"Why would anything be wrong?" he scoffed as she smiled a little.
"Derek, face it, I know this sounds horrible but there is nothing between us, I can't go against everything I am," she said softly.
"Well in that case how can I trust a person who went to the other team."
"My father was murdered by one of you."
"It wasn't me, so why bother being angry with me?"
"Because you almost killed me, how can I trust someone like that?"
"It was an impulse move; I never meant to hurt you. I love you."
"And I loved you, but…no more," she sighed turning from him. She turned around and hugged him, "Now leave," she whispered before walking away.
"What was that about?" Lydia asked looking at Derek who was still looking at the girls.
"It's a long story and I really don't want to talk about it," Abby sighed buttoning her sweater as the temperature started to drop. Abby's breath began to turn into small clouds in front of her face.
"Come on, we've got a whole hour before…"
"Lydia, just drop it," Abby snapped for the first time in a long time she sounded pain filled. Allison soon got Lydia off Abby's case and the girls were talking about a complete different topic laughing their heads off.
"So you and Stiles? When did this happen?" Allison asked as the lacrosse team finally made their way onto the field.
"During free period today," Abby laughed as the crowds began cheering. The game had begun and Abby couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with Derek standing only a few feet away from her. She looked out and noticed how Jackson was purposely keeping the ball from Scott and he hunched over catching her attention a little more. She stood up with the crowd and started examining him a little more, she noticed this change as the whistle blew he took off like a rocket and seemed to have snatched the ball and shot it in.
Her mind was too slow to even comprehend what was going on. She noticed something strange and knew how no normal person could do something like that. She looked down and saw Stiles smiling at her. She tried to hide her total blush but nothing could hide it. She gave him a wave before returning her attention to the game.
Scott's fast paced brought the game to an end extremely quickly and Beacon Hills High had one causing the entire stand to stand up and run onto the field, Abby was dragged out by Allison who let her go to run after Scott. Stiles grabbed Abby by her hips and lifted her off the ground. Scott had totally slipped her mind at the touch of him, but when she came back to reality she looked around.
"You ok?" Stiles screamed over the crowd.
"Yeah, just has Scott been…normal lately?"
"Normal? What do you mean?"
"I don't know but no one moves like that during…" Stiles smashed his lips to hers as she seemed to melt right then and there her arms slowly crawling up his back till they met at the shoulders.
"I'll be back just let me go change and I am all yours," he smiled before walking back to the school. Abby noticed that Allison was gone to and she walked over to the bleachers and took a seat watching people walk past. She felt a small vibration in her pocket and she quickly answered.
"Hello?"
"Have you found anything on the second Beta?"
"No, I have absolutly no leads," she answered rubbing her arm with her free hand trying to stay warm.
"You are listening to me right?" the voice asked.
"About what?" she stood up walking up and down the bleachers.
"Derek Hale, you know what happened to him today?"
"No, what?" she asked looking up. She noticed Derek was standing on the other side of the field looking at her in a stalking fashion.
"He was arrested for murder, but the cops found him innocent and set him free," the person snapped as she made eye contact.
"What? Murder of who?" She wasn't surprised since she never forgave him the night for almost killing her, but by the look on Derek's face she knew he was listening to her conversation.
"Listen, I think it would be best if we discussed this after my match tomorrow," she reprimanded as the person scoffed.
"Abigail, I think…"
"Sir, I said tomorrow. This is not the best time, right now I am in the middle of the lacrosse field, we will discuss more of this tomorrow," she snapped before hanging up. As she grabbed her things Derek made his way over to her.
"Who was that?"
"No one," she answered.
"Abby don't lie to me."
"Derek, just how hard is it to leave me alone, you're like some creepy stalker."
"Fine, then let me help you and I will leave you alone."
"No, just stop, ok," she sighed pushing past him. She could never trust him after everything she's been through with him. Abby soon got to Stiles Jeep and found him walking from the school. "Great game, huh?" she asked hugging him.
"But I didn't play…"
"I know, but you did look hot sitting on the bench," she laughed kissing him before getting in the car.
"So what time is…um…the uh….polo match?"
"Four-thirty," she sighed looking at the clock, "if you want I can introduce Corbeau to you," she smiled a little.
"Cor-who?" Stiles looked at her confused as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Corbeau," she laughed at his face expression. "It means Raven in French, I named him that because he is all black and the rest is history," she said sarcastically. "But I must warn you, he is a little over protective of me."
"How can a horse be over protective?" Stiles laughed.
"You'll see." The ride was shorter than on the way over and she said good bye before Jack would come out and embarrass her again. "I'll see you tomorrow, four thirty," she pointed as he nodded. She got out and walked into the house as she found her brother standing at the top of the stairs.
"What the hell are you doing?" he asked bitterly as she walked up and past him.
"What do you mean?" she asked all innocent.
"What do I mean, you kissed that…that loser. When you know mom said she didn't want you to see him anymore," he whispered so his mom wouldn't hear.
"I don't care if I have your approval or not Jack. And don't you dare call him a loser."
"He's a bench warmer for crying out loud."
"You think your tough, oh my God; you can be an asshole you know that," she barked a little too loud.
"ABBY!" her mom's voice echoed through the house. She walked to the railing and looked down in the foyer to find her mom looking up at her. "What did you just say?"
"When?" Abby asked trying to keep cool.
"Two seconds ago?"
"Oh my God?" she asked as her mom sighed.
"After that?"
"I don't remember."
"Whatever…just go to bed," she sighed angrily getting frustrated with her daughter. Abby nodded, smiled at Jack and walked in her room remembering to lock her door this time. After a tense relaxing shower Abby changed and climbed into bed.
She woke up around ten and grabbed her phone. "Hello?" Gregg her stable watcher asked.
"How's Corbeau?"
"He's doing really good, Abby. He looks like he is in perfect condition for the match today," he chuckled as she smiled sitting up from her bed.
"Ok, I'll be there around three," she smiled getting a response of approval from Gregg. She climbed out of bed and ran down stairs. Her phone vibrated indicating she received a text. Abby looked at the message and chuckled.
So you want to hang out after your match? –L
Sure, but if I lose I don't want to hear anything about the match. She laughed sending the message, she was embracing for a hard match today since she heard rumors about the team she was going up against today and how hard they are.
"Hey ma," Abby called as her mother walked into the room. "Can I hang out with Lydia, Jackson, Stiles, Scott, and Allison after my match today?"
"Sure, but if you do don't forget to do your Saturday chores on Sunday," she sighed looking at her daughter with a hint of annoyance. "I just think you're too young Abigail," her mother sighed as she stopped before leaving.
"Too young…what are you talking about?" she asked a little confused.
"You and your little boyfriend," she sighed.
"Jack told you?" she squawked, "When I find him he is…"
"Abby, he didn't tell me. I knew."
"You knew?"
"Yes, I could tell by the way you two looked at each other, I was being rude because I was scared."
"Of what?"
"That you would make the same mistake I did."
"Mistake what mistake," Abby asked taking a seat. "Your father only married me because well I was pregnant."
"So Jack…was an accident?" Abby tried covering up her laughter but her mother smiled and gave her a light tap. She walked over to her mother and hugged her before running up stairs. Abby changed and grabbed her mallet and got in the car.
"Why are we going early?" Jack asked more annoyed than usual.
"Because, I need to get ready and make sure everything is ok with Corbeau and if he isn't ready then I am screwed," she laughed looking out the window. Her brother drove her to Beacon Gardens, dropped her off and sped away. She walked into the stables and found Gregg behind his desk sleeping. She lifted her mallet and slammed it hard on the desk.
"Who's there?" He sat up as she started laughing. "How come you are always testing your mallet on my desk?"
"Because, you're too easy to excite," she smiled as a few strands of her autumn hair fell out of her helmet. She quickly tucked it back in and walked down the hallway. She soon came up to an all black horse with soft brown eyes. "Hey Corbeau, how are we feeling today?" she asked as the horse nudged its head in her chest. "Oh you want this?" she asked pulling a caret from her jacket. Corbeau ripped it from her hand and started eating as she laughed and hugged him.
"Abigail, you ready?" a person's voice echoed through barn.
"You know I am; what about you Joe?" she asked nudging one of her closest friend.
"Please, I just hope you can catch up with us after all you are the only girl on the team."
"Please, I was leading us into victory last week."
"Whatever you want to believe."
"Hey, um who are we playing today?"
"Something like the Wolves or something like that," he sighed as she looked at Corbeau.
"We can take them can't we boy?" she asked the horse started nodding. Joey laughed and patted her back before walking away. A few hours later and the other two members of the team showed up.
Abby looked at the clock now reading four she anticipated the match. "Ok as always keep your focus," Jacob finished his little guidelines to the rules which everyone already knew.
"Captain, a few words?" Zane asked. "Captain," he spoke up as Abby shook her head looking at him.
"Sorry," she smiled. "Well it doesn't matter if we win or lose oh what am I talking about, you know we will come out victorious," she spoke up as the guys looked at her with honor. "Make sure you keep a strong grip on your mallet…Joey," she chuckled as Zane and Jacob started laughing.
"What about you miss perfect?"
"Thank you," she joked.
"Yeah, Abby make sure you keep Corbeau in his line," Zane became serious.
"What's the code word?" she spoke up.
"Compris," Joey spoke up quickly.
"What is it?"
"Compris," the four of them shouted as they placed their mallets together.
"Tonight we're one," she cheered as the broke apart and walked to the stables their horses were in. Abby climbed onto Corbeau and he trotted toward the door. After Zane and Claw, Joey and Speed, and Jacob and Bay were in position the doors opened and the four of them galloped onto the track. They had a full crowd and the stands seemed packed.
Sorry how I ended it, I wanted to at least start the match, but I felt the chapter would have been a little too long so the Polo match and more will be next chapter.
