The Meyers' Estate

Chapter 17

I knocked three times with my heart pounding in my chest. I'm definitely not good at confrontation.

The door opened and Alex took a couple seconds to recognize me in his groggy state before his mouth dropped open in shock. "Abby?"

I took a deep breath, might as well just get it over with.

"I know what happened." He just kept staring at me so I continued. "Isaac told me. I know that you didn't mean to hurt me, that you were just confused and wanted your best friend back. And I know that you didn't explain everything to me because you promised him you wouldn't. And I just wanted you to know that I never hated you and that I forgive you." He keeps staring at me in shock and then opens the door all the way and wraps his arms around me.

"So we're friends again?"

"Yes." I laughed. "Just friends though."

"Of course." He chuckled and I sighed to myself. It's good to have Alex back as a friend. "Now if you don't mind I'm going to go back to bed because I have a serious hangover."

I laughed and he closed the door.

"Hey Abby." I heard someone call behind me. I turned to see what I assumed to be Eli coming towards me because of the loudness. "Good morning beautiful." He smirked at me.

"Oh brother."

"I think of you more as a soul mate than sister."

"Wow. Okay, well bye."

"Wait!" He grabbed my arm and stopped me from walking away. "Just give me a chance."

"How old are you?"

"Almost 15."

"Yeah, no thanks." He sighed

"Fine, for now. I will encapture your heart soon though."

"Oh great." I continued walking down the hall towards Chris' room.

"You can't resist these guns!" He yelled as I was walking away.

I knocked loudly then just walked in.

"Hey!" I practically yelled.

"If you don't shut up I will smash your face in."

"Oh come on lazy, get up."

"Abby, I will hurt you." He rolled over and put his face into his pillow with a grimace.

"Alright, alright Mr. Grumpy Pants." I pouted and walked out, slamming the door behind me. I heard him yell something at me but I ignored it.

As I was going downstairs my phone started buzzing in my pocket.

"Hello?"

"What are you doing tomorrow?" It was Isaac. After we had had our little picnic date thing by the dock we had walked back to Tommy's house and he had driven me home. None of the boys were back yet so I wasn't questioned about why I was out with Isaac.

"Nothing I think, why?"

"Because I'm taking you out for our official first second date."

"Official first second?"

"Yeah. Last night didn't count as our official first date because nothing was planned. So tomorrow will be our first official date but technically the second."

"That's very confusing."

"Yes, yes it is. Just go with it though."

"Alright. What am I supposed to wear?"
