Chapter 13- The New Boy

POV- Abby Tucker

I was walking down the hallway, out the doors of the school when I saw a face I recognized. It looked so much like my deceased brother, but it couldn't be. Then it came to me, it was Gale! Gale Nash. I haden't seen him since I'd left Frankenstein. I used to have a major crush on him back in the 7th grade when he was a friend of my brothers. He was a year or so younger than my brother, but we were neighbors. Why would he come here though? I ran outside till I got to where he was standing so awkwardly. Who would just stand in the middle of the grass looking at the mob of people coming from the school. "GALE!!!!!" He looked my way, and then found me while I standing 10 feet away from him. For a split second I took a glimpse in him eye, and I saw a sparkle. Soon we were both smiling at each other, and I ran up to hug him to death. After I made contact with him warm body, every flash back with him went through my head. We stood their hugging each other for about a minute, but it only felt like 15 seconds. While we were hugging, I remember the first time he came over to my old house. Then the kiss during truth or dare. To end off all out times together a tear came out of my eye while I thought of my brother buried back at Frankenstein. The day we all wore black, tears came from everyone. Weather they were family or not. Luke made everyone cry. I sat their in Gale's arms the whole day, crying my eyes out. And now it's happening again. He pulled back from the hug as another tear when down my cheek. His hands were on my shoulder, and then he whipped the fourth tear away as it rolled down my face.

"Hey, Cookie Bear. Don't cry," Gale said in a soft voice as he kissed me on the cheek. I started to cry even more, for the last person who called me Cookie Bear was my brother. Right before he left for his "team bonding party". I got the nickname because I loved cookies, and when someone tried to take it away from me I would growl like a bear. I haven't done it since. Just the thought of the name makes me feel terrible. I should have done something. I know I was young at the time, but anything would have helped.

"Why are you here?" I said confused, while trying to stop tearing up.

"I came back to see-"

"-WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON," Dakota said while pulling us apart. "So is this what you were hiding from me. YOUR CHEATING ON ME!"

"I'm not cheat-"

"-I don't' want to hear another word from you! Or as a matter of fact, I don't want to see you again! It's not like I didn't see you hug him, and kiss him! I'm not a retard Abby! Got that! Oh yeah, and don't ever come near my house again!"

"Dakota," I said going from happy/sad to depressed. I had to go after him. Before I could move, Tracy grabbed my arm and hugged me.

"It's okay sis. Don't worry. Everything will be fine," Tracy said as I started balling. Before I fell to the ground full of emotion, I heard tires skid out of the school parking lot and speed off.

"C'mon Abby, I'll take you home since I'm staying at your house," Gale said as he lifted me up from the ground and set me on my feet.

"Damion and I will meet you there," Tracy said as I somewhat stopped crying. I nodded my head, as Gale guided me to his car.

~~~~~~~~~

After a long drive it seemed, and more crying as I we passed Dakotas road we made it home. I got out of the car and ran into the house. Up the staircase, and thought a door, I was safe and sound in my room. I took down all the pictures, and put them into a neat pile upside down, so I wouldn't have to see his face. Soon enough sweet, old Gale came through the door and asked me how I was.

"I'm fine."

"No your not Abby. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have came to see you. I just wanted to catch up, and it's lonely back in Frankenstein. I missed your voice, your face, and your laugh. I had to come visit, but I didn't want this to happen. I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, it's all my fault. Not yours. Don't accuse yourself for this."

"You can do one thing," I said looking up with a smile. I looked at his eyes, then his lips, then back to his hazel eyes. He leaned down towards me, for he was much taller than me and we kissed. We kept kissing. He was just as good of a kisser when I kissed him on that dare. At such bad timing both Tracy and Damion walked in while I was enjoying the best kiss of my life. I had to say, Gale was by far a better kisser than Dakota.

"Oh, sorry to interrupt, but Abby can I talk to you?" Tracy said, while shooing Gale out of the room with Damion. I didn't want Gale to leave, I felt secure in his arms like my past was nothing. Like we were still in Frankenstein. I didn't get picked on, and my brother defiantly didn't die. When they were out, she closed the door making sure they wern't eavesdropping. "What's going on Abby!? Who is this newcomer that just magically shows up from no where?" She said whispering.

"His name is Gale, not newcomer. Gale Nash to be exact. I had a huge crush on when I went to Frankenstein. He was my first kiss, because we kissed on a dare. He was a huge friend of my brother, Luke. Okay, how's that for you."

"Why are you kissing him? Are you crazy, you know Dakota still likes you! He's not just going to leave you like that," Tracy said in a much louder tone than before.

"Dakota will probably come hurt him with his hypnotism power. If Dakota truly liked me he would have asked me out and we WOULD BE DATING!" I almost yelled into her face.

"If you would have gave him time, and let him take you on a date for once you probably would be dating! Have you ever thought of that! I had to let Damion take me to see Bambi when he asked me out. Instead your just going to hook up with this new guy like a slut, and when Dakota comes back you will break up with Gale and go straight back to Dakota! Wow, so was this all fake from the beginning. You didn't like Dakota, you were just lying?"

"Why would I have been lying? Do you think I'm not sad that he left me!!! Did you see me at school! I made a total ass out of myself! Just because I am that way, it's my nature! I didn't know Dakota would think I was cheating on him! You know what, just forget about it. We will play it by day, can I just talk to Gale?"

"Sure, talk to your lover boy. Don't expect me to help when you want Dakota back," Tracy said while she walked out the door calling Gale's name. I didn't hear a reply. She called for Damion. Nothing. We ran downstairs. Gales car was gone. Tracy got her IPhone out, and called Damion. He didn't answer. We just stood their pacing, but soon enough the car puled into the driveway. We ran outside to them.

"Get in the car now! Dakota got into a car accident!" Damion yelled out the window. I didn't say or do anything. I just stood their, and I didn't respond to anyone. Soon my mind when black and blank, I lost all control of what was happening. Gravity took control of me, and I fell to the ground.
