Chapter 14 Sorry

Twisters POV

I felt around for my phone not bothering to open my eyes. Finally I found my ringing phone.

"…Hello?" I sleepily answered.

"Uh, hey Twister." A girl replied from the other end.

"Melissa?" I asked trying to open my heavy eyes. "What…What time is it?"

Melissa laughed slightly, "It's 9:00A.M."

"Oh…" I replied finally opening my eyes to the brightness shining through my window.

"Um…" Melissa started nervously, "Are - are your parents home?"

"No, is something wrong?" I asked thinking of the worst.

"No!" She answered quickly, "No, just someone wants to talk to you."

Someone wanted to talk to me? Who? Oh man, hopefully not her parents… But I doubted it was them. "Ok…Who?" I asked.

"I can't tell you. Just that they'll be there in a few minutes." Melissa replied. "Ok I have to go, call me later?"

"Of course." I replied.

"Bye Twist."

"Bye Melissa." I said hanging up the phone. Who would want to talk to me that would have Melissa call to make sure my parents weren't home?

I got up and straightened up for my mystery person. I just could not figure it out and it was killing me. I didn't really know any of Melissa's friends except the ones I had met at the beach and Emily - Melissa's best friend.

I went downstairs noticing how quiet it was with just me around. I sat down on the couch to watch TV and wait for the mystery person. As much I was dying to know who it was in the back of my head I was thinking how good it would feel if Lars would tackle me right now. It still hadn't hit me he was never coming home again.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door, I hopped up and went to the door the suspense killing me.

My mouth dropped open when I opened the door, I quickly shut my mouth and my eyes iced over. Inside I felt my heart drop, although I wasn't going to show it, not now.

"Uh…Hey bro…." Lars said trying to grin, his eyes filled with guilt.

"I thought you didn't wanna see me? I thought I had to many problems!" I replied coldly.

"Can…Can I come in Twister?" Lars asked as if he had never lived here.

I stood there for a minute then moved back holding the door open. Lars walked in and went into the living room sitting in his favorite chair. I followed watching his every move and sat across the room from him.

"I…I…" Lars said hesitantly looking around then down at his shoes. Lars looked up at me with empty eyes and I glared back at him.

"No, I don't hate you, don't wanna fight you. Know I'll always love you, but right now I just don't like you. Cause you took this too far." I said.

"I'm sorry." Lars said getting up and walking out. I was shocked he gave up that easy, I slowly got up and followed.

Lars was sitting on the bench outside playing with a knife, when I stepped out he quickly put the knife back in his pocket and looked to the ground.

"No Lars….I - I - I'm s-sorry…." I said leaning against the house.

Lars sighed, "Your just my little bro, I want the best for you. I don't want you to have to go through this. And when you told me you never wanted to see me again I figured you'd be better off without me around." He replied not looking up once.

Suddenly I felt very guilty, I should have never said those things to Lars. It was wrong of me to say that when I didn't mean it. Lars looked up and kinda nodded then looked back down.

"No I mean it Lars, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said those things." I said quickly. It became silent again. "Forgive me - bro?" I asked unsure if I wanted to hear the answer.

Lars looked at me again, I held my breath dreading the answer. Then Lars smiled, "Yeah, come here." He said. I went over and sat next to him on the bench. "You're my little bro, of course I forgive you. What kinda heartless fool do you think I am?" Lars said putting an arm around me then switching into a head lock.

"Ok! Ok!" I said struggling to free myself. Lars let go and we just sat there. After a few minutes I broke the silence. "Reg is out of the hospital."

"You think she'll forgive me?" Lars asked.

"I never told her you were gone." I replied.

"Oh…." Lars said quietly. "But do you think she'll forgive me?"

I looked at Lars like he was insane, "What are you talking about? I just told you she doesn't know you were ever gone."

"No." Lars said. He took a deep breath, "For that happening to her, if I hadn't let her drink…If I hadn't took her to that club, if I had just got her out of there….."

"Dude its not your fault. Reggie never said anything about it even, of course she'll forgive you." I said surprised at that. I noticed again out of the corner of my eye the cut on Lars wrist. "What happened?" I said more than asked.

Lars quickly pulled his sleeve back down. "Nothing, its nothing." It was silent again. "So Reggie's home?"

"Yeah, Noelani is out shopping probably, Ray's at the shack, and who knows where Otto is. But Reg is home." I replied.

"Ok, thanks bro." Lars said then got up walking down the driveway.

---------Reggie's POV-------

"There is NOTHING on TV…." I groaned sitting on the couch still in my pajama's. Everyone was gone, even Otto. And I was stuck home because Ray didn't think I was well enough to go anywhere unless Otto drove and I was sitting down, even then he kept cautioning us about the heat. Besides…There was no way I was getting in the car with Otto.

There was a knock on the door and I groaned as I got up to answer it, I had no idea who it was. I mean Sam and Twister just let themselves inside without knocking anymore.

I gasped alittle to find Lars standing there with his head down, then a smile crossed my face. "Hey Lars." I said opening the door more.

"Hey…" Lars replied but didn't move to come inside.

"…You wanna come in?" I asked feeling uncomfortable knowing something was wrong with Lars.

Lars looked up and looked me over, "You shouldn't be up." He said walking in.

"I'm fine, it was just alittle bump." I said walking back to the couch. Lars just leaned against the wall. "…Is…Is there something wrong?" I asked not sure if I wanted to hear the answer.

Lars looked me in the eye then looked down, "I'm sorry Regina." He replied slowly.

"S-s-sorry for what?" I asked confused and afraid of the answer.

Lars sighed and sat next to me putting his face in his hands. "For everything." He mumbled then looked up looking at me again. "That I let that happen to you, I was stupid about everything."

"Lars…It's not your faul-" I started.

"I ran off after you went into the hospital. I thought everyone would be better off without me around… Then Twister came looking for me.. And I blew him off…" Lars said taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry Reg, I really am. I just don't know what to do…"

"Lars," I said firmly. "This isn't your fault, it could have happened to anyone." Lars slowly pulled up his sleeve revealing his bandaged wrist. I stopped and gasped.

"I'm sorry…" Lars whispered.

I sat there stunned, water filling my eyes, Lars just stared at the ground. I slowly reached out taking his hand and looking his wrist over then looked back up at Lars face. Suddenly I found myself hugging him and crying. Lars held me tight, gently rubbing my back.

After a few minutes I looked up at Lars face, I reached up and wiped away his tears. "It's ok…" I said shakily. I laid my head down against his chest and listened to his heart beat.

Lars gently lifted my face, up toward his, "But I…." He said.

I sat up again, "Lars Rodriguez, I love you. It scares me to think you would ever do such a thing. I would never turn you away, if you ever wanna talk…"

Lars slowly leaned in and kissed me, "I love you Regina Rocket….." Lars whispered in my ear.
