Emma's point of View

My heart stopped when I saw him standing there.  I began to slam the door when his foot stopped it.

"Wait please, I only want to talk" he said sounding as if he was going to cry.

"Will me talking to you make you leave quicker?" I asked through the crack of the door.

"Yes, please only five minutes I promise" he said.

I slowly and cautiously walked out onto my porch.

His eyes were red and puffy.

"Listen Emma I am so sorry and I understand if you never forgive me for what I did to but I need you to understand  I was stupid and dumb and jealous. Girls usually just come to me and I thought you were so beautiful and when you didn't want anything to do with me I felt shitty and oh my gosh I'm so sorry I know that you left and it was because of me" he said his head going down to look at his shoes.

He began to cry.

I didn't know how to react at all.

Standing there quietly I thought about all of my family and the Gallaghers accepted me back after leaving them for nothing.

They gave me another chance and maybe I should give him one.

I thought hard. If I was in Nicks place, I would probably react similarly not as extreme but I could see why he did it.

Yes it was completely wrong but I have to give another shot.

"Okay" I said "I'll give you another chance but we will be friends and earning your trust will be hard. I forgive you" I said

He looked up eyes wide.

"Oh my gosh thank you I promise I will be a good friend" he said and he hugged me tightly.

I flinched a little, this will take some getting used to.

"Now go before Carl comes out" I said leading him off the porch.

He said thank you again and walked down the street out of sight.

Just as I went to head back inside Carl opened the door.

"Who was that babe?" he asked.

"just salesmen people trying to sell shit" I said smiling and walking inside.

"Oh... okay" he said sounding unconvinced.

I sat on the couch and he sat next to me.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked playing with his hair that was now longer.

He also seemed a little stronger like he'd been running a lot lately?

Weird.

"How about we have a movie night later with everyone at my house?" he said closing his eyes and leaning against the couch.

"Sounds great" I said smiling.

"We have time to kill so we should go for a walk or something" I said yawning.

He sat up suddenly as if he remembered something.

"What time is it" he asked eyes staring at the wall.
