Love Triangle

Chapter 8

<Chica's P.O.V>

Sniffling and wiping the few remaining tears from my eyes, I look hopefully over at Mangle. She smiles right on back at me, bringing my confidence level up. Surely, if she can forgive me after everything we've been through, Bonnie will forgive me? I sure hope so. "Mangle, I want to go apologize to Bonnie. Will you come with me?" I ask her, hoping she will. I don't think I can do this alone. Her eyes light up at my offer and she pounces on it before I can reconsider. "Yes! I will be here every step of the way. Best to move on past the bad things in life and keep moving forward, right?"

I nod and stand, offering Mangle a hand as well. She gladly accepts and I use most of my strength to haul her onto her feet. Well, if she still has feet. The thought causes me to wince. Luckily, Mangle doesn't notice. She's too busy lowering the ladder for us to get down. I walk over and help her lower it, only stopping when it hits the ground with a satisfying clunk. I climb down first and wait on the floor for her. Once Mangle's on the ground with me, I smile at her one last time before heading off in the direction of voices.

Entering Pirate's Cove, I see Foxy, Bonnie, and Freddy all huddled in a circle talking too quietly for me to hear anything. Inching more out into the open, I stand there awkwardly as Mangle motions for me to do something out of the corner of my eye. My nerves and guilt wash over me and I find myself unable to make a single sound. Mangle must see the panic in my eyes as she steps up and throws and arm around my waist. "Hey guys! I found Chica, and she has something to say." She announces loudly, gaining the attention from the guys.

They all turn simultaneously, making me more nervous than before. Swallowing down my nerves, I find myself opening my beak and speaking with more confidence than I can possibly posses. "I'm sorry for being such a... well.. bad friend the past few days. I- I'm more sorry than you could ever imagine. I just hope you forgive me, especially you Bonnie. I'm so, so sorry for all the hurtful words I shouted at you, I hope you know I meant none of them. Not one word. I- I was just so torn and- I" I start to break down towards the end and lean on Mangle for support, "I can understand if you don't ever want to see me again or be friends." I finish as a sob seizes my throat and causes more tears to spill from my eyes.

Bonnie and the other guys stand there in shock, Freddy mostly confused 'cause he doesn't have a clue what's going on but it's touching nevertheless. After several moments of awkward and tension filled silence, Bonnie blinks once, twice, and three times before finally snapping out of his shock induced trance. "I, Chica, I, I, I- It's okay. I promise. I can forgive you. I know you didn't mean a word you said and that's all that matters. Let's put the past behind us and keep moving forward." He smiles at me and my heart melts and I can't contain my gratitude. "Oh, Bonnie. You have such a big, loving heart!" More tears are streaming from my eyes, but they're tears of happiness as I throw my arms around Bonnie and kiss him on the cheek.

Bonnie blushes at my sudden intimacy, but hugs me back all the same. "I know. How else am I supposed to survive here?" Me and him break away as everyone, including me and him, laugh. Everything seems to be returning to normal. I just hope I don't screw anything up this bad ever again.

"So, since we're getting all lovey dovey here, mate, Mangle would you do me the honor of being my girly friend?" Foxy asks, making me freeze on the spot. My eyes wander across the room before settling on the mangled fox. Her eyes meet mine and she opens her mouth to speak.

"Well, I..."
