The Best Friend Code- 2

Ryleigh's POV

I woke up bright and early the next morning, determined to apologise to my best friend. She was the one I always went to and I had to fix this. I had to say sorry to her and Bryan. I can't believe I forget his name. I'm such a shit friend.

I ate my breakfast in a hurry, hoping to catch her on her way out. She always was an early bird. Unlike me, I could sleep all day. My bed has been my safe haven these past few years. I can hide under the covers away from everyone and not come out all day and it was the one place Quinton didn't ruin when he broke me. I would never allow anyone to invade my safe space and ruin it. Only Emma and my mum are allowed. They have never and will never break my heart.

When I was done, I ran out the door and down the flight of stairs to the lobby. Luckily, I ran right into Emma.

"Jesus! Watch out Ryleigh" she huffed at me.

"Sorry Em, I just had to catch you before you left" I explained.

"What for?" she asked.

"I wanted to apologise for the shitty way I treated you last night" "I should have let you know I didn't want to go and done something else with you" I apologised.

"I'm also sorry to Bryan for forgetting his name" I added.

"Thanks for your apology, I'll forgive you if you hang out with me tonight" she explained.

"Of course! 7pm, my place" I said excitedly.

"Okay, but for now I really have to get going to class" she said. "See you tonight".
