TAL & ADI FISHMAN, MY BULLIES

19.

It has been a week since Tal asked me to run away with him, and I still haven't decided. I honestly don't know what to do. I wish I could call my best friend Shani...but she's gone, for always. Except her, I never really had friends. Probably because of Tal and Adi. I never had anyone that cared about me, mpst of the time not even my parents. They go on so many trips, that they are never home. I see them, what, like once a month? But that's OK, I love being alone, since im used to it.

I really wish I had a friend right now, who could tell me what to do and how to do it. Now I need to do it by myself, and that is one of the hardest things I have ever needed to do.

What should I do? I keep repeating those words in my head, but I receive no answer from my brain.

I jump up when I hear the door bell. I go downstairs and open the door, and I see...

Adi.

He walks into my house without waiting for an approval, and sits on the couch. 'Come in' I say with sarcasm.

'Look' He stands up. 'I know about everything, and I know you know about the whole not-for-me-not-for-you Tal and I had'. He sits down again and puts his hand next to him on the couch, making me notice he wants me to sit down next to him. Instead, I sit infront of him, on a safe distance. 'I am sorry, very sorry. I was jealous...because I know that he is way more good looking, smarter, and all that...He is better for you than me, and I saw that. But still...I wanted you. I didn't want him getting closer to you just so you didn't have to choose between us two, knowing that you would choose for him. What I did was wrong, very wrong. Is there any way you will be able to forgive me? Maybe not now but...one day. I just realised what I did and how much pain that gave you. It was stupid of me hurting my crush just so my brother wouldn't come closer to you' He finishes and I just sit there, looking at him with tears going from my eyes to my cheeks, ending on my hands.

'Yes Adi, I forgive you'. So yes he hurt me alot, I didn't have and still don't have any social life and I almost killed myself, but I can't stay mad. I am not lowering myself to their level. He is a good person, him and Tal, he just wanted to protect me, but he did that the wrong way.

Adi stands up and puts his hand out. I lay my hand in his and he, without trying to hurt me, lifts me up from the couch so I stand infront of him. He hugs me, something I would've never expected. It feels...good. He is almost as tall as Tal, so he also rests his head on mine, which is a nice feeling. I separate from him after a while, but when I look outside I see Tal...with anger in his eyes.
