Chapter 4:
Miley's POV Continued:
As I was making my way downstairs I heard a faint crying, I instantly figured it out who it was as she was the only other person in the house. I walked towards Alex and sat down two seats away from her, she didn't look up. I didn't know what to do so I sat next to her. "What's wrong?" I asked her in a sympathetic way. She didn't reply. She seemed like she was in a blank state of mind, I couldn't think of things to say so I just sat there, fiddling with my thumbs
... "I'm so sorry" those were the words that she managed to get out of her, I hated those words because they because so… meaningless. She stopped sobbing and slowly looked at me, her head was slightly down, it seemed to me as though she was genuinely sorry but I wasn't going to believe her that easily. She breathed in deeply, bringing herself to finally look at me properly; I sat back a little and looked back at her whilst she fiddled with her thumbs.
Alex's POV:
I couldn't find the right words to say, I keep saying sorry to her but I think she knows that I don't mean them apologies, I felt like I didn't deserve her. It slowly dawned on me that she had asked me what's wrong; I didn't know how to answer that so I figured I'd just stay silent. She got up and headed towards the kitchen, I felt completely and utterly useless. I let out a deep sigh and went to Miley after a few minutes, she didn't see me walk in though.
"I… I know you're getting sick of the word sorry but I don't know what else to say". She turned around after I had said that, "I also know that I treat you like utter crap and you still haven't left me, and that I'm grateful for. I honestly don't know what comes over me when I hurt you and every time I hurt you I regret it so much, I don't like seeing you upset…" I walk towards her slowly, grabbing her hands and holding them in mine softly "I hope you can forgive me 'cause to be honest I don't want to lose you, if I do I wouldn't be able to… uh" I let out another deep sigh whilst stifling my sobs, I had lost my train of thought. I kept her hands in mine but looked down as I couldn't face the fact that she may not ever forgive me, but I understood that, I mean… I wouldn't even forgive me.
Miley's POV:
I listened to her small speech, this time it seemed genuine but I didn't want to forgive her straight away as I wasn't over what she had done to me, why she had hurt me over and over again. I sighed softly as I looked at her, keeping a hold of her hands. "I don't know what to say, honestly, I mean you've hurt me so many times and I've never had the courage to tell you to stop because I knew you'd just hurt me again. But I tell you what I've decided… I've decided that I'll give you another chance, as foolish as that is of me, I feel as though that apology was genuine". I pulled her in for a hug and heard her whisper a thank you in my ear; I smiled softly for the first time in ages. I brought my hands to her cheeks as I looked into her eyes "show me that this is real, that you're not going to hurt me again and I think we'll be okay". She sniffled and looked at me, nodding "no more hurting you" she said. I pulled her back into a hug and continued to smile, keeping her in my arms.
Alex's POV:
'This is it, my final chance. I'm not going to mess this up.' I thought to myself. I was so happy to hear that, shocked because she had given me another chance. I stayed in her arms as I closed my eyes, I whispered in her ear "I love you so much", she replied "I love you too" and at that moment in time I felt content and safe as well as happy.
