"I'm sorry, Felix. I never thought that my actions would have bugged you so much. I won't do it again. I will always remember what you said, and I won't bother you anymore.
"About everything I've done in the past, I sincerely apologize to you right now in front of both of our parents. I hope you can forgive me," I said while lowering my head apologetically.
I forced the humiliation down as I continued, "I, Luna Lawson, swear that from this moment onward, I will never bother you again, Felix."
My thoughts of him being the one for me and all the love I carried for him were nothing more than delusions. I was so caught up in my own feelings that I failed to realize my love was unrequited.
I bit my lip hard, and the sharp tang of blood exploded across my tongue.
If this was what he wanted, then I would grant him his wish.
Despite my best efforts, my tears still streamed down my face and onto the floor.
"Felix … what are you doing?" Aunt Mel exclaimed in exasperation.
"Lulu, get up. You've done nothing wrong. You don't need to apologize. Come, let's go home," Mom consoled me as she helped me up.
Her fingers were warm as she wiped my tears away gently. "Baby, don't cry. It breaks my heart."
"Harper, Lulu has done the right thing. It was clear that her actions had taken a toll on Felix, so she should apologize. Lulu, since you know that you've done something wrong, you have to make sure not to make the same mistake again in the future. Got it?
"We, the Lawsons, know when to apologize and how to learn from our mistakes," Dad said as he pulled Mom and me into his embrace.
From such a close proximity, I could tell that Dad's eyes were bloodshot as well.
