And the question that I've been dreading has come, "Where does that leave you with Jennie?"

A dire feeling of apprehensiveness passed over me, making my stomach recoil and my head throb. It was the question I've been contemplating these past few weeks after sealing my decision to pursue modelling in Thailand, but up until now I still don't have the answer to it. "I honestly don't know", I muttered, defeated.

"You mean you still haven't talked to her yet? Even after these past two months?!"

"It's not that easy." I explained myself, before biting my lips in guilt because I know I'm just making excuses.

"Of course it's never easy! But you just have to go for it! Nothing would get resolved with you just sitting around and wasting the precious time you have left that you could be spending with her!" She exclaimed, making me feel even more anxious. Of course I already know this but that doesn't stop me from feeling so damn terrified, unable to make a single move.

Breaking away from her gaze, I looked down on my feet and admitted, "I'm afraid." I played with the hem of my shirt and continued, "What if she doesn't forgive me? What if I will never be friends with her ever again?"

"You will never know if you don't try."

"But that's what I'm most afraid of, knowing for sure that we'll never be friends ever again."

"Hey", Rosie held my fumbling hands, making me cease its motions and look up at her sincere pair of brown orbs. "I know how terrified you are, and I know that I will never replace Jennie; but just know that I will always be here for you. Just like before, remember? I will always be on your side." Her soothing voice coaxed, making me start feeling less anxious than I was a few seconds before.

"Thank you." I mouthed, slightly lifting the corners of my lips for a smile.

"You know, Jennie may not be ready to forgive you now, but trust me when I say that you two will eventually find your way back towards each other."

Hope rising; doubts falling; I stared steadfastly at her and asked with expect eyes, "You really think so?"

"No, I don't think so. I know so." She pronounced with so much confidence, that I started latching on the little spark of hope that she had ignited in me. "Remember the best friend I told you about?" She asked, a ghost of a smile tracing the corners of her pink lips.

"Of course, what about it?" 

"Well, we already made up." Her smile was now on full display, lighting up her entire face aglow, and giving her a youthful radiance, full of blissful hope and innocence.

"Really?!" I exclaimed, absorbing some of the positive energy emanating from her.

"Yes, silly. It takes time for scars to heal but it does. You know, I thought mine never would, but then Jisoo -that's her name, by the way - she just showed up out of nowhere, I found out that I'm not hurting anymore, and when she smiled so easily, like an old friend, every bitterness I felt just faded away into thin air. I believe that with friendship as strong as ours, it will never be too late to fix things, or too early for that matter." By the time she finished explaining, all the doubts and indecision I had was gone, and in its place was a little spark of hope ignited.

Before I could thank my friend for her advise, I suddenly found myself being shoved backwards. Incredulously, I looked up at a chuckling Rosie but she just waved me off, exclaiming, "What are you still doing here? Go get your friend back!"

Chuckling at her assertiveness, I shook my head as I hurriedly walked backwards, shouting, "I will you dork face!"

"You better! Good luck, you big crybaby!"
