| Chapter Seven I walked out of the restaraunt and headed back to the hotel. Once I got there, I headed for Dawn's room. I knocked on the door and waited for her to answer. The door opened. "Dawn, I," I suddenly said. Scott stood there. "I'm Scott," he said, pointing to himself. "Duh," I said, leaning against the doorframe. "I just expected her to answer the door. Anyways, do you know where Abs is?" He thrust his thumb behind him and I looked over his shoulder. Abs sat on one of the neatly made beds, looking at me. "Can we talk?" I timidly asked. He thought for a second and nodded. "I'll be back later," he told Scott as he joined me. Scott nodded and shut the door behind him. Abs and I walked next to each other, my arms crossed in front of me and his hands were thrust into his pockets. We silently walked together to our room and I unlocked the door and walked in. I sat on the bed and he sat next to me. "Um," I said, to break the silence. Abs looked over at me. I was so in love with those eyes. "I know why you're mad at me." I picked at the comforter I was sitting on. I looked back up at Abs who was watching me. "I don't know what to say. The situation between Rob and I was totally different than the one with you and me." "How?" Abs finally spoke. I reached over and took his hand, the first time I had touched him in almost three days. "Abs," I started. "I am so in love with you right now, it hurts. I have never experienced this before. I thought I was in love with Rob, but I obviously wasn't. I would never, and I truly mean this, never hurt you like that." "You did hurt him," Abs replied. "As much of an ass as he was or could be, you did that to him. I know it was wrong of me to kiss you that night at the party." "Abs, if you hadn't have kissed me that night, we might have never gotten together," I said, letting go of his hand defensively. He kind of shrugged a bit. "I can not believe we are having this conversation!" I cried, standing. "Whitney, I.." Abs said, standing as well. "No, you know...?" I interrupted him. "I ran into Simon the other day. He offered me a new contract. A solo career back in the states. I have the next week to make a decision, and you know what? Everytime I talk to you the offer looks better and better." With that I stormed out the door, leaving Abs speechless behind me. Chapter Eight... |
