Chapter 70
Two days later...
Derek continued to ignore me yesterday but today's a new day and I'm trying to have some hope. I'm riding with Becky to school because I don't feel like taking the bus this morning. We get to school on time and enter together. Our lockers are right next to each other which is wonderful. Though as I grab some books that I need for the first half of the day, a hand is placed on my shoulder. I whiz around quickly and am face to face with Derek. My anxiety begins to increase and my legs nearly give out under me. "Hey Derek." "Hey Myra. Can we talk?" Becky gets in front of me protectively. "Only if you're going to apologize to her." Derek gives her a nod and Becky gives me a quick hug. "I'll see you in first period Myra." I watch her leave and turn my full attention onto Derek.
"Derek, why have you been treating me like shit?" He sighs frustratedly. "I've been having problems at home Myra, you know that." "Yes I do know that, but that doesn't give you the right to treat me like shit Derek. I feel for you and am here to support you, but if you think that I'm going to let you use me as your punching bag, then you have another thing coming." Derek's eyes are becoming watery. "I'm sorry Myra. I've been a complete asshole to you. You've done nothing wrong and don't deserve my cruelty. Do you forgive me?"
Wanting to make him tick a little bit to get even, I take a few minutes to think about it before answering with a "yes." He envelops me into the tightest hug he's ever given me. I can tell that he probably thought I was going to break up with him. To be honest, I was slowly getting on the verge of doing so, though I'm so happy that I don't have to because I really do love him.
Derek takes my hand in his and we head to first period to meet up with Becky. Ted's only in two of my classes, fifth and seventh period. Becky flashes us a smile when she notices that Derek and I made up. The rest of the day is worry free. :)
