Oliver's POV
"I thought that you erased them and forgot everything about them. That was the reason you didn't think about your safety and returned back, right. ", Jack said.
So afterall he was being sarcastic. Why, just why are they not thinking reasonably? Do they really expect me to give up on them and just save myself? How can I do then after what they are did for me.
" Listen guys, I understand that you all are very upset that I returned back but at least try to think from my perspective too. Can't you all understand how I felt when I recieved that letter? How I felt when I came back knowing what could happen to me? You all are the only ones I can rely on but what will happen to me if you keep on scolding me instead of comforting and encouraging me? ", I said and a single tear fell from my left eye, while tears were filled in my right eye, threatening to fall at any moment.
They all didn't say a single word to me and just kept on staring at me. I turned my back towards them, to wipe my tears from my eyes and face. I over-reacted again. I was wrong for not listening to them and they have all the rights to be angry at me and scold me. They worked very hard for me but, I threw their efforts down the drain.
"I am sorry guys. I should not have over-reacted like that. I am really sorry for coming back but I just couldn't leave you guys like that. I didn't want you all to suffer because of me. ", I said.
None of them said anything, at all. I thought that they were all giving me silent treatment to show their anger. After at least thirty seconds, out of no where, Jake hugged me. Then Will, followed by Alex and Sam. Soon it became our group hug.
We hugged each other, without saying anything. After some time, we all moved apart.
" I understand that you came back for us and that is why we are more upset. I am sorry I behaved like this. ", Will said.
" I am also sorry. I should have thought from your perspective too. I was angry that your uncle used us to threaten you. I knew that we would become your weakness one day. ", Sam said.
" Hey Sam...... ", I said but, Jack cut me off before I could say more.
" Sam, don't say like that. It is not true. Oliver, I am sorry for reminding you of the past and hurting your feelings like that. I also over-reacted. I am sorry. ", he said.
" Guys guys guys, calm down everyone. First of all, most importantly; Sam, Jack is right. Don't you ever say that again. You all are not my weakness but my strength. I came back thinking that I will now see my friends after a year. I part of me was afraid to come here but, a part of me was really excited to come back because I could meet you all. So, don't ever think like that.
Next; Will and Jack, I understand everything so, you don't need to apologize to me. You all have all the rights to scold me, nag at me and even hit me because I broke our promise and returned back. I already made up my mind to face you all and my uncle too. ", I said and hugged each one of them.
" Hey Oliver, you know that I don't like being this touchy, right? ", Sam said but he hugged me back, tightly.
" Why? I like hugging my friends and family. ", Jack said, when I hugged him and he hugged me back, warmly.
" Yes Sam. Try to be more loving at least. This strict behaviour doesn't suit you. ", Alex said to Sam after we hugged.
" It's time for my turn. ", Will said, excitedly.
" I know. "
Will has always liked showing his affection and he also wants everyone to show it.
We hugged each other warmly. But, Will didn't say anything. Why is he so quiet? I wondered but I didn't say anything. Will was a cheerful and a talkative guy so, it was weird to me that he was so quiet.
He kept on thinking something but, for some reason, I was not sure whether to ask him about it or not.
"What are you thinking, so intensely, Will? " Alex said.
"Its nothing important. I am thinking nonsence. "
"Oh! I got it it but what? ", Alex pressured Will.
" Are you sure you want to know? " , he said, raising his eyebrows, trying to arouse our curosity.
We all nodded and......
