Forgotten

Chapter 3

(Faith pov) 

April-3rd-2018
Faith's apartment📍

Faith's thoughts: "Let's get this day over with." I sigh

I get myself ready doing my morning routine, taking 10 minutes to decide what I'm going to wear. I prepare myself a smoothie finally ready to head out.

Faith's thoughts: "I can't forget my hat."

As I open the apartment door ready for the day ahead of me Ariana is standing right there.

Faith's thoughts: "You gotta be kidding me." 

I immediately closed the door on her.

Ariana: "Hey Faith?"

I panic, not sure what to do. I didn't think she'd come back, not after everything I told her.

Faith's thoughts: "She's right outside the door you can't just leave her out there, okay I'm going to let her in & tell her what I think."

I open the door again & let her in.

Ariana: "Hey again." She nervously says.

Faith: "Do you always annoy people like this?"

Ariana: "Do you really think I'm annoying you?"

I sigh & put my stuff down.

Faith: "Why do you show up after all these years? It doesn't make any sense to me."

Ariana: "If I'm being honest I'm not sure, but I'm here now that has to count for something."

Faith's thoughts: "Does it really?"

Faith: "It's hard to believe that…I just can't comprehend out of all these years it had to be now." It's just frustrating that I don't get her.

Ariana: "Just give me a chance, I'll make it right again, I promise that I'm never going to leave you again."

I chuckle nervously hearing her talk.

Faith: "I want to trust you I really do, but how do I know you won't just break it." 

I want to believe her, put my emotions aside just for her. I told myself not to have these feelings for her but with her here again it's hard not to.

Ariana: "You can trust me, I swear we can go back to my house & work things out to get those years we lost."

Faith's thoughts: "We can't ever get those years back."

Faith: "We can't get those years back Ari, no matter what we try, I tried years ago that didn't work, did it…forget it I'm late for work." I grab my stuff & head out.

I'm avoiding what's in front of me afraid of what will happen, it's not that I don't want her back. It's the fact that she is back & I don't know what to do.

Ariana: "What is it, what will make you trust me again, just tell me, please I'll do it you want me to drop everything cause I'll do it." She follows me to the elevator.

Faith: "What no I can't ask you to do that, & I don't know okay, I'm still trying to grasp everything."

She cares & I can see that, she even wants to drop everything just for me & I can't ask her to do that. I wish she would've done this earlier. It would've been different.

Ariana: "I'm trying Faith. What else am I supposed to do?"

I sit down on the floor.

Faith: "I don't know alright it's not like I wanted any of this."
