Change; An Edwin Honoret Fanfiction

21 [UNEDITED]

Narrators POV

As Abigail led him onto the swinging chair in her backyard, what she secretly called her special place, Edwin flushed like he felt he always did around her.

"I like her" he sighed as he told Austin the day before the show in New York, marking it the first time he had said the words out loud "I just, ugh I don't know how to deal with it" he slumped onto the hotel lobby couch, getting weird looks from the security guard as it was three am, not knowing that at this time tomorrow he'd be locking lips with the girl.

Austin couldn't help but let a huge grin grow across his face as he sat next to his best friend, "You dated Tiffany forever Ed, how did you deal with that?"

Edwin looked towards his best friend for some sort of sign that he was doing the wrong thing, better yet feeling the wrong thing, but happiness was practically radiating off Austin. The blonde had already decided that getting up to talk to Edwin about "dumbass girls" was the best decision he'd made all week.

"It's different bro, she's.. different. Tif never... made me feel that much, she never had the same affect"

"Why don't I ask Abigail about her dream date tomorrow, maybe pretend that I wanna tell Fiffany I love her or something and ask for the ideal setting, and I can tell you what she says"

Edwin liked that idea, and so that's what Austin did. Austin had already had it all planned out how he'd tell his girl that he loved her, but nobody knew that but him.

As Edwin looked at Abigail now on the swinging chair, he smiled at the memory. He couldn't help but admire how she looked as the sun was setting beyond some trees behind her, but as Abigail caught his eye he forced himself to speak.

"You've been avoiding me" he said with a hurt tone, matching his hurt feelings.

Abigail mentally scolded herself as soon as she recognised that she'd hurt the boys feelings, she never intended that. Sure, she'd never cared how she made others feel but Edwin always managed to change that, he changed her.

It was at this point she knew, she couldn't tell him. She'd come out here with full intentions to, but hearing the hurt in his voice just now and knowing that her saying those three words could create more made it practically impossible.

Little did she know, Edwin had been daydreaming about that same moment just as she had, but for longer.

She remembered another thing that was on her mind, making her act, differently, so despite the fact that she hated opening up she decided to tell him about the depressing thoughts.

"No I haven't" she denied hastily, not wanting to hurt Edwin's feelings but not realising that but lying she hurt them even more.

With the hurt swirling in his eyes, he replied with, "then please tell me why you aren't replying to my texts, or answering my calls because I spent over a day wondering what I did wrong, was it the kiss? Because I've been hating myself over putting you through that. If that made you so upset you should have-"

"I'm depressed" the girl finally announced, "really fucking depressed"

Edwin sighs, feeling bad for immediately assuming her actions had anything to do with him. He overthinks a lot, something he always hated, and this is just one of those times.

He scoots closer to Abigail, to the point of which they're cuddling, in a way to comfort her.

"Why?" He whispers, careful not to hurt her further, as if she's as fragile as a weak leaf.

"I don't know, something must've triggered it" she replies softly, completely different to her normal tone. She treats him like he's fragile just as he does her, because they both fear hurting one another. "you won't get it and it's it's not very easy for me to explain but whatever triggered it is wearing me out emotionally" she takes a deep breath, and he notices she's on the verge of crying.

His immediate reaction is obviously making sure that she's comfortable talking about it.

"You don't have to explain if it's upsetting you, take your time baby girl" he reassured her, and his nickname sends adrenaline through her body.

"Edwin it's kind of scaring me, like it's gotten to the point where it's stopping me from going to the studio and the girls think I'm being lazy but I'm not trying to be lazy, it's just that i have
no motivation to succeed and i don't even know why it's happening which is why I'm so confused an-"

"Shh" he said, allowing them to just sit together in a peaceful but meaningful silence.

As Hanna walked into the kitchen as an attempt to find Abigail, she looked out the window and her eyes landed on the pair. She wondered how her best friend could be so stupid, why she wouldn't just tell him, but she had missed the conversation prior. Along with the anger this stirred, Hanna was a little tipsy.

With her patience wearing thin, she stormed outside and looked at the pair with wide eyes, Abigail began to shake her head vigorously and a crowd of people moved from in the house to outside, as if they just noticed the girls even had a backyard.

"You can't be serious" she scoffed.

"Hanna, don't do this now-"

"Then when? You're throwing away all of the amazing opportunities you have had to tell him" she points to Edwin, sending confusion throughout his body, "and you're blowing it.. Every. Single. Time"

Knowing that the situation was making Abigail uncomfortable, Edwin tightened his grip around her.

"Telling me.. what?"

Hanna chuckled to herself "That she likes you!"

In that moment, Abigail and Edwin both made a mental note that the Earth quite literally stopped. For Edwin, it was the good stop, like all of his daydreams has suddenly become a reality and he had to pinch himself to make sure this was even real.

For the girl however, this was bad. Not only had Hanna done this in such a public way -everyone heard, including the rest of our band and prettymuch- but this was her best friend, and she just broke her trust.

With tears beginning to swell in her eyes, Abigail got up without a word and ran to her room, leaving all the eyes on Edwin and Hanna.
