I'm sorry. 
I had a tough day at work and a lot on my mind and ended up taking it all out on you, and that wasn't fair of me. I know I should have apologised sooner but I felt awkward every time I opened up the chat to do it.
I got so wound up about all of this that I even went off on Sebastian too even though I know he was just trying to help. I've already apologised to him, but I owe you a massive apology for the way I treated you.
I'm so sorry, Chris.
I'll make it up to you however I can, just tell me what to do.

I don't care that you were in a bad mood and wasn't the most polite conversationalist. We grew up together, I've seen you during all the teenage mood-swings and PTSD-induced irritation/anger episodes. I don't care about any of that, because I know who you truly are. As for taking it out on the wrong person - I'm not immune to wrongly taking my bad moods out on undeserving people too. 
What I care about is you avoiding me even when I put myself out there multiple times. That's not us. We don't avoid each other when we hit a bump in our friendship. 
I felt like crap when you avoided me again and again. I just wanted to know why. What had I done? Why didn't you want to talk to me anymore?
Do you know how much it hurts to be tossed to the side by the one person in your life that has never turned you away before? No, because I have never - would never - do that to you.
I waited up for you that day Scott dropped off Aslan with me, waited well into the early hours for you to come pick him up. I was so sure that you'd try and sneak off without telling me so I stayed up, bided my time and thought about everything I wanted to say to you about how it didn't matter that you were a bit snappy, that you were still my best friend, that I still wanted you in my life.
But you never came.
I fell asleep on the couch waiting for you and Scott woke me up coming in the next morning to pick Aslan up for you.
I felt so stupid.
I waited there for hours even though I knew by 11pm you weren't coming. 
I hoped, and only let myself down in the end for being such an idiot to think you'd actually turn up.

I know.
                          
Shortie 🎖:
I'll say it as many time as you need to hear it.
Please, tell me how I can make it up to you.
Anything.

I don't know.
