Gabby slowly turned her gaze to Alex. "You used to force yourself to throw up?" Gabby said her voice laced with fear and shock.
"Yes." Alex replied simply.
Gabby looked at Alex in shock, she didn't know what to say.
"I just need you to know that I understand. When you are feeling better and you're ready to talk, I'm here. And when you think no one else in the world will understand what you are feeling remember that I will." As Alex finished talking Gabby began to cry again. Alex held the teenager close and let her cry. Gabby began to move away from Alex, she opened her mouth to say something but Alex cut her off.
"How about this, you go shower and relax. We will be done talking about serious stuff for the rest of the night. I'll call Liv and when you get out of the shower I'll know what's going on."
Gabby nodded as she walked towards the bathroom, "thanks Lex" she said as she closed her door. Gabby got in the shower and let the steam and hot water relax her. She washed off all the crap from the days before and just relaxed.
As Alex was about to pick up her phone to call Olivia the house phone rang. Alex took a few seconds to internally debate whether she should answer it or not then picked up the phone.
"Benson residence."
"Well I'll be damned." The voice on the other end said with a deep Texas drawl.
"Abbie?" Alex said cautiously.
"Well do you know any other sexy Texans? And what the hell are you doing answer the Benson's phone?"
Alex was just about to answer when Abbie cut in again. "So I take it you and Olivia stopped dancing like blind fools and started sleeping together?"
"Carmichael!" Alex gasped.
"What?" Abbie asked innocently.
"Don't act all innocent I know you know, we've been together almost a year! And even though we only talk sometimes I know you talk to Olivia and Gabby on a regular basis so shut it."
"Calm it down cowgirl. I wasn't trying to push any buttons. I just wanted to talk to my favorite teenager. Can you put my girl on the phone?"
"Last I checked she was in the shower, but I'll go see if she's out." Alex took the phone with her as she walked to the bathroom door and knocked softly.
"Gabby, Abbie is on the phone she wants to talk to you."
Gabby quickly opened the bathroom door, "tell her I will call her back in 5 and not to get bored waiting in the mean time." She said as she raced to her room and closed the door to get dressed.
Alex held the phone back to her ear, "Gabby said-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Abbie cut in. "I heard her. Damn that girl knows me well."
"Hope you haven't corrupted her too badly yet….." Alex said giggling softly.
"As long as you and her mother aren't bumping ugly's too loudly with her in the house I think we're good."
"Oh great…. I am going to call Olivia, I'm sure Gabby will be calling you in a few minutes, bye Carmichael."
"Enjoy your night Ms. Cabot, but not to much if you know what I mean." There was a soft giggle then the click of the phone being hung up.
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
Gabby slid into her pajama's and plopped down on her bed, adjusting her pillows so she was sitting up against the head board. She grabbed her phone and hit speed dial number 4.
"Hey there sweetheart," Abbie happily proclaimed answering the phone.
"Well wouldn't you have been embarrassed if it wasn't actually me!" Gabby said giggling.
"Honey, trust me I've been way more embarrassed before"
"I'm sure you have…." Gabby cut in.
"How've you been you crazy teenager? It's been forever."
"Abs, it's been a week."
"Well last time I called your house Alexandra Cabot was not answering the phone."
"Oh. Well…. Yea, about that. Mom didn't tell you?"
"Of course she did but I thought that wasn't until Saturday? How you feelin' about it?"
"I like Alex."
"That wasn't the question missy."
"I have decided how I feel yet mkay?"
"Well if the two of them are getting to loud and busy at night you tell your momma that you're moving to DC to be with me."
"EWWWW" Gabby practically shrieked. "Please don't put that image in my head!"
Abbie laughed. "Sorry! Anyways….. I talked to Liv earlier…. She said things have been pretty exciting in your life lately, but that you would want to tell me about them. So what's up?"
"Uhmm. It's nothing exciting. It's actually nothing I even wanna talk about over the phone ok?"
"Gabriella." Abbie said sternly. "Are you alright?"
Gabby sighed, "been better but I'm fine ok?"
"Well that sounds like a load of donkey shit to me. Clear your schedule Friday night."
"What?" Gabby was now sufficiently confused.
"I was thinking about coming up to New York this weekend anyways and it sounds like you need a little southern lovin' from your favorite Auntie. So Friday night we're having a date."
"you really don't have to come all the way up here for me. I'll be fine. Promise."
"I don't believe you. and besides I need an excuse to see my girls. Plus I have a feeling Alex has a lot of stuff to move so an extra pair of hands wont hurt."
"Well maybe you should check with mom ok?"
"I told her earlier there was a chance I was coming and she seemed fine with it."
"Ok."
"Good so Friday night baby. Me and you, no Liv and no Alex."
"That sounds perfect."
"Well good. now you sound tired. Try to sleep ok? Love you kiddo."
"Love you too Abs. see you Friday!"
And with that Gabby hung up the phone and sank deeper into her pillows.
Gabby must have dozed off, because the next thing she realized she felt someone pulling the covers over her and giving her a soft kiss on the forehead. "Mom?" Gabby whispered.
"Shhhh baby. Go back to sleep" Olivia whispered gently.
"We were supposed to spend time together" Gabby protested barely cohesively.
"Tomorrow. Good night, love you."
Gabby mumbled something inaudible as Olivia turned off the lights and headed to the living room.
