Chapter Seven
I didn't know what to think.
What do you do when the person who you once loved, and betrayed you, gives you a reason for his behavior?
"Callie?" he asked, almost as if he was frightened. "Say something."
"I-I," I paused. "I can't."
Is he lying?
"Callie I know what you're thinking but I'm not lying! I swear I had to act like that. If anyone thought that I still liked you I-I they would have hurt you!" he looked sincere.
But sincerity is dead.
"You could have told me," I said quietly.
"What?"
"You could have told me!" I screamed. "You could have just told me and I would have known you didn't mean it. You put me through years of torture because of a stupid asshole?"
His faced morphed from sincerity into confusion. "You...swore?" he asked dazed. "You don't swear."
"Yeah well I do a lot of things that I didn't two years ago."
"Callie, please just listen to me, I didn't want to do that!"
I just stared at him. "Yeah, just like I don't want to do this." And with that said I kneed him where the sun sure as hell doesn't shine.
"Did you know that I was literally afraid of you? Did you know I was so afraid that when you showed up at school behind me I almost cried?"
He looked down at his shoes.
"Did you know that I spent countless nights crying myself to sleep because of something you did to me? Everything you did to me to make me hate you worked."
He was speechless.
"Now take me out of this forest so I can go home and take a bath," I said rudely.
"I-I okay," he relented.

He stayed true to his word and took me home, and I stayed true to mine by immediately jumping into a nice hot bath. The nice thing about it is that all my muscles are relaxing but the bad is that it gave me time to think about everything.
How do you drop a bombshell on someone like that and expect them to be fine with it?
And how am I supposed to react to all this? Do I forgive him? This is too much news to take in over one bath.

After my bath I got dressed into my favorite pajamas. It's time for some gossip girl and comfort food.
I haven't finished the show but I have a premonition that gossip girl is Dan. While I sat there shipping Blaire and Chuck thoughts clouded my mind.
He was my best friend, my rock, my savior but then he changed. Do I trust his words or do I remember the years of torture?
I knew deep down in my heart eventually I would forgive him, if he proved to me what he said. I love him and it's as simple as that. Even after all those years of torture and pain, I still only remember the good times.
"Seb! Get down!" I shouted. "You're going to get hurt."
The stupid nine year old had climbed a tree and was dancing up there. He's going to get himself killed.
"Callie I'll be fine, stop worrying."
I stared at him uneasily. "Sebby you're gonna get hurt, just come down, please?"
