"Hello?" His voice repeats when I don't say anything.

"Conner." I whisper into the receiver.

"Who's this?" He asks.

"It's... its me, Lola." I say. Conner is silent for a long time and then the phone is being hung up.

He hung up on me.

"I'm hungry." Marcus whines next to me. I look over to see Elsi playing with the other kids.

"Elsi." I say. She looks up at me expectantly. "I need you to watch them. I have something to do."

Elsi nods and I'm on my way.

Rick looks at me in surprise.

"But..." He frowns. "You said..."

"I know what I said." I tell him. "I feel so horrible because it was the worst thing to say. I was scared and anxious and I know that's no excuse. I realized that I always loved you. This whole time you were the one for me and I was too stupid to see it. Just please at least try to forgive me Rick I mean-"

His lips are being crushed on mine before I can say anything else. I'm surprised at first but then I'm being melted into it.

He breaks away and looks at me softly. "I forgive you. I always forgive you, right?" He smiles at me and I find myself crying the smiling back. And then he kisses me again.

And again.

And again.

I'm bliss.

Sure I know I'm being desperate and I don't need to be reminded of it. Its just that reading that note shocked something inside of me. I realized that I should of done what I'm about to do a long, long time ago.

Conner is the victim here and I sat there and gave up after he got mad at me. I was being a bad partner. I didn't fight for him like I was supposed to.

I'm going to get my angel back...

I know that there's a huge chance that Conner won't take me back. Mostly because I haven't spoken to him in months.

But he said he was going to marry me. The shock killed my insides. I didn't show this emotion on the outside. I think I rather looked indifferent. But that note sent an electrical jolt that made me wake up with some common sense.

I wasn't working hard enough. I saw myself as the victim. I cried myself to sleep every night but imagine what Conner felt. To be betrayed and never had I tried to win him back.

I gave up too quickly.

As I walk up the steps to his house and the past memories engulf me, I find myself smiling.

Even if I don't get Conner back, its good to know I tried. And i'll make sure to try until I know its too late.

I ring the doorbell. As usual Conner's parents' cars aren't here so they're not home.
