I ran upstairs to my bedroom and locked the door. How could I be stupid enough to lose people so important to me. I couldn't contain the tears anymore. I allowed them to fall, creating a mini river down my cheeks.

"Why!" I shout

I ran over to my bed and grabbed a pillow and threw it across the room.

"Everything is going to be okay Ashley, calm down" I tell myself

I decide to watch a movie, to calm the frustration that was building inside of me.
About ten minutes into the movie there was a knock on the door.

"Ashley are you in there?" A voice asks

"G-g-go away" I shout

"Please just open the door and let me explain" the voice says

"Please just go away" I say

"No, not until you open the door" the voice says

I walk over to the door and unlock it. I step back from the door and take a seat on my bed and I allow the person to make an entrance.

"Ashley I am so sorry" Tristan says

Just looking at him made me feel hurt.

"Why did you do that?" I ask, my voice at the peek of breaking

"I am sorry" he says looking me dead in my tears eyes

"Please forgive me" he says, his eyes full of regret

"It's not about me forgiving you, it's about how you show you are really sorry" I say

"Well then let me show you" he says

"Show me what?" I asks

"Show you how sorry I am" he says sincerely

"How?" I ask

"Let me take you on a date and make up for all of this" he says

"Fine, But on one condition" I say

"Yeah" he says

"If I don't think you deserve my forgiveness, I don't have to forgive you" I say

He nods.

"Let's go" I say getting up from my bed

"No not now" he says

"Why not now?" I ask

"Tonight" he says

"Why tonight?" I ask

"Well because I need to do some planning." He says as he turns his back to me and walks out the door.

I take my phone out from my pocket.
Me: Emily come over, I need help

Emily: yeah sure xoxo

I walk over to my wardrobe and start planning outfits. I have placed about three outfits together when Emily came bursting through my bedroom door.

"I am here" she says and I laugh

"I can see so" I say

"What did you need my help with?" She ask walking towards me

"I need you to help me get ready for tonight" I say

"What's happening tonight?" She asks

"I am going on an apology date" I say honestly

"Please don't say with Brent, because that is just wrong" she says

"Nope with Tristan" I say

"I never knew Tristan did dates" she says smirking

"Aren't you going to shout at me" I say

"Why would I do that?" She asks

"For going out with Tristan" I say

"It's your life Ashley" she says and I smile

"So where are you guys going?" She asks

"Don't know" I reply

"Oh, but anyway let's get you ready" she says as she walks over to my wardrobe.

In the end, we decided to do a white lace dress, with a cute white sandal.

"How do you want me to do your hair?" She asks as she drags me to my dressing table

"I usually have my hair in its natural way" I say

"Which is straight" she finishes my sentence

"So I think just for tonight, we curl my hair slightly" I say

"Okay" she says

It takes her about an hour or so, to do my hair and make up.

"Are you ready for tonight?" She asks grinning

"Yeah I guess" I answer

"Let me guess, nervous" she says and I nod

"I want to forgive him but what happens, if he can't convince me too" I say

"If you want to forgive him, then do that and if he can't convince you, that's fine too" she says

"Thanks Emily" I say

"Thanks for what?" She says

"Thank you for being the worlds greatest best friend." I say

She pulls me into a hug.

"Thank you for excepting me for me" she says and I laugh.

"I love you so much" I say

"Right back at ya" she says

"Let's go wait for him to come downstairs" I say

We walk downstairs and take a seat on the couch in the living room.

"What's the time?" I ask

She checks her phone.

"Nearly 6:30" She says

I nod

"Did he tell you what time he is going to pick you up?" She asks

"Nope" I say

We hear a car pull up in our driveway. Emily ran towards the window and peeps.

"He's here" she says as she claps her hands together

"Finally" I say rolling my eyes

We hear a knock on the door. I quickly go to open it before Emily could.

"Hey" he says

I stand there speechless at the sight before me.

He looked different but a good different.
