abbie's p.o.v

so i just found out that my character is dying on the season finale of the walking dead, great.

i acted like it didn't affect me once the directors told me the news. but in reality, i was freaking out. i will no longer going to be part of the show. and worst of all, i will no longer be living here in atlanta.

the show was the only thing keeping me here in atlanta. and now that that's over with, i'll have to move back to texas.

no more cast sleepovers. no more late night or early morning filming. no more premier parties. and worst of all, no more chandler.

we've never been apart. it's always been chandler & i. now it's going to be chandler, and me a few thousand miles away.

i have no idea how i am going to tell him. hopefully he won't overreact as much as me, and he'll make me come to my senses and come up with a great plan for us to stay together.

"abbie! guess who i just got done talking to on the phone." sally bursts into my room, a smile lingering on her lips. so i'm guessing she has good news. i really need them after what i just found out.

"um, i dunno. who?" i ask. she walks closer to me, still grinning as wide as ever.

"the creator of one of your favorite tv shows, jeff franklin, personally wants you to be part of fuller house!" sally says excitedly. a huge smile forms on my face, and my whole mood completely changes.

"so you're saying, that i'm going to be on season two of fuller house?" i ask, barely containing my excitement. sally smirks smugly, a proud look planted on her face.

"not just season two. he says, that if you accept, you'll be a series regular!" by now i don't contain my excitement, and just scream at the top of my lungs.

"oh my gosh, thank you so much sally!" i exclaim, hugging her very tightly. she rubs my back, and says, "it's all you kiddo."

"filming starts next month. just after you finish filming your last episode here." sally announces. her smile slowly starts disappearing, once she notices that mine was fading as well.

i had almost forgotten about the walking dead. and how much i would miss everyone. but i can't let that bring me down. well, atleast not sally. she's done so much for me, and all i've been doing lately is being bummed about every single little thing,

"this is all great news! thank you sally, for everything." i say once more. honestly, i can't thank her enough. it's because of her that i'm living my dream right now. "well, i need to go to chandler and tell him the great news!"

i grab my bad and begin to walk out the door. "abbie," sally says, causing me to turn back around. "have you told chandler the other news?" she asks. i shake my head. opening the front door and walking out with a small smile on my face.

i drive for a good teen minutes, then finally arrive at chandler's. i knock on his door three times, then wait patiently for him to appear. as soon as he realizes it's me, he opens the door.

"abbie? i didn't know you were coming." he says, a gorgeous smile laying on his lips. i don't even reply, i just immediately wrap my arms around him.

chandler doesn't question it, and just hugs me back even tighter. little things like this are the reasons why i feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

"i actually came here to talk to you about something." i tell him, unraveling my arms from his waist. chandler furrows his eyebrow, and he looks at me concerned.

"is there something wrong?" he asks.

yes.

"no, nothing big." i answer, grabbing his had and guiding him over to the couch. "it's just some news i thought I'd share with you."

"okay, shoot." he says. chandler takes my hand in his, and begins playing with it. i take a small breath before coming out with the news.

i decide that it's better to just rip the bandage off quickly. so i just plain out say, "so, i just found out my character is dying on the season finale."

chandler's hand stops moving, and he slowly raises his head so his eyes could meet mine. his icy blue eyes were staring straight into mine, no emotion in them. that was obviously awkward.

out of no where, chandler just bursts out laughing. i stare at him confused, very shocked at his reaction. "oh my abbie, that's a funny joke." chandler says, still laughing. "it's a joke, right abbie?"

i keep staring at him expressionless. and his laugh slowly begins to fade. i think he finally realized that i was not joking.

"so you're really leaving the show." chandler says, and i nod. "which means that you're-."

"yup, i'm leaving atlanta." i finish his sentence, already knowing what he was about to say. chandler's head drops, and he nervously scratches the back of his neck.

we sit in silence for a solid ten minutes, neither of us saying another word. those were probably the most suspenseful minutes i've ever been through.

but i don't blame chandler. we're so used to being with each other 24/7.  not a day goes by that we aren't together. not a day goes by without mine or his kisses. and now i'm just suddenly gonna leave. this was bound to happen, we just didn't think it would happen so soon.

"do you have to leave?" chandler asks, finally speaking up.

i look at him perplexed. "what do you mean? of course i have to leave. without the show, there's nothing to keep me from staying." i answer.

"me! what about me? i'm that something that's keeping you here. why would you leave? you're happy here, with me. do you really wanna ruin our relationship?"

"chandler!" i stop him. not very happy with his choice of words. "i'm not ruining the relationship. if anything, i'm here to keep it alive! i want still be with you, but if you're gonna blame me for this-"

chandler interrupts me by smashing his lips into mine. which, i gotta admit, is a great way to shut a girl up. after a few seconds, we both pull apart.

he looks at me in the eye and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "i love you abbie." he says, caressing my cheek. "and no matter what happens, i'm always gonna love you. and i will always be there for you, even if we're thousands of miles apart."

a huge smile finds its way to my lips, and i can't help but giggle. chandler's smile gets bigger, and he once again kisses me.
what was i so worried about ?
