Atone DISSONANCE Series – SE Green

Corey starts to shake his head rapidly as he tells me, “Baby, NO! That’s not… Jesus!” He pulls his hair and I swallow, afraid of what’s coming next. Anthony stands up, raising his voice. “Just STOP! Stop apologizing!” I’m terrified now, leaning back in my chair in an attempt to back away from the rage pouring off all of them.

My throat closes after I only get out, “Damnit Tony, sit the fuck down! She thinks you’re yelling at HER!” Bryant snaps at him. Looking at him, I’m surprised to see him seething. Anthony and Corey are staring at me with narrowed eyes. Corey looks at the other two and says, “I told you…” and then back to me. He asks, “Why do you think we want you to apologize to us, kitten?” “Umm…” I say as Anthony huffs out a frustrated breath and sits back down, muttering something to himself I can’t make out.

He seems so much more bitter and angry than he used to be. “Sweetheart,” Bryant calls, catching my attention. “You keep apologizing to us like we think you’ve done something wrong. You have to know that you haven’t. You didn’t do ANYTHING wrong here. That’s what we’ve been trying to tell you.” “But I did!” I blurt out. He jolts a little and then rubs his hands on his pant legs before leaning forward, like he’s getting ready for something. “Tell me what you did, baby,” he demands.

Anthony and Corey are waiting for my answer as well. Why are they wanting me to explain this? It’s so unbelievably embarrassing to list it all out. Do they want me to say everything? I turn as my face heats to what I’m sure is an unflattering red. It takes me a while to get all of my thoughts organized, and they don’t push me. When I begin to speak, they listen as I lay out all of my faults and sins; the ones that hurt them.

“I didn’t do anything right… that night, or before. I shouldn’t have dragged you to that party. You all were so mad about going… and I get it. Those people were horrible. I had just hoped… hoped that since we had graduated, all of that was behind us.” I swallow deeply before continuing. “But I didn’t listen about making sure other people didn’t see us like that. All together, I mean… being too provocative… teasing the other boys at school. I wasn’t trying to, I promise.

Of course they thought differently of me than the other girls. I was dating three boys at once.” I chuckle without humor and say more to myself than them, “It was selfish of me, selfish to have made you feel so uncomfortable for so long.
