this morning i woke up to a bunch of calls.

it was them. the group.

i never responded to anyone but johnny.

"hi." i say picking up my phone

"um hey mackenzie." johnny nervously says.

he never calls me mackenzie, and that's how you know it's serious.

"why'd you call?" i questioned.

"i just wanted to say i'm-" he gets cut off.

"if you're going to apologize, i don't know okay." i responded.

"oh- well either way i'm sorry i never paid attention to you and treated you like a ghost. we all are."

"i'd rather them say it themselves instead of you saying it for them." i rolled my eyes, listening.

"i know mackenzie. i feel terrible for doing this to you." he mumbles.

"johnny, i-"

"i know you're not gonna forgive me straight away, you're going to take as long as you want." he utters.

"no." i say.

"what?" he asks.

"i forgive you. i know you. you'd always be the first one to apologize over something. you care the most. i know it. just tell the others that it'll take longer for me to forgive them." a smile slightly forms on my face.

"i know you don't- wait you forgive me?" he questions in a tone.

"yes." i reassure.

"thank you kenzie, and i will." he finishes.

i hangup after chatting with him for three minutes.

we'll see how this ends up, i guess.
