The broken ones

Forgive me ?

❀

Bea would sneak back home every morning once her mother leaves to work. She tries her best to make it look like she's leaving for school but when her mother leaves the house, she'd walk back home, and enter from her bedroom window.

Her younger siblings would be dropped off to daycare while her other two siblings went off to school. So basically she got the whole house to herself.

* Knock knock * Knock knock *

Bea peaks through the living room window to see who the visitor was. She was scared that she'll get caught, and will probably be grounded for her entire life. But it wasn't her parents nor her younger siblings outside the front door... it was Jody.

Bea hesitated to answer it. She wasn't ready to face her best friend who left her with a guy who sexually assaults girls. But either way, she can't stay mad at Jody. She must have her reasons right ?

She opens the front door and Jody stands there, unable to say anything at first.

" If you have nothing to say then you can leave... " Bea tells her. But before she could close the door, Jody reaches her hand out to leave it open.

" I heard what happened but hear me out first Bea... please..." she begs.

" Then What is it ? Tell me why you left me. " Bea sounded hurt. It was obvious that she is. She trusted Jody with all her heart and she can't believe that Jody was capable of hurting her and leaving her that way.

" I didn't know Carl's true intentions. He told me that he wanted to get to know you more. But I didn't know he'd do that to you Bea.. I'm really sorry. I'm such a piece of crap for leaving you. Please just please forgive me. " Jody had her hands together, and tears formed in her eyes.

Bea can't help but feel sorry. Jody's reasons were understandable. It's not like she knew what Carl was going to do... right ? It was unexpected for all of them. Everyone wasn't aware that Carl was capable of doing "bad" things. But what kept Bea from forgiving her best friend was the anger and pain that built up within her.

" Please Bea ? I'd do anything for you just... please forgive me. " Jody begs again.

Bea sighs out loud. No matter what, Jody is still her best friend and she understands that people make mistakes all the time. " Fine yeah... I forgive you. " She tells her. By this response, Jody jumps with her arms wide open and gives Bea an embrace.

" Thank you... please don't be mad. " Jody says as she pulls away from the hug and places her hands on Bea's shoulder. " I love you... as a best friend of course. " Jody smirks.

" I love you too Jody... just don't do that again." Bea pulls her back into a hug and Jody comforts her as she burst into tears. Bea held in her emotions the entire week because she thought she was able to hold it in. But after making up with Jody, she could finally let go of the anger she felt towards her.

During the past few days, Neil was too focus on his own world revolving around Rj. They've been texting each other most of the time but Neil was still unsure when they'll be able to see each other again.

Rj mentioned that he's been hiding away from Angel and her gang so Neil doesn't want to risk it. But a part of him wants to know if he'll be fine...

Rj: I want to see you :(

Neil: Same here but Im not risking your life so you could meet me. Where are you hiding ?

Rj: At my friends house. I moved out from my apartment since they know where I lived. Can we meet up ?
