Johnnys Pov
It's been a few days since Abby told me what happened. It didn't sit well with me if i'm being honest. Her supposedly best friends abandoned her just because she didn't mention something. Okay abandon isn't the right word but it's close enough. All i'm saying is that they should've let her explain. Instead they left because they were pissed. Well, now i'm pissed that they got pissed and hurt Abby. So, that's why I ended up walking up to Sierra and Maddy to have a little talk with them.
"Hello Sierra" I nod in her direction then Maddy's "Maddy" They rolled their eyes but I continued "How have y'all been?" Maddy turned her head towards me.
"Oh we've been excellent. Life couldn't be better." What a bitch
"Oh that's good. Yeah that's real good considering that you walked out on Abby." This got Sierra's attention and I just looked at her
"Walked out on? Are you fucking kidding me? We didn't walk out. We left because we found out that best friend had been lying to us."
"Okay that may be true but did you ask why she didn't tell you? Did you let her explain herself before you got pissed off?"
She looked like she was thinking back to when Abby told them and said "I guess not, no" She was calming down. Thank God because I didn't need her to cause a scene
"Well, maybe you should talk it out with Abby and give her a chance because as much as you say your doing fine I know you miss her." She nodded her head and walked away. I really hope they give Abby another chance.
I made my way to her locker because I knew she'd be there. She has been staying at her locker till right before the bell since Sierra and Maddy stopped talking to her. When I approached her she smiled and said hi. We had first period together so I walked with her holding her hand.

School went by pretty fast and now me and Abby were walking to the bus. We sit in the same seat now. It kinda just happened. Over the past few weeks we've gotten closer which sucks for me because it feels too real sometimes. She thinks of me as a fake boyfriend probably just a friend while i'm over here saying she's my fake girlfriend and wishing it was real.
When the bus game to a stop on our block we exited the vehicle. She invited me over for dinner so I could see her mom again. I've been to her house so often I need to step up and invite her to mine. My little brother met her once and he loves her. I mean who couldn't. He bugs me every so often asking when she's coming over again and all I can reply with is 'soon'
We walk into her house and she brings me into the kitchen. "My mom isn't home so we're on our own for dinner... I mean if you want to stay." She's so cute
"Yea I'll stay" I shrug "I mean I got nothing better to do" I say in a mocking tone which she replies with an eye roll
"Sierra and Maddy kept staring at me today. I made eye contact with them for the first time in 4 days." She said looking through her pantry for some food
"Oh?" Is all I can say. I mean I'm not gonna tell her I went up and talked to them. She'd freak out and be so pissed. So instead I walk over and stand behind her. She went still and I laughed staying in that spot. I bent down to whisper in her ear "Find any food slow poke?"
She cleared her throat and spoke "No not yet" She didn't turn around. She acted like I wasn't there and kept looking for food. She gasped "Let's make brownies!"
"God Abby you scared me" I say backing up and laughing "Shouldn't we make dinner first?" She laughed like I was crazy "What?" I asked her confused
"Dessert comes first Johnny boy. Today you become a man!" She said the 'become a man' in a deep voice and then laughed so hard she had to lean on the counter. I started laughing too and then we were just two teenagers standing in a kitchen laughing our asses off. When we sobered up she got all fake serious and said "Okay time to get down to business. Bowls are in there. Grab."
I laughed and said"eager are we?" I obeyed anyway.
She nodded and continued talking "I'll grab the pan and the ingredients." After we gathered everything she started dumping things in the bowl.
"Shouldn't you be more careful while putting ingredients in the bowl?" I asked raising my eyebrows at her. She gave me an unimpressed look and rolled her eyes
"Johnny. You only live once. Loosen up and stop criticizing my work process. I'm the best damn baker you'll ever meet." She says with such passion I started laughing. Which won me another unimpressed look. She poured the batter into the pan after spraying it. She had such a cute concentration face. After she finished she started whining "I forgot to set the oven! Johnny why didn't you remind me!"
"Hey hey hey how is this my fault?" She doesn't answer as she goes to set the oven to the correct temperature.
"You get to clean the bowl since you didn't remind me." She gave me an innocent smile and pushed the bowl towards me. I accepted the bowl with an eye roll and went to the sink. As I was cleaning the bowl she started cleaning the counter waiting for the oven to go off. Cleaning the one bowl ended up with me cleaning all the dishes because I had nothing else to do. The oven finally beeped and she jumped off the counter to place the brownies in the heated up oven. She set the timer for 35 minutes and then sat back on the counter. I had one more dish to clean but when I put it in the strainer I had an idea.
I took the sink attachment off of the nozzle and pointed it at Abby. She screamed and jumped off the counter. "What the fuck Johnny!" I just laughed and sprayed her again. She went to hide behind the counter but that only lasted a few second before she was charging towards me. Catching me off guard she was successful in stealing the sink attachment from my hand. Without hesitation she turned the water back on and sprayed me. I ran towards her and she ran away leaving the sink attachment left unattended.
Instead of going for the attachment I ran after her. She was squealing as I was chasing her. I eventually caught up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist picking her up. She started laughing and so did I but then the door knocked and I let her down. We both made our way to door confused on who it was. When she opened the door she just stood there. Neither of us understood why this person decided to show up on her doorstep.
"...Hey Abby"
