Half Way Happy | E.D

13.

it was quiet for about 30 minutes. after all i'm not very happy with iridessa.

"want pizza?" she asked. i shrugged, just kinda glancing at her.

"i'll order pizza." she mumbles to herself.

i scroll through instagram, looking at a fashion page. i could do this for hours.

"i'm sorry" she slams her phone on the ground and turns to me.

"why" i say bluntly, my eyes glued to my phone screen. i knew she'd apologize soon. we couldn't really go without each other.

"i didn't mean to make him upset, you know i wouldn't do that on purpose. it just came out, okay?"

"i thought you said you believed in me." i sat all the way up, facing her.

"what? i though were we're upset because i asked him-"

"i'm upset because you told me you believed he wouldn't hurt me. you told me you understood me and you had my back. dess, you're the only person i can trust in this. nobody else believes in me. but you asking him anyway proved to me that you really don't either." i tugged at my hair.

"i do believe in you. i don't know why i just felt the need to ask him, even though i knew the answer was no. i'm sorry, i won't do anything like it again. i promise." she whined, begging for my acceptance.

i sighed and held my arms open, waiting for a hug. she basically ran into my arms. she's a major hugger. i'm not.

unless it's ethan.

but whenever she gets a chance to hug me, she wouldn't miss it.

"okay. so how about that pizza?" i asked, still sorta laughing from the moment before.

"it's on the way" she said proudly. then i remembered about ethan.

"i need to text him" i gasped.

Me: ethan, i'm sorry. dessa told me what happened. she didn't mean it like that, she knows you'd never hurt me. i'm sorry.

i waited.

i waited

and waited

and waited.

eventually, i got a response.

E❤️: it's okay

Me: are you mad at me?

E❤️: no, never. i love you bex, i promise.

Me: okay. i love you too

and with that, we stopped talking.

i guess everything is okay.

phew.
