“Forgiveness.

Can you imagine?”

I stared at the message she sent me.

“I’m sorry.”

I wasn’t the one she needed to apologize to.

What about everyone else’s lives she had ruined?

I was the youngest out of them all.

Did she assume no one else wanted to even speak to her?

Why was it me she chose?

I had no choice but to accept.

What else could I do?

She hadn’t hurt me the worst.

I accepted it with a shrug.

“Its okay, Nick.”,

I replied.

Despite my message,

Resentment lingered.
