Abbys POV

I've seen things unreal and now I'm freaked sure it was in Cuba but it could happen here too right? Right! For the first time in a whole long time I Abigail Lincoln am scared to the bone.

I'll never be the same again… my friends will notice and try to ask me about it and I know I need to vent this out to someone…Nigel? No he'll over react! Hoagie? Maybe I do like him…a lot. Kuki? She'll over react too. Wall…uhg no!

So Hoagie it is than! He'll probably come in soon maybe even today. Ah!! What in the world was that!? Oh see it's just Hoagie! See told you Hoagie was going to be the one that confronts me!! Well how will I say this?

"Hey Abby um…the guys told me to ask you Nigel wanted to ask what's wrong, Kuki wanted to ask if you were sad and Wally asked what the crud is wrong with you? I want to ask are…you okay?" He asked sweetly he looks so worried!

"Well I only can tell you…Nig and Kuk will freak out and Wally won't get it…Okay while I was in Cuba I…my mom she…she got murdered and…" I burst out crying.

"Hey…hey…it's okay you don't have to tell me…" Hoagie told me.

"B…but I want to tell you!! It's just…I will never be the same…" I sobbed in his chest.

"Wait…did this bozo hurt you? If he did…" I heard his voice tense up and looked at him teary eyed.

Hoagies POV

And I bet you won't guess what happened next heck I know I wouldn't! She looked at me with tears in those beautiful eyes and I just melted. To think I used to like Cree and never saw what was right in front of me! Hey that rhymed!

No but guess what happened next. She laughed! The most beautiful sound in the world!

"I'm serious you know." I reminded her.

"Oh I know…" she said smiling.

"So are you going to tell me?"I asked her. Man I was DYING to know what happened!

"Yeah…yeah…hold them horses!" she rolled her eyes playfully at me.

"I trust you Hoagie…so I…I saw my mom and I saw her… in her last few minutes… it was so scary you wouldn't understand! Well you probably will but still it…she… I" she stuttered "I'm sorry Hoagie I guess I'm just not ready to tell you or anyone yet. But I will start talking again." She told me.

"Okay just promise me one thing!" I said anxiously.

"Anything Hoags!" she smiled

"Promise me when…when you…are ready to tell anyone can it be me?" I asked her with wide eyes.

She smiled wider and said the four words I was looking for "Sure Hoags I promise".

"Thanks Abby but we were really worried about you! And once you walk out of your room they're going to be worse than the paparazzi!" I warned her.

"Thanks for the heads up Hoagie!" she grinned…she's so beautiful! But it doesn't take a genius to know she's hurting.

"So I'll leave and come out when ever' I told her reassuringly.

"Okay" she said softly.

And with that I left to leave her alone to think only to get massacred with questions once I put one foot out the door…ONE FREAKING FOOT!!

"No, yes, purple, sad, I don't know, maybe, happy, uncle, computer, to get to the other side, don't cry it's just a joke, and with that I bet one of those was your answer" I told them smiling innocently.

"But Hooaaggiieee!!" Kuki moaned. "We love her too!" she mumbled.

I know she'd be the only one to admit that not even I would! But we all know that it's true so that's all that matters…

"What the crud is wrong with Abby?!" my short little Aussie friend asked me.

"I truthfully don't know she didn't tell me…" I said looking down.

"Well that's just great! If she won't tell you there is no possibility of us ever knowing!" He shouted.

"Listen little buddy…she's not emotionally ready yet…all she told me was that her mom got murdered" I explained then it all went silent.

"Wait what?! Emotionally ready!?" I could tell he didn't get it but the other two did Nig especially.

"Hoagies right Wally leave Abby be…don't disturb her." Nig ordered him backing me up.

I smiled at the brit "Thanks man…"

"I know if it were backwards you'd the same!" he told me smiling.

Kuki is speechless she hasn't uttered a word after I told them…"M…misses Lincoln is…dead?" she whimpered whispering the last word. All I could do is nod the intensity in her eyes was just to die for.

"Kuki it's okay just don't…" Wally started as Kuki broke out in tears. Me and Nig both saw Wally cringe and smiled. Their love is the most obvious of all of ours and unmistakable.

"I…it's alright… right Hoagie?" he pat her back and growled at me."R…right sorry it's true but still it's okay" I said trying to keep from laughing.

"Wait...Mrs. Lincoln is d…dead." I said the truth finally settling in to all of us except Kuki who already got it. The room again fell silent. Everyone had a confused look on their face (again except Kuki who already went through this) not understanding that…that our dear friend our motherly figure is gone and she's not coming back from Cuba.

She's not coming back…ever…sure we all love our own mom of course we do! But Mrs. Lincoln had a special place in each of our hearts and now…she's gone.

"Wow…I can't believe she's never coming back and never going to make us cookies and never…" Wally said sadly.

"I know it just we never noticed how big of an impact she had on us…" Nig said gulping.

"You know what they say you don't know what have until it's gone." I said so softly I could barely even hear myself but I know that everyone could hear me crystal clear.

A round of sad sighs passed through the room and a few deep breaths were taken in. We all just sat there not moving for what felt like 20 years in silence. No one spoke a word and no one made any attempt to turn the TV on like we would have any other day.

No. Because today was different today we lost a member of the team and nothing could make up for that.

Then suddenly Nigel and Willy gasped and their eyes grew wide as Kuki just sat there looking up none of them believing what they clearly saw in front of their eyes and me standing there knowing exactly what was going to happen next for once.

Hey me again! That's twice in one day! Yey! Hope you liked it! I spent a lot of time on this one! Even if I only have one fan I'll keep on writing and even if it's just for me I'll keep on writing! So you like it? PLEASE REVIEW!!
