Fate's Chance

23

The weight of guilt was heavy as I looked at him and his pleading eyes. It was very apparent that he meant exactly what he had said and I was in complete shock. It isn't like him to apologize so.....genuinely. It was clear our a little fight did have a bad impact on him and I felt bad. I know that I'm his only friend that he can be himself around and practically like a sister to him so I was feeling super guilty for allowing my emotions to break our friendship up.

"Of course I forgive you."

He began to smile slowly at my sudden words

"Really? Just like that?"

"Look Jackson, you really hurt my feelings when you allowed that girl to disrespect me like that—"

"I know and it will never happen again"

" and I believe you so I think it's best if we act as if that never happened. Let's agree to never allow anything or anyone to come between us. Okay?"

"Absolutely, I one hundred percent agree. Should we hug it out?"

"Ew no, don't touch me"

"Oh come on. It's not officially forgiven unless we hug it out. That's what appa always says"

"Yeah your dad says a lot of things I don't agree with" I said as he stood up extending his arms before him

"But is he ever really wrong?"

"You've got a point" I quickly wrapped my arms around his torso and took my seat once again "there's your hug...weirdo"

"Was that so hard?"

"Yes actually, it took a lot out of me. Anyway I've been meaning to ask you, that pet of yours, Veronica, what's up with her?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean why is she so comfortable with popping up at your place unexpectedly. Is there something you wanna tell me?"

His eyes furrowed in confusion at my sudden confrontation. I couldn't help but wonder what his relationship was with this chick. I mean he NEVER allows his little....... friends to come to his place. He normally meets them at his condo downtown is what he's told me so I couldn't help but become curious when she showed up.

"Oh I guess you're wondering why she showed up here"

"Yeah I mean it's just not you're usual. Are you guys like....dat—"

"Absolutely not. I would never get emotionally involved with her at any point in my life. Ew! I'm gonna be sick" he said before making vomiting gestures like the big child that he is

"Then why she pop up?" I asked chuckling

"I have no idea. I honestly don't even know how she knows where I stay. I guess she followed me or something. She's pretty crazy if you haven't noticed."

"Then why do you mess around with her if she's so crazy?"

"Because she goes crazy in bed" he shrugged just saying that casually

"Great now I'm gonna be sick. Yuck"

"Hey I'm just being honest here. I like them a little crazy "

"That bitch is straight outta the mental asylum. "

He laughed "Hey she can't help it! "

I waved him off rolling my eyes

"So are you still talking to that Bieber dude?"

For some reason my heart dropped at the mention of his name. Almost immediately I began to get nervous.
