I'm sorry

Amelia Forbes

I deliberately sipped my hot cocoa slowly, as I watched Dani say hi to Adrian briefly and walk into the kitchen toward me.

She pulled up a chair and lowered herself onto it, watching me with hawk eyes.

"What's going on?" Her tone was crisp.

"What do you mean?" I cocked an eyebrow.

She rolled her eyes. "So pretty boy gets into an accident and all of a sudden you move in with him?"

The anger that flashed within me knew no bounds as I raised her eyes to meet hers.

"It was an attempted suicide," I said quietly.

Her hand froze halfway to her lips. "What?" She managed to croak. "I...I had no idea that-"

"No you didn't," I snapped.

She hung her head but didn't say anything more.

"And if Nana was still home, I probably wouldn't be living here now. So please don't play that card."

"I'm sorry," She managed.

I shrugged, eyeing her curiously.

"And what about you?" I asked innocently. "Is there anything you wanna tell me?"
