"Abby!" She considers for a second pretending she hadn't heard him. Even if she did she couldn't speed up her steps without looking suspicious and his longer legs would mean he'd reach her before her destination came. She slows down, plants on a smile and turns around.
"Hello Marcus."
"I heard congratulations are in order."
"It's no big deal."
"No big deal?! You were accepted into the medical training program. Only two percent make it!" Marcus reaches a hand out and squeezes her shoulder.
"Thanks. It's gonna be hard. I'm a bit scared."
"You'll do great! I'll help you study. Day and night. And the male anatomy lesson I got that covered." He winks and leans his head forward this time and Abby knows it's to kiss her. She tucks out of the way.
"Look Marcus I like you, I do. But we only went on two dates; and that was three months ago. I don't think that type of studying will be appropriate it."
"Yeah I know it's been awhile. I've been busy!" She hears the anger creepy in. She could have seeked him out those last three months for another date or simple to spent time with him; this behavior stopped her.
"It's okay. Really it is. If you want to help me stu…"
"There you are!" Abby is interrupted by Jake walking up behind Marcus. He passes him and puts an arm around Abby kisses her quickly on the cheek. She watches Marcus eyes turn black as he glares at the couple.
"What the hell?!"
"Oh hey Kane what's going on?" Jake questions with a sincere smile.
"Why are you touching my girl Griffin?!"
"Your what?! I am not your girl! I never was! I never will be!"
"We had, we have a real connection!"
"No we didn't! Look your nice enough but nothing will ever between us. Not like that." She waits a few seconds for Marcus to reply the silence getting thicker and thicker.
"Maybe we should get going." Jake offers, Abby nods and in unison they turn and walk away from Marcus who at last shouts out. ""I just want you to know that I hate you both!"
