WORLD OF OUR OWN

Chapter 11

ABIGAIL'S P.O.V

Missed call number 23 from Unknown Number - actually recognized unknown number because I've deleted it from the contact list.

I just stared at it. All day since yesterday afternoon. I know. He didn't need to tell me he's now back in town because TV and radio told us everything. The big band has just landed again in Orlando. Done. Now what? I wasn't Cara. He must have dialed the wrong number.

"Abby? Toby's calling."

"No Mom, tell him I'm at school."

"But this is Sunday."

I frozen. Next stupid reason, please?

"Oh, tell him I'm out and you don't know where I'm going."

"This is getting more ridiculous. What is this about, sweetheart?"

"Just please tell him that Mom. I don't feel like talking."

The conversation from behind the door ended. Mom gave up. She walked back downstairs and I heard her voice answering him. Good. For once, let me just deal with my sadness first before he decided to hurt my heart again.

"Not funny."

A huge crack sound from the window shocked me. I was combing my hair in the bathroom, faced the mirror, with half door opened. I looked outside. Him.

"Please leave."

"I came home and you weren't there at the airport. Busy enough?"

"Yeah, can't you see?"

"What...are you doing with our wall?"

He gasped staring at one side of my bedroom wall - which apparently became 'our wall' - the place I collected and hung our stupid letters and polaroids. Yes I've wrapped it all up and threw to the trashbin. It's over, remember?

"Abby!"

"Don't you dare talk to me like that!" I slapped his hand. "Go away! I swear to God Toby please just go away!"

"Let me explain!" He insisted.

"Explain how amazingly you spent your time in LA til a girl ended up kiss you on the cheek and it turned double times amazing so you think 'Oh let's post it on Instagram!', is that it Tobs? Yeah? She kissed you on the cheek? Only God knows how far you've gotten with Cara! You might have kissed her properly and wow who I am to blame you, ain't I?!"

"Baby please just sit down for a while..."

"Toby, that hurts!" I threw a polaroid picture of us kissing at the beach. "That hurts."

"I'm sorry... I know there's no better way to tell you this but yes I once doubted our relationship because you could never be there with me 24/7."

"And magically she can? Congratulations!"

"Yes she might be able to do that. And yes I have kissed her properly, if that's what you needed to know. Because you deserve my explanation."

"So you guys have kissed." I nodded. "Thank you for all these years of friendship and relationship whatsoever you name it. I..."

"But I swear this time I know I choose you."

"Oh suit yourself." I walked away.

"I love you!!! I choose you! I know I did most stupid thing in my life and no I don't need you to forgive me now. Please just give me another chance to prove you how serious I am when I tell you I'm sorry."

"Let's not play with this thing anymore dude. I'm tired."

"I love you..."

I turned my back at him. It's hard to hear him tell me that. It's the only thing I really wanted to hear right now, but at the same time it's hard to still believe in him after this. Second chance was always there. I was just scared I've given him too many chances that someday he would just turn around to someone else again. That easy. Because he once did. Means second time wouldn't be that hard.

"I doubt that." I smiled a weak one. "Please just go home. I don't need you to prove me this way. You haven't even come home. Just take a rest. Meet your parents."

He slowly stepped back. Toby took a way out the same as the way he got in here, that was through the window. I threw my sight everywhere but to him. Be it this way for now. I wasn't even sure I still wanted to fight for this or not. Because to a normal girl like me, it's an easy thing to stick around and fight for a guy.

The problem is, would he stick around too?
