Before we got there I told her I wasnt going to drink, but she said she wanted me to have fun and drink. I made sure it was ok with her and she was perfectly fine with it. I didnt drink that much, and when she left I didnt have really any more. When she left my phone died so I couldnt get her message that told me she was home, so i had my friend message her to make sure she was home. Later that night I got sick and fell asleep in the living room. Left the house the next day about noon went home and went back to sleep, and forgot to plug my phone in and text my girlfriend that i was home and ok. My girlfriend texted my friend and asked if i was home and he said i should be home but that i would have to tell her about the wild night i had. So the next day i showed up at her work with a rose and a card, she seemed to like it. We got back to her house hung out for a bit and when i was going to leave for work i noticed that she seemed upset. I asked her what was wrong and she was reluctant to say but she finally told me that she was worried that I had cheated on her with another girl at the party. I assured her that i didnt, and told her i love her. She said that she believes me and trusts me. She says that deep down in her heart that she knows i didnt cheat on her. But she seems upset still and doesnt text me back as much. Her last boyfriend cheated on her and it broke her heart. We have been together for over a year now and i dont want to lose her. Please tell me if there is anything i can do to keep her. she is the love of my life and i would do anything for her.

You have already been honest with her that you didn't cheat. Tell her what happened and about the fact that you forgot to charge your phone. You could also tell her to ask anyone at the party if they saw you with another girl, they'll all turn round and say no.
I think the rose and card was a really nice gesture. Reassure her that you're not like her ex, and you wouldn't set out to hurt her like he did. It may take some time for her to fully come around, but keep supporting and reassuring her.
