tell this to Sean, I thought.

-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-✧-

"Are you really sure this letter is real, like a hundred percent? It doesn't sound like him", he said looking at me if I was sure or not. I sighed from trust issues.

"Yes it is, don't worry it scares me too by how sweet he sounded. I think a doppelganger wrote this", I said seriously. He leaned his head on the wall.

"Anyways... Should we meet him up and forgive him?", he asked.

I was unsure and I didn't know what to react, but then I said this:

"Sure, let's meet him up at Saturday"

I said and he nodded. "I just hope that it's really him", he said half to himself and the other half to me. I kissed him gently on the forehead.

"Let's just hope it's him, love"
