Its already 12:30 AM when I heard a car stop in front of our house. I heard footsteps coming at the front door.
Keys dangling
"Damn it . Why do you need to be so drunk?" I heard an annoyed female voice which doesn't belong to Lou. My eyes widened. I quickly stand up and open the door.
I saw a woman half-carrying Lou. She has a black hair which pulled to messy bun and a dark brown eyes. Her high cheekbones and perfect nose was covered with light freckles. Her full mouth was colored in deep red. The woman looked at me with wide eyes. "Uhh- Uhmm... Hi" she stammered. Lou settled down with this?
"Who are you?" I asked. I hope she didn't hear the hatred in my voice.
"My name is Abigail. Abby for short. Uh- Lou got many drinks so I took her home." the woman- Abby- said. I looked at her. Judging her oh so gorgeous outfit. My god who wouldn't fall to this woman in front of me? She is like a model from the magazines.
She cleared her throat. Lou groaned and leaned toward to Abby more. "Let me help you." I offered. "Thank you." she whispered. She gently draped Lou's other arm to my shoulders. We went to the nearest couch and put Lou there. Once she settled, I look at Abby. She was fixing Lou's messy from her face. I could feel my jealousy coming out. Once she fixed, she looked at me.
"You must be Debbie." she stated.
"I am. Why?" Did Lou talked about me? I wanted to asked.
"Nothing. Do you need help in Lou? I could help putting her to her room. I cou-"
"No. I got this." I said through a smile but I know that my voice is firm and hard.
"Oh. Okay." she seemed surprise. "Well, tell Lou that I'll take care of her bike."
"Where is it? Her bike?" I asked.
"She left it at my house. But don't worry, I promise to bring it here tomorrow."
She spent her whole day at her house?
"Sure." I said.
"Well I got to go now."
I nodded and showed her the way out.
Before I close the door, she looked at me again and said, "You know, she's just scared." then quickly left before I could ask what.
I half-carried Lou to her bedroom and helped her change her clothes. I was putting her to her bed when she suddenly said, "She got beautiful eyes. Beautiful, soulful eyes". Was she talking about Abby?
"Mhhm" is all I said. I quickly draped her blanket on her and went out.
Its over. Someone already got her. I din't cry this time. I feel... empty.

Abby kept her promise and brought Lou's bike here. Lou was still asleep so I handled it.
"Thank you for bringing her bike here. Also thank you for bringing her back last night." I said but I know I don't sound grateful.
She looked at me as if she want to say something but she settled with "No problem. Just let Lou know to call me when she wake up."
Like hell I would."Sure."
She smiled and said, "Well I need to go now. Bye."
I nodded and went inside. After a couple of minutes, I heard Lou getting down.
"Hey!" I greet.
"Oh shit." She grimace. "Please don't yell." she added. She slumped on couch and murmured about not gonna drink too many drinks again.
