19 - The Apology

Bethany's P.O.V

It was 3.00 in the morning and I couldn't sleep.

I couldn't help thinking about Connor.

Maybe... I really was a bit too harsh.

I'm sure he had a reason, I mean, Connor would never do that to me.

I guess I just wasn't in the right mind.

Ugh, now this is all my fault. I shouldn't have just stomped off... maybe he was right... I should let him explain.

But how am I gonna tell him I'm sorry now?

Its already too late.

He's probably super pissed at me now because I didn't hear him out.

What if... what if we stop talking to each other?

The horrible thought raced across my mind for hours.

At 6, I finally decided what I was to do.

I wasn't going to let that happen.

Never in my right mind.

I picked up my phone, and started composing a text.

Hopefully he'll forgive me.

Connor's P.O.V

It was 6 in the morning and the O2L guys and I were watching movies together ever since we finished our Chinese food.

I couldn't concentrate though, because all I kept thinking about was Beth.

I shouldn't have fought with Dan.

I mean we all know he's a bitch but I promised Beth... and I broke it.

Ding!, my phone suddenly sounded, breaking my thoughts.

Who the hell could that be at 6 in the morning?

My friends know better than to text me so early.

Oh well... since I'm up anyways.

I grabbed my phone and switched it on and much to my surprise, found a message from Beth.

My heart thumped nervously as I opened her message.

I was pretty sure she was telling me she didn't want to be friends anymore.

But her message read the opposite.

It said, 'Hey... I know you're probably pissed at me now but I've literally been up all night thinking about yesterday. Now that I think about it, it was really my fault for not hearing you out. You probably have a reason, right? You would never do that to me. I know its unlikely you are reading this message now because its 6 in the morning and you usually wake up after noon. I'm sorry for being such a asshole Connor. I should talked to you instead. If you actually are reading this message and you're not so pissed at me... can we meet at the park in 5? Sorry for the crazy request but I'll be waiting.'

My heart jumped excitedly.

She forgives me!

I jumped off the living room sofa, a huge smile on my face.

Ricky: "Whoa bro, why so excited? You were literally freaking sad just a few minutes ago."

Sam: "Did she text you or something?"

Connor: "I'll tell you guys later, got to run!"

I rushed to grab my coat and ran out of the house, the other guys still confused at my sudden actions.

But I couldn't care less.

I ran all the way to the park, just to make sure I reached on time.

When I arrived at the park entrance I spotted Bethany in the distance, sitting on one of the swings.

She was looking at her feet.

I straightened my clothes and walked forward calmly, pretending as if I didn't run all the way there, but it was hard because I was panting and sweating hard.

But I immediately stopped when I was in front of her.

"Beth?"

She looked up, to reveal her worried face.

But the worried expression disappeared when she saw me, and was then replaced by a snall smile.

"Connor."

I almost fainted on the spot.

Her crooked smile, the way she said my name, everything... it was just perfect about her.

"Sit down."

She said, referring to the swing next to her.

I obliged.

It was then followed by an arkward silence.

After a while, she finally spoke up.

"Connor... I... I'm so sorr-"

I cut her off.

C: "No. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have fought with him, I even promised you... it was all my fault, Beth. Don't be sorry."

She looked down at her shuffling feet.

"Why did you fight with him?", she asked quietly.

I sighed.

"It was two years ago... I had a girl I was deeply in love. Everything was perfect between us until Dan came along. He was a new student at the school and at first he was shy and quiet. Then I got to know him and he starting to hang around that girl a lot. Soon they were dating and it really broke my heart..."

Tears were falling from my eyes by the time I finished my story.

Beth looked at me.

"I'm so sorry Con... Forgive me... please?"

I nodded.

She embraced me into a big hug, whispering into my ear, "Its okay, you got me now."

∆ Hey guys! Its me!

New chapter woohoo!

But OMG today is a performance at my school and I'm performing a SOLO!

And its my birthday eve today (tmr is my bday).
