No Goodbyes
Chapter 2
5 years later…
Jay drove through a quiet village on the outskirts London past big houses and posh cars, 'This had to be wrong, no way would Abi live in a place like this' he thought to himself, but this was the information he had found on some letters in the old Branning house. They had moved away a few months back, he hadn't spoken to them in years, anytime he had got close he also had got to close to Max's fist.
...
Jay had never stopped looking for Abi, but whenever it seemed he had found her, he would hit a brick wall. After 2 years Jay gave up hope and became a drug addict, it was a hard time in his life and he made himself distance from his friends, he never trusted Dexter again because he had told Abi and after that day they were nothing but work colleagues, Lola and him spoke from time to time but after she found out about his addiction she stopped him from seeing Lexi, and their contact pretty much ended there. If it wasn't for Phil helping him sort his life out and paying for him to go to rehab, he would probably be dead. But now he was clean and ready to find his woman.
...
It was around 6:30PM and dark outside when he pulled outside large detached house with a garage and a sizeable garden, if this was Abi's house; she had definitely done well for herself and probably had become a vet and achieved her dreams.
...
Jay slowly got out of the car and began to walk towards the door; he began to shake at the prospect of seeing those big brown eyes again, his hand quivered as he rang the doorbell, a sweet tune began to play and he prayed to himself that this was Abi's house. The door opened; stunned they looked at each other for the first time in 5 years, 'Jay?' Abi said breathless from shock.
'Hey Abs' He spoke awkwardly, 'You looked great' as he looked at her golden blonde hair, flawless skin and angelic face.
'Wish I could say the same about you…' Abi spoke as she peered the dark circle beneath his eyes and the pale complexion of his face 'Sorry' she said regrettably as he looked down at the ground. Trying to move away from what she'd just said, Abi cut the silence by stuttering 'W-what are you doing h-here?'
'I missed you, I've been looking for you and no one would tell me where you were, you just disappeared, it's been 5 years! You didn't even day goodbye…' He trailed off raising his voice a little as he needed to get all of his feeling known, Abi closed the door behind her and the both sat on the bitter cold step Jay had previously been standing on.
'We both know why I had to go Jay, it's not like I decided to do it on a whim?' Abi blurted out with a hint of fury in her voice, still obviously hurting from what happened all those years ago.
'I'm not going to give you a list of excuses Abi because you've heard them all before, the only excuse I can give you is that I loved you then, and I still love you now, and I know that that'll never change for me, so you must still love me Abi, we could be happy…' Jay proposed.
Abi looked shocked, bluntly she said, 'No Jay, no I don't still love you and no I don't want a future with you, that could never happen, trust me!'
'I don't believe that, I don't know why you're saying that, but I have not spent 5 years trying to find you for you to look me in the eyes and tell that there is no chance, because I know there is!'
'Jay…'
'No Abi, listen to me' he interrupted abruptly, 'I am not leaving this step until you admit to me that you still have feeling for me because I know you do! I know that me and you, we meant something, and it was amazing and special. I was the one who messed up everything that we had worked on and worked for, I was the one who lied and cheated and I've had to live with that guilt for years, I don't want to live with that guilt anymore, I want to live with you, in a house like this and I want us to be married and have lots of children and be happy like we should have been before everything turned to crap! You were the only good thing in my life, and when you left it killed me. Now I'm here to say sorry and apologise for what I have done, please Abi, forgive me?' Jay rambled before he finally took a breather.
'You can't just come back and say that and expect everything to go back to the way it was. It's been five years Jay; things have changed not just in my head but in my life. I don't love anymore because it's not possible to…'
Jay interrupted again, 'But I can make you love me again, I know it's still in there, I know it's still inside, even if you've hidden away because you're scared! He begged.
'Jay you don't understand.' She spoke desperately.
'But I do! I understand Abi! I'm here and I need you, we need each other, like we did all those years ago, things don't just change Abi…'
'Yeah Jay…they kind of do!' Abi spoke softly.
'Then what has changed 'ey Abs?' He looked into her eyes and grabbed her hands and touched them softly, just then he felt something strange, that had never been there before, he looked down in disbelief at the circle rock diamond upon her ring finger. There was silence between the two of them.
'You're married?' He stated in disbelief dropping her hands.
'That's what I've been trying to tell you, because that's what's changed' Abi spoke which a lump in her throat.
They sat in quiet for a while Jay was just about to speak again when the front door opened, 'Mummy, when's dinner ready?' asked a young boy just as he spotted Jay.
'Hello, I'm JJ' the little boy stated…
