((thanks sophia, we know lol. we're just skipping ahead to the part where we straighten things out between pez and blake. instead of waiting for the other thread to finish. just makes things easier that way.))
Blake listened to Pez, and almost rolled his eyes about the 'parents thing', but stopped himself. He knew what that was like, so he couldn't blame her for feeling that way. "Pez, you don't have to explain. There was some truth in what you said, and I guess I just need to accept what's happened and deal with it. No use sulking about it now," he said with a soft expression. "Friends?" he said holding out his hand.
