They had been sitting together in silence for the last hour and although Abed would normally be grateful for the silence, he hates it went people ask questions during movies, today he's not even paying attention to the movie.

As soon as the movie started Abed started going through everything he remembered about his conversation with Annie on the balcony.

Annie pulled him up and took him outside. They were standing out there without saying anything for about ten minutes. Annie then started shivering so Abed did what he saw every man do in the movies Annie liked. He walked over to her and placed his cardigan over her shoulders. His hands lingered a second longer than they were supposed to and he hoped Annie wouldn't notice.

Once he had stepped back and had provided himself a little space between them he looked up at Annie who had a strange look on her face. He thought it looked the same as when he first told her about special drink, but he couldn't be sure. Before he could ask she started talking.

"I just don't understand," Annie said with her arms firmly crossed over her chest, holding onto the sides of his cardigan, trying to keep herself warm. "Why does he flirt with me all year while we're at college and then as soon as we come to a bar where something might happen he spends all of his time flirt arguing with Britta?" she sighed and took a deep breath. "Why does he do this Abed?"

While Annie had been complaining about Jeff, Abed had been trying to sort through why he was so angry at Jeff. He likes Jeff but hearing everything he's done and seeing all the things he does to Annie makes him angry. Abed likes Annie and he wants her to be happy. Why can't she see that Jeff won't make her happy?

He was dragged out of his thoughts when Annie said his name. He wasn't sure what to say. A friend would say everything will work out in the end. Jeff will realise he loves you and stop treating you like a child, but Abed didn't want to lie to Annie. He never lied. So he said everything he always wanted to say but was to afraid of losing her, maybe he had drunk too much, four tequila shots was definitely more than he was used to.

"Jeff isn't worth this Annie. You don't deserve to feel like a child or watch him flirt with your friend. You deserve better than Jeff. He's never going to love you the way that you deserve. You're amazing Annie. You should be with someone who actually cares about you." Abed wasn't really looking at Annie when he said this. He was looking just to the left of her but when he finished talking he noticed Annie was looking straight at him with an alarmed look on her face. It took a minute for her to say anything but when she did he didn't expect her to say this. "Why do you care so much who I'm with?" she asked in an almost whisper.

Annie had been sitting looking at the tv screen but not listening. She was trying to remember what happened.

I dragged Abed outside and then he gave me his cardigan. That felt nice. Abed doesn't normally do things like that. Then I started complaining to him about Jeff and about how much I love him. Well that's embracing. I don't even love Jeff. Drunk Annie is very different to sober Annie. Then Abed said something about what I deserve and that Jeff wasn't worth it.

I wondered why he cared so much. Then I remembered the paintball, the amazing kiss at the end and how that made me feel. I hadn't realised Abed could kiss like that. I thought he was just being Han Solo. He said he was. He told me to cool it but we never really talked about it. In fact we never talked about any time he flirted with me in character, Don Draper, Batman, that time in the Dreamatorium with the inspector. Maybe Abed actually did feel something for me. He was looking at me differently when he saw my dress tonight and there have been moments when I catch him staring with a look in his eyes.

I asked him why he cared so much. I needed to know if he was feeling something. If he felt the same way.

Annie was brought out of her thoughts when she noticed the end credits rolling on the screen.

Abed abruptly jumped up, walked over to the DVD player. He took out the DVD and put it in the right case. He dropped the DVD down, not checking if landed on the TV cabinet or the floor and walked straight into the Dreamatorium without a glance or a word to Annie.

Annie had been watching Abed and even after the door had been shut for at least five minutes she couldn't stop staring. She felt very confused and worried that Abed was remembering what happened and worse, that he wouldn't be happy with what he found.
