CHAPTER 43

HAZEL'S POV:

I don't know if this is a trance but how did she move from pushing me to the ground to apologizing to me?

I didn't believe her at first. I mean, she can't just come to me for an apology and expect me to accept it immediately.

But I'm scared of her. Her presence makes me nervous and after everything that happened, all I wanted to do was please her no matter what. I didn't want to offend her and I felt like not accepting her apology and forgiving her would make her angry.

She even had a dizzy spell that made me so worried and in my head, I could hear her blaming me for making her this way.

I was indebted to her no matter how mean she was to me.

"I forgive you."

The smile across her face was so wide that I thought her lip would crack. But it didn't. She pulled me into a hug and I froze.

I must be in a dream, right? I must have a dream. Because Cherry can't be hugging me. She used to hate touching me. She used to push me away from her.
