"I need you more than my next breath.." He said to me.
"Don't say that, John. I have to do this."
"No, you don't!"
"This isn't easy!"
"If it's not easy, then don't do it."
"You will always be my first love, John." I said while cupping his face in my hands.
"You'll always be mine.." He said, while holding me.
" I love you. Please remember that."
"I don't want to have to remember. I want to be loved by you. Right now. Forever."
"Bye, John." I said, while removing his arms from my waist, and walking away.
-end of flashback-
That, was 4 years ago.
My name is Abigail Jensen. The boy I broke up with 4 years ago? John O'Callaghan. Yep, THE John O'Callaghan.
"So, Abby? You gonna visit them or not?" Crystal said to me.
Oh, right! I'm 22 years old, and I live with my two best friends, Crystal and Brittany. Together, we are the ABC's.
I did not come up with that. One of our friends did.
Anyways. The 3 of us have been best friends since Kindergarten. We've been inseparable since.
"I don't know." I replied to Crystal's question.
"Yes, you do. Remember Tim? Or Eric? Or Jared? Or Pat?" Brit asked.
"Right." I replied.
Tim, Eric, Jared, Pat, John and us ABC's were good friends in High school.
Eric and I were the closest, so I couldn't not meet up with him.
Yeah, there were loads of times when the boys were off tour, and came home. But whenever they did, us three girls were never in town. It was weird.
So this time, we planned on spending as much time with the boys, before they leave again.
"What are you gonna say to John?" Brit asked.
"What am I supposed to say?" I asked.
"I don't know, but you have to visit them!" She said.
"I know, and I will."
From the four years that they were on tour, John and I didn't speak for 2. It was too awkward.
Then one day, when we were both online, he started a conversation and told me he didn't want me out of his life, and I agreed. We talked occasionally, but that was all.
Eric and I, however, talked almost every day. We were closer than Brit, Crystal and I. It was odd, but we just connected as soon as we met. I even had a slight crush on him before, while having a crush on John. It was very complicated, since the two of them were BFF's. But, Eric didn't make a move, and soon I got over him. John, however, flirted non-stop. I never got over him, and we ended up being each other's first love. We dated for 2 years, until he left.
The thing is, he didn't want to leave. That's why I broke up with him. He said he didn't want to leave me behind, and I couldn't let him throw away such an amazing opportunity for me. So, I broke up with him. I didn't want to, but I knew if I didn't, then he would've stayed.
The next day, was the day we visited the boys. I, as usual, was the first to be ready. I threw on my black skinnies, a very floral patterned light blue top and light blue converse. Yes, I like the color blue. It's pretty.
"You ready, Abby?" Crystal asked, while popping her head in my room.
"Yep."
"Well, Brit and I aren't."
"You're telling me this why?"
"Just because."
"Just go get ready!" I said, while pushing her out of my room and walking to the living room.
Crystal was a dork. Definitely. But we love her.
I plopped down onto the sofa, and turned on the tv. Just then, the doorbell rang. Everyone loves interrupting my lazy time.
"Who is interrupting my lazy time? All I ask for is a little time for being lazy. Can't even get that!" I grumbled, while walking to the door, and opening it to reveal an amused Mr. Halvorsen.
"Eric bloody Halvorsen." I said, while jumping into his arms, as he picked me up and spun.
"Damn, I've missed your whining!" He said, while putting me down.
"Come in!" I said while pulling him inside, and closing the door.
"How the hell have you been?" I asked, while leading him to the sofa.
"Good, good. And you?" He said, while plopping down. "Damn, this is a comfortable couch. I see why you were whining."
"Yeah. And I've been good, bro." I said, while leaning against Eric.
"Where are the girls?" He said, while putting an arm around me.
"Still getting dressed. You know how they are."
"Ah, yes. I've missed you, Abby."
"I missed you too, buddy."
"ERIC JAMES HALVORSEN." We heard an excited Brit scream, while running down the stairs, and jump onto Eric's lap.
"Damn, girl!" Eric screamed.
"How dare you not say Hi!"
"Hi, Brit." He said, while smiling. "Get off me, before I throw you down." He joked.
"Whatever." She said, while getting off Eric and sitting on my lap.
"You girls are weird." Eric said, while staring at me hugging Brit.
"ERIC!" Crystal screamed, while jumping onto his lap.
"Holy crap, Cris!" Eric screamed, while we all burst out in laughter.
"'Sup, bitch?" She said, while kissing his cheek.
"I swear, I will throw you onto the floor, Crystal."
"Buzz-kill." Cyrstal stated, while getting off Eric.
"So, let's go?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, sure. Eric, how'd you get here?" I asked.
"Walked. Your parents gave me the directions. They always loved me." He said, while smiling proudly.
"Whatever. We'll take my car then." I said, while turning off the tv, followed by Brit getting off me and heading for the door.
This was going to be one hell of a visit.
