Two weeks have passed and with the help of Elijah and his parents I have finally mustered up the courage to go and apologies to Isaiah and my parents. After the upcoming week I'll be free and I plan on starting my life with Elijah. I hope they respect my decision. It will hurt me if they don't but within time, I will heal. Until then I'll be happy and live as much in the moment as I can. I won't aloud my happiness to be taken from me ever again. It's break time and I head down and see that they're all in the usual spot. They all spot me and look away when they see me, I head over and sit down.

"Before you guys leave, just listen to me." I beg and they nod.

"Isaiah I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broken you the way I did. I thought that if I dated you then I would forget the feelings I had for him. Start over and be happy with someone else. You have made me very happy Isaiah and without you I wouldn't have shone like you said I could. I sincerely mean it when I say, I hope we remain friends."

"Eloise its not ok what you did. I do forgive you. You know Mr. Jones was my father figure and I decided to put his lessons to good use. But it will take me a while to trust you again. I will gladly remain friends with you. Thank you for apologizing and giving me the space I asked for. I'm glad you're happy. You deserve to be." he says and then he hugs me. I return it. I then turn towards my parents.

"Mama, Papa, I-"

"No, Eloise let us apologize. You didn't deserve to be treated the way we have treated you. Your father and I are sorry for the words we said. We were just angry that the boy we picked out for you wasn't enough. We did it to make you happy and the fact that we realized we were forcing it upon you. We're sorry honey bee. We wanted to protect you." Mama says.

"We saw how heartbroken you were when Elijah stopped sending you those letters. We knew how you felt about him and for him to hurt you like that. After that you were transforming into someone we didn't recognize. You weren't the daughter we knew," Papa says as he wipes away his tears. Mama was crying as well. And I found I was to.

"It's ok, I understand you wanted what was best for me, but it hurt when you guys shunned me," I whisper.

"For that we're sorry," Mama sobs and I hug her and Papa.

"I forgive you."

Right then and there we were beginning the road to recovery.
