Before You exit Imagines :)

I'm Sorry - a Riley Imagine

I had been really disappointed. Not only my car had rejected me for the third time this morning, my boyrfriend hadn't texted or called or skyped since a few days and missed new year's eve. I knew he was somehow busy but I also knew he could stop whatever he was doing to at least wish me a Happy New Year. Like he says, he always finds time for me. 

But I tried not to make a big deal about it. He was gone with his family on a trip for the holidays and well, I was left alone in my house. My parents were off to some fancy island and left me here. I thought about organizing something for new year's eve but I was kind of lazy and not the organizing-type of girl. 

So instead of going out, like every girl of my age would do, I stayed home and waited until 2014 came. I didn't do anything special. All I wanted was to see Riley's face -my boyfriend- on my computer at midnight. That's what he had told each other before he left. Though, he must have forgotten and I tried to let it go, as if it was nothing important. But deep down inside, I knew I cared and that I was hurt because I had waited like a dumb girl by myself when I could've done something with my friends. 

And now, well I was still alone. My parents were supposed to come back in two or three days, I can't remember. My cat was hidden somewhere in my house, waiting for me to get up and feed him. But he had been ignoring me all morning so it was okay if I let him starve for a while, isn't? I swear I'm not that mean, I just felt like not getting up. I went back to sleep.

I woke up an hour later because I was hungry. I ran downstairs to kitchen and eat the first thing I saw -my left over from last night. While it was in the microwave, I fed my cat and gave him fresh water. I heard the noise from the microwave and took my plate and started eating. The mac and cheese felt so good going down my belly. I took the computer from the other side of the counter and checked if I had gotten messages. None. 

Well, I was still waiting for Riley to send me something. 

Maybe he was dead.

Who am I kidding, he's alive.

I know it because he posts selfies every two minutes.

Or, 

it was just queued, like on Tumblr.

But Twitter didn't have that option.

He was alive.

My mind was on fire, thinking about him. I really missed my man but at the same time, the mac and cheese was still so delicious. And I could go out to get Starbucks later and then go for a walk and at the beach. I was going completely crazy.  So I only finished my lunch and went to get myself dress.

I put on my running shoes and decided to go for, obviously, a run. It was my new resolution for this year -to run more often and by that it meant to start running. As I opened the door, I saw my boyfriend standing there, with flowers and an apology smile. 

"Happy new year!" He wished. All of a sudden, all the grudge or whatever bad feeling I was holding against him for not contacting me disappeared. "I'm sorry," he started explaining himself, "There was no wifi where I was and..." I really wanted to laugh my kept it to myself. Where the hell in this world there is no wifi? Riley was such a bad liar, after all.

"It's okay." I accepted his apology. " I mean, I was a little bit angry with you, and I know you were somewhere was wifi was available but I still forgive you." He handed me the flowers and I invited him in. We walked to the kitchen and talked about how his trip went and how my life had been boring the last few days.

Of course, I didn't go for a run. We stayed in and lay on the couch, watched a marathon that was on tv. " I really missed you," He whispered into my ears. "Don't you think I missed you? You were all busy in L.A when I was staying in watching tv." We laughed. "I know you didn't sit here and watch a bunch of tv shows," Riley stated. "Oh, you bet I did." I smiled. He put his arm around me and I rested on him. "I'm still very very sorry." I looked at him. "I hope you know how much I love you."
