Last Night

Chapter 19: Showcase

Abby's pov

The day before my sixteenth birthday, October, 23 was the showcase I was in with Shawn. I in the auditorium with Shawn since the end of school. We've been practicing our four songs One of Those Nights, The Weight, Show You, and Life of The Party. a/n: which are actually Shawn Mendes' songs I do not own them I give him 100% credit for those amazing songs It was quarter to five so we had about an hour till we had to be on stage. We are performing first so the pressure is on. I told Louis not to show up until six because he hasn't heard the songs yet so it was going to be a surprise.

I was standing on stage just finishing a sound check at ten till six and Louis walks in. I jump down and hug him. He kisses me and I kiss him back. No one is in there but stage crew, Louis, Shawn and I so Louis sits in the front row while Shawn and I tune and play through some simple cords on our guitars. Slowly people start filing in and we get off stage. I'm sitting on the edge of the stage with my guitar around my neck when my parents walk in. Louis follows my gaze and sees them. He walks over to me and gives me a pep talk. "Don't worry about them. You'll do fine. Harry, Zayn, Rebekah and I are sitting in the front row and we're going to cheer you on. You'll be amazing with Shawn. I love you." he said as I smiled and kissed him and went back stage with Shawn.

Our principal welcomes everyone and introduces the first act, Shawn and I. I hug him and we walk on stage and I can hear Louis screaming "I love you!" I smile like an idiot while Shawn introduces us personally and tells everyone that my birthday is tomorrow and everyone starts to scream. He half hugs me and says the names of the four songs we were going to perform. The lights go down and I take a deep breath and begin to play with Shawn. I was really nervous but with in the first few bars of our first song The Weight I get really siked and start playing and singing a lot better and with more passion. Louis' face lit up, I had forgotten that he had never heard me sing.

When we finish all four songs the audience goes wild. I had always loved that feeling. All of a sudden Shawn says into the mike "Alright now I have a special surprise for my partner in crime for her birthday. Can I have Louis, Harry, Zayn and Rebekah up hear with me?" and the four of the jump up on stage and introduce themselves and Shawn starts playing my favorite song. When my five favorite people start singing I literally started to cry. Louis walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist I start laughing and he spins me around and kisses me and everyone starts screaming. When they finish the song the six of us exit the stage and sit together in the front row. We were short a seat so I sat on Louis lap and watched the rest of the showcase.

I felt so loved being with all these people who care about me but it all changed when my parents came up to me after the showcase. They said that they were proud of me but I just walked past them. I was  convinced that they wouldn't bring me down but when they followed me to Louis car and wouldn't stop harassing me I felt really upset. The six of us met in a dinner for some victory pancakes because I'm addicted to pancakes and Louis so it was a win-win for me. Louis and I shared some pancakes in the same booth we sat in and shared some food weeks ago. Zayn and Taylor broke up so he was in a funk but we made him bounce back and we all had fun.

Louis' pov

I was so happy to be with Abby and all our friends and I could tell that she was having fun too. When we left the diner we didn't want to go home so the six of us walked around the city. I had my arm wrapped around Abby's waist and when it wasn't around her waist it was intertwined with her fingers.

We found ourselves intertwined in the queen size bed. Abby looked at me and gazed into my eyes as she said "You're my everything and I love you so much." I smilled and kissed her. She granted my tounge access in her mouth and her hands traveled up my chest and landed on the sides of my face as my hands worked down to her waist. I picked her up and planted her in my lap and we kissed. I slipped my t-shirt off and she allowed me to take hers off. She started playing with the buckle of my pants and she got off me to take hers off and for me to take mine off. She sat back on my waist and we continued to kiss. I heard soft moans come from her lips as we kissed.

We were missing passionately when my phone started ringing. Abby pulled away from me and said "Maybe you should answer that." I looked at her and said "Stay there..stay....stay...good girl." and she started laughing. I got out of the bed in my boxers and answered the call from an unsaved but familiar number. I answered it and said "Hello?" the person on the other end replied and greeted me. I soon recognized the voice. It was my old friend in England. I wanted to make him feel important since I haven't talked to him in forever so I said "Hey lad how are you?" he replied.and we had a nice conversation but I ended it quickly and went back to kissing Abby.

To be honest she was my one and only and I would seriously do anything for her...take a bullet, become a mass murderer, step in front of a moving vehicle, be a drug dealer, anything. Kissing her took me to a whole new world. Nothing could come close to the feeling of being with her. She was my drug, I needed her, I craved her like smokers crave nicotine.

Abby pried her lips off of mine and I just stared at the swollen and red lips of my angel. She rubbed her thumb over my lips. She got under the blankets and rested her head on my chest. I wrapped my arm around her and she closed her eyes. I ran my thumb across her arm as she drifted off into a deep sleep. Once she was asleep I turned on the tv and when I was almost asleep I got a text. It was from the same unsaved number and it said Hey man we should hang out. I'm coming to America soon. I replied to the text and went to sleep.

Abby's pov

I woke up the morning of my birthday in a pant due to the distinctive and horrid dream I had. Louis and I were tied to a support beam in a familiar room...my basement. My mom and dad surrounded us and taunted us sending threats and hitting us. My dad got a pistol from somewhere and my mom untied me and stood with me in front of Louis as my dad out the barrel to Louis' head. I screamed and cried but they just told me to shut up and then he pulled the trigger and I woke up. It was 5:30am and all I wanted to do was take a long shower so that's what I did.

I let the hot, steamy water droplets call down my body as I stood there with my eyes closed in peace...in quiet...in my own world. After taking a long peaceful shower I wrapped my towel around my body and went back into the room. I put on Louis' sweatshirt and layed in bed for a while until Louis woke up.
