Obeying Mrs. White [Completed]

Chapter Twenty Two: One apology leads to something

Sorry for the late update. Since Hurricane Michael came through and destroyed the Florida panhandle, I've been out of electricity for a few days. But nonetheless, hope you enjoy!

My mom suggested that I go over to Emma's the next day, which was Sunday, to apologize. I was nervous because I knew she would still be mad at me and she might not take my apology.

I just wanted to make things right.

I pulled up in her driveway and my nerves were shot. I took a few deep breaths before walking up to the front door and knocking.

The worst part about this was waiting on her to open the door. I was expecting her to see me then slam the door in my face because that's what kept playing inside my head the whole time I was waiting.

As soon as I heard the door start unlocking, my heart was already about to explode as soon as the door opened and Emma stood there.

I stared at her as she looked terrible. Her hair was a mess, her eyes were bloodshot as if she was crying, and she was in pajamas.

"Yes?" She stared at me.

I couldn't believe this was Emma in front of me. She looked like a train wreck and it kind of broke my heart to see her this way. I'm not even sure if it was because of me, but it still hurt to see her like this.

"I came to talk." I watched as she was staring at me. "If you want."

She continued to stare at me for a moment until she opened the door more and told me to come inside. She had shut the door behind me and I watched as she started walking down the hall.

I followed her into the living room. She sat down on the couch and I stood there as I watched her for a moment until she looked over at me. "You can sit." I sat down on the other side of the couch and looked at the tv as it was on and some kind of show was on. "What did you want to talk about?"

I looked over at her as she was staring at tv then looked over at me. "About last weekend." She nods then looks back at the tv and I could feel my heart start hurting but I ignored it. "I should of never said what I said. I didn't mean it, Emma. It was a mistake and I'm so sorry." I stared at her as she was looking at the tv.

I sighed as I kept talking. "I kind of figured that I wasn't any good at this kind of stuff. I knew that somehow I would screw it all up, and I did. I always end up messing something good up in my life and it's always my fault. I didn't mean to hurt you. I regret saying what I did. I love you and I don't want us to end because of a stupid mistake that I have made."

I took a breath because everything that I said just came out really fast and I couldn't catch a breath. I stared at the ground as I didn't want to look at her because I wasn't sure if she was even listening or not.

"Dakota," Emma said and I looked over at her. "did you just say you loved me?"

I stared at her as I tried to remember what I did say. I said everything so fast that I don't even remember anything. I continued to stare at her then shrugged. "I don't even know."

She smiled then moved closer to me. "You did."

"I didn't mean to say it if it's too early for it." I said as I watched her.

She shook her head as she leaned towards me and kissed my cheek. "It's fine, Dakota." She sighs. "I'm sorry about last weekend, too. I knew you didn't mean what you said and I took it too hard." She kissed my cheek again. "I love you."

I felt my heart thump. I looked towards her. "You do?"

She smiled then nodded. "Yes." She leaned in and kissed me.
