Abi was sat in the Mitchells living room waiting for Ben and Jay to get home from the Arches, they was due to be home in the next half hour, so Abi thought she'd pass the time by getting something to eat and watch some television and slowly dozed off on the sofa soon after.
An hour later she was awoken by somebody gently nudging her and saying her name "Abs? Abi?" she slowly fluttered her eyes open to see who it was.
"Jay?... what time is it?...wheres Ben?"
"Its just gone six and Ben had to be somewhere, he left work quickly earlier after recieving a text."
Abi sat there in silence, he was supossed to be going to the cinema with her that evening to treat her after getting him out of the police cell a few day days ago after being arrested for Lucy Beales murder. Jay looked at Abi after she didnt answer him.
"Abs... are you okay?"
"yea... i'm fine" she picked up her phone to see if Ben had tried to call her to cancel thier plans.. No calls or texts. What was he up to?
"Abs you can talk to me you know, listen i know we're not together anymore but i still care about you ya know" Jay sat down next to her and looked at her.
Abi looked at him, could she cofide in him? after all everytime she had a problem, he had in fact been there for her, unlike Ben everytime she tried to tell Ben about her problems, he'd try and make an excuse to get out of the house.
"Its nothing really... we were just supposed to go to the cinema tonight, he said it was a treat after getting him out of the police station a few days ago after i turned my dad in, he has'nt even called me"
"Well he might of forgot, you know what Bens like Abs"
"true... i might go and look for him at the Arches, he might have gone back for some reason" Abi headed for the front door grabbing her coat on the way.
Jay caught her hand just as she was about to leave.
"Abs wait..."
"whats up?" Abi wondered looking at him
"i never did thank you for what you did, if i was'nt for you getting Ben out it woul'nt have been long before they arrested me too"
"don't worry Jay your welcome" she then left the house smiling at Jay.
As she got closer to the Arches she heard voices, two boys, She'd recognised Bens voice straght away but she would have to listen to know who the other boy was.
She moved closer to the door to listen, "Thanks for meeting me so soon after i text you"
"Yeah no problem i had to see you, i missed you Paul." Ben replied
Abi was shocked, her mouth dropped open, she put her hand over her mouth just in case they heard her gasp, she carried on listening to the conversation.
"Listen Paul i can't stay long, i promised i'd take my girlfriend to the cinema later, we have to be quick"
"then lets get on with it?"
Abi heard Paul walk towards Ben and she peeked through the door, then her worst fears had been realised, she saw Paul kissing Ben passionatly. She'd trusted Ben after he told her she was all he wanted, and he'd lied through his teeth.
Abi had burst out in tears, she shut the door and walked off not bothering to make sure the door had shut quietly.
"What was that, is someone spying on us?" Ben stormed to the door of the Arches before Abi could get out of sight
"Abi what the hell are you doing here?"
Abi turned towards Ben and stared at him to shocked to move. she knew everything now and he was'nt going to lie his way out of this.
