Chapter 18
ABIGAIL'S POV
I stared at June. She looked beautiful. Her auburn hair was left loose in their beautiful waves. I had always felt envy over her looks. I mean she was drop dead gorgeous. She turned and looked at me and Will. Her eyes were dull and full of pain. I guess she was hurting even worse than I thought, She gave me a small smile, and I let go of Will's hand to give her a hug. She was taller than me by a few inches.
"Hey June. It's nice to see you," I said smiling.
"You too Abigail. I haven't been here in a long time."
"I know."
"I've missed you guys so much."
"We've missed you too," I said smiling.
I looked over at William, and saw his gaze completely on June. My smile faltered. He liked her. I didn't blame him or anything, I was just sad, I mean we had just started dating, and another girl could catch his attention. His gaze met up with mine. His eyes showed panic and confusion. I Just shook my head, letting him know that we would talk later. He nodded his head, giving me a sad smile. He came to my side, and I introduced him to June. He gave her a smile, meant to weaken her at her knees, but she just smiled back. She had a tough shell.
"Abigail I need to talk to June. Can you give us a moment?" my brother asked.
"Sure Chase," I said, going upstairs.
William followed me into the game room, and I turned to him. He looked nervous.
"Abby I'm sorry."
"For what Will? That you find another girl attractive or that you finally realized I'm not what you expected?"
It hurt to say it out loud, but I knew I wasn't enough for him. I knew it wouldn't last. I had just wanted to convince myself otherwise. His blue eyes looked into mine. He was surprised.
"Abby I-"
I held up my hand,"No Will. I'm not gonna stand in your way to be happy. I'm not. I know this relationship didn't last long. I mean we just got together a few days ago, but I'm willing to let you go. I know you'd do the same for me. Now tell me. Do you want to leave me?"
His mouth opened and closed leaving me to wonder.

WILLIAM'S POV
I didn't say anything. Scratch that. I couldn't say anything. Her beautiful green eyes bore into mine, waiting for an answer. I was definitely attracted to June, but was it worth losing her? I wasn't sure. I knew she still liked Beau, but I was hoping to change that. Could I? Would it be worth it? I wasn't sure. What if at the end, I Just ended up hurt? I thought of all the times we spent together. The way she smiled, and looked at me with so much trust in her eyes. The way she laughed. I looked at her. She looked torn. I knew she liked me, but I also knew that maybe it wouldn't last. I felt sad. I wanted to stay with her as long as I could before she left me or before we grew apart. She finally dropped her head, and my heart burned. She thought I was leaving. I put my pinky under her chin, and brought her gaze to mine.
"I'm not leaving you Abigail."
I brought her into my arms and hugged her. I felt her smile against my chest. Why couldn't I smile? Am I gonna regret this? She looked at me, her green eyes still showed reluctance. I just kissed her. Hoping I wouldn't regret what I didn't do. I thought of the beautiful girl downstairs. Why did it feel so right to be in her presence? Why could I feel a connection with her? I barely knew her! But that didn't stop my mind from imagining her deep blue eyes or her auburn hair. It didn't stop me from thinking of her beautiful porcelain skin or her plump pink lips. My thoughts were interrupted by someone opening the door. We shot apart and standing there was Beau Ryder. He looked surprised, and his gaze automatically went to Abigail. There was no doubt that he liked her, and by her expression I knew she liked him too. But for some reason she chose me, and I wasn't going to lose my chance. Even if she did end up leaving me.
"Umm sorry," he muttered.
"It's cool man," I said coolly.
"Hi Beau," my girl said.
"Hey Abby. Why's June down there?" he asked.
"Chase asked her to come. He wanted to apologize," she said.
Apologize? Apologize for what?
"For Noah?" he asked.
Noah? Who the neck was Noah?
"Yeah," she said quietly.
She looked sad, but why? I saw Beau walk up to her and hug her. Jealousy coursed through me. Especially when they looked so perfect together.
"He's in a better place," he whispered.
"I know," she said pulling away.
I stood there awkwardly. She came to my side, leaving Beau to stand there staring at her in longing. I wrapped my arm loosely around her waist, and his gaze turned hard.
"I have to go Abigail. I'll see you around," he said leaving.
I looked at her, and she looked confused and disappointed. She defiantly liked him, and that hurt. It hurt really bad.
