Title: Forever Broken

Characters pairings: Stephen/Abby

A/N: it starts from the secret that Stephen and Helen shared and then a Stephen/Abby talk... another STABBY fic!


THAT Scene From S1 E6

"Shut up, Helen" Stephen hissed.

"Oh, you mean you never told him?...Oh dear" Helen said, looking at a very surprised Nick. Stephen looked at his old friend and then to Helen.

"What an extremely awkward moment" Lester commented as everyone was silent

"You see, I don't want to be on my own any more. You once said you'd do anything for me if I gave you the chance. Well, here it is. Come with me" Helen said walking towards Stephen.

Stephen looked over at Nick and saw him looking down, he also noticed Abby had turned away from him and everyone else.

"Don't do this" He said looking back at Helen

"Falling for one of your students is never a good idea, but…sometimes these things just happen, you know" Helen said smiling that evil smile of hers.

"How could you keep that from me, for so many years?" Nick asked finally looking back up and looking straight at Stephen

"There was no point in saying anything. It was a long time ago, in the past" Stephen said approaching Nick

"The past has a habit of coming back these days, doesn't it?" Helen commented from behind Stephen.

"Well? Are you coming?" Helen asked. Stephen looked over at Nick, his oldest friend.

"You know what I'd forgotten Helen? Sometimes you can be a real bitch" Stephen said before turning around and walking away.

Helen smiled at Stephen, and then turned to Nick. She turned and walked back through the anomaly.

Later That Day

Abby walked into her office, slamming the door behind her. Stephen rushed in from behind her, opening her door and then closing it behind him.

"Abby," he pleated, "can we talk about this?"

"Talk about what? How you slept with Cutter's wife!" She yelled, a few tears running down her face.

Stephen cupped her face in his hands and wiped the tears off her face, "Helen used me and-and I never loved her... I love you," He whispered.

She shook her head, "Listen Stephen, I've had a few boyfriends before and they've all hurt me... and I promised myself that I'd never go out with any boy who hurt me," She sighed angrily, shaking his hands away from her face, "I can't believe that I thought you would be different"

"I am different!" he pleated again, a tear running down his face but he didn't bother to wipe it off, "Please... just give me another chance"

Abby breathed in deeply and shook her head, "I-I'm s-sorry," Abby walked past him and out of the room, wiping the tears now streming down her face. She ran out of the Ark and to her car where she started to sob. She closed her eyes and felt her forever broken heart brake even further.
