If you guys comment and fan me I will love you forever!!! Strike the pose!! LOL
_____________________________________________________________________________
While I was walking to my next class which is History I run into Abe... Or rather he runs into me... Whatever.
"Abby!"
I turn around and smile at him. It's been four days since I first met Abe and we've actually become good friends.
"Hey Abe! Why are you in such a hurry?"
"No reason can I walk you to class?"
"Sure."
History is the only class we have together and he sits with me and Aly at lunch. Were walking down the hall and he suddenly blurts out. "So... About that party tonight I was wandering... If maybe you aren't going with anyone then would you maybe wanna go with me?" I'm suprised at his questin for a while and my eyes go wide all on there own. I don't know if i'm more shocked at the questin or the fact that I actually wanna go with him. He must of noticed my reaction because he immediately said.
"I mean if you don't wanna go you don't have to-"
"No! I mean no... I'd love to."
Just then the bell rings and take our seats in class. I sit by Aly and Abe sits in his usual seat. Before class starts Aly looks at me wide eyed. I guess she notice the natural glow that had formed. (That's actually kind of funny to think about) She leans over to me careful not to let the teacher see and asks.
"What happened?" At first I was a little reluctent to tell her, seeing as we were in class but I just thought to myself what the hell?
"Abe asked me out." She almost screamed before the teacher turned our way and she quickly restrained herself. I let out a HUGE sigh of relief. You see ever since Abe started hanging out with us, whenever we were alone she came up with this stupid theory that I liked Abe and he liked me. Even though I denied it, I knew it was true, what I didn't know was that Abe liked me back... Until now.
As soon as we walked out of class she all but but dragged me to the girl's bathroom!
"WHAT HAPPENED? YOU BETTER TELL ME NOW BITCH!" My mouth immediately dropped open, but I closed it and walked over to the mirror to fix my hair.
"Nothing happened really he just asked me to the party tonight. And I accepted." She started jumping up and down. I just rolled my eyes because I knew what was coming.
"I WON! I WON! YOU DO LIKE HIM!" I sighed and glared at her before finally breaking.
"Fine! Okay I like Abe! Is that what you want to hear? Now... Stop being loud before someone hears you."
"OMG! Abigail I am so happy!" Abigail? She NEVER calls me Abigail. So I know she's happy which kind of makes me wander.
"Wait... Why are YOU happy?" That questin whipes the smile off of her face. Which is a sign that it's a selfish reason.
"Because you finally have a boyfriend and I can have my dream double date!" My best friend so childish.
I smile at her and slightly shake my head.
"You are really something special." We walk towards the exit of the bathroom and she throws her arm over my shoulder and says.
"And don't you forget it."
~*~
"ABBY! You have to pick a dress!"

"Nooooo!"
I whine and jump down on her bed, landing on my stomach. The party is tonight as my date with Abe. Were in her room and she has a variety of dresses lying down on her pink fluffy carpet. She has always been the more girly of us both, not that i'm complaining. So of course she has more dresses then me, AND she's forcing me to wear at least one of them! I'm kind of nervous about my date with Abe. I mean i've never been on one before and I really don't know what to expect.
While i'm politely resisting the dresses she throws at me one in particular catches my eye. It's a strapless red dress that stops right above my thighs, with a black belt going around the middle. While Aly is going on and on about why I need to where a dress, I get off of the bed and pick it up. I scan it over one more time before saying.
"I like this one." She has a huge grin on her face and looks at the dress before practically yelling.
"It's prefect!" Just as she yelled that she yanked me onto her computer chair and yelled. "SIT! When I get through with you Abe's gonna think he asked out a super model!"
(sometime later)
As I scanned myself over in Aly's full body mirror and I have to admit when she said that super model thing I really thought she was over exagerating but I. Looked. Goood!
I had the red dress on with a black leather jacket on that stopped at my elbow and only covered half my stomach, FORCED to wear fishnet stalkings by a certain someone. And black high heel shoes. I fluffed my wavy hair one more time before turning to face Aly was nodding in approval at her own handi work.
"I have to admit Aly, you've really outdone yourself this time."
"I know! But, this is your first date so you have to be really, REALLY beautiful!" I walked over to her bedroom door and said "Let's go." I was a little nervous about tonight so Abe decided to meet me there.
"WAIT! Just let me grab my coat and then we'll be on our way."
~*~
Me and Aly pulled up at Megan's house. And I am really having second thoughts... Will Abe like the way I look? I mean I like the way I look but will he? I mentally shake my head. Of course he will. After all he's ethe one who asked me out.
Aly opened her car door and I did the same. As much as I hate Megan I have to admit her house is HUGE! It looks like it belongs on an episode of cribs.
While were walking down the drivewaay I can hear the music blasting through the house. I think their playing 'young blood' By The Naked And Famous.
As we start to get closer, I start thinking about Abe which makes my stomach turn, and I stop right where I stand. Aly notices and she turns around just a few steps ahead.
"Abby? What the hell?" I look at her wide eyed and start shaking my head. "I can't do it." I start to turn around and she quickly grabs my arm.
"Oh yes you can! I did NOT spend all that time on you so you could run and hide! You are gonna take your skinny ass in that house and party like there is no tomorrow." With that she she lets go of my hand and start to walk back towards the house. When she notices i'm not following she turns around and yells.

"What are you waiting for? A MIRACLE? Let's. go."
I reluctantly follow her and as we enter the house I spot Nick dancing with his 'prized possesion' Megan. I cannot believe my eyes! Like sriously? But i guess I can't complain I am on a date with Abe. Speaking of Abe... I quickly turn my head as I see Nick spots me as well. I turn back to Aly who is... Well... No longer there. Talk about rude!
I take a quick glance at Nick who is... Still staring. I smile and wave.
"Hey." I look in front of me as I jump and there's Abe. Beautiful Abe! I look at him while he scans me up and down before finally saying.
"Wow Abby! You look beautiful!" That of course made me blush. He grabbed my hand and spinned me around slowly.
"You mean you actually like it?"
"I don't what made you think I wouldn't!" I immediately felt my whole face go red. Danm blushing! He smiles at me and then says.
"So you wanna go get a drink?" I smile and say. "Lead the way."
We walked into the kitchen and I realize were still holding hands. Which makes me blush more. The kitchen was empty so it was only the two of us. He pulls out to drinks and hands one to me. I take it even though I don't really drink. Were standing in the kitchen and he takes a long gulp of his drink like any boy would do. All the while not once taking his eyes off of mine, which makes me uncomfortable, so I slowly look at the polished marble kitchen floor and sigh.
"So..." He sits his beer on the counter and walks over to me.
"So... You uh..." He trails off, and I laugh through my nose.
"What?" He asked in an amused voice.
"N-nothing it's just... I have no idea what to say. I've never been on a date before." He smiles at me and says.
"Really?" I nodd and scracth my head.
"Yeah, I know. Not really a turn on huh?"
"No! I mean no, of course not it's just really beyond me how you, of all people have never been on a date." I shrug and say.
"Well. I've never had a boyfriend either so."
"Wow!"
"I know, I was sort of a late bloomer, you know? I seriously blame Greg for that he doesn't really like me having boyfriends." Pause. I know what your thinking... Liar but it's actually true I know I sort of gave my heart to Nick but there's nothing wrong with having a little romance on the side.
"Why not?"
"Well for one, I think he's filling in for my father but you know how older brother's are."
"Oh... What uh- what happened to your dad?"
"Huh? I didn't-"
"No I mean you said he was filling in for your dad... So I thought..."
"Well um... Yeah my dad dies when I was little so I guess you can say Greg is kind of the man of the house now."
"I'm sorry... About your dad."
"It's okay I was too little to even remember so..." I was becoming really uncomfortable with this conversation so I quickly changed the subject.
"But you know... Stuff happens." I guess he took the hint because he walked over to the... Cotton candy basket? Whatever.
"You want one?"
"Um... sure." I smile and he hands me one. I take a seat on one of the bar stools at the counter, and he sits next to me. We smile at eachother and I take a bite of the candy and say.
"You know when I was ten, we went on a school fieldtrip and a kid dared me to eat ten of these, I get got pretty far and then, bleehh. And I had a feeling a little more then that candy came up." He started to laugh as did I and continued.
"Puke was all over my shirt and the kids shoes... Awww! Then I had my first kiss!" He laughed some more before saying.
"You had your first kiss when you were ten?"
"Well yeah! Why?"
"Nothing. You know I had my first kiss when I was eight." I looked at him and smiled he had a huge grin on his face.
"Well don't you think that's a little young for a kiss?"
"Says miss carnival puker." Even I had to laugh at that. I stopped laughing as I noticed him blush, which was weird because i've never seen a guy blush before.
"What?" He put his hand behing his neck and said.
"I-I like the way you laugh." I blushed and smiled. Weird I always dreamed that Nick would tell me that, not once did I think anyone else would. We stared into eachother's eyes for what seemed like a lifetime when someone waltz right into the kitchen! Talk about rude! And to top it off that someone was my brother and... You guessed it... Nick.
I hopped off of the stool and looked right at my brother who was looking right at Abe.
"H-hey guys." My brother walked over to the drinks and grabbed one while saying.
"What-uh what were you guys doing?"
"We were just talking." He walked over to Abe and said.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Abe, I go to school with Abby." As you know my brother has never really met Abe and I have never planned on pointing him out.
While Abe in my brother were in the form of introductions, I was staring at Nick who was intentively staring at me.
Just then this guy walks into the kitchen obviously piss drunk. And walks right over to me! Why me? Oh yeah i'm the only girl here. He scans me over before saying.
"Danm you fine!" My eyes go wide. And my brother walks over to him and yells.
"Get out of here you perv!" They guy puts his hands up in defence and starts walking out of the kichten and says.
"Okay okay."
I stand there speechless and still bug eyed, and feel everyones eyes in me! Again... WHY ME? I am so not used to this kind of attention!
I look over to my brother who is immediatly pissed off, and I prepare myself for the lecture i'm about to recieve. 5, 4, 3, 2.
"ABIGAIL! What ARE YOU WEARING?" And there he blows!
"I-I... A dress?"
"No! Wrong answer that is not a dress." My mouth drops all the way open. Is he serious? I close my mouth and look him right in the eyes. And motion all over my body.
"Um... HELLO! Are you blind?"
"Have you looked in the mirror lately? That dress only covers HALF of your body."
"THAT IS NOT TRUE! Plus there are girls here with WAY shorter dresses then me! I don't see you yelling at them!"
"Well THEY aren't my sister, and I could care less!"
"Okay! Well... What about your girlfriend?"
"Yeah well... That's... Different."
I shake my head and pointe my finger at him.
"YOU are being a hypocrite!"
"Are you pointing your finger at me? That's it... Were going home." He grabs my hand and starts marching me to the glass back door. I quickly break my hand away from him.
"But greg it's only 9:51 and my curfew is in an hour!"
"I don't care! Y-" My brother was interrupted by Megan and Cassie coming into the kitchen and for the first time i'm actually greatful for her precence.
"Hey guys! What are yall doing in here?" Her smile quickly disappeeared when she saw and me and she replastered it with a fake one.
"Oh hey Abby! What are you doing here?" She pretends to like me whenever she's around my brother but we both know that she doesn't. To be honest I don't know why she doesn't like me... I mean I never did anything to her. I know why I don't like her though.
"Actually, I was just about to leave."
I was about to open the door when Cassie (My brother's girlfriend) grabed my hand.
"No! Abby don't go! The night is still young and you havn't even danced yet!"
Unlike Megan, Cassie wasn't fake she was actually nice to me, not only in front of my brother.
"Oh I seeee. Is your brother making you leave?" I look at my brother who rolls his eyes. I nod a little and then look over to Abe who is obviously speechless. To be honest I totally forgot about him.
"Oh don't worry. I'll take care of him. Go have fun!" She pusehed me towards the living room entrance. With that I grabbed Abe's hand and bolted out of the kitchen.
By now they were playing 'Let's Be Friends' By Emily Osment. I smile at Abe and he says.
"You wanna dance?" I grab his hand and smile.
"Lead the way."
~*~
It was almost time for my curfew so Abe decided to take me home. We walked up to my front porch hand in hand. And stopped. I smiled from ear to ear before saying.
"I had a good time tonight." He grabbed my other hand and said.
"Me too." He let go of my hand and put both of his arms around my waist pulling me into him. I was a bit startled at first but then his lips touched mine and I slowly closed my eyes. Our lips moved in pure harmony. Like they belonged together.
As we were indulging in a perfect kiss, my front door flew open which scared both me and Abe. It was my mom, who's mouth droped and eyes widened at the sight of her only daughter making out with some strange guy on the porch. And if I was her i'd look the same way. She slowly closed her mouth and quickly relaxed.
"Honey! Why didn't you tell me you were on a date?" I opened my mouth and closed it back not really sure of what to say. She stepped out of the house and walked over to Abe.
"I'm so sorry I interrupted you two. It's just I was kind of coming out here to scold Abby and... Well... It is ten minutes past her curfew."
"Come on mom! Only ten minutes! Greg has stayed out wayyy later then this."
"Yeah well that's because your brother is practically a grown man and on top of that he's not my little girl." She rubbed my hair and was about to kiss me on the forehead before I dodged her and stood next to Abe.
"Mom stop your embarassing me!" She looked at Abe aand smiled before finally going back into the house. She yeld. "Don't be too long." Then closed the door behind her. I turned back to Abe and he smiled. He was just amused the whole time.
"So... I guess I have to go."
"Yeah. I'll see ya then." He gave me a peck on the cheek and left.
I walked into the house with a huge grin on my face. I turned my back to the door and leaned my head back and closed my eyes. And quickly opened them when I heard footsteps coming towards me. It was just my mom.
She leaned on the wall next to the door and smiled at me knowingly. This went on forever! Before she eventually pushed herself off of the wall and went upstairs to her room. I did the same and closed my door behind me.
Thankfully Greg wasn't home yet so I didn't have to sneak past his room in order to avoid another episode.
I walked over to my bed and lied down. Thinking about Abe the whole time I was just staring at my ceiling I had every intention on changing out of all those clothes but I fell asleep the way I was with a smile on my face.
~*~
The next morning I took a quick shower and threw on some black skin tight shorts and a pink shirt that had aqua words on it that said Peace. I sat at my computer desk and pulled out my weeks homework, when a message apearred on my pink Acer laptop. So I opened it. It was Alison who demanded to know evry detail of my night. I decided to ignore her until monday. So I deleted the message and shut my computer off. I laughed thinking about how she was gonna hate me for that one.
I felt my stomach growl so I went down staires to the kitchen. I popped some waffles in the toaster, and since I was home by myself I turned on the radio. They were playing 'Grenade' By Bruno Mars. I grabbed the closest thing to a microphone (which was a can of spray butter) and started to sing.
"I'll catch a grenade for ya,
throw my head on a blade for ya,
i'd jump in front of a train fro ya,
you know i'd do anything for ya,
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won't do the-" I stopped singing IMMEDIATELY when I noticed someone standing in the doorway.
"What are you doing here?" Danm him always welcoming himself in our house!
"I was just dropping by, no need to be embarraased." Embarrased? Who ever said that?
"I am not! And Greg is not here so..."
He pusged himself off the wall he was leaning against and said.
"I didn't come here to see Greg." I raised an eyebrow and gave him a confused look.
"Oh?"
"Actually I came to see you." He said that all too nonchalantly which made me worry. He moved closer to me and I moved over to turn the radio down.
"W-what did you come to see me for?" He let a loud sigh before saying.
"Abby... I wanted to talk to you about that Abe guy. You know you should really be careful." Why would he care? And i'm supposed to be having this conversation with my brother. Right?
"Why- why would I need to be careful? Abe is a nice guy. And if this is what your referring to I will not get my heart broken." He looked at me for a while before saying.
"Oh it's not your heart i'm worried about..."
"Your not?"
"No... I just came over here to let you know that not even you will be able to tame Greg. And he is DETERMINED to find ways to make Abe stay away from you." This made me a little mad Greg is really starting to get on my nerves. This kinda reminds me of the time he scared that guy who gave my first kiss off. The nerve of some him. I really, actually liked Joe!
