Chapter 9: “Please?” he begged. “You’re not going to give up are you?” I sighed. “Nope” he said. “You’re just the same, ignorant” I giggled. He let go of my arm, and gave me a deadly look. “I’m just kidding” I giggled. “Not funny” he said, coldly. I chuckled “What did you want to talk about?” I asked. “Not here.. somewhere else. Somewhere private” he said. I rolled my eyes “Alright” I sighed and grabbed his arm. I dragged him outside of the party and turned to him. “Now, what did you want to talk about?” I asked. “I wanted to ask why we're so ignoring me and acting so cold towards me?” he asked. “Do you really need to ask that question?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at him. “Ju, you left and never said goodbye or anything! You had me worried sick Ju! I thought you had died or had been kidnapped!” I raised my voice, and I felt my eyes get watery. The horrible memories flooded back into my mind “I cried almost every night! Do you know how worried I was?” I said. I blinked away the tears. “Sorry” he mumbled. “Sorry doesn’t change anything, Ju” I said, and looked down at my feet trying to avoid eye contact. I felt so broken, just like the past. I felt his warm arms wrap around me, sending a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t help but hug him back and I felt the tears roll down my cheek. I closed my eyes and inhaled the sweet but spicy cologne of his. “I’m so sorry, El” he whispered.

Her voice was completely broken and it was all my fault. I wanted to tell her, but I never got the chance to say goodbye. I regretted not contacting her after I moved but I will make it up to her, no matter what it takes. “I will make it up to you, I promise” I whispered. “Ju, why did you leave in the first place? Where did you go?” she asked, and released herself from my arms. “Tell me the truth... no lies” she said. “I found out that we were moving, and I was told at last minute so I was busy helping out that I forgot about everything. When we moved, I lost your contact! I couldn’t find it and I was so annoyed.. I tried and tried, but I just couldn’t contact you no longer. I thought about you, a lot. I never forgot you” I said.
