The other end of the world

Abby has a dark secret she hasn't told anyone, not even new husband Connor. Abby's past comes to haunt her after she receives a certain call

Chapter 7

"We must do something!" Rachel said frantically as she paced around the room. Tina, Jon, Jo and Bradley sat on the couch looking at her

"Yes, but what can we do?" Tina asked "we can take Abby to the hospital and make her take the test"

"No, but we can at least make her see Hannah, then she won't have the heart to say no" Jo said firmly

"Guys, we must remember what they went through, it's not something you just forget" Jon said "I want to help Hannah just as much as you do, but violence isn't the answer"

"So we just wait until she dies is that it Jon?" Jo shot at him. She hated when he was all rational

"one of us should go talk to Abby, make her understand this has nothing to do with Paul or whatever happened between them, there is a child's life at stake here, she can't just take that lightly can she?" Bradley let out "I think Jon should do it, he was best friends with both Paul and Abby"

"I tried, it didn't work" Jon said dryly "I tried talking to her and she just told me to go away as if being friends with us all those years hadn't meant anything"

"Maybe we are looking at this on the wrong side" Tina said. Her friends looked at her curiously "who is the only person that can get trough Abby and Paul now?"

"Jack" Rachel said "so maybe he should talk to them again"

"No, Jack could get trough Abby if Connor helps her" Tina said

"But we don't even know Connor" Bradley said "we weren't even at her wedding"

"No, but I bet Jack can get Abby to talk to us" Jon said "maybe even listen to what Paul has to say"

The next morning they all went to the hospital "we need your help" Jo told Jack "but you need to be very discreet, we can't let Abby know"

"All right, I'm in, but if this doesn't work out…" he said glancing at Bradley

"Let's cross that bridge when we get to it man, first we need to meet this Connor and then see if he can make Abby come" Brad said

"What is this all about?" Connor asked Jack as they walked to the cafeteria

"I just want to have coffee with my favorite brother in law" Jack said sitting down on the table

"I'm your only brother in law" Connor said annoyed

"Who's going to go up there?" Jo asked as the 5 friends shared a glance

"I say Jon should go, he's the best at babbling stuff" Bradley smirked. Jon stood up and turned again to shot Bradley a dirty look

"Jack?" Jon put on his acting skills to a test "is it really you?"

"Jon?" Jack gave Connor a nice look and then stood up to shake hands with Jon "this is Connor; he married Abby, about two weeks ago"

"Really?" Jon asked "I didn't know she was even seeing someone" Jon sat on the table next to Connor

"So how is Hannah?" Jack asked Jon. Connor seem uncomfortable hearing his stepdaughter's name

"She's getting big, almost five now" Jon said proudly

"I heard she is in the hospital" Connor said innocently

"Yeah, she's been really sick for a while" Jon smirked as he and Jack watched the look on Connor's face "she's got liver failure, but neither of us or her father is a match"

"What's wrong with her?" Connor asked. Jon smiled "she has developed some kind of disease that attacked both her kidneys and the right one is the one that works better, but the doctor says a transplant is the only choice she's got to survive, he says that if she receives a donor soon, she'll be able to make a full recovery"

"So she needs Abby to take a test?" Connor asked "she told me about her daughter being sick, but I didn't know it was this bad, I'll talk to her if you want, I mean I understand it is hard for her but this is a little girl's life and it is and the end of the day, her daughter"

"Would you do that?" Jon asked "she'll only have to take a test and even though it is hard to live with only one kidney, she'll still be able to live her life fully"

"Abby?" Connor sat on the bed next to his wife "we need to talk"

"So you know the whole truth now huh?" Abby said harshly "it is finally out, I'm the most horrible person in the world"

"Why won't you want to go take the test?" Connor asked truly concerned "this is your kid, Abby you might be the only one who can save her"

"What test?" Abby asked confused "I mean Jon told me she's really sick, but I sort of hung up"

"Hannah needs a kidney transplant and they all think you are the one that matches since none of them did" Connor reached for her hand "I know you are scared about facing the past. I mean who isn't? But maybe this is just what you need to be okay with the past"

Okay so new chapter! What will Abby decide and what will happen between her and Paul?
