Never Again

Chapter 47: Discovery

Hey guys! It's really beautiful here in Ireland, but yesterday it was raining quite heavily, so I found some time to write. I hope you'll like it :)

She had her head on Abby's shoulder and stared at the TV, but she couldn't really keep up with what was going on. Her head was still thinking about other stuff and everything else just seemed so far away. Luckily Abby was here, because she had at least someone to talk to. Abby had showed up in the afternoon and had agreed to continue with what she was already doing. Watching stupid romantic movies and eating too much Toblerone and crisps, while washing it down with several beers and red wine. Yes, that sounded like a really healthy eating plan, but she couldn't care less at the moment.

'Asshole,' Keira yelled at the screen when the main character got unceremoniously dumped.

'You talking about Seb?' Abby grinned and tried to make light of the situation.

'Not at the moment, but he's an asshole too though,' Keira said while frowning.

'You can call him anything you want right now, get it out before you have to go back to work. Things can get nasty if you start calling him an asshole in the garage, you know,' Abby shot Keira a half smile and grabbed the bag of crisps out of Keira's hands.

'Give that back,' Keira yelled and she tried to grab the bag, but Abby was holding it high in the air so she couldn't reach it. 'You're an asshole too,' she muttered under her breath.

'Thanks, I'll remember that before I fly out next time you need me,' Abby tried to sound angry, but a smile was playing on her lips. 'Here you go,' she added and she handed the bag to Keira again.

'Thanks,' Keira smiled and she moved a little to sit more comfortably. 'He's just like Seb, I told you he had someone else. That was clear from the beginning,' Keira triumphantly pointed at the TV.

'OK fine, you've won. What did we bet on again?' Abby threw her head back and stretched her legs.

'Who was making us food tonight,' Keira chuckled. 'I'll allow you to order some food though, because you're such a good friend.'

'Pizza it is then,' Abby clapped her hands in excitement.

Keira laughed, she shouldn't have expected anything else. Not that she minded, she liked pizza, very much. The only thing was that it reminded her of Seb, they used to order pizza whenever Seb felt like cheating on his diet. She suddenly felt the sickness in her stomach again, it had gone for a while when Abby had tried to cheer her up, but it was starting to come back. She suddenly wasn't interested in the film anymore and the knot in her stomach tightened painfully whenever she thought of Seb.

'What's wrong?' Abby asked, as she had noticed the change on Keira's face.

'Nothing,' Keira answered while dodging Abby's eyes.

'Oh come on, I'm not stupid. You're thinking about Seb again, I can tell,' Abby said confidently and it looked like she had wanted to roll her eyes.

'It's just that I still don't understand. He doesn't look like someone who picks up random girls and then goes on to the next one. I've spent so many hours with him and it just doesn't fit,' Keira sighed and she put another handful of crisp in her mouth.

'Have you checked the internet yet?' Abby asked while opening another tablet of Toblerone.

'No, I was scared of what I was going to find. Maybe he is a massive playboy, I don't know. I don't even know if I want to know,' Keira said and she shrugged her shoulders.

Abby had an amused look on her face when she looked at her friend. 'Come on, I'll look and then decide if it's safe for you to know or not. Alright?'
