I'm Sorry

Lunch wasn't that better either. Caden sat at the table, but wouldn't talk me. He wouldn't even look at me! That really hurt me. I was at home laying in my bed texting Elizabeth about my day and listening to hers when I saw I had an u read message. It was from Caden.

"Jazz.. I miss u..."

That text made me smile. Then I realized that text was from last month... my phone had kept acting up and resending text. I wanted to cry again, but I heard my name being called to do my chores. I hate my chores.

After I finally finished doing my chores I had a few hours to kill before cerfew. I got an idea, but had to re-enlist some help.

"Lilly meet me at the park 4:00 exactly!"

"K."

It was a short text conversation, but it worked. After texting Lil I texted Caden.

"Hey Cade (his nickname)"

"Hey Jasmine"

This didn't seem like it would end well, but I had to try.

"Can you please meet me at the park at 4.. pls? I swear you won't regret it.. trust me, I won't hurt you."

"I guess"

Now all I have to do is get there and set up. I got a purple banner and drew a fish in every corner. Then on the banner I wrote "Cade: your awesome, artistic, cute and sweet... I never meant to hurt you and I promise if you forgive me I'll NEVER do it again ~Love Jazz"

"Caden! Come here!"

Elizabeth shouted from across the park to get his attention for me.

"What is going on- oh. my. god. Elizabeth where did this come from?"

I walked out holding a single rose and looked Caden in the eyes.

"Caden your my best friend and I really never meant to hurt you. I never even knew how you felt, but now I do. Please accept this rose and say you'll forgive me?"

"Wow. You did all this!?"

"Well I had Elizabeth's help, but yeah. I had to!"

"Why did you have to?"

"Because.. I couldn't lose you."

"You're awesome you know that!?"

"Not lately I haven't, but thanks Cade."

"Hey Jazz?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you"

"I love you too!"

"No I mean... will you go out with me? Go to the dance with me? And be my girlfriend? I promise you won't regret it..."

"Yes, yes and yes!"

"Really!?"

"Yeah!"

He picked me up and spun me around. I was so happy! Not only did I get my best friend back, I got Cade too! This night couldn't have gotten any better!
