Kina

Sat at the exact table Harry and I ate at last time, I wait for him to arrive as I text Finn.

Finn: We should go to the beach tomorrow. Ask Harry if he wants to come and I'll see if Johnathan and my brother are down. Xx

Kina: Sounds like a great idea. I'll let you know what Harry says x

I place my phone down when a body sits across from me, I expect to see Harry but instead it's Archie.

I raise an eyebrow. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah actually.." he trails off. Sounding like a scolded child as he avoids eye contact and plays around with a salt shaker on the table. "I need to speak to you."

"Now isn't the time, Archie." I try to sound nice but it's hard to with someone who said such nasty things to me during our fight.

He stops fiddling and looks up at me with hurt eyes. He chews on his bottom lip and I watch as his knee starts to bounce up and down.

Here comes the water works.

"But..I miss you, Kina." He whines, tears welling up in his eyes and I almost give in. I know he's hurting and I miss him too but I can't just forgive him for what he said and did to me. He's only come back to cry to me because I wasn't all that bothered that he didn't make the time for our friendship.

"Please Kina..." he moves closer by sitting in the spare seat next to mine. I lean away at his close proximity and look around to see if anyone at the restaurant is seeing Archie, a full grown man, crying. I shyly smile in embarrassment when I notice two older women staring.

The moment I feel a hand grasp onto mine, I snap my eyes over to Archie to find him pleading, holding my hand to his chest as he tries to convince me to forgive him.

"I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry for everything that I did, Kina. I want my best friend back," he sobs now and I try not to grimace. "Please..everything I said I take back. I never meant those things. I don't care that you're friends..or whatever it is with Harry. I just want you in my life again and I promise to make the effort just like you did with me. I was so selfish towards you and you didn't deserve that-"

"Archie." I say sternly as he's starting to work himself up. I could tell by his breathing patterns and the stressed look on his face. I remove my hand from his and he slouches at that, but I leave him slightly surprised when I rub his arm in a comforting manner. "Take a few breaths, okay?"

"Okay," he hiccups and does as he is told. When he exhales deeply, he wipes at his eyes and looks up at me with pure guilt and sadness. I feel my heart drop to my stomach. "I'm sorry...." He whispers quietly.
