I looked up at the three girls standing beside me looking disappointed
"what?"
"you left early to come home and smoke weed, are you kidding me" Sophia said
I immediately bursted into tears and Amanda rushed to hug me
"im s-sorry, I had it for emer-"
"no, no, you shouldnt have it at all, itll make things worse and it wouldnt help you through everything" Amanda said to me
"does Daniel know" Karle asked
"no"
"tell him" she said as I immediately shook my head
"n-no no he cant know he will look at me differently, I cant loose him"
Sophia sighed and hugged me, we all group hugged and I pulled away
"im telling matt" Amanda said as she pulled out her phone
"no Amanda please"
"too late" I heard the text message sound and immediately the ringer started going off
"hello, you are? oh ok um were in her and Karles room, the spare key is in the mailbox beside the door" she hung up and looked at me
so Matt was surprising you to come pick you up and fly with you back to Washington, his plane was leaving in an hour so hes coming
"you have to tell Daniel" Karle gave me a look and I put my head in my hand and used the other to get my phone
"ill call him to come over, but I need you guys to give us space"
"of course" they said in sync
——
Daniel walked into the room and Sophia left
I was silent and he sat on my bed "everything alright babe?"
"I need to tell you something"
he sat back against the wall and I started telling him, start to finish, and what had just happened
I sat in front of him and wiped the tears from my eyes and then playing with the rings on my fingers
his arms immediately wrapped around me and I cried into his shoulder
"im sorry"
"no don't apologize"
we sat in silence for a while and he pulled away
"oh my god" he said and sounded like he felt bad
he wrapped his arms around me again and I buried my face into his neck
I heard his heart beating at a slow pase and it started to make me calm down and take deep breaths
"matt is gonna be here soon and hes gonna yell at me and im scared, I know i made this mistake but I dont wanna be yelled at"
"as long as you will never do it ever again no matter what, everything will be okay, but just know, even if you start to struggle with this again, i will never turn my back on you, ill be here to help you through it"
I kissed him and he put his hands on my waist pulling me closer to him
