《All I Wanted {Book 1}》Chapter 24: Surface Tension
Advertisement
Hey!
So be ready to cry. I cried just writing it. Poor Abby.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abby's POV
"I know I'm planning this thing but its still your party." I sighed and rubbed my forhead.
"I know I know. I just don't know what there is to plan. The last party I had was a princess sleepover and I was ten. Ever since then I just sorta got gifts and went on with my life." She smiled and said.
"I know. I was sleeping beauty and you were-"
"Snow white." I lyed down on the couch so that my feet were on her.
"Have you seen Abe lately?"
"No. He's been busy." She scoffed and I sat up.
"What?" She half smiled and answered.
"Nothing." I looked at her for a minute before saying.
"Okay." Greg walked in the living room and I started flicking through the tv.
"What are you two doing?" Aly smiled and said.
"Were waiting on you to come and whoo us with your charm." I don't why but for some reason they like to push eachother's buttons and I just sit there and watch. I smiled and he sat where I was laying.
"Greg! I was laying there!" He shrugged and I got up and went to the kitchen.
I pulled out a bottle of water and took a sip.
"Man I hate Tuesdays."
"Me too." I turned around wide eyed and smiled.
"Oh. Ava you scared me." I turned back to the counter and noticed she had on her clothes from yesterday. I looked at her confused.
"Where have... You been?"
"I was with my boyfriend." I raised a brow and looked her flat in the eyes.
"Having a little summer fling are we?" Her smile faded.
"It isn't a fling. He loves me and I love him. Why am I even telling you this?" I shrugged and went back to the living room. Before I opened the door I heard Aly and Greg talking. I know its wrong to eavesdrop but what could they possibly have to talk about?
"Okay. You have to tell her. This has been going on for too long I can't take it anymore."
"Look. I know its killing you. But you don't think its killing me too? Greg?" I heard a long pause and then Aly started talking again.
"Look-" Before I could hear what she was gonna say, Ava came up behind me.
"What are you doing?" I quickly turned around and put my finger to my mouth and whispered.
"Shhh. Do you have to be so loud?"

"That's all I is." I narrowed my eyes at her and Taylor came up to us.
"What are you guys doing?" I threw my hands up and refrained from yelling.
"Are you two gonna let me listen? Gosh! Why don't you go take a bubble bath or something?" I turned back around and Taylor said.
"Who's in there? Why are you eavesdropping?" I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Go away." Ava smiled and said.
"Come on. Tell us who's in there?"
"No!"
"If you don't then I am going to waltz right in there and tell them that you heard everything." I stared at her and then Taylor and pulled them both back in the kitchen.
"Taylor. You talk to much. Go away." He slouched and whined.
"Come on Abby. I won't tell I promise." I scoffed and said.
"Yeah. Heard that one before." I gawked at me and said.
"Fine. I'll go. But I'll be back." Heleft the room and Ava tapped me.
"Okay talk. What did you hear?"
"Well I didn't hear much but from what I picked up their secretly together." Her eyes widened.'
"You mean together. Together?"
"No Ava. I mean together as in planning me a surprise party together. Yes together!" She rolled her eyes and I looked at her confused.
"Wait. Why am I telling you this?"
"Because I wanna know. Now. I'm going upstaires to take a shower. Later." I waited til she was at a safe distance before saying.
"Sex isn't the answer." She stopped and I smiled but she just kept walking.
I shook my head and this time really went back to the livingroom.
When I walked in they both got quiet and I smiled.
"I'm bored. You guys wanna go to Eros'?" Aly smiled and nodded and Greg sat up.
"I'll get my keys."
~*~
"Ha! I kicked your butt!" I laughed and pointed at Greg.
"I let you win!" I shook my head no and he nodded.
"I missed those goals on purpose! Its a basketball game." I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Hey. Where'd Alison go?" I stopped smiling at that and shrugged.
"I don't know but. We could go back and have a remach if you want." I smiled and he laughed while shaking his head.
We were walking towards our table when I saw Megan and Nick. I stopped smiling and looked away uncomfortably.
They walked towards us and I looked at Megan who was looking at me in a weird way.
"Hey." Nick smiled and him and Greg started getting off into some pointless ramble. Fortunatly what happened didn't have a ripple effect on anyone and we decided to pretend that it never even happened.

We were standing there for five minutes listening to them talk and I was looking around for Aly but I didn't see her. All I needed was one good reason to get the heck away from Nick and Megan. As if watching them hold hands wasn't torture enough.
I tapped Greg on the shoulder and smiled.
"I'll be back." He looked at me confused.
"I'm going to the bathroom." He nodded and said.
"Okay. But find your friend because I am not buying her anything to eat." I nodded confused. And walked away.
Your friend? I thought they were together? YOu know what? Maybe I shouldn't asume that. I mean he is in love with Cassie. Aly and Ben I'm not so sure about. Maybe they were talking about something else. But what? And who? I shook my head and walked in the bathroom. I didn't have to use it but I needed to get away from them and what was it with Megan and the certain change of heart? I thought she ws all fakely friendly with me. She didn't even speak.
I walked over to the sink and washed my face for no particular reason. I stared back at my reflection.
What doesn't he see in me? I mean I'm no beauty queen but I'm far from ugly. I smiled at that. I sound so conceited. But its the truth. I just want him to like me. Is that so wrong?
The bathroom door opened and I wasn't the least bit interested at who it was enough to look. It was a public bathroom after all. That was until they looked at me through the mirror.
"Um..."
"Shut up and let me talk." I turned and faced her confused. Did I do something wrong?
"You need to rethink any feelings you have for Nick. Because he loves me and I love him and he doesn't want anything to do with you. All you ever do is screw stuff up. I will not loose him to you ever again." At this point I was really confused.
"Who?"
"You didn't think Cassie was gonna tell me? She's my friend not yours. She told me just like she told Greg and Darci."
"Why would she-"
"I don't know why. Maybe they made her. Maybe it slipped. All I know is you need to stay the hell away from my boyfriend."
"Why are you being so mean?"
"We are gonna be happy and I'd rather rot in hell then let you or any other bimbo come between us. He doesn't WANT YOU. And the sooner you realize it the better."
She walked out of the bathroom and slammed the door behind her. All I could do was cry. I tried to hold it in. But I couldn't and before I knew it tears were rolling down my face.
It took me ten minutes to pull myself together. I finally built up the nerve to go back out there and face... Them.
I walked up to our table and saw them sitting there. Greg looked up at me and said.
"Gosh! Abby. What took you so long? And why is there make-up all over your face?" Danm! I forgot to was it off. Shit! I ignored his questins and started pulling him out of the booth.
"Can we go?" He resisted for a while and finallly stood up.
"But we havn't even eatin yet."
"I don't care. I just wanna go." I guess he saw the sadness and destress in my eyes because all he did was nodded.
He looked at Megan then Nick and then back at me.
"Did you find Alison?" I shook my head and looked at Nick. He looked me right in the eyes and I found myself fighting off tears all over again. I blinked a few times and looked at Megan who was looking at me with a blank expression but I saw the joy in her eyes. I looked at the floor and rubbed my eyes before I started crying again.
Greg touched my shoulder and I looked up at him.
"Abby? Are you okay? You look like your gonna cry." He looked worried and sighed.
"Just come on."
~*~
The ride home was agonizing. All I could think about was what she said. Word for word echoed in my mind. And between thinking about what she said and watching Greg look at me with nothing but worry in his eyes it was impossible not to cry. I just didn't wanna deal with Greg.
We walked though the door and I sighed while rubbing my hands through my hair.
"Are you sure your okay?" Without answering him I made my way up staires. And into my room.
"Worst. Day. Ever." I took my shoes off and lied down on my bed.
I closed my eyes and thought about what she said all over again that's when my phone started ringing.
"All the things she said. All the things she said. Running through my head-" I put my phone on vibrate and whispered to myself.
"Not. In the mood."
I curled up in my bed and felt myself drifting off to sleep.
