i finally got my phone back today.
god, i'm so sorry
i had no idea you were struggling.

i raced over to your house and pounded on your front door.

your parents were shocked when i ran past them and up to your room.
the door was locked, but i could here your stifled cries.

"raven, i'm here. i'm sorry."

"why did you ignore me?"

"my mother. she grounded me and took away my phone."

"oh."

"i would've told you before she took everything away, but she didn't give me the chance to tell you."

"i- i'm sorry, i didnt know-"

"hey, i should be the one who's sorry. you needed me and i wasn't here. forgive me, please?"

you open the door, and you do the unexpected
"can i kiss you?"
"yes."

-m.w.
