An Epiphany At 2 a.m.

"mmmf...Hello?"

"Hey, it's me."

"It's 2 a.m. WHY THE HECK ARE YOU CALLING?"

"Don't be so grumpy. I just had the greatest realization..."

"Spill. I want to go back to sleep."

"Today is the day. I'm going to forgive her."

"... wow. That is not what I expected you to say. It's been three years. I had assumed you'd just hold this grudge forever."

"I did too. But what's past is past. Because I didn't let go, I was weighed down. I've been miserable. I need to just forgive and forget. Maybe we can even be friends again."

"What happened to you is a big deal. I still hear whispers in the hallway at school, I've seen the way they look at you."

"I know. But I can't live like this anymore. I'm going to talk to her. I have to, or else I'll never move on."

"I understand. You need to do it. I'll support you on this, no matter where it may go."

"Thank you. I think I'll hang up now, because your sweetness has me on the verge of tears and you need your sleep."

"See you in a few hours."

"I have a feeling that things are going to turn out okay."

"I really need you to hang up now or I won't be able to fall back asleep."

"I'll leave you to it then. Bye."
