Abby's POV
When I came home I said hello to my family and locked myself in my room. That first week all I did was cry, I knew my parents were worried but I didn't want to talk about it just yet. Every night I cried myself to sleep and whenever a NeverShoutNever song played I would burst into tears. I had been wrong, not dating him hurt more than dating him but not being with him. I loved Christopher so much but I let him go and it had to be the worst decision of my life! It had been two weeks and my sister was sill ignoring me for no reason, I couldn't tell my best friend Laura what happened. She would never believe me, the one person that helped me, that was always there and comforted me. Was my old friend Jared, we had been best friends up until ninth grade but for some reason just stopped talking. Now he was in my room holding me in his arms, planting light kisses on my forehead. I had stopped crying about twenty minutes earlier and it was the first time I cried that day. I didn't feel like moving so we silently sat on my bed. The door bell snapped me back to reality, he slowly released me from his arms and I took a quick glance in the mirror. My eyes weren't as red anymore but my hair was a mess. I opened my front door to see Josh on my porch holding a single rose.
"Hey Abby-" he started, I slammed the door in his face and walked back up to my room. Jared was probally confused as to why I slammed the door.
"Who was that?" He stood up and took my hand in his, if someone else saw his friendly gestures they would probably think were dating.
"No one," I simply said
"Uh..Ok," he trailed off. "but you slammed the door..?"
"People slam doors all the time, doesn't mean it was someone that I hate at the door," I sat back down on my bed and put on a fake smile.
"Josh?" He knew me to well.
"Maybe..." I could hear something hitting my window, it sounded like tapping but I'm on the second floor and the sounds weren't in any specific order. I peeked out the corners of my blinds. Josh was throwing small stones my window but he didn't seem to see me. I decided to ignore Josh and I sat on my bed. As if on command Jared sat next to me and wrapped me in his strong arms. After about 10 minutes osh finally gave up, he wanted me back but after what he said and did in California i would never take him back. Why should I care that he hurt Christopher though? He's not my boyfriend and I don't have any feelings for him. Am I just lying to myself? I haven't been able to stop thinking about Christopher, hes all that I want and need.
Christopher's POV
I ha written 11 songs in the past 2 weeks but only one was aloud to be recorded. My manager said I needed to focus on the happy things in life, but how could I when the best thing Ive ever had walked away from me. The song I was recording right at the moment was 'She's got style' I had written the day before Abby broke my heart. I had been picking her up when the idea for the song hit me. She had been wearing cowboy boots that her sister insisted she buy. Me and Abby had a long conversation about how long i would take until she was completely southern. Everything about her was so cute, I just couldn't stand it. I let the word slip out of my mouth...
"What did you say?" My manager asked, we were listening to the recording, un edited.
"I think it was flabby," The producer said.
"No it sounded like nappy,"
"I said Abby," I admitted, how did I let her name slip out while recording? Ive never done that before.
"Who?" The producer asked.
"Ex" My manager said the one thing I couldn't. My managers phone started ringing and he motioned for me to sit down. After 10 minutes of my manager talking and me trying to listen in on who was on the phone. I knew it had to be something that involved me since he was using his business phone.
"That would be terrific...OK...yeah...I'm sure Christopher will be glad to...OK good bye sir" My manager said into the small blackberry phone.
"Guess what" he said excitedly. I just gave him a confused look so I didnt have to speak.
"Your doing a CD signing in Cloverleaf Texas after your Houston concert!" He practically yelled, Cloverleaf! but that's where Abby lives, I shouldn't worry, she wouldn't go to the CD signing. Why would she? But maybe she wants me back.
"What!" I was glad for the chance to see Abby, but couldn he have asked me first!
"I tried very hard to get this for you, but if for some reason you don't go we loose $2,000," The last part he said seriously.
"Couldnt you have asked!" I yelled at him.
"I thought you would like to see Abby," he obviously thought it wasn't a problem at all. I didn't want to yell at so I stormed out of the recording studio. Locking myself in my car, i read through all the text messages me and Abby had sent each other the week we were dating. Every message she sent had an explanation point, a smiley or a heart. She was always so happy and sweet, I loved her for that.
