"Look, I Never meant to cause you pain, but if I did. I take the blame and I'm sorry. But I need to make it clear, it wasn't because I didn't care or we didn't care. It was because I was scared that I would get my feelings hurt because you weren't going to feel the same way I did about you. That was why we were talking in the first place. I told them how I felt about you and my fears. Ava, I like you. A lot. And if my being scared about that made this whole situation turn sour. I'm taking responsibility and the blame for it. I'm sorry." Maddie said as she walked over to where Ava stood frozen to that exact spot. Ava's mind was in a million dimensions at that time. This was absolutely crazyyyyy! The shock on her face had replaced the initial look of anger and disgust.
