[35] - at least once

do you ever ask for forgiveness?

J.

justin. justin never had to forgive anyone, because no one had ever apologized for anything. for calling him terrible names, or avoiding him because of his condition, or categorizing him.

he didn't know that one he'd have to forgive and forget.

after a while of explaining and a bit of arguing, season found herself suspended from going to her classes for a period of time, after she explained what happened with lauren.

surprisingly, the principal of the college did not expell season, but gave her a type of warning and they said that they'd talk to lauren and maybe she wouldn't be expelled, either.

currently, season was packing up all her belongings from the house she shared with lauren. she was up in her bedroom, packing all of the clothes she belonged. a few bags were all she used, as she stuffed them with all her things.

just as she pressed the shirt into the last box, she heard feet running up the staircase. she felt the anger rise in her system, as she lightly kicked the biege box to the side, and looked at the open door.

she swore to god, that if she saw lauren, she only go after her again. the thought of justin never communicating with her again made her want to almost cry.

"season!?" a voice was at the top of her staircase, making her stop all of her movements. the voice wasn't a female's voice, so she wasn't so angry, as she walked towards the doorway. looking over to the stairs, she saw her friends. all expect lauren, who she didn't classify as a friend anymore.

"season, what happened!?" luke asked his friend, as erin and sierra ran over to her and embraced her into a warm hug. a hug season didn't resist. her arms went around them, as best they could, and she pulled them close to her. yes, she missed her friends.

luke and cole walked closer, the confusion written all over to their faces. after the girls stopped hugging, season escorted them back down the stairs and then began to explain what happened only a day ago.

"okay, so, you all know justin, right?" season started with the basics, making sure they all knew who justin was and his condition. they all nodded their heads, "wasn't he the guy sierra was all on?" erin asked while she pointed at sierra. "yeah," season told erin.

"well, he is mute, so he doesn't speak. he has trust issues and it was hard for him to actually open up to me, well we are getting there, but basically he was so tense around me," season went on with her story, as her friends listened, "and, so he asked me on a date and i agreed, because at that point we were kind of in a relationship,"

"and, so i came home, and told lauren. at first she didn't like it and was angry with me and him going out," luke squinted his eyes, remembering when lauren came over to his house and ranted about this relationship season started. she seemed so pissed then.

"so, she vented to me about a few things, and when it came time for my date, lauren locked me in my fucking room," season sighed, closing her eyes to reopen them and calm herself down a bit. "woah," cole mumbled under his breath, astonished at his friend's actions.
