Because of You

Chapter 4

Alan's POV

Why did I send that first facebook message? She intrigued me, there was something about her old zebra print bag that she carried around all the time and they way she was always who she wanted to be and yet someone that has a lot hidden. I only know she has a lot hidden because I know what it looks like to hide something. She can smile and make everyone laugh but not be happy. Laughing and smiling to hide the pain... 

Abby's POV

Feeling my phone vibrate I quickly check it to make sure it's not my dad, the last thing I want is to piss him off. A facebook notification saying Alan wants to be friends with me, then a message

*We need a nickname for you*

I smile and am quick with a response

*As far as I know Abby is a nickname*

his response makes me smile

*Yeah but you need something new, Abby is so 19th century*

*Good luck then, let me know when you think of something*

This conversation keeps going for hours we don't seem to stop texting we never run out of things to say, and somewhere in these next few day I am not sure if it is me wanting so badly for someone to care about me or the fact that he is so funny that me makes me happy for once... maybe it is a mix of both but that thing is I am ok with either one. If he is going to be ok with my "issues" then I will try anything.All I know right now is that he makes me forget that my dad seems to hate me and that feeling sick all the time is getting old and that things are kinda going downhill. And that is good enough for me.

Author's note: I know this is super sloppy but I will try and fix it but currently I am typing without my glasses or contacts and can't seem what the screen says... if anyone is actually reading this thank you I know that this sucks and is my first attempt at writing but I am trying so thank you.
