Chapter 3- Forgiving Is Hard To Do
I was feeding Bueller, my ferret, when the doorbell rang. It was probably Mom, visiting again. So I slowly walked to the door, and was shocked when I saw Sean at the door.
The first thing I thought was, why the heck is he here? , but then I realized he was sorry. Pity visit? Oh who knows why he was here? I opened the door, ready to hear whines.
"I know, it's weird to see me here. But I miss you Ellie. More than anyone in the world." he said.
"Then why did you move?" I replied.
"Ellie, they're my parents. And seeing them, it just made me realize what I was missing. And how I was so wrong. I wouldn't be here if my parents hadn't sent me here. You don't know how bad things were in Wasaga." he said.
"Maybe I don't, but I still think it was cruel of you to leave me here, alone, with my freakin drunk mother!" I said.
"I knew you'd never understand. This was a huge mistake. And, by the way, tell Jay and Alex I said hi." he said, and turned to leave.
"Wait." I said, having no idea what I was doing.
"What now Ellie?" he said
"You're right. I should understand. But I'm not gonna forgive you so easily for what you did to me." I said.
"I don't expect you to." he said.
"Come in." I said.
He followed me into the house, with all the workers in the kitchen.
"I would offer you a drink, but I wouldn't want to mess with the workers." I said.
We headed upstairs to my room. Not exactly the best place, but me and Sean needed to talk, and maybe this was the best place.
"So, what's been going on with you lately?" asked Sean.
"Nothing. Mom's in rehab and Dad's staying for a little while, to make sure things are ok." I said.
"I feel bad about your situation, but I think back then it was the best decision I could make." he said.
"Yeah…I know. I just don't want to talk about that." I said.
Bueller ran into the room and jumped into Sean's lap. I guess Bueller really missed Sean…
"Hey buddy." said Sean, petting Bueller.
"I guess he really missed you." I said
"Yeah…I guess so." he said.
"I don't know Sean…about anything. How I feel and how this is all gonna work out. I really don't know if I can really forgive you." I said.
"Take your time, then. No one said you were in a rush. Well, I got to go. Mom's waiting."
I followed him to the car.
"Hey, thanks for coming." I said.
"Call me later." said Sean, out the car window. Slowly the car faded away…
