Andre was sitting on his bed, eating a sandwich that he'd made for himself while watching the hockey game. Just two days ago, Andre had left to Bella's place after fighting with Tom. They haven't spoken since.

Andre knew Tom was home now, for he could hear him pacing outside of Andre's door for about ten minutes. Finally, he knocked.

"Can I come in?" Tom asks quietly, peeking his head through the door.

Andre looks briefly at the door, then back at the TV screen. Tom sighs and comes in, sitting on the bed.

"How's Bella?" Tom asks.

"Why do you care?" Andre asks, his eyes not moving from the TV.

"Look, Andre, I'm sorry." Tom sighs. "I'm sorry for saying shit about her. I was just worried for you."

"You don't have to be." Andre replies.

"I know, now I know. I'm sorry."

Andre finally tears his attention away from the screen, confused about his friend's change of heart. "So that's it? You're fine now?" he asks in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm fine now." Tom says reluctantly.

"You're gonna be okay with her now?" Andre asks to clarify. Tom nods. "It's weird, because you guys were actually friends before." Andre points out.

"Yeah, when we took pictures together and she sent them to you." Tom almost chuckles, remembering when Bella would pull pranks on Andre.

Andre rolls his eyes. "Okay, well I think you should apologize to Bella." he says, changing the subject.

"Really? I should?" Tom asks, not really understanding why.

"Yes." Andre says, taking out his phone. He hadn't noticed that Bella had already texted him twice, and he had a missed FaceTime call. He called her back.

"Hey." Bella smiles once the call goes through.

"What are you doing?" Andre looks at the screen, confused because of the unfamiliar background.

"Shopping. I needed your opinion on this skirt." Bella says, switching the video to the back camera. Andre could see that she was in some kind of change room trying on clothes. She positions the phone to the mirror in there so that Andre could see the small leather skirt.

"Woah," his eyes widen as his face breaks into a smile.

"Too short?" Bella asks.

Andre flashes the screen to Tom, whose eyes also widen immediately. "That is the shortest skirt I've ever seen."

"Oh." Bella says, sounding upset, switching the camera back to her face. "Hey Tom."

"I like it, Bella." Andre smiles, and Tom nudges him. "You look good."

"Thank you, babe." she chuckles.

"Tom has something to tell you." Andre says, giving his phone to Tom.

Tom sighs before speaking. "I'm sorry for being an ass, Bella. Hopefully you can forgive me and we can continue pranking Andre like old times."

Bella's lips widen into a smile as she thinks of the old times. "Apology accepted. And yes, I wouldn't mind pranking him some more."

"Hey, you said you wouldn't do that!" Andre exclaims, grabbing his phone back.

"No promises!" Bella laughs, and Andre can't help but laugh along with his girlfriend. Even Tom smiled. Although he was still uneasy for Andre, he was glad that everything was finally off his chest, and maybe things could go back to normal.
