Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-32036009-20180430131421/@comment-29325824-20180502093228

I stand there shocked, unable to comprehend her words. "You just see me as a pet!?" I ask. Lucy smiles and says that I'm just too adorable not to be considered anything else. I start to cry and tell her that I thought she genuinly saw me as a friend, the first person not to avoid me just because I'm a shy introvert. Before she can respond, I run away, to home, and decide just calling sick for the prom night as I spend the afternoon crying in my bed.

Eventually, the bell rings and as my family opens up, I can hear Lucy's voice. It's too far away for me to understand, but I definatly hear it's her. I quickly lock my door to prevent her or anyone from getting in.

After a few minutes I hear knocking on my door, and somebody attempts to open it. "Are you there?" Lucy asks suprisingly quietly. "I just wanted to sa-" "GO AWAY!", I yell. The noises at my door stop and after a few seconds I hear her again "Look, if you don't want to talk to me, I get it. I won't force you. I just wanted to apologize. Accept it or not, It's up to you." Surprised, I look up and ask her why she bothers to if I'm just her pet, making sure to spit out that last word. "You aren't just my pet!" She says while starting to sob. "I really do like you as a friend! Maybe more!" This shocks me. "It's- It's just that us Hellhounds have a very dominant streak. Just because we like dominating our partners doesn't mean we love them any less." Now her sobs are getting louder. "I'm sorry, okay!? I didn't really know how to convince you to act out my desires, so I stupidly decided to force you. But I never stopped to consider how that might have come across."

She starts to get up to leave, and says "I really didn't mean to hurt your low self-esteem even more. Hell, I don't think there's anyone with such a high opinion of you than me." Before she can leave, I open the door and hug her from behind. "Apology accepted. And, for what it's worth, I'm sorry for not giving you the benefit of the doubt. I of all people should know how difficult it is to be honest about your feelings."

She turns around and kisses me "Thanks." she says "And I would love to go to the prom with you."
