Chapter 32-Apology

Uni's p.o.v

I ran to the entrance of the building we were in. I saw Ashlie standing there with bags and stuff. I ran over to her almost out of breathe.

"Did you see Cory?" I asked huffing a bit.

"Uh Yeah, he ran out that way, Why? What's going on?" She said pointing out the doors.

"No time to explain, bye Ashlie," I said. I turned back to where she pointed and ran. I slammed open doors. Once I got out people were looking at me weird. I tried to make myself look calm so people wouldn't look at me. 

After I got out of the view of those people I ran again. I didn't really know where Cory would be. And even if I found him he'd probably run away. Should I get him something to apologize? Probably. I'll just get him flowers.

I rushed to the flower shop while thinking of where I could possibly find Cory. Once I got to the flower shop I went in. There was an employee behind the counter. He looked at me and smiled.

"Hello," he said. That voice sounds familiar.

"Hi,"

"What flowers are you looking for?" He asked. 

"Well I need to apologize to someone,"

"How bad is the situation?"

"Well I yelled at them..." I said looking down at the floor.

"What's their favourite colour?"

"Blue," I said. He chuckled a bit.

"Is it the same person you were going on a date with?"

"What?" I said. How does he know about that?

"Oh right you probably don't recognize me, im the guy you talked to at the conventions."

"Oh it's you!"

"Yeah, anyway I think I know what flowers you should give them,"

"What flowers?" I said. He smiled and came out from behind the counter. He walked over to where all the blue flowers were.

"I'm not really sure what any flowers mean but you said they like blue so these flowers are blue and very pretty, I'm Sure they'll love them," he said.

"Yeah but What flowers should I get, there are so many" I said.

"Well How about these and some of those and a few of them," he said pointing to some dark blue roses and light blue tulips and some small sky blue flowers. I nodded not really caring. I just want to find Cory and apologize. He went back behind the counter and wrapped the flowers in blue paper. He tied it with a blue ribbon and handed it to me.

"How much?" I asked.

"You can have it free,"

"No I can't,"

"Well to bad cuz your are,"

"Why?"

"Cuz it's to apologize and you already kinda payed for your mistake by having your date ruined and your date running away."

"Yeah but it's my fault,"

"Just Go and find them," he said coming back out from behind the counter and pushing me out the door. I turned around and he smiled. I rolled my eyes. I don't  have time for this, I have to find Cory.

I thought about a place to look and remember the one area he ran to after getting mad at mini-putt. He might be there. It's worth a shot to go check. It was near the ice cream shop.

I ran towards where the ice cream shop is. Once I got there I looked around for the area with all the trees and stuff. I saw the area and ran towards where all the trees were. I stopped where I could see in. I saw Cory sitting under the tree hugging his legs to his chest. He had his head buried in his knees. This scene broke my heart.

Cory's p.o.v

I saw sobbing under the tree. I heard running and then it stopped. I didn't bother looking at who it was. I just continued sobbing. I heard something fall on the ground. After a few seconds someone sat beside me and pulled me into their lap. They hugged me tightly. 

They began to rub my back. I moved at bit so I saw sobbing into their chest. I wrapped my arms around them hugging them back. The person didn't speak. But I still know who it is. I could tell because one because of what they were wearing and two because of how they act and third because of how they smell. I know that smell from anywhere. 

It was Uni who was hugging me. He probably wasn't talking because he didn't want me to freak out. He probably thinks that if I knew it was him I would be here. He may have caused this but I know he's sorry and regrets it.

I was still crying a bit. I felt Uni's hug get tighter and I stopped crying. I was a bit confused. But then I felt the wet drops my back. He was crying. He began crying more and more. He soon started weeping. Did he feel that bad?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he began saying through tears. He just kept repeating himself. He started saying sorry more and more quietly. He then began just saying it over and over again, his voice not becoming anymore quiet.

All I could do was rub his back and hug him. After awhile he stopped crying. He stopped hugging me. I let go of him and looked at him. He looked sad. His eyes were puffy and he had tear marks on his cheeks. I frowned, i hate seeing him like this. He smiled at me.

"I'm so so so so sorry Cory," he said hugging me. I sighed and hugged back.

"It's okay just please don't cry,"

"But it's not okay," he said letting go of me.

"I forgive you though," I said.

"But what I did, I made you cry and I made you run away, I ruined our date. You were supposed to have fun and be happy but I ruined that. I yelled at you for something dumb. I even pushed you! I can't forgive myself for what I've done, it's all so bad, i don't understand why or how you forgive me. I ruined everyth-" I cut him off by kissing him. I pulled away and smiled. He had tears running down his cheeks. I wiped them away with my thumb.

He looked at me a little surprised. Them he smiled. He pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back. That lasted for maybe two minutes. Then he pulled away. He grabbed my hand and stood up, pulling me up with him. He walked to where Uni walked in from.

There was a bouquet of blue flowers on the ground. He picked them up and handed them to me.

"I wanted to apologize with some flowers," he said rubbing the back of his neck. I smiled.

"They're  beautiful," I said looking at the bouquet.

"I got help from the guy at the store," he admitted. I chuckled a bit.

"They're still beautiful,"

"Yeah, So What now?"

"Well first we should fix our make up, then we can continue our date,"

"Yeah, but maybe this time we can go to the game section,"

"Sounds good," I said taking his hand. He smiled at me and we walked back to our hut to fix our makeup. After ten minutes we got it to look good again. We walked back to where the conventions were going on. We held hands as we entered the building.

I noticed Ashlie smile at Uni and give him a thumbs up and Uni did it back. I chuckled then smiled. We walked over to the gaming part. They definitely made a decision with the dates. They had to of made an arrangement. 

Well the dates add to their total points. Turns out Uni's still in the lead but only by like ten. Second is SGC then Shelby and Bri. Shelby and Bri are only like five behind  SGC though. I wonder who'll end up with the most points in the end.
