Chapter 11

Abigail jumped out of Byron's bed and said, "So for all those years, you only loved me because I'm good in bed? You never truly loved me?"

"All that stuff is overrated, honey. You know that."

"Take me to the Clampton Hotel, I'm leaving!" she demanded, putting on her clothes.

"Fat chance, stay here with me, sexy!"

"Fine, I'll walk home by myself! See you never," she shot back as she grabbed her bag and stomped out of his house. She was tired, hungry, and upset. The heel to her boot was broken, her hair was undone, her makeup was streaked down her tear stained face. Abby searched in her bag to get some money to buy something to eat, but to her horror she found out that Byron had stolen her money and her cell phone. Normally, she would have gone to the police, but she felt too weak to go. Then the Clampton Hotel came into view.

Manning opened the door, and Abby rushed inside. She breezed past everyone else, and ran straight into Abe's arms. Abigail sobbed into Abe's chest while he slowly put one hand on her head and one on her back. Surprisingly, Abigail felt protected by him. Like he wouldn't let anyone hurt her. It felt nice.

When they returned to the BPRD, Abigail went straight to her room, and Abe followed. She flung herself face down on the bed and sobbed. Abe stood there, comforting her by smoothing her hair as he listened to everything that had happened to her.

"Listen, Abigail, it's not the end of the world. He was a jerk, and he didn't know what he had. He didn't realize the obvious: that you are a wonderful, amazing, and incredibly intelligent girl you are, and if he can't realize that, then he's gonna miss out on a lot."

She raised her head to look at him with surprised eyes. "Really? Do you mean it?"

"Of course I mean it. Have I ever lied to you?"

"Abby smiled and sniffled, "No, you haven't."

Abe smiled back at her, "Good! Now, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry," she said, just as her stomach growled loudly, "Okay, fine. I'm starving! But I'm too tired and confused to eat right now. Could... Could you sleep with me tonight? Just for comfort?"

"Of course, Abigail. You know that I'm always there for you." Abe said, crawling into bed with her. Abby snuggled close to him, and he wrapped his arms around her. He would do anything for her

Because that's what you do when you care about someone.

************************************************************************************************************************

The next morning, both Abby and Abe got out of bed and walked out of her room. Abby headed toward the kitchen, and Abe walked toward the library. Abe felt weird, walking away form Abigail, like he wanted to be near her all the time. She was so full of life, and anyone who said the opposite would be talking bullshit. Red was in the library, smoking a cigar. He smiled when he saw Abe and walked towards him.

"Congrats, Abe!" he said slapping Abe on the back, "You're first time! So, how was it?"

"How was what?" Abe asked, distracted.

Red looked confused, "Didn't you have sex with Abby? You both stayed in the same room for the night."

Abe was abashed, "What???!!! I did not do anything with her! I just comforted her. She was really upset, you know."

"Oh... Well you really seem to like her. I mean, you two are together all the time!"

"We are not! Though sometimes, I just want to be with her all the time. She makes me happy. We're just really good friends, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Okay, whatever you say, man." Red answered, looking skeptical.

How could anyone think that he and Abby could be a couple?
