 Eg: It was a tough day today, but thanks for hearing me out.
       If only Sierra would hear Sam out, she would understand that it was not his fault.
 
7. Have (someone's) back - to support someone or defend them.
Eg: They were being really mean to me but thanks for having my back. 

8. Make up - try to make things right with a person whom you hurt.
Eg: I'm sorry I missed you birthday party. How about I take you hiking next week to make it up to you?
