"comic con's tomorrow!" i exclaim, jumping on my bed multiple times. i can't believe the day is actually so close. only a few hours of sleep left until i'll be able to attend my very first comic con, and as a guest!

"yea, yea, but you need to go to sleep young lady. it's way past your bedtime." chandler says, stopping me from jumping. i pout childishly. but to be honest, i am kinda tired.

i lay down on the bed, and turn the tv on. that's the only way i can fall asleep, if i have a background noise to make me sleepy. chandler lays beside me, playing around with my hair.

he pecks my lips quickly. but that soon turns into a big make out session. talk about escalating quickly.

suddenly, chandler's phone starts buzzing like crazy. i take a glance at his phone, and see continuous messages being sent to his phone. chandler's eyes widen as he reads them, i can basically see the fear in chandler's face. causing me to get a little worried myself.

"are you okay babe?" i ask him, rubbing his shoulder softly. he winces at my touch, worrying me even more. "what's wrong?"

"n-nothing, it's nothing babe." he lies, and tries to distract himself from his phone. "so, excited for comic con?" he asks, trying to change the subject. i really wanna know what's going on, but i let it slide. he'll eventually tell me when he's ready.

"yea," i answer with a fake a smile. "i'm excited that the fans will finally know we're together." i add, intertwining our hands together. chandler's face drops, and he nervously scratches his neck. i remove my hand from his and send him a weird glare. "what? you don't want them to know?"

"no, it's not that! i do want them to know." he says, quickly grabbing my hand and intertwining it with his own once again. "it's just that, maybe we should hold it off a while." i yank my hand away once again.

"hold it off a while? no, why hold it off for a while? why not hold it off forever? oh, or even better. we can break up. yea, that sounds good.0 i say angrily. he lets out a long breath, then finally answers.

"it was stupid, i do want the fans to know about us. i just don't want you to deal with all the hate." he says, playing with my hands. "i care about you, and i want you to always be happy. i know people can be cruel, i've been there. and i don't want you going through that."

"it means a lot that you care. but i'll always be able to handle myself, especially when i have you by my side." i say, kissing his lips. "now this was a nice discussion and everything, but i really do need my sleep." i say, a goofy laugh following afterwards.

"alright baby, goodnight." he says, then kisses my forehead and lays down. i try falling asleep for about an hour, but nothing works. "abbie, are you awake?" chandler asks, but i decide not to respond. way too tired.

chandler then pokes my sides, and i surprisingly don't wince or giggle. chandler removes his body from the bed, and then his phone rings.

"hello?" chandler says to the person on the phone. i can't hear what the other person says, but chandler keeps talking. "okay, okay, but she's here with me right now. she could wake up any minute." more silence follows. "i'll be there in a few minutes, don't leave."

then i hear him hang up. he huffs loudly, then leaves the hotel room as quiet as possible. as soon as he's out the door i open my eyes. who was chandler talking to? and where did he go? all these questions start swarming in my head. and they all lead to the and big question.

is he cheating on me?

chandler's p.o.v

oh god, how did i end up with such a wonderful girl? she's just perfect, and her kissing ain't bad either. after settling down and laying in bed, my phone starts buzzing like crazy. i look at it confused. why am i getting so many texts? i'm not cool.

i unlock my phone and read them quickly.

well, well, look at this.
*insert picture*

from: unknown
it would suck if this photo leaks. wouldn't you think?

from: unknown
and it will leak if you tell the fans about your little romance with abbie. once the secret comes out, so does the picture.

from: unknown
meet me in the park at midnight. and you better be there, or i will hurt your precious little abbie.

from: unknown
see you soon, xoxo

my eyes widen to the size of goftballs. who could be doing this? "are you okay babe? what's wrong?" abbie asks, causing me to jump a little.

"n-nothing, it's nothing babe." i tell her, lying really badly. i can tell she doesn't believe me, but thankfully she left it alone.

i try to tell abbie that we shouldn't tell the fans about us. but she went all out on me, and threatened to break up with me. i definitely don't want that.

once abbie was asleep, i started making my way out. my phone rings, the caller id reading unknown. "hello?" i say.

"hello chandler, it's so nice to be able to talk to you. oh and don't forget about our little meeting at the park. if you don't come, i could make abbie's life a living hell." the person at the other end of the line says. their voice is deep, so it has to be a guy. unless it's a computer voice editor.

my stomach churns, and i grow sick at the thought of something happening to abbie. i try to act calm so that the person doesn't know i'm really nervous right now. "okay, okay, but she's here with me right now. she could wake up any minute."

"you better hurry, i'm growing impatient." the person says.

"i'm on my way, don't leave." i quickly hang up, then walk out of the hotel room. i drive to the part as fast as possible.

i know it's dangerous to go out by myself, in the middle of the night, to meet up with a stranger that is threatening me. but i would do anything to protect abbie, even if it means hurting myself.

i arrive at the park in s few minutes, and nervously make my way to the park. i see a dark figure leaning against the swings, causing shivers to run up my spine. "glad you could make it chandler."

the person slowly turns around, and my mouth drops when i see their face. "you? you're doing this? what's wrong with you?!" i ask, anger fuming inside of me. "and how did you get the pictures?"

i try getting answers, but only earns laugh from them. "that doesn't matter. all that matters is that tomorrow, at comic con, you're not announcing your big news. unless you want the photo leaked." they say, causing me to curl my fists.

"if you do, i swear i'll-"

"you'll do what chandler? huh? abbie will never believe you. and you know it. so better do as i say, or abbie is going to pay for your mistakes."

every single word that i hear absolutely disgusts me. "you're sick." is that last thing i say before leaving. but it's true, abbie will never believe me. so i'll have to be careful.

but one things for sure, everyone will know about me and abbie. and i don't care what they have to say about it.
