Unexpected Love

Chapter 9 - When the past comes back to haunt you

It's been 2 weeks since i arrived in San Antonio, it's been a good fortnight. Me and Austin are getting on good, work is really busy but atleast i'm getting money out of it. Mum had a date with a guy called Rhys a few nights ago, she didn't come home till two in the morning so i guessed it was a good night. It seemed weird that she was dating but i was okayy with it I guess. Snoopy went and got his first jab a couple days ago but he didn't like it, no wonder, who would like getting a injection in the first place? they're sore.  So there hasn't been any big drama's or anything since i came here, well that what i thought until last night happened.  

*Last night*

I was at work and my shift was nearly over. It was quarter to 9, only 15 minutes till i can leave. I was cleaning up table 17 when someone shouted.

Voice: Waitress?

I turned around seeing a guy looking at me, i couldn't believe my eyes, it couldn't be him, could it? I just ignored the questions that were going around in my head and helped the guy.

Abigail: Yes sir? is there something i could help you with?

Guy: yes, the other waiter gave me the wrong bill 

Abigail: Sorry sir, i will just go and get the right bill for you.

I looked at the table number and went away with the wrong bill and went to collect the right bill. I walked back to the guy's table and handed him the right bill.

Abigail: here is the right bill, sir

Guy: thank you miss

I was about to turn away so i could finish cleaning my table but he grabbed my hand.

Guy: have i seen you somewhere before?

Abigail: i don't think so sir, now may i ask you to let go of my hand please?

Guy: sorry, it's just you seems so simailar to someone i'm trying to find

Abigail: thank you, who are you looking for exactly? 

Guy: a girl, she's called Abigail Lucas

I stoned out, it was me he's looking for, it must be him, not again, please? i just got over what he done to me and moved on, why now?.

Guy: do you know her?

i come back to reality when he asked the question, i lied, i had to, i didn't want him to know it was me, i didn't want him to do anything to me again.

Abigail: No, i couldn't say i have, i'm sorry, why are you looking for this person?

Guy: because i want to tell her that i found help and i'm better now

Abigail: oh well i hope you find your friend, i have to get back to work sir

i turned around and finished cleaning table 17 and finished my shift at Olive Garden and walked home. On the way home i had questions going through my whole head, 'he didn't regonize me? you found help and he's better now, what does that mean? does he want to break my heart again to feel good about himself? why can't he just get out of my life? why can't he just go die?'

I got home and just went to my bedroom,i changed into my pajamas and went and lied on my bed. I kept tossing and turning, still worrying and still questioning myself. Just when i was about to drift away to sleep, my phone vibrated, i had a message. I couldn't be bothered answering it but i thought it would take my mind off what happened at the restuarant. I opened my phone and saw a text from Austin, i got a big smile across my face, i always do when he texts me. I opened the text and it read:

"Austin: Hey, bored stiff over here? wanna hang out? oh wait you might be at work,if you are, just leave it Abi, sorry(:"

I laughed at myself, i bet he kept hesitating about sending that, he's cute when he blappers on like that. Well he's cute all the together, anyway, I texted him back.

"Abigail: hey Austin(:  it's okay i just got home from work, in my pajamas now though :( you can come over 

here if you want and we can do something here if you like?(:"

We kept texting and he's said he'd be over in a few. I quickly tidied my room and waited for Austin. Before i knew it Austin was round. 

We talked and watched a movie that night, nothing really exciting happened, i guess i was still worrying myself of what happened at work. When Austin left, i went to bed and fell asleep and dreamed.

*In the Dream, a flashback*

Noah: Your so stupid, your fuck ugly and a total loser!

Noah started punching Abigail, punching her in the side and stomach.

Abigail: Noah! Stop it!

Noah: Why should i? you deserving this!

Abigail: How do i deserve this?

He kept beating her.

Noah: Because your a slut!

Abigail: Noah!! Stop!

He didn't stop beating, he stopped when she fell to the ground, when she wasn't moving.

*End of dream, End of flashback*

I woke up screaming, panting with horror, scared of the fact he was back, petrified that he was here in San Antonio, that he was looking for me to abuse me again. Noah was here!
