Remember our Once upon a time

Chapter 12 - Thank you

Jensen watched as the two scrambled up from the floor. The tension in the air was too much and she could sense that both Chris and Angel were disgusted with each other.

"Thank god your safe." Chris said as relief took over his face. There was a flash of something else in his eyes when he saw Elliot with her but it was gone when Jensen took notice of it.

"Yeah..." She trailed off, fidgeting around. The tension in the room was suffocating her.

Her boyfriend had cheated on her best friend but it was an accident, and Jensen herself had sorta cheated on her boyfriend's brother whom liked her best friend.

Confusing? Well there was much to go.

If nothing was done to stop all these tension, she would snap. And nobody wants to see Jensen snap.

"So, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Angel first. I mean, I love all of you and all, but if I were to choose, then Angel would be the first. Call me sexist and all, but the truth always hurts." She said, trying to lighten the mood.

As expected, it didn't work.

Jensen sighed as she watched the two boys walk out of the room, but soon shouting could be heard from the other side. She turned her attention back to Angel but was soon cut off when Angel started her speech.

"AliceI'msosorryIdidn'tknowand-"

"CALM DOWN! " She shouted, causing Angel to flinch, "I'm not angry at you." She said again, calmer this time.

Confusion and surprise shown in her and Jensen wouldn't blame her if she felt confused. She, herself was surprise at how well she was taking all of these.

"After all, this has happen before." As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted it instantly. Angel looked like she was on the verge of breaking down into uncontrollable sobs, and if she were to do that, Jensen would be the one feeling guilty instead.

"I'm so sorry," Angel started, choking back a sob, "I didn't know. I mean, I saw both of you together and all, but Chris has never ever seriously dated another girl, so I thought he was flirting to you. I didn't know he was your boyfriend, until just now."

Tears began to fall from Angel's eyes but there was no emotion held in Jensen's eyes as she looked at her. She felt nothing. No anger, sadness, just nothing. It was as if she was in a dark hole.

"And when we were at the party, I, we, were drunk. Really drunk and when I saw Chris in the room, I thought he was Elliot, since they looked alike, and it was dark. I didn't see the color of his eyes, and I'm just really sorry.

I had a crush on Elliot, but I didn't tell you because I didn't know if you would accept." Angel said, not bothering to wipe her tears. She looked at Jensen with pleading eyes, but Jensen felt nothing. Not even hatred.

"I...I'm just so,so sorry. One thing led to another and if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have known our mistakes, and there's nothing I could do t make you forgive me."

Jensen forced a small smile at her. "I don't hate you, and yeah, I forgive you."

Angel looked up almost instantly and Jensen wondered if her neck hurt.

"You what?" Angel asked, wondering if she heard correctly. If it was her in Jensen's position, she would flip. Jensen didn't even hate her, plus she forgiven her. What in the world was going on?

"I don't hate you." She tried again, "It's kind of hard to hate your best friend right? And like you said, it was an accident due to the alcohol, causing both of you to mistake each other as their loved ones. I don't blame you."
