The image of Abby looking so broken when I pulled back has haunted me all night. I really want to tell her everything but I'm afraid that she'll think I am crazy and leave and I can't have that.

I opened my eyes hoping to see her next to me but frowned when the bed was empty. Please tell me she hasn't left me. I'll go crazy yet again.

I jumped out of bed and ran out of the room. I checked every room but there is no sign of her and I'm worried. I ran down the stairs and let out a sigh of relief when I heard her laugh from the kitchen. I walked in and frowned when I saw Abby with yesterday's clothes on.

Kyle turned around to smile at me but Abby didn't make eye contact which made me worried. She walked around the kitchen and avoided me at all costs. I've messed up already.

A phone went off just as Kyle served the food and left to get it, leaving us alone. I didn't know what to say.

I watched her as she placed her empty plate in the sink and shrugged her jacket on "are you okay?"

She didn't look at me as she spoke "I'm fine" I know she's not.

"are you leaving?" she nodded her head as I followed her out of the kitchen "I'm meeting up with Jake then I have to go into work"

I grabbed her hand and turned her around "what's wrong?" she pulled her hand away from mine "I told you I'm fine but I really have to go"

I leant in to kiss her cheek but she pulled back "bye" with that she walked out of the front door.

I turned to Kyle who was sat on the couch "what did I do?"

He locked his phone and placed it on the coffee table "she thinks you're not into her that way"

I sat down opposite him "why would she think that?"

He gave me a look "every time you're close to kissing you pull away and she thinks she's getting the wrong message"

I sighed "I really want to kiss her but I don't want to until she knows" Kyle nodded his head and stood "I understand but if you take too long you're gonna lose her"

He patted my shoulder before walking away "I've been called into work so I'll be late back tonight" I nodded my head as I followed him out of the room and walked into my own.

I took a brisk shower, got dressed and thought I might have a little chat with her dad.

Once I walked into the building the receptionist's eyes widened as she stood up "Mr. Styles you're not welcome here" I ignored her as I walked into the elevator pushing the top button.

I'm not surprised she remembers me.

Shortly after the accident I went on a rage and took my anger out on her dad and a few security guards had to throw me out to stop me from killing him.

I stepped off the elevator and walked down the hall until I reached his door. I didn't knock, I just opened the door and walked in. he looked up from his work in alarm before shaking his head.

"back again Harry" I clenched my hands at my sides as he stood up "what brings you here this time?"

He walked around his desk but still kept a reasonable distance between us "you know exactly why I'm here Richard"

He crossed his arms and leant back on his desk "enlighten me Styles"

"Abby's alive" his eyes widened slightly before he stepped forward "she's dead because of you"

"stop with the lies Richard" I stepped closer "we all know you're lying"

"she doesn't remember you at all" he had a smirk on his face that I really wanted to punch "she can finally have the life she deserves"

"everything about it is a lie! Jake? Really?" he shrugged his shoulders "he doesn't want his father to know he's an embarrassment so I compromised"

I stepped closer so we were face to face "she knows something is wrong"

he smirked "and she won't know a thing"

I stepped back slightly before I kill him "what are you going to do? Send some of your men to kill me? Because that's gone perfect before"

"does she know about you? Does she know you were using her to get to me?"

I bit my lip in frustration but said nothing. He laughed "you never told her that you've been using her for years"

I stepped forward "I left as soon as I knew I was in love with her, it wasn't a lie"

He grabbed the collar of my shirt and pushed me into the wall "you stay away from my daughter or I'll kill you" I spat in his face "you mean send your men to do your dirty work"

I pushed him off me "does Abby know what you really do? Does she know that this job is a cover up?"

He growled and tried to punch me. I knew it was coming and ducked just in time. I stood up straight and landed a punch on his jaw. I grabbed his neck and pushed him into the wall. He punched me but it didn't affect me as I pushed him further into the wall.

Just as I did the door opened and two security guards ran in and my eyes widened when Abby did as well. They pulled me away from him but my focus was now on Abby who looked scared.

The security guards dragged me out but I struggled "let me go!" I looked over to Abby who had tears in her eyes "wait Abby!" it was too late as the two guards brought me into the elevator.

I can't remember if I already mention Abby's dad's name so if I had please let me know.
