Abby's POV
"Man, you just got beat by a girl!" Creo yelled up the drive way. John and I were playing basketball and I was winning. It's not everyday you see the "stars" of both of Cedarburg's basketball teams going up against each other. John and I often practice together but we never fully play a game, especially when other people are around. Guess that didn't include today. This was to see who was paying for our movie tickets tonight.
"Nah, I just let her win," John winked at me and I knew he was joking.
"Dude, we see how you normally are, no lying. You just got beat by a girl," Creo repeated, making me laugh.
"In his defence, he did lose to the states girl athlete of the year," Jade piped up, getting out of her car with Brinley.
"Yah, but he was the states guy athlete of the year. Everyone knows this. I mean they are both from the same small town and get picked for athletes of the year. I mean come on, you can't use that as an excuse," Cole spoke up. Him and Josh came with Creo.
"Okay, guys, this is stupid. We all know I won. Fair and square."
"Yeah, she won!" Jade grinned as she skipped over to me.
"Fair and square my butt," John mumbled. I laughed then continued.
"So, let us go change, then we can leave." I got a chorus of okay's.
So John and I headed up to his room. Which I may add is the typical guy room, it's even blue and has clothes lying all over the place. I went into the closet and pulled out both of our outfits. Yes, I have clothes in his closet and in his drawers, if you needed to know. I threw him my favorite shirt of his, a bright blue v-neck and a pair of white khakis. I got dressed in my favorite, comfy outfit, it's practically the girl version of John's outfit, and redid my pony tale. We went back downstairs and saw everyone chatting with Mama Meyers.
"Everybody! Time to leave!" John shouted. Everybody got up and headed out and got into their vehicles.
I got on John's motorcycle and we were off.
**********
We got to the theatre a half hour before the movie was going to start. We are going to the outdoor theatre and, yes, John payed for me, food and all! We are seeing 42 and Man of Steel. Since we took John's motorcycle we are currently in the back of Creo's truck. Brinley and Creo are going to get food right now and John and I are in the truck bed. I'm laying on John's legs as I feel my phone go off.
[Abby, I am sorry I had to do this but I just could not stand staying here with all of these crazy people anymore. Please make sure your brother and dad are taken care of. I don't want to leave you but I need to. Remember, don't eat to much and always work out! I love you. -Mom]
Once I was done reading I broke out crying. I know I'm not home very often, but how could she just leave? I suddenly felt John pick me up and his arms go around me. I instantly felt better. I knew that John wouldn't leave me. He started whispering soothing words in my ear. I couldn't help but notice the butterflies that started in my stomach.
Why now?
"Abby, what's wrong?" John asked once I calmed down. I didn't answer. "Abs, you needa tell me. You can't just start bawling and not tell me why. I mean I'm your best friend, come on!"
"My mom left." That's all I said and John already had me back in his arms. I was confused, why would Mom leave me?
Of course, this is also the time that Danielle decides to show up.
"I knew you were cheating on me with this whore. Why John, why? I thought we were good together." Everybody was looking at us now. Since the movie wasn't on yet we were there own entertainment.
"Danielle, I am NOT cheating on you! How many times do I have to tell you that for you to believe me?" John replied. I knew that he was getting mad because he was starting to tap his fingers, which were on my stomach. I'm extremely ticklish. So, when his fingers started tapping my sides, I started laughing. It was definitely not the best time to start laughing.
"See, she's laughing. She's laughing cause she thinks she won," she then looks at me. "This is not over." She leaves.
"GO BACK TO THE MOVIE. THERES NOTHING TO SEE HERE!" John yelled at everybody staring.
"John, go after her. You will lose her if you don't." He just shakes his head and berries it in my shoulder. He's not angry anymore. He's stressed out. I turned around so I was in back of him and started rubbing his back and shoulders. He instantly relaxed.
"Woah, what did we miss?" Creo asked. He, along with all our friends know I only do this when John's stressed out.
"Nothing," John mumbled.
"Danielle?" Creo mouthed to me. I mad a face that meant half half. He just shrugged at Brinley then climbed in to the bed with Brinley following. They settled down right as the movie started. Both John and I didn't pay attention to either movie. My mind keeps going over what my mom said. Why would she just leave? When I go home tonight my dad will be drunk and that never turns out good.
John's P.O.V
How could her mom just leave her? I know that they really didn't have a good relationship but still, How could you leave your daughter with two drunks??
Abby is not going to go home for a while by her self. She's rubbing my back and I think it's because of Danielle. I'm not stressed out about her, more because of Abby her self.
I can't believe her mom would do that to her. She is acting like my life is worse then hers right now, because of Danielle. I don't like it what she pays more attention to me then her self. She stops rubbing my back.
"My turn," I whisper in her ear. I then grab her and set her back down in my lap. I start rubbing her back for the last movie. I try not to notice the butterflies that I have started to get when ever I'm around Abby now and I'm around her all the time pretty much.
Constant butterflies.
