“Do you have any idea where max and Leo are?”, Finn asked and Daria just looked around.
“Probably talking somewhere.”, She replied.
“I will go look for them then.”, Frankie said, excusing herself.
She was finding it a bit comfortable to just sit and watch them.
Everywhere became really tensed and they just stared at each other not knowing what to say.
Normally Oliver would have brighten the mood but he just lost the vibe after looking at Henry’s face.
“I’m sure you haven’t met Oliver’s girlfriend.”,Finn said.
“Why does he need to know my girlfriend? It’s not as if we are close.”, Oliver fired and kady just glared at him.
“I’m kady.”, Kady introduced and Henry just nodded.
“So are you staying here permanently?”, Finn said trying to keep the conversation going.
“I don’t know yet but I think I should, I don’t really know much people here.”, He replied and Oliver smiled and they all turned to look at him and he immediately kept a straight face.
“Hmm …. I want to use this opportunity to apologise to you all for all the hurtful things I have done especially to you Finn.”, Henry said and everyone looked at each other surprised.
“I didn’t realize that I just had a baseless reason until Oliver pointed it out.”, He said.
“Well I’m glad you know and you are welcome.”, Oliver said and everyone again looked at him.
“I know that my apology means nothing but I will still say it anyway. I’m really sorry for everything I did and said to you till this moment, I have been consumed with so much anger that I did a lot of horrible things to you.”
“Finn I am sorry for hurting you real bad, you had a hard time because of me.”
“Daria I am sorry for using your past against you, I am really sorry for speaking to you rudely.”, He said and Daria quickly wiped her tears.
“I’m sorry for punching you even though you started the fight.”, He said and Oliver scoffed.
“So are you saying that everything is my fault? That’s just your problem, you don’t accept your fault.”, Oliver fired.
“Oliver you don’t have to be mean, you were the one who started the fight and he’s the one apologizing.”, Finn said.
“Well he has to apologize, everything that happened is because of him, isn’t it? He can’t blame me for teaching him a lesson.”
“Oliver please…!”, Kady said and that was when Oliver realized that he was talking things too far.
“I’m sorry.”, He said.
“Oliver I understand your anger but he already apologized, he has realized his mistake and now he’s apologizing, why don’t you just hear him out?”, Finn said.
“Henry I totally understand why you need all the things you did but I’m very happy that you realized that you were wrong.”
“I never h@tëd you even after everything you did because you are my family, I just couldn’t bring myself to h@të you and I’m sorry for what you went through.”, Finn added.
“After everything I did, you still take me as your family?”
“You wouldn’t be sitting here, if I didn’t.”, He replied.
“Everything we had between us is in the past and I think we just have to move on and forget the past. I’m grateful we are talking about this, I just want us to be clear.”, Daria said happily and kady nodded.
“Thank you so much for giving me another chance.”, Henry said and they smiled of course except Oliver, who just pretended not to be listening to them.
“Oliver, I think you guys should just get along.ypu said it yourself that he has to prove himself and why don’t you give him a chance?”, Finn said.
“He is part of the family anyways and it doesn’t matter if we get along or not cos it won’t affect your family reunion.”, He said and they just all sighed.
“I will go for a drink, I don’t want to pretend to be happy.”, He said and excused himself.
“I’m sorry, he’s like that. He is just very stubborn.”, Finn said and Henry nodded.
“I think I should go talk to him personally, I would really love to be his friend.”, Henry said and they nodded.
“Can I join you in drinking?”, Henry asked and Oliver just stood up about to walk away.
“I’m sorry Oliver!”, He said.
“It’s not me you should be apologizing to, we didn’t really have issues like that.”, He replied.
“I just want us to get along please.”, Henry said.
“Why? Do you think you can fool me just as you fooled all of them with those fake apology.”, He said.
“No I was being genuine and I really meant my apology.”, Henry said .
“Then why do we need to get along? Our hatred won’t change anything. Just tell me the reason?”
“It’s because I need a great friend like you, whose love is enough to keep someone going.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I just want you to see me as a friend too and not as an enemy anymore. I want all the fight to end, i am sick of the nonsense I have been doing, no matter how much I try to ruin Finn, I always fail.”, He said and Oliver turned to look at him.
“There’s nothing you would gain by being friends with me.”, Oliver said.
“I don’t care at all, I just want to be friends with you.”, He replied and Oliver just sighed.
“Don’t you give up?”
“I’m just following what you said, you said I am the cause of my failure, so I’m trying to learn not to give up on something you want.”, He said and Oliver smiled.
“Sorry for punching you that day but I’m not really sorry about it.”, Oliver said and Henry nodded.
“Let’s drink together.”, Henry offered a drink.
“Just so you know, poison doesn’t affect me, I can’t die easily.”, He said and Henry laughed.
“You think I poisoned the drink?”
“No — I’m just letting you know.”, He said and collected the drink from Henry and took a sip.
“Have you ever thought that we will be together in a class, sitting and drinking together?”, Henry asked and Oliver shook his head.
“I have never thought about that, I have always thought of getting back at you and the day came but unfortunately, Finn and I had a fight all because of that.”, Oliver replied.
“Do you think they are fighting?”, Kady asked.
“I don’t think so, they are probably arguing or something.”, Finn replied.

“Aren’t you both tired? You have been playing this since and yet no winner.”, Frankie said with a big frown.
Leo and max weren’t even listening to her.
“I am going to sleep for ten minutes and after that, we will do something else.”, She said and laid on the bed and before she knew it, she slept off.
“Why is he this good?”, Max wondered and Leo smirked.
“Uncle leo, I have been playing this game and I have never lost.”, Max boasted.
“That’s because you haven’t played with a boss like me.”, He replied.
“Don’t blame me if you lose to me this time around.”, max said.
“Bring it on kid!”
“I’m not a kid.”, He frowned.
“Sorry kid.”, Leo said and max just sighed.
