A Blank Flank's Heart

Regret

I lay in my bed, thinking about how Melody and I had gotten into a fight… No, it wasn’t a hoof-fight, or any real fight. I guess it can be called a slight altercation.

After finishing telling Melody about how the date went, and how it was to me, we began walking down the hall to the main door. On the way, she asked if I wanted to stay and listen to her sing.

I was about to accept and open the door that lead out into the main area of the bar, when I realized what would be waiting for me beyond that door. “I-I’m just going to listen from here.” I told her nervously.

She looked at me and rolled her eyes, “But you won’t be able to hear, the walls in here are soundproof.”

“I’ll put my ear real close to the door. Besides, if I go out there.. that crowd may be waiting to tackle me.”

“Well fine then! You don’t have to stay and listen…” She huffed, walked ahead, then mumbled, “even though I listened to you blab about your date.”

I stood there, staring at the ground, speechless… I knew that she didn’t mean it, but for her to bring it up… “Well good. Glad we got that settled!” I turned and began walking towards the back door. “Good luck with your singing.” I said angrily. It’s not like I meant to say it like that.. everything was telling me to go back and make up with her…

But I didn’t want to listen.

So here I am, laying in bed at… 2:34am, unable to fall asleep and thinking about the argument over and over.
“I really need to make peace with her… I know how she can get sometimes, but for me to not immediately see what was going on..” I slam my hooves at my side and exhale. “I’ll go see her tomorrow. I’ll have to talk to Cut about my schedule, but regardless I need to make time to go and say sorry.”

“But you weren’t even in the wrong! Why should you have to apologize?!” I shouted in my head.

“I just said why. I know how she can get, and I still argued with her anyways.” I said with a sigh.
Rolling over I drape the thin sheet over my body and get comfortable, “I need to get some sleep..” I said groggily to make myself sleepy. “Gotta get up in 8 hours to check the schedule…”
