...."Is that guy who treats you like trash really better than me or are you willing to forever remain ignorant until you get hospitalized for his sake?".His eyes burned in anger, he had told himself to handle this rationally, but the words that came...
I stared at the door of the cafe in anticipation whenever a customer walked in.
It was all couples or high schoolers...will she really not come?.
I lowered my head and sipped the coffee in front of me with disappointment.....
I was a bit glad I had her number at heart, but looking back at how she sounded when I made the call it means she's still angry because of what happened back then.
How was I such a fool for so long?
The only person who was by me throughout my life was the same person I didn't spare a second to sever all ties with.
"Did he finally let you come and see me".

I raised my head when I heard that familiar voice, staring at her face I was filled with guilt and embarrassment, she was glowing so much.
Tears immediately formed in my eyes and I didn't resist the urge to hug her.
"What about Elijah". She asked still in my embrace, I let go of her and took a closer glance at her now mature face.
"Forget him and take a sit". I wiped my eyes and pulled out a chair for her while I took my previous position.
"Back then, you listened to him and stopped seeing me". She started again.
"I'm getting married". I interrupted staring deep in her eyes, she looked so uninterested and annoyed, maybe she thought it was Elijah.
"Good for you.....you both actually". She broke the intense eye contact and looked outside the window right beside us, refusing to utter another word.
"I broke up with Elijah, long ago......I met someone else who made me realize I was being stupid dating someone like that,
maybe if I was still with Elijah I wouldn't be here with you, I'm sorry...
I'm sorry I said those harsh things to you, I'm sorry I let Elijah deceive me....
You were looking out for me but I said you were jealous and that you didn't want me to be happy, I'm really sorry".
I was so ashamed of myself I couldn't look at her face, I just sobbed silently staring at the table....
if she ends up not forgiving me, at least I'll leave this place with a clear conscience.
"It's not your fault, he took advantage of your feelings back then, he came to you at that moment when you needed help the most.....it was only reasonable you'd listen to whatever he said".
I lifted my head after hearing her comforting words and smiled weakly, she held my head in her palms and wiped the tears from my eyes.
"So do you forgive me?". I asked, she smiled warmly and nodded her head before withdrawing her hand.
