"Mary, shut up and listen. I don't want to argue with you." Austin said right away.

I opened my mouth to try to fight back, but he shushed me. How could he just waltz in like he owns the place? Especially after what he did.

"I messed up, I know that. I'm not going to say I'm sorry, because that's all I ever say to you. So, here it goes. I was wrong. I'm fucked up, and I realize that. However, you are the mother of my children, and you are my best friend. You may be done, but I can't even explain to you how much I love you. How much I always will love you...There's nothing else that I can possibly say or do to make you understand that. All I want you to know is that I love you too much to walk away." He explained.

"Austin, I love you. I do. It's a lot to take in, it is. But, you know as well as I do that I can't go back to you after what you said, did, and admitted to. You used me. So, it's time to turn the tables. Move on. I don't care if you're walking away or not. You don't love me. You may care, but you don't love me. Mistakes have been made, and bonds have been broken. But, don't expect me to take you back again." I sighed.

"I know. But, I do love you, weather you want to believe it or not. I always have, and always will. But, right now...I want to own up to mistakes. That's all I'm doing. I'm telling you I was wrong. I'm asking for forgiveness. But, I know it's too late to get you back now. You gave me so many chances and I screwed it up." He said.

"I forgive you." I said.

He smiled. "Thanks."

"Yeah..." I looked down.

"You know, I'll always be here for you." He stated.

"Yeah, same here." I nodded.

"Friends?" He asked.

"Friends." I said.

With that he walked out the door. Not turning back once. Knowing that he was forgiven once again. I just hope he doesn't keep making the same mistakes.
