Chapter 5.

Conner looked at me, then at the door. Conner’s hands dropped off of my waist and he started walking towards the door. His fists were clenched tightly, which wasn’t a good sign. “Conner, don’t. I can handle it.” I said looking at him pleadingly. He glanced over at me and went back to the kitchen. I brushed my hands across my shirt to clean up a bit. Then, opened the door. Landon was standing there in what looked like his pajamas. “Yeah, hey… sorry about my appearance and everything but, from what I’ve heard, I think we need to talk.” He said staring at me. “I think so, too. Come in.” I said stepping aside and letting him in. I closed the door behind him. I lead him to the couch and we sat down. I probably looked a complete wreck, but I really didn’t care at the moment. “About last night…” He started looking towards the kitchen. “Do you even know what happened?” I lifted up my arm, so he could see the bruise he had left. He grimaced. “D-Did I really do that?” His bright green eyes were wide and his lips were trembling. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry. I had no idea I did that. Please, forgive me. I will do anything… I shouldn‘t have drank any alcohol last night. I feel so terrible…” He was talking so fast, I could barely make out the words he was saying. I almost started to cry, but I tried my hardest to keep the tears back. “I don’t know what to say…” I started when I saw Conner walk into the room and sit on the loveseat in front of us. “Conner, this was a total misunderstanding. I don’t know what happened last night at all. I was so drunk. I threw up this morning and still have a headache. I just want to forget this all happened.” Landon looked so worried. I couldn’t believe any of it happened last night. The bruise on my arm was throbbing. I put my left hand over it so it was completely covered. Conner and Landon both looked at where I placed my hand. “I just hope you know, if anything like this EVER happens again, things will happen. And, none of us want that to happen.” Conner said. “But, for now you are forgiven… by me at least.” Conner said looking at Landon, then back to me. “I forgive you.” I said standing up. “Thank you so much! I will not let any of this happen again. Trust me.” Landon said starting to hug me. I put my arms around his neck. We let go in about 4 seconds. Landon and Conner shook hands. They said something to each other I couldn’t understand. Then, Landon left. Conner walked back over to me and held my hands in front of him. A tear rolled down my face. I clenched my eyes shut. He put his arms around my waist and held me tightly. “Promise me we’ll always be close.” He said. “I promise.” I replied back.
