Samantha stood, peering around the hall. She didn't know whether or not to leave or not. Her head hurt from the amount she had been crying making it hard for her to decide. Shaking her head she stood up and walked to the elevator.

"You know. I didn't realize it was you, if I had.. Well our meeting would have one differently." She heard the voice from behind her and stopped. It was Tony. She stood straight and wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"How? You would have told me to get out of your sight? Pick on me?" She was about to go on when Tony interrupted her,

"I would have apologized immediately." Samantha stopped and stood speechless. What could she say? Her old 'bully' wanted to tell her sorry.. That was something she only had thought about when she was a kid. She was in her 20s now. It had been a while.

"Would you really. I didn't think that was your style." She said almost hissing the last words in a lower upset tone. Tony caught this and didn't walk closer. Sighing,

"I'm sorry ok? I know it doesn't sound like something I would say, but I am. And I have wanted to say it for a while. But you never gave me a chance." He looked up at her as Samantha turned to look at Tony face to face. "So yeah, you can walk away now. But I am apologizing for being a sick cruel person to you." Samantha looked down still not able to say much. Her head hurt and even more now that her brain had to comprehend what was going on.

Tony, thinking she didn't accept his apology turned back. "I guess I don't get a second chance at everything." He said before starting to walk away. Samantha had to make a decision right then right there.
Did she want to forgive him and have a better life here, or leave this building and walk away from her problem forever.

"Tony... Wait." She sighed and he turned back and raised a brow. "I accept your apology."

Tony smiled and Samantha walked over about to collapse into a teary mess when Tony put an arm around her to help her up.

"Lets get you to my office." He said and walked with her there.

Well she had done it. Samantha had accepted her 6th grade 'bully's apology. Something not even her journal could have guessed. She never thought he would see her like that again. Broken. Only this time it was worse. Last time she had only yelled at him, angry. This time she had broken down crying, right in front of him. If this would have happened back then she would have never heard the end of it and maybe even broke entirely. But she did it. And honestly, it made her feel like a weight of a million just lifted from her shoulders. Nothing had felt so good in her life.
