Thanks be to EBT.
I feel like shit for having Ben by my side to help me, to be my friend.
Bella has nobody.
I was her go-to. You were her love.
And she has nobody now.
I break down and tell Ben the next day when he calls.
He says sweet words, wise words.
And he's still offering those words when I see Bella on Saturday for graduation.
She sees me, falters, but keeps walking.
I wanna run after her, beg for forgiveness, tell her over and over how sorry I am.
But I don't.
Because I don't have the right.
I watch her walk in your direction, and you look immediately distraught when she doesn't acknowledge you.
You turn to glare at me.
I'm so inside my head, so overwhelmed by everything, to realize who's heading my way.
"Angie!"
