"Alex will apologize to you, OK? And you should apologize to him too-"
The fire-haired girl flared up at the request. "What!? He did that on purpose, I'll never say sorry!"
"I'm sure he didn't!" Holly defended Alex, clinging him tighter to her chest. The teenager couldn't help but feel like she was the adult in the room and Alex and Melanie were the children; the thought caused his cheeks to burn. "Right Alex?"
Alex grimaced a bit. Now that she asked it wouldn't appear genuine to Melanie when he really needed it to.
"Melanie..." he spoke up, trying to ignore the daggers being glared his way. "...I am sorry, really. I know we didn't get along, but I had no idea that they punished you so extremely. I did not ask them to do that, really. I didn't even get paid, OK? Your parents just shooed me out the second they got home and I had nothing to do with whatever happened after that, OK? I swear." his heart hammered, little girls weren't known for being the most rational or understanding creatures, but Alex hoped she had a bit of empathy in her heart to if not forgive him, at least not try to kill him.
"See Mel? Please believe him, Alex's my babysitter and I love him, he's great! He's never done anything to be mean to me, in fact he's tiny right now because-"
"Holly!" Alex shouted, causing her to jolt, her sentence stopping with a smell "eek!"
"What? What do you mean he's tiny because of that?" Melanie seemed to finally realize that the teenager wasn't as small when he had babysat her, being small enough to be held like a young child by her shorter friend.
