I'M Sorry Part 2

Lizzie had an idea but had no idea if Hope would go along with it after everything that has happened between them. But she saw no other option. She pulled her self back from the embrace Hope held her in and looked at the girl in her eyes. "Hope I know we aren't friends and you have no reason to this for me but can you fake date me please." Lizzie Pleaded

Hope watched the girl for a minute or two before deciding to say anything. When she gathered all her thought and conditions, she finally responded. "yes" Lizzie got all excited when Hope continued to speak. "I will do this for you, but we're not friends at school we can hold hands and kiss or whatever. But as soon as the clock hits two o'clock, it's done. Also, you need to pick me up every Wednesday to go to therapy because you know."

Lizzie nodded her head and agreed to all the terms. She was going to give Hope another Hug, but she didn't want the other girl to change her mind. So she said "thank you" and left Hope in her room all alone again.

As soon as the door the closed she fell back on her bed knowing that this was going to get bad fast. But something inside her pleaded to help her old friend no matter how much she hurt her.

***

Hope was getting ready to start her first day of senior year and after what happened over the summer break. Her mother made sure to continually ask if she was okay and if there was anything she needed. To the point where she felt trapped and felt like she had to lie so that her parents wouldn't have to fight so much. They mostly fight about Hope and whose fault it is that she did what she did.

She got all dressed up and was ready for the day. She's scared that everyone knew about what happened. But decided to cross that bridge when she got to it, and she had a backup plan. She made her way downstairs to here, no yelling from anyone. She walked into the kitchen to see her parents whispering, and this was odd for them to do.

Hope was perplexed what was going on when she spotted a suitcase on the ground next to a big duffel bag. She already knew what was happening. She was so mad but not at her parents at herself she caused them to separate, and that's the only thing she thought about. She turned around and walked out of the door while her parents tried to chase after her.

She got to the front of their house when her dad ran in front of her trying to say something but Hope wouldn't have it. She saw a car pull up in front of the house and it was Lizzie. She didn't ask any question at that moment. She opened the front door and said "drive."

Her parents watched as the car drove away and Hope couldn't even look at them as they pulled away.

After a couple of minutes, Lizzie said: "what happened with your parents."

"were not friends remember and why did you come to my house it's not even Wednesday." Hope said with a harsh attitude

Lizzie knew she was right but didn't mean she couldn't be there for her. The way Hope always has been there for her. She said "but I was, and I could tell something was wrong. if we are going to do this whole fake dating thing wouldn't it be smart for me to pick you up in the morning."

"my dad's leaving us, I mean my mom and me. I saw luggage and a suitcase on the kitchen floor" Hope said with more sadness then she wanted too.

No one said anything the rest of the car ride to school. Lizzie knew her parents always fought but never thought that her dad would leave Hope. He loves her so much, and she is the reason her parent's marriage lasted so long.

She parked the car and looked at the shorter girl and said: "are you sure you want to do this."

Hope nodded, knowing that she wasn't entirely doing this for Lizzie. She was doing this for herself too. She wanted to give people a new reason to say her name instead of being that girl with the two scars.

They got out of the car, and the Blonde grabbed the shorter girl hand, and it caught her by surprise. But she warmed up to it and grabbed the hand back as they walked into the school. Everyone watched them as they walked down the hallway. No one said anything to them until a jock Rafael ran up to them with a slushie in the intent of throwing it on Lizzie. A mystery leg got put out, and he tripped and spilled it on himself. He looked up and saw the two girls in front of him; they didn't say anything they didn't have too. They walked over him and stood next to MG the only boy in the school that wasn't an asshole.

Lizzie punched him in the arm and said: "thank you for that."

He smiled back at her and said "for what" and walked away, shrugging his shoulders.

Rafael got up and wiped the slushie off his jersey and looked down. It looked like he peed himself. Everyone started laughing at him and began to take pictures. He swore that he would ruin Lizzie's reputation no matter what he had to do.
