Thanks be to EBT.
I'm on the verge of having a breakdown for most of the day, but I know it has to be done.
So I finally text Bella back and say I'll be at her place around dinnertime.
I text Ben.
I know you don't owe me anything, but I'd like the chance to apologize. I never meant to hurt you. I hope you can believe that.
And then I text you.
I'm telling her tonight. I know you don't think she should know, but she does. I'm sorry.
My phone immediately rings.
And rings.
And continues to ring for the next two hours.
It takes everything in me to not pick up.
It's still ringing as I get into my car and head to Bella's, though I drive around for a long time and prepare myself for what I'm about to do.
I'm shaking as I walk to her front door, and it opens before I can knock.
"Did you get lost?" she laughs.
My words get lost in my throat, and I try not to cry.
"Angie, what's wrong?"
"Bella, I need to tell you something."
Have fun with the Super Bowl. It's a night of Fassbender movies for me. :)
As always, thank you for being amazing.
Hasta manana.
