Chapter 19: Forgive Her Pt. 2 Audie really made me upset. But Nolan is right, I should forgive Audie. Maybe that would bring our friendship back together. Hopefully, everything will be normal again, and there will be peace. Well, between me and Audie. Nothing is going to change between me and my bullies. That WILL stay the same. I just wish that there would be peace between me and them, too. But unfortunately, I’m afraid that dream of mine will never come true. ••• It was Sunday night, and I was feeling- kinda nervous. I don’t know how I will be able to go up to Audie and say, "Hey, we are friends again, period. I forgive you." I don’t really know how to make an apologetic statement. But I have to try. Audie tried making peace with me, but I didn’t want it. Now I have to try and make peace with her, and hopefully she will agree to be friends again. After all, she is my ONE and ONLY friend, and I have to keep it. I don’t even know what I would do without her. I certainly wouldn’t be filled with be happiness, nor joy. It was finally Monday, and it was time for me to apologize to Audie and forgive her. It was time to make my move. I saw Audie walking through the halls. As soon as she saw me, she began walking faster, almost running. She wasn’t looking anywhere in my direction, she was just looking down at her feet, her hair covering her face. I could still see her sad eyes and frown. At that I started to feel sad. I had to go forgive her or this friendship of ours will never be restored. I have to fix my mistakes, but I have to get to Audie first in order to fix my mistakes. ••• Later at lunch, I saw that Audie was sitting alone. She looked depressed from her facial expression and her body language. I was determined to be her friend again, so I did what I had to do: Sit next to Audie and forgive her. I went to the lunch table she was sitting at, sat down, and there was an awkward silence. She didn’t even look back to see who was sitting next to her. But perhaps she already new. "Audie," I said nervously. No response. "Look, Audie, i’m really sorry, and I forgive you." No response. I started to feel really guilty, and I felt the tears of sadness and despair forming into my eyes. I felt embarrassed of crying, so I quietly got up from the bench with my things, and went to the bathroom to let my sadness out. I new something would go wrong. She doesn’t want to be my friend anymore, so I will just have to accept the consequences from it… Good bye, my fellow friend. Our times were fun, but this may just be the end. It’s sad to say, but if you like, I’ll go away. I’d like to be your friend again, but sadly this is the end. So long and goodbye, the best of luck, -Isabel
