BURN "28 Flames" Book One

Valerie 15

He was here in Ontario for a concert. Suzy was going crazy screaming jumping up and down. I on the other hand was going crazy on the inside I hadn't seen him since our last night together a couple of months ago. He stopped coming in my house but still sent gifts every week. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss him. My God did I miss him. He wasn't a constant thought but what we had together was a reminder. Some nights I wished he'd come in my bedroom and throw my body into a night of ecstasy. Some wish huh.

***Recap of that night***

"Tell me you love me Abigail, tell me you never want to see me again." Now I wished I was honest with him and confessed my love to him but I was a coward and selfish. I was inducing my on suffering and now I missed him.

***End of Recap***

"Abigail! " yelled Suzy as I was burning a hole in my blouse. "What? I said coming out of my day dream. " Oh shoot! I cursed myself. My mind was in a jumble mess and I was nervous. I could feel my heart beat escalating and my hands trembling. I needed to get control of myself and fast I should be over him and whatever dysfunctional situation.

While Suzy was on her phone I disappeared into the office and turned my computer on. Secretly I listened to his music whenever I though about him and it gave me some comfort of him being near. My hands continued to tremble as I typed in his name for his concert tonight. I hurried and tapped on the ticket for backstage. After paying for it I felt a little guilty and frustrated because here I was now putting myself back into this situation. I shrugged my shoulders and turned my computer off and snatched the iron out of the wall.

" Hey Abby I have to go I'll call you tomorrow. " She said kissing me on the cheek.

I gave her a smile and watched as she walked out the apartment. Once I heard her pull off I grabbed my purse and keys heading to shop for an outfit. I had to see Claire to get my hair done.

Once at the little shopping center I saw the perfect rompers that would be awesome for the occasion and some wedge heels. It was a nice turquoise sequins with purples and pinks. The back was exposed a little to much for my taste but it would do. The wedges were this dark purple with glitter. Now I had to drop in and see Claire.

" Oh my look who is here!" Claire sang out as I walked into the shop.

I blushed and waved at her seeing she was with another client. I did my usual and grabbed a magazine to pass the time. In the middle of the book I saw him and Valerie together. My heart sank into my stomach I found myself outside gasping for air trying to keep myself from throwing up. He was with her the same man that I cared so much about was with the woman who tried to sabotage my business.

I called the number to the venue to get my money back but was told they don't do refunds. I was more than pissed and didn't feel the need to go but that was almost one thousand dollars down the drain and even though I had money I couldn't let that go to waste. I took a few deep breaths and composed myself.

Claire was talking but my mind was still in the mist of the magazine. She gave me a pin up with spiral curls. I loved it with my smokey purple eye makeup and soft petal purple lip stick. I paid her and gave a little extra for food measure.

Back my apartment I went to the shower before I went the concert I wanted to eat a nice steak dinner.

I stood in my full body mirror and was trying to squeeze into the romper it seemed to not fit and it was my size exactly. Finally getting it on I noticed my stomach poking out but ignored it. My weight had picked up since I stopped seeing him. I was always eating something to help me cope with the loss. No one saw me like this I did my best to keep my personal life under wraps. It was pitiful of me but I didn't need anyone judging me.
