Everyone at this birthday party, save for Millie, has sent me a glare or has even said a passive aggressive comment about remembering or being on time. Even Daniel who I once thought couldn't get mad at anyone.

Rosa hasn't even looked my way after we talked in the kitchen. Even when Millie has brought us together, she didn't say a single thing or look at me.

Cant say I don't deserve.

Hell I probably deserve worse. Like way worse for what I did.

"I thought that maybe I was up on the list of 'important things to Charles', clearly I was stupid to think so."

When she said that I thought my heart would finally crack into a million pieces, a pain I deserved for what I did. But then she drove the knife deeper.

When I tried to tell her she was, and she said "Then why doesn't it feel that way?". I've been in crashes, I've had some heartaches, I've felt pain. But that was all a paper cut compared to the imaginary stab wound left by those words.

I hate myself for making her feel that way. I hate that I've made her not feel like she's the most important thing to me. Because she is, God knows how much she's important to me.

But I'm just too stupid to show it. I wish I could turn back time, smack past Charles in the back of the head and tell him to refuse the drinks offer because he had somewhere more important to be. Someone more important to be there for.

I've made sure to be present with Millie, she deserves every bit of my attention on her fifth birthday. She's dragged me to the dance floor when a song from tangled comes on, a wide toothy grin spread across her small face. Her happy expression makes me smile down at her.

"Wait here!" She says before running off. I'm left confused until I hear her laughter again, I look around until I see her pulling Rosa behind her.

Her eyes find mine only to look away immediately, her smile becomes less bright.

All because she of me.

It's like a knife to the heart, it physically hurts being the reason for her sadness. I need to fix it no matter what, only I don't know how. How can one apologize for that? And how can one even forgive for that? How could she forgive me, I don't think I would.

"Can mama dance with us?" Millie ask innocently. I look down at her, picking her up in my arms when she reaches for me. I wait for Rosa to give an excuse or something, I wouldn't blame her. I look up at her and her eyes are on Millie.

I can see a million thoughts happen behind her brown eyes.

"Only is she wants to Mils" I tell her with a small smile.
