*above is my bedroom*
"Not that much" I say with attitude.
"Oh come on." He says.
"I said I didn't miss you."
"And I said oh come on as in I don't believe you."
"Well you better considering you bullied me my whole life until you finally moved away freshman year. I want you to know I celebrated. That you left."
"Oh thanks. You know why I moved away right?"
"No and I don't care."
"Well I'm going to tell you anyway because you might change your mind about me... Or maybe not."
"I doubt I will but go ahead because your not gonna let me leave are you?"
"Well actually I don't want to talk about this here can we go somewhere?"
He doesn't really wait for me to answer, I guess that hasn't changed. He grabs my arm and starts walking out the door. I exchange glances with my friends and follow him out the door, my arm still in his grasp.
He opens the door to his car and asks me to get in.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Nowhere it's just quieter and more private here now get in."
"Ok."
"Alright, so when they sent me off to boot camp, I thought it was you that told on me and made me move and I got really mad and depressed when I got there. When I was finally allowed to see my mom six months later after they put me in an institution because I was a "psycho," she told me that it was one of your concerned friends. I'm glad they told on me actually because I am really sorry that I ever did any of that to you. I liked you. You're beautiful and I have always liked you but at home my dad abused me and my mom was too drunk to care and I needed to take my anger out on someone else and I don't know why it had to be you but I hated myself. Not too long after I got sent away I found out that I was adopted. They never loved me. But now I'm moving back and staying with some friends and I'm glad I got to see you now before we ran into each other at school at least I got a chance to explain."
"Omg I had no idea. Why didn't you talk to anybody?"
"I couldn't it would've made it worse."
"How? they could've arrested him."
"Yeah but then I would've stayed with my drunk "mother" and she doesn't care about me she doesn't even have a job she can barely take care of herself I don't even know where she is now I lost track of her after she told me I was adopted."
"Wow I am so sorry."
"It's fine I wasn't looking for sympathy I just need you to forgive me it's part of my recovery."
I didnt know if I could forgive him after all he put me through. I need to trust him first. " I don't know if I could right now. I need to be able to trust you won't ever do that again to me. It really destroyed me."
"Then I will earn your trust. Someway. Honestly though I hated everything I did to you and I regretted it as soon as I got home every night and thought about everything I did that day. You weren't fat..you aren't fat at all. You are beautiful. Please don't just push me away I need you to trust me you were the worst mistake I ever made in my life and I want a second chance."
"Okay. I'll give you a chance. But you have to come up with all of the ideas of how to earn my trust if I tell you how then how do I know you aren't just leading me on for something."
"Okay!! Yes!! I will ok how about I pick you up Friday at 6 and we will go to the fair. How does that sound?"
"That's sounds good I'll be ready and i guess u know where my house is I haven't moved."
"Yeah I know where it is."
"Okay see you then. Now I need to get back to my friends."
"Yeah ok see you then."
I get out of the cars and walk back in. Anjie hands me my drink and Mackenzie asked what he wanted.
I told them he wants me to forgive him and trust him.
"WHAT!!! Your not going to right? After all he put you through??!?!"
"He said he was sorry and explained everything and he almost started crying I could tell he wasn't lying but I also told him after this he is not getting another chance if he blows it."
"I don't have a good feeling about this." Bailey says.
"I think she should give him the chance , bUT she has to tell us every detail about what happens." Mackenzie says.
"Agreed." Katie says.
"Okay so I'm going to the fair with him Friday night. Meanwhile I still have to get the write up signed."
"It's almost time for work we should probably get headed back to Publix to get our cars." Mackenzie says.
"Yeah okay let's go." Bailey says as she stands up with her coffee.
We walk out to her car and drive back to Publix. We all get into our separate cars and change clothes. Katie and Anjie go to work at Waffle House and Bailey Mackenzie and me all head out to work at DJs pizza.
When we get there, we don't see many cars. We walk in and the only people here are the workers, except Mackenzie's mom, Stephanie.
"Where's mom?" She asks as soon as she come in and she also sees Jenny isn't here. One of the older workers came up and said there's been and accident and Mackenzies mom is in the hospital.
"WHAT WHY?!!" She yells and gets in her car.
We drive to the hospital where the worker said her mom was and ask the lady where her mom was. We rush into the room and Jenny is sitting and crying.
"What happened?!!!" Mackenzie asks, worried.
"The new young girl that cleans the place had just mopped the floor and didn't put out the sign. It was the time of day when everyone rushes in for lunch. Your mom was rushing to get a pizza out of the oven for the buffet, and she slipped and hit her head. The doctors think she has a concussion so she will have to have an MRI."
Mackenzie starts crying and me and bailey surrounded her and hugged her.
We stayed for a few hours comforting Mackenzie and then she drifted off to sleep. I had to get home and I guess so did Bailey. We told Jenny to tell Mackenzie we went home when she woke up.
When I get home my mom is passed out thank god. I run up to my room and start making the fake permission slip to get her to sign the write up.
I printed it out and stapled it to the write up. My mom is still passed out as I walk into the living room and then my dad walked in the front door. Since he is here I might as well get him to sign it it would be easier than mom. I showed it to him and I told him I need $30 to go on the field trip. He signed and gave me the 30 bucks and I went back up to my room.
Well at least I got that done.
Sorry guys it was so long before I updated the last two chapters I hope you like the book!!!
