Thursday (same time as the last chapter)
Today was Thursday, and I have been delaying doing something very important. I am apologizing to Naomi. I was fucking stupid I know I do not need another lecture. I mean, Naomi is like my sister, yet I dared to do that. Dickhead move Lucifer.
I went to the store and got her some of her favorite flowers along with some gummy worms hoping it would make the chances of her forgiving me higher. I knew she would be home today because she had a test tomorrow and needed to study. Another reason I got some gummy worms because she stress eats.
I pulled up to her house, saying a silent prayer that she doesn't kill me before getting out of the car. It was around eight o'clock I knocked on her door. After almost two minutes of standing in front of the door, it opened. Naomi stood there with glasses almost falling off the bridge of her nose in sweatpants and a sweatshirt.
Once she realized it was me, her first reaction was to close the door. However, I caught the door with my foot before she could close it entirely. Naomi looked at me, rolled her eyes, and stepped out of the way, letting me through the door.
It was tense; there was no denying it. I fully believe if Naomi wanted, she could kill me right now, full of hate with it too. I'm not going to deny that I fucking deserve it. I do a lot. She sat down at the dining room table, and I sat in front of her. I think she was expecting me to speak from the look she was giving me.
"Okay, hear me out. Please?" I said to her. Naomi only offered me a nod in response. I took one last deep breath before continuing.
"I'm sorry. Even after you said it was okay for Rebecca to be around, I should have left her alone because of what she did in the past. I didn't defend you when I should, and I can now so the error to my ways. I fucked up beyond words. I hope you can forgive me," I said, ending my speech, letting out a breath I was holding in. Naomi's expression still hadn't changed, and I was starting to get nervous.
"Next time, you should do this probably immediately after you fuck up. Also, work on your apologies, maybe add some waterworks. This time was okay since you are new to this whole admitting when your wrong thing," Naomi said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes before giving her the flowers and gummy worms. Her eyes lit up at that, jumping out of her seat and taking the items away from me, and practically stuffing her face.
"Okay, that made it better," Naomi said, although her voice was muffled by the mouthful of candy she had. I chuckled before getting up and going around the table. I pull Naomi into a hug, something I only reserve for specific people.
Naomi puts her arms around my waist since she only reaches the middle of my chest. I can't believe I did this shit to her. I was so caught up in my personal motive that I overlooked that I was hurting people I cared about in the process.
"I forgive you, Lucifer," She said, her voice coming out in a small whisper. I believed that she forgave me. However, I didn't deserve her remorse. This shit has been going on throughout high school. It may not seem like a big deal, but over time I can tell it hurt Naomi. I was too big of an asshole to see it.
