My Understandings. (Of Mice and Men love story.)

When Love Met Destruction

Melanie and I sat down outside at a local restaurant while Shay and Austin ordered for us. Melanie had her round sunglasses on, and I had my aviators. "Theres a party tonight, we should go." Melanie said. 

"Where is it at?" I asked. "Brandon Davis's." I gave a disgusted looked. "I know you dont like him.. but it could be fun." She said. "I dont want to go."I said. "You are though." Mel said, smiling. A  couple minutes later, they were back with the food. 

"Theres a party tonight, and we're going." Melanie said taking bites of her sandwhich. I shook my head. "No, i dont think we should. Or at least me." I said. "Cmon Abby." Austin joked. I glared at him.  "It'll be fun." Shay smiled, nudging my shoulder. I rolled my eyes. "We're going." Austin said.

Melanie and I  decided to go shopping after lunch, leaving the boys at home to get ready.

"When are you getting it?" I asked looking through racks of clothes. "Getting what?" She asked. I looked up at her. "The abortion." 

She sighed, then looked at me. "In a couple days" 

"Have you texted Lux or anything?" I asked, looking at a shirt, I was going to try on. "He tried to call me during lunch but I didnt want to hear it."

I gave a weak half smile.

We got home, and changed. "You look hot." Shay smiled, as I buttoned my newly bought flannel shirt. I rolled my eyes. He put his hands on my waist. "You know what would look hotter on you?" He whispered in my ear. "Hm?" 

"Me." He gave a small laugh and kissed my neck. "Shay not right now. They're downstairs." I pulled him off. "Really quick. We can lock the door." He said kissing my neck more. "No." I laughed. I turned around and put my hands on his shoulders, and gave him a quick kiss. He fiddled with the buttons on my shirt. 

"Are you going to drink at the party?" He asked, remembering me being sober. "Maybe." I looked up at him. 

"Maybe?" He laughed. "Whos going to be the driver, if im not?" I asked.

"Austin." Shay smiled. "We both know thats not going to happen." I said, taking his hands off my shirt, and walking to put my boots on.

We drove to Brandon's house, and I was pretty nervous. I haven't been to a party since Max was alive. 

There was so many cars, and a lot of people standing outside. My hand clenched tightly on the steering wheel.  Mel was sitting in the front with me, and she grabbed my free hand. "Its ok, it will be fun." She smiled. 

"Is Jenna going?" I asked. "She might be there, but im not sure." Mel replied. I took a deep breath, then parked the car.

We all got out, and Shay grabbed my hand. "Baby its ok, it will be fun."

THREE HOURS INTO THE PARTY 

The music was loud, and there were people at every corner. I hated being at parties.

Shay had 3 beers already, and I was sitting on the couch alone, looking through my phone while Mel, Austin, and Shay were talking to people.

Shay had gotten very close to Ashley, which made me very jealous.

He liked fake blondes.

All of a sudden, Brandon cleared the glass coffee table in front of me with his big arm. Him, and his friends laughing, he slaped a bag on the table, and took out white substance, and made it into a line. "Shit." I got up quickly, and tried to find Melanie.  "Hey bitch." Ashley surred pushing me against the wall. Her friends laughed. "Why were you sitting with Brandon?" She asked twirling my hair around, her valley girl voice, annoying and high pitched. I snatched my strand of hair back.  "I wasn't." I said trying to get by her. She pushed me right back up against the wall. "You stay away from him." She poked my chest. "Dont touch me." I swated her hand away. "I'll do what I want." She said, poking me. "Get away from me." I said pushing past her. 

Just when I thought I got away from them, she grabbed me by my hair and pulled me to the floor. She started kicking me. "Stop!" I yelled. I didnt know what else to do, so I grabbed onto I think Ashley's leg, and pulled her down, but a couple of girls went with her. I grabbed her shoulders, and pulled myself ontop of her. "Dont touch me again!" I said punching her with both fists. I felt someone try to get me off of her, but I resisted. Pretty soon they got me off of her, and her noes was bleeding really badly. The person shoved me out the front door. 

"Abigail, what the fuck!?" 

It was Austin. 

"You're the last person I want to see right now!" I yelled at him. "Chill the fuck out!" He screamed. "No! I didn't even want to come!" I yelled. "Shays probably in there fucking some girl, and Mel and probably getting drunk, even though shes fucking pregnant!" I yelled. "This is bullshit!" I yelled.

I threw my car keys at him. "You drive them home, asshole." I spat, walked in the direction of my house. "Abby wait!" He yelled. 

I turned around and was on the verdge of tears "What Austin." I said, my arms crossed. "Why do you hate me?" 

I swallowed hard. "Because you treat me better than Shay." He stared at me for a while before I turned around and walked off.

I walked 3 blocks to my house, then opened the garage with the code thing on the side. I slammed the laundry room door as hard as I could, and slid down it. I cried in my hands. 

Ashley on the side.
