chapter 15
I kept contemplating as I went to meet jade. There were so many good people in the world and hopefully I had one of them.
Michael... he really was a sweetheart. I couldn't think someone could be as selfless as that. To the point that he isn't thinking only for himself but also for his cousin. it was all so hard to believe and I couldn't realize that, I was still talking to myself. I saw my bestie staring at me, her eyes widened as she stared at my face.
''whats wrong lovergirl, you've been talking to yourself ever since you was walking. what's wrong Tina?.
"uhmm.....Tina can you hear me?jade called..."
" I immediately snapped from my unconsciousness;"
"wow...jade. I didn't hear you call, I'm sorry" ...I apologised.
"what's the matter babe, you're never like this"...she asked with concern.
" well I just had a lot of thoughts flowing in my mind. it's nothing serious actually,"
" thoughts like what? she questioned. why do you keep flooding your head so much..."
" I'm not flooding my head so much. it's just that.... I've not.."
"you've not? what...?"
"Apologized.... "
jade stared at me confused. "i can't understand what you mean.."
" it's Michael, I spoke out. I haven't apologized for what happened earlier.. I explained. and now, I feel he might still be sad about it for reasons I don't know. I really can't understand why I'm thinking about it so much though but, what do you suggest I do jade?"
"well Tina, if it's up to me; I'll say you tell him you're sorry in a grand style. you've wronged the poor guy by accusing him wrongly so, you gats to say sorry."
"but how?" I can't even make my head understand what I did wrong! I don't think he saw it as an offence though,"
" maybe he did, maybe he didn't. It's just all about you and him..Tina, no-one else matter. "
I could make sense in what my bestie was saying. I've made a mistake, just a little bit towards Michael, but there was no winner or looser here. besides, I needed to just apologize. what more could I do. but, grand style!!!! what do I know about being grand..I asked myself. something was certain about this though,I needed to say sorry to my boyfriend.
suddenly I had an idea;
jade...!jade....! could you come over to my house this evening? we have a lot of things to plan out.
though, jade was stunned by my reaction, she agreed anyways.
After a couple of twists and turns we finally did it.
"could you believe we finally pulled this off, I really have to call him now. I was super duper excited. Thanks so much jade". I thanked her as I turned to make the call.
"Michael could you come over to my place, something happened and I really have to talk to you about it.., I told him.
"okay..,I'm on my way" .he worriedly said as he hunged up the call

I couldn't help but wonder what the problem was. could she had found out? it will be really devastating if she knew already.
I packed my clothes in anticipation for what was about to happen.
''why am I even stressing? " I thought to myself. "why does everything mean a lot to me, suddenly". it's was never supposed to be like this.
I quickly placed my phone in my pocket as left for my car.
On reaching Tina's place, I couldn't find her anywhere.
"where could she be?"I thought to myself
"O God, if she were to do something to herself, I won't be able to take it."
I was still wondering where this sudden feelings came from before I bumped on her dresser.
In a little paper on her dresser, a note was written:
"meet me..... cressville park,
Don't be late!
-Anonymous

it was already starting to get late. I hope Michael hed seen my message already. it was only on my dresser table... a very obvious spot. I kept imaging how it's was going to be when he comes here. I'll finally tell him how I feel for him... I guess. Maybe the newly found feelings of love, that I started developing for him. hopefully, I just pray I don't back out at the last minute .
I went outside to check if everything was ready and of course, I could spot his car from afar. I quickly hid inside! he didn't have to see me, it would ruin the whole experience. Everything has to be perfect, perfect for my love.

"What if he has told her, what if she knows?," I couldn't help but think of how pathetic it will be.
why was I even thinking about it so much? so what, if max told her? it doesn't change anything, does it?
yes, a little voice said in my head. it would matter. she doesn't have to be treated that way and you know it.
shut up! I screamed.
"could it be that I've fallen for Tina,"...No
..that would be impossible!..I just kept thinking about her. ,I didn't want to loose her, yet.
On reaching the garden, it was so quiet. one could even say it was as quiet as a graveyard as, only the the noises of a few birds scrambling to their nests could be heard.
"TINA,...Tina, where are you?," I called out.
"if you can hear me... please bring her back to me". I shouted. I didn't know if it helped but, maybe it would.
I was startled to see a rose, attached to it was a note;
"FIND ME"
looking further,I saw another rose. On getting there, I saw another note;
"CLOSER"
I couldn't help but wonder were all these was getting to, but, I was feeling relieved already. I could spot another rose farther enough with the inscription;
"I'M SORRY MICHAEL"
"sorry....sorry, how?, when? I was still holding the note when I felt a gentle hug from behind and a familiar voice;
"do you forgive me now?"
