Chapter 20

BEAU'S POV

I didn't do anything but stare at her walking away. Could I become an even bigger idiot? I just cheated on Raven. I groaned. Raven. What was I gonna tell her? I couldn't face her. So I did what every coward did. I left. I got in my car and drove home. I walked inside my house, exhausted. This night did not go as I planned. My parents were still awake since it was barely 11:40. It wasn't even New Year's yet. I sighed and felt regret go through me. I could've at least said bye to Raven, but being the huge idiot I was, I didn't. I pulled out my phone and sent her a quick text trying to explain why I left. I was a jerk. I went upstairs to my room, and opened the door to my balcony.

I sat outside leaning against the wood bars. I looked up at the sky, wishing it would take my mistakes away. I knew I couldn't fix it though. It was already done. I pulled at my hair in frustration. I heard a car coming down the road. It stopped in front of Abby's house. I looked at it in curiosity. It was William and Abigail. They looked real serious. I ruined her relationship too. I was an idiot. I heard Abigail slam the car door and she stormed to her house. William stayed in his car, staring at her figure. He pulled away minutes later. What happened?

I jumped from my balcony onto the ground. I tumbled over my legs falling. That wasn't the greatest idea. I grimaced and stood up going over to her house. I started climbing on the ladder next to her balcony, and I looked through. She looked really sad. Tears streamed down her face. Did they break up? I knocked on the glass door, and she looked up surprised. Her mascara was streaked on her cheeks making her look vulnerable. She stood up and walked toward the door and opened it. I walked in and took her in my arms. She sobbed against my chest, soaking my dress shirt.

"H-he s-aaid h-he n-needed time," she said.

"Shh, shh," I said holding her close.

My heart broke, seeing her like this. She didn't deserve it. She had fistful of my shirt in her small hands, like she wanted me to stay there. I held on to her until her tears subsided.

"Beau, why are you here?" she asked.

"I was out on my balcony, and I saw you go in your house. You looked really upset, so I decided to come see if I could help."

She gave me a small smile,"Thank you Beau."

"Your welcome."

She let me go and we just sat there in silence. I looked outside and there were fireworks in the sky. The New Year had just started, and I was with the girl I really wanted to be with, but she wasn't mine. My heart dropped at the thought.

"I have to go Abby," I said.

"Okay," she answered not looking at me.

I got up and went outside, climbing back down. I walked to my house with my hands in my pockets. Was it crazy that I already missed her?

WILLIAM'S POV

I stared at the road ahead. He kissed her, and she didn't do anything to stop him. Heck, she kissed him back.

* * * 

"Will," she said tears falling down her cheeks.

"Abby what's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry."

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"I cheated on you."

"What?"

"Beau kissed me and I kissed him back."

"You kissed him back?" I said anger piercing my every word.

"I'm so sorry," she said trying to get close to me.

I pushed her away,"Don't touch me."

"I'm sorry!"

"I need time. I'll just take you home."

She nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks.

* * * * 

I sighed and gripped the steering wheel. I was definitely hurt, but didn't she deserve to be happy? My heart ached. What was I going to do? I cared for her, but I didn't love her. It was obvious that she didn't care for me, like she cared for Beau. Why was I being so selfish? Why couldn't I let her go? I parked in front of my house and got out. I opened the door and walked toward my room. June entered my mind, and I couldn't help but smile. She was really sweet, but I knew we wouldn't last if we did date. She took my breath away, but I wasn't enough for her. I would never be able to have all of her like I wanted. I had to move on and forget my hopes of being with her, and I had to let Abby go. I sighed and smiled at all of our memories. It was going to be so hard, but I knew I could. I started packing my bags. I decided to go live with Amanda and Selene. I would go in the morning.

ABIGAIL'S POV

I stared at my hands, feeling sadness everywhere. I already knew Will was going to leave me. I saw it on his face when I told him about the kiss. I felt horrible. How could I do that to him? But it felt so right to be with Beau. To feel his sweet lips against mine. Even when he came and saw me crying, he didn't ask for anything. He just held me, and let me cry. Why did I feel so good when he was near? He didn't want me. He thought we wouldn't last. I groaned. I walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the railings. I heard a car come down the road and into my driveway. I stared at the guy who had came out, recognizing his dark mass of hair. It was Will. I ran downstairs and threw the door open. Why was he here? I walked outside and stood in front of him. His grey/blue eyes stared into mine.

"Abby, I'm leaving."

"What?" I whispered.

"I'm leaving," he repeated.

"But why?"

"Abby you deserve being happy, and I can't do that. Have you seen how happy you are when you're with Beau? You might not be talking, but it's like your eyes light up whenever he's near. That doesn't happen with me. You don't know how freaking jealous I am that you smile and look at him like he's the only one in the world. Even when you were just with me, you wouldn't look or smile at me like that. I can even tell that the feelings you got when I kiss you, it wasn't nothing compared to what you felt with Beau. Stop lying to yourself Abby. You like him, and you're close to loving him. Something you will never feel with me. I'm sorry, but it's over."

I felt tears stream down my cheeks,"I'm so sorry Will."

"It's okay Abby. I understand," he said smiling sadly.

I closed the gap between us and hugged him. He stiffened, but he soon relaxed and wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you for staying Will."

"I'll always be here when you need me. Just give me time to process it."

"I don't want to lose you as a friend Will."

"You won't. I'll be back."

I pulled away from him and kissed his cheek.

"I'll be waiting for you sweet boy."

"Bye Abigail."

"Bye Will."

I watched him get into his car and drive away. A silent tear made it's way down my face. I'd miss him. He'd become a great part of my life, but now I was ready to start again. Strangely, it was the beginning of a New Year. My chance to start again. I smiled at myself, and walked back inside.

Will let her go, and he's going to move on. Will Abby do the same and be happy with Beau? :o I seriously tried to make this long Haha. :)
