Blame It On September

Blame It On September 6

“You stayed at his hotel,” Lexi screamed as I told her what had happened when I stayed with Adam and the rest of the band. “You lucky bitch.”

“Yeah we’ll go with that,” I rolled my eyes at her taking a sip of my coffee. At the moment we were sitting at a booth in Starbucks as I told her everything that had happened. “I feel like such a bitch!”

“Well did you ever bother to apologize?”

“I tried, but it didn’t exactly go as planned.” Lexi looked at me raising her eyebrow as she waited for me to continue.

The moment we stepped through the door of their suite Adam headed off to his room leaving me to try and find one of the other guys. I headed into the living room where I saw Collin checking Twitter on his laptop. “Hey,” I said softly sitting on the couch across from him.

“Hey,” He grinned about me. “What are you doing here?”

“Umm, I’m actually staying the night.”

“Why?”

“My parents and I aren’t on the best of terms right now so I didn’t really want to be at home.” Sensing that I didn’t want to talk about it, Collin simply let it drop. We sat in silence for a few minutes before Owen and Blake walked through the door carrying take out bags.

“Hey Amber,” Blake called as he set down the bags in the kitchen. “I didn’t know you were coming or we would have gotten some more food.”

“It’s okay, I’m not hungry anyways.” Ever since I had snapped at Adam I felt like a complete bitch. I knew he wasn’t happy with me but I didn’t know how to apologize. Sorry for lashing out on you as I drove your amazingly nice rental car Adam. Please forgive me? Something tells me that wouldn’t have gone over very well. Instead I stayed with the three of the them as they ate and chatted about their new song Be Like That. It wasn’t their usual pumped up song but instead a slower one that had a lot more meaning. I didn’t know how the lyrics went yet but I knew for a fact that I was going to enjoy this song. It wasn’t that the rest of their music was terrible I just really wasn’t into boy bands or anything like that.

“Anybody know where Adam is,” Owen asked.

“He went straight to his room when we got here,” I replied looking down at the cup of coffee Collin had made for me. “We kind of got into an argument on the way here.”

“What about?”

“Nothing important,” I answered quickly. “I should apologize though, where is room?”

“I’ll show you,” Blake offered standing up. We headed down to the end of the hallway where Blake stopped in front of a closed door. “Whatever happened between you two, don’t let ruin the friendship you two obviously want with each other. He told me about what happened and I know that I don’t have any idea about how that may feel, Adam is a great guy and I don’t want to see him hurt.”

“I understand,” I said looking down at my feet. Blake was right; I had possibly just screwed up the chance of rebuilding a friendship I never knew I had in the first place. When Blake walked away I knocked on the door almost praying that he wouldn’t open the door. No such luck.

“Hey,” He nodded at me before opening up the door enough so I could walk in before he closed it again. “What’s up?”

“I came to apologize for earlier. I feel like a complete bitch and I’m going to continue to feel like one until you forgive me.”

“I forgive you.”

“You don’t understand, you can’t! I was a bitch to you and I have to make it up somehow. I mean I don’t know what I can possibly do because you could have whatever you want by simply snapping your fingers- well maybe it isn’t that easy. I don’t know, but I do know that you’re famous and that means you’re rich and you’re able to get whatever you want but really how do you manage that? I mean sure you guys aren’t terrible but doesn’t it get creepy with all those girls and I guess some guys chasing after you all the time? But now I’m rambling and I hate when I ramble because I have this habit of getting completely off topic so I’ll try and get back on it but I don’t know if I’ll be able to you know?”

While I took a deep breath to continue Adam put a finger on my lips silencing me. “Don’t worry about it okay? I overreacted when I shouldn’t have, if anything I should be the one apologizing.”

“So now we’re both apologizing,” I said slowly.

“How about we just forget anything ever happened?” I nodded my head but in a way I didn’t want to pretend anything ever happened, it made me think about how he said he pretended we never had a friendship. Maybe he just didn’t want to remember.
