Abigail was having a very stressful day.
She brushed back her long brown hair with her hand and sighed, as she thought about her unfinished psychology essay that she was meant to hand in by Tuesday, it was currently Monday night. Abigail sighed loudly again and turned the key for her apartment, the loud 'click' breaking the dreary silence of her dorm corridor.
She walked in and absorbed her surroundings; odd socks littered the floor with a few bottles of sprite and three empty cartons of cookie dough ice cream. The quiet sound of sobbing emerged from under three fluffy blankets, and a hiccup was heard now and again.
Abigail quickly removed her trainers at the door, splattering mud across the floor, then walked over to the large maroon coloured couch, poking the blankets.
She leaned over slightly."Maria, is that you?"
A small sniff was heard and Maria's hand emerged from the blankets to grab another tissue from the coffee table next to the couch, as her other hand was occupied with her phone, she blew her nose loudly with one hand, and then Abigail managed catch the words "He died" through Maria's sobs.
"Who, Maria? Was it a family member?" Panic flooded through her.
A brown head emerged along with her phone from underneath the blankets, her face was tearstained but smiling, "No, it was this boy in my glee episode. His name was-"
Abigail quickly interrupted. "Oh my gosh you scared me, I thought something serious had happened," she rolled her eyes playfully. "Have you seen Annie?"
Suddenly a swish of blonde was seen, and then Annie emerged from their small kitchen with a piece of chocolate that then disappeared into her mouth. "Oh hey Abi, how are you?"
Her pale face was clear of blemishes and marks, and her olive eyes twinkled.
"Well Miss Baker said that any essays that are not handed in by Monday would not count for our final grade." Abigail sighed then began to walk to her room.
Marias head popped up from underneath all the blankets, her short brunette hair swinging slightly.
"Holy sh*t, I'm fudged" she cried before flopping straight back down onto the soft pillows that wrinkled under the powerful impact, Annie rolled her eyes but a smile was seen playing on her lips.
Abigail went to her room whilst saying, "If anyone needs me I'm in here." then promptly shut the door.
She breathed deeply and then jumped into the shower, she allowed the hot water to run through her hair when suddenly the thoughts of him flooded her memory.
Abigail flopped on her bed and then reached for her phone flicking through the snapchat stories. Abigail found herself clicking on her exes' story, knowing that it would just upset her it was like it was a magnet.
Her Ex, boy who went by the name Jackie, his messy black hair always stood up no matter the hair product, he was tall and had the face structure of a Greek god, his eyes were brown with a sparkle that twinkled whenever he smiled. A few years ago their relationship seemed unbreakable, they were 'relationship goals', the cute couple that people wish they were, the two that usually grow up together because they weren't just 'boyfriend' and 'girlfriend' they were best friends, their relationship started in year nine and tragically ended first year of college.
She flicked through his story, multiple girls in each picture with a different caption. She abruptly stopped after recognizing one of the girls. The copper hair and geeky glasses might deem her as unpopular and a nerd, but if you looked beyond stereotypes could see a mischievous smile, freckles that were scattered lightly over the bridge of her nose and sparkling brown eyes they made her look more gorgeous than any silicone could. His arm was lazily placed across her shoulders, his signature smirk played on his lips as he glanced playfully at Ellie.
Ellie the girl who was starring in the picture was the girl he cheated on Abigail with. She shut her phone and pinched the bridge of her nose breathing heavily, she sat up feeling the familiar pricking sensation behind her eyes, then grabbed a pillow clutching to her chest.
A tear slipped down her face.

"Hey Jackie, I got us piz-"
The light switched on, he was shirtless and so was Ellie, they were laying on the bed in a 'compromising' position.
Ellie sat up quickly and grabbed a blanket to cover her exposed skin. She blushed and then waved at Abigail "I'm sorry for us to meet like this I'm Ellie, Jackie's girlfriend, and you must be Jackie's cousin?" Her embarrassed grin faded when she saw Abigail's furious expression.
Abigail became redder by the second "I'm his girlfriend, not you" her voice became dangerously low.
"What? Jackie, WHAT THE HELL?"
"Abigail, Ellie" his voice cracked. "I swear its not what it looks like" Ellie visibly began tearing up, she picked up her top and then slowly made her way outside whilst putting it on, and before she stepped outside she said "Jackie, I hope we can talk this over." Then shut the door with a slam.
The door closed behind her and Jackie began "Abigail, look I'm so sorry, you don't understand it was a one time thing at a party then she kept calling" he looked in her eyes "You know that I love yo-"
"Don't you dare say that" her voice was quiet and calm.
"I love you Jackie, you're my best friend, everything I ever wanted was you" her voice cracked on the last word her hair was wild and her face contorted with pain, "Thanks, Jackie, thanks." she turned on her foot and left with a slam of the door.

Abigail didn't realise she was crying by the end of her painful memory, there was a small knock on the door.
"Abigail, you ok?" Maria poked her head around the door. When she set eyes on Abigail she sat besides her and hugged her until her crying had subsided handing her tissues now and again, "Now what's wrong?"
Annie walked in and handed Abigail a bowl of double chocolate ice cream with a spoon and then gave Maria a bowl of cookie dough ice cream. "Thanks Annie, now Abi what's wrong?" she coughed slightly and shook her head her eyes still puffy from crying. Annie sat down next to Abigail, gave her a hug and rubbed her back and slowly got up and dragged Maria with her, who began to protest the followed her.
Abigail was grateful for the space, and then grabbed her ice cream and slowly started finishing it. She then decided to talk to Niamh, a really pretty brunette with big hazel eyes who was quite sporty. The phone rang twice before a clear voice, which signalled that it was only going to be voicemail, rang through before she closed her phone and decided to have an early night.
His face was the last thing she saw before she fell asleep.
