Elements: Four Me (Book 4)

Apologize (Chapter 17)

Owen glances over and sees Urana, but quickly turns away his gaze. He couldn't face the person who he it seem that he deemed as 'not as important' and 'horrible.'

"Owen..." Urana starts. "I have something to say..."

She takes a deep breath, composing herself and gathering her thoughts. Irene just threw her in without any plan and that might just be what the two of them need.

No plans.

Just straight from the heart.

"I know it's too late to say this but I'm sorry. You weren't the only one who said something bad, I did too. I called you things I never even thought of but like you said, it just came out," Urana finds it strange that she didn't have much time to think about what she's saying.

"And I know it's been a while since we argued like this but I really hate it. I don't want to hurt you Owen," Urana clutches her sweats, she tries to get eye contact with him but he wouldn't look her in the eye. "I really don't want to continue arguing like this."

Owen takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage to look Urana in the eye. He lifts his gaze from her favorite pair of sneakers to her ocean blue eyes.

"I didn't mean to make you feel inferior or make you feel that you aren't important. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry Urana and I don't want to hurt you either," Owen then loses his courage and drops his gaze to the sneakers again. "You aren't a terrible person, you've grown from that."

He could tell she came out here in a rush. She has her heels sticking out from the back and would never let them be like that unless she really was rushing.

It brings a small smile to Owen's face. The little things are what makes Owen know that he matters to Urana and the same goes for Urana.

Urana could tell as soon as he averted his gaze, that Owen really is ashamed of what he said and regretted it. He cared about her feelings as she did his.

"Fist bump?" Owen and Urana hold up their fists. They smile and look away before walking towards each other and their fists collide.

They stand there for a moment, smiling at each other.

"Damn right you lovebirds!" Irene calls out from the patio, the two of them turn around to see that they had drawn a crowd together.

"Irene!" Hunter jerks his head to look at her. "You just blew our cover!"

"What cover? They were gonna know we were here anyway," Scott rolls his eyes then winks to Owen and he glares back. "What? Congrats on making up."

"And making it past your lover's quarrel!" Quill calls out.

"We are not lovers!" Owen and Urana share the same annoyed look.

"Basically soulmates," Amy grins at them. "In friendship anyway."

"You guys are so cute," Red gushes.

"Not you too!" Owen and Urana sigh.

"Come along now all of you! Somehow we need to get the two hotheads to make up as well," Ku shuts down their celebration. "Because apparently, they will not make up themselves."

"I will not apologize to that fool," Sasha huffs before going back inside.

"I'm not going to either," Brenton crosses his arms.

"You're older genius, and older siblings gotta go and make things right," Red pats Brenton's back.

"But I don't want to," Brenton sticks his chin up in the air.
