A Way Back

Chapter 17

Elizabeth POV
**

  After what happened, the end of the day was so stressing for me. I couldn't focus on my work neither could I find an  explication. Hatred was clear on Haley's face today, I'm not saying I was expecting something else but she could just come and talk to me. It would've been better. Besides that, why would Chris ignore  the both of us? Maybe I deserve to be ignored but I guess she did nothing.  I should   step on my love and go makeup between them. Chris hates me already, and his girlfriend thinks I'm his side chick. How's that possible? I barely can talk to him like normal people.
The pizza I made is ready. I brought  it to the living room. There's nothing better than Netflix and Pizza.
I was enjoying my solo moments when  I heard the doorbell. As I opened the door a blond long lady was standing in front of me holding a white box.
« Would you like some company ? » she declared.
I was perplexed for a while. What  is she doing here? Who gave her my address? «ye-yeah sure, come inside» I snapped.
« I brought some donuts with me. You know, girls night» she said with excitement on her face. I couldn't share this feeling with her.
« Okey, give them to me. I'll pug them on a plate and join you. Act home Haley » I  gave her a short grin.
What's going on for god sake? Haley and I  doing a girls night . She was screaming at my face hours ago . How can I put up with her? There's nothing common between us to talk about except Chris. Oh! I understand , she came to talk about him. I need a quick escape . God Knows what will happen. 
« I like your apartment. It feels so intimate. Who knows, maybe we will become friends and  I could come here more often» she snapped. My mouth falls from her talking. What? Friends? What's happened to this girl? I guess she won't be able to say the same thing when she knows I'm Chris's ex.
«Yeah, welcome anytime,» I said trying to hide my nervousness.
« So I think we should start talking about what happened today, shall  we ?» I nodded « I'm sorry for the things I said this morning. You are also a girl and you understand why I behaved that way. Chris was so distant these days, with No calls and no messages. So I thought there's a girl after that. And when I saw you walking out of his crib that day. I thought it was you » I nodded again looking down« to be honest with you I was stalking you. From the day he left me in the restaurant. You know, I got my doubts too »
« It's okay if I were you I would do the same thing But there's  one thing I can't understand. How did you change your mind so fast? What happened in the last 3 hours? Did you and Chris talk ?» I questioned.
She looked at me with sad eyes « when Chris left I thought of what happened. And I knew I judged you so fast. You don't seem like a side chick. Besides that Leo told me that you are one of his high school friends, that's why he is treating you like that. I'm sorry "she hugged me tightly. I was shocked not knowing what I should do?
She pulled back "how can I Apologize to Chris ? I couldn't find him . He is not home too » she uttered.
While she was chewing her donuts. my mind Flew somewhere else. Maybe it's meant for them to be together. I mean Chris and I have no chance. He hates me and can't even trust me. No matter how hard I will try. Nothing can bring him back. I think I'm going to bury my love for him and let him live peacefully  like he used to. I'm
The reason behind everything. Because of my selfishness, I was going to screw his life. I need to Do something good for him to fix what I did.
We had a little chit-chat before Haley left. She is  a good girl after all.  I lied  down  on the sofa. So many things going on in my life lately. Until I was close to falling asleep the doorbell rang again. I set correctly «oh god! No more surprises »

I opened the door and there he was standing placing his suit's jacket on his shoulder looking at me deeply. Before I could say anything he snapped " don't worry, I didn't come to argue with you neither to insult you" I nodded and let him in.
