This is the place where Archie was, but the moment Nat walked in the door, it dawned on her that she had no idea what she'd say, and there were other people here, so it wasn't a place she could break down. She had to stay strong, and ironically that wasn't something she was good at. She started to walk over. Her body langue betrayed the fact that she was nervous. She kind of nervous an employee had knowing they were about to get yelled at by their boss. She decided she'd say something once she reached him, but the moment she started to say something, it all came out. Stuff she'd desperately wanted to share with someone all this time. Things she'd been wishing she could say to Archie. It all came out in a mess.

[color=Silver]"Hay, Archie. I'm....I'm sorry. Taking a break was a mistake and I'm sorry if it hurt you. I don't think it even fixed anything or made anything better. I just didn't want to burden you. I didn't want you to see me as a total mess. A wreck of a person. I...I was scared. It's like every time I make a choice that makes me feel happy or normal, somebody gets hurt. It's like it was my fault. I know it's not, but just thinking about doing anything else after Homecoming just caused a wave of guilt and fear to wash over me....Can you accept my apology? And can we, like, I dunno. Carry on? Like, as boyfriend and girlfriend? I'd like that."[/color]
