Johnnys Pov

"...Hey Johnny"

"Why didn't you go to school" Yes I am currently standing on my fake girlfriends porch because she didn't show up to school. She hasn't been answering her phone and when I asked Sierra and Maddy they rolled their eyes and walked away. Let me tell you her friends confuse the fuck outta me.

"I didn't feel like it" She have a little shrug like not showing up isn't a big deal. I mean technically it isn't but to her it is. She likes school. She cares about school. She's not one to just skip for nothing.

"Ok... why not?" I'm confused and she isn't helping. I'm not leaving till she tells me what is going on.

"Stuff happened didn't feel like showing my face to the school I don't know Johnny why do you care?" Okay what stuff happened? Did the picture finally break her? No way she's stronger than that.

"Is this about Becca's post?" I asked sounding genuinely concerned. Because well I am.

"What? no" Well that answers my question.

"Then what?" Come on Abby stop beating around the fucking bush and tell me.

"Johnny it doesn't matter i'll be at school on Monday." She said nonchalantly

"Ok but you're obviously not okay. You can talk to me you know that right?" She looked up at me like I was crazy. Am I really that bad that she feels she can't talk to me?

"What? Johnny I barely know you. How do I know I can trust you." She looked down at the floor. I don't know why that hurt. Why it even affected me at all because this isn't real. Why do I keep forgetting this isn't real?

Like sensing how it made me feel she said "Shit. Johnny i'm sorry I didn't mean that"

"Abigail tell me what happened." I said more serious because she's obviously struggling. She looked me in the eye and I could see the tears forming. Ah great here we go.

"Nothing." She blinked the tears away and tried to keep her voice steady. I took a step forward and engulfed her in a hug.

"Sierra and Maddy hate me now" She says into my shirt.

"What do you mean?"

"I told them this relationship was fake and they felt betrayed that I didn't tell them sooner. I fucked up Johnny. Bad." She let out a small sob and put her arm around my torso. I squeezed her tight and just let her cry. I don't know why her friends would up and leave at a minor inconvenience but maybe they weren't  real friends.

"They just left? Because you didn't tell them?" She went still. Why did she go still?

"Yes Johnny they left. Just like that. I'm really easy to just let go." She said that with bitterness in her voice. Like she felt betrayed that her friends left. Well she probably does.

"You're not easy to let go Abby" I pulled her off of me and held her shoulders making my face level with hers. "Abby you are fucking amazing and I don't know why but I can't imagine a life without you in it. Sierra and Maddy felt hurt. Everyone gets hurt. Hell, you're hurt right now. They will get over it because I guarantee they can't picture a life without you either." She just stared at me. To be honest i'm surprised I said that too.

"Do you mean that?" She did a cute little sniffle and continued to look me in the eye. The stare she have was intense. There was so much emotion in her eyes. Sure she was crying but she looked beautiful.

"Yes I absolutely mean that. And to prove it I will be helping you get them back." She looked like she liked that idea. She smiled and went to hug me again. I hugged her back.

"Wanna watch movies?" She asked me as she walked into her house pulling my arm with her

"Yea sure" I said with a laugh. Girls and their mood swings. She pulled me into the living room and sat on the couch. I sat down next to her and she hugged my arm.

"What movie?" She asked softly

"Ummmm how about.. Scooby Doo?"

"Yes!" She for excited over that. She is honestly so fucking adorable I can't handle it. This relationship may be fake but it feels real to me. I'm falling for Abigail Richards. Hard.

Abby's Pov

I spilled to Johnny about why I wasn't at school today. It felt good telling someone else. He hugged me and comforted me and now we're watching Scooby Doo. It's hilarious. We have been laughing so hard it hurts. Johnny has kept proving to me that he isn't such a bad guy. We haven't really talked about the kiss but I don't think we need to. We both know it can't happen again especially not one that gets heated like that. We both understand and we're both okay with that.

"Johnny?" I said softly

"Hmm?"

"Do you really think Maddy and Sierra will come around?" I said kinda ruining the mood but now that I wasn't crying I wanted a honest answer

"Yes I really do. I meant what I said Abby. You're fucking amazing" I smiled at that. He thinks i'm amazing. I hope Sierra and Maddy agree. Earlier he said he couldn't picture a life without me. And it's hard not to over analyze that. What did he mean? Does he not hate me?

After the movie he said he had to go home. I agreed because it was getting pretty late and mom would kill me if she found us asleep on the couch together.

"Ummm Johnny?" I said

"Yea?" He looked at me before walking out the door

"Thank you.. for today I mean" I offered him a small smile.

"Yea no problem it's what i'm here for" He smiled and gave me a wink. He then waved at me and walked across the street. I waved back even though he couldn't see me and then walked upstairs to my room. I sat on my bed and for the first time in a few hours checked my phone. I didn't have any missing texts from Maddy or Sierra and as much as I knew I wouldn't I still felt disappointed. Should I text them?
