Saving My Life

Saying Sorry

After the movie is over, I go upstairs and go to bed, making sure to say goodnight to Ariana and Sean.

The Next Morning: 9:45

When I wake up, I have some missed calls from Skai and I remember what happened. I call her and invite her over, ignoring everything else she says.

"Sure." She replies as I hang up.

I get ready for her to come over by taking a shower, doing my hair and makeup, and getting dressed in a simple light pink crop top and some white high waisted shorts. I put on light pink keds and grab my phone.

"I love your hair." Ariana says, playing with my half up half down style, just like her.

"You would. Gotta look my best. Skai is coming over." I say, grabbing a strawberry Special K bar from one of the cabinets.

I eat it while scrolling through Instagram. The doorbell rings while I'm putting the paper in the trash.

"Hi." She says when open the door.

"Hi. Come in. We're going to the classroom. Btw, I cancelled class today."

"Ok." She says, awkwardly sitting at a desk.

"So, I understand what happened. What's your story?"

"Well, since you weren't around much, Zach was getting bored not having a girlfriend. Me and Peyton were always around but then Peyton had to go film a commercial or something. Zach said he was going to break up with you because you're never around."

"Of course."

"Yeah, then he asked me if I would be his girlfriend when he broke up with you." She says, looking down at the desk.

"Oh. Well, why did you kiss?"

"He pulled me on the bed and started kissing me. I tried to break away, I swear. He was stronger than me and kept me down. I swear, I swear, I swear, I'm so sorry." She says.

"I understand. You're forgiven. You can date him all you want, just don't bring him anywhere near me." I say, hopping up and giving her a hug while giggling.

"Of course. I'm so sorry, Taylor. I'll never do it again." She says, patting my back.

"I know. Wanna watch TV?"

"Sure. I'm so happy we're friends again."

"Hey, I forgot. I'm supposed to tell you sorry. Sorry for ignoring you and being rude."

"It's ok. You didn't have to though." She says as we go to the living room.

"Yes I did. It was my choice. I'm still sorry." I say.

We watch Spongebob with the kids until Ariana makes lunch.
