New Start

13.

It was Isabella. "Tell me it's not true.." Abby looked at her with pleading eyes. "How could you just hide this from me. I spent all that time trying to get over him. You were there for me when he left and you just went behind my back and did that. I thought you were my best friend Isabella.." Abby could not even look at her. "I know. I'm sorry Abby. It meant nothing to me. It was my fault..You weren't answering your phone that night so he called me and it just happened. Abby please. Forgive me." Isabella just wiped away her tears. "I can't. I just can't. You broke my trust. I never want to see you again. You better be gone by tomorrow tonight. and whatever you had going on with my brother, forget about it. He doesn't deserve you." Abby walked away.

Abby walked to the only place she knew would be lonely. The beach. Where Jordan asked her to homecoming. Abby sat down in the sand. The wind was blowing, and she was lost in her thoughts. Abby was starting to get cold. Before Abby got the chance to get up she felt someone put their coat on her shoulders. It was Jordan. Jordan knew Abby would be here. "You don't have to say anything until your ready" Jordan sat down next to her. Abby was glad Jordan came to find her. Abby rested her head on Jordan's shoulder. She did not know how to continue talking to Jordan after what happened. Jordan was happy to be with Abby. He knew they still had a lot to talk about but whatever Abby decided on it was okay. Jordan just wanted Abby to be happy with or without him. Abby wanted to put a pause on her and Jordan's relationship. She knew what they had was good, so Abby did not want to mess it up with her feelings. Abby just needed time to process everything that had happened.

Abby grabbed Jordan's hand. "I'm sorry for what happened.." Before Abby could finish her sentence Jordan interrupted her. "Abby you have nothing to be sorry about. None of this was your fault. Im the one that's sorry. What Asher said about the bet it's true. I agreed to it. I wasn't planning on falling for you. When I started to like you I told Asher the bet was off. I know you need time to process everything, but I'm going to be here until your ready. I'll wait for you Abby. Now let me take you home. You need some rest." Jordan led Abby to his car. Abby did not say anything the whole car ride. She believed Jordan. Abby just needed time. Jordan arrived to Abby's house. Abby took of his coat and handed it to him. "Thank you Jordan." Abby gave him a kiss on the cheek and lightly smiled. Jordan went home worried about Abby.
Abby got home and saw her mom waiting for her downstairs reading a book. "Hey baby. Marco told me what happened" Alison looked at her with sad eyes. "I don't want to talk about it mom" Abby rushed upstairs to her room not letting her mom answer. Abby got out of her dress and went to sleep.
