Pat found her? But that means I'll have to face him, I'll have to talk to him.

My legs go wobbly and I fall, but before I hit the ground someone catches me. When I breath in I immediately know it's Pat. I look up and see him looking at me intently.

"Can we talk?" He asks as I get to my feet. "Wh- why?" I ask. "Because we have to talk about something." He says. "Ok." I say.

Pat leads me upstairs to Scarlett's bedroom, never taking his arm from around my waist. When we go in he sits on the bed and pulls me down next to him.

"Abbi, you know I love you. I want you to give me another chance. I'll do anything." He says, but I just stay quiet. "Please." He begs.

"Why should I?" I ask in a shaky voice. "Because you're my world Abbi. Without you I'm broken. Please just give me one more chance to prove that to you." He says as a tear rolls down his cheek.

I lean over and wipe it away. "I love you Pat. Nothing will ever change that." I say as I lean over and give him a light kiss.

"But I can't take you back, not right away at least." I tell him. "Why not?" He asks in a shaky voice as tears start running down his cheek.

"Because you hurt me. You made me feel unwanted. And it'll take time for me to get over it, I might not." I say as a tear slips from my eye.

"I'll work for it then. I'll do anything." He tells me. "Well I hope it's good enough." I say as I stand up and walk out of the room.

I go into the bathroom and check myself in the mirror. My eyes are red. So I take out some concealer and cover it up. When I look again there's not proof left that I had been crying.

Then I go down the stairs and join the girls.

"What did you and Pat talk about?" Meredith asks. "Our relationship." I say.

"Well?" Haley asks. "Well what?" I ask back. "What is you're relationship status dummy? Duh." Scarlett says.

"I am officially single." I say an try to pull off a smile but fail miserably at it. "Are you fine with that?" Haley ask.

"Yeah. I'm the one who rejected him." I tell them. "You rejected him?" Scarlett asks.

"Yep. He tried to get me to take him back and I said no." I say. "That's hilarious! I would have loved to see the look on his face!" Scarlett says trying to hold back her laughter.

Just then Pat walks down the stairs and we all fall deathly silent. His eyes are all red and puffy from crying. He just keeps walking and goes out the front door.

"I think you really hurt him Abbi." Meredith says quietly. "I know, but it had to happen. If I just took him back he would think he could get away with anything. So I have to stay away so he can see I'm serious." I tell her.

"That's so true! To bad my boyfriend is better than yours! Well your old one." Scarlett says. "Wait you and Seth are dating?!" I practically yell.

"Yeah. Didn't I tell you guys that?" She asks. "No! You didn't" I yell. "When did y'all start?" Haley asks.

"Last night when I went over to his house." Scarlett says. "You went over to his house?!" I ask.

"Yeah. I needed someone to console me. It's not big deal. We're dating and we love each other. It's a normal thing." Scarlett says ending the conversation.

We just sit around talking for an hour then I check the time and it's already 9. So I grab my stuff and head for the door.

"Bye guys!" I yell. "Bye!" They yell back in unison.

I go to leave but then realize Haley drove me here so I just start walking home.

About 30 minutes later I finally arrive but the doors locked. I bang on it but my mom doesn't answer. Great she's probably not home. I walk over to where I'm under my window and climb up the vine. I push open my window and hop in.

But when I look around I realize that Pat is sleeping on my bed.
