Apology

You lay in bed, fuming at Albert's betrayal, until there is a knock and Beth pokes her head in. "Sorry to bother you," she says, "I know your not in the best mood." she is carrying a tray of donuts, "But I'm closing and have a few day olds, and thought you might want one before they get tossed. I know something sweet always makes me feel a bit better."

She offers, but you don't say anything, still sulking. "Um... okay, I'll just..." she puts the tray on the side table and backs off, "I'll... jut leave you alone and get the tray later." she says, and quickly exits, her tone a bit hurt.

You don't mean to be rude to her, but you really don't want to talk to anyone right now. You turn over and see the tray, thinking back to Albert and how he wanted to cut out everything so he could advertise you as his miracle weight loss case. Scowling you grab one and stuff it in your face, followed by another. Pretty soon you are shoving them into your mouth one after another, just to spite Albert, though they are delicious. Pretty soon, you have an empty tray, and despite it, you feel a bit better. You feel you owe Beth an apologize, so make your way back upstairs, where Beth is cleaning the machines.

"Sorry," you say to Beth, who turns, looking concerned. "I had a fall out with a close friend. He was... well, I don't want to get into details but he hurt me and I shouldn't be taking it out on you." you say. Beth looks a bit relieved.

"I'm so sorry," she says, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"You're already doing more then enough," you say, as she is basically letting you stay with her and given you a job. She smiles a little. "Here. let me help." you say and get another cloth and begin cleaning with her.
