Jubilation

Abuse Reactions Chapter 14 - Chiffon's POV

The phone rang at 8:30pm. Audrey was supposed to be out on a date with Orin . I figured things were the same as always but why would she be calling me in the middle of her date? This was unlike her.

"Hey Chiffon."

"Hey girl? Aren't you supposed to be on a date with Orin?"

"Yeah I'm still at his place. Can you come pick me up?"

I was confused..even more confused then when I had answered her call.

"Did you have another bad night?"

I could see Audrey was smiling through the phone.

"Quite the opposite actually."

"What happened?"

"I broke up with Orin. He's out of my life for good."

I almost dropped the phone and started to scream.

Crystal and Ronette came in from the other room.

"What's going on ?" they asked in unison

I caught my breath.

"Audrey's on the phone. She broke up with Orin."

Elated screams erupted from my other two friends.

Ronette grabbed the phone out of my hands.

"Audrey, it's rRonette. We're so proud of you. Are you home?"

"No, I'm still at Orin's place. I was actually calling to see if Chiffon could come pick me up"

I took the phone back and said "I'll be there in about 10 minutes or so.

As soon as I hung up the phone I hugged Crystal and Ronette. They were crying tears of joy.

"I am so happy she finally dumped Orin." Ronette said.

"Me too." Crystal said.

I broke away from the embrace and went to the closet to get my jacket.

"Can you guys to me a favor and give Seymour a call? I think he should hear this wonderful news too."

Ronette nodded. "I'll take care of that we should all celebrate tonight."

I left the apartment and began the 10 minute walk to the sleaziest part of Skid Row where Orin formerly resided.

As I walked up the drive way to Orin's house I noticed the lights were still on. Audrey must have done that for my sake. I entered the house and was shocked by the mess I saw in the living room. This must been the scene of their latest battle.

Audrey was armed with a broom and shovel and was sweeping up broken shards of glass.

"I see you're cleaning up the aftermath of the battle." I said

Audrey nodded.

"Do you have any wounds from this recent battle? I asked.

"Not many. Let me just finishing cleaning this mess up and then we can leave

It didn't take her long to finish cleaning. Audrey closed all the lights and shut the door behind her closing the door to a past she most definitely didn't deserve to remember.

We got back to the apartment and Seymour was sitting on the couch. He immediately got up to embrace Audrey.

"Audrey, I'm so happy you dumped Orin."

Audrey kissed Seymour lightly on the cheek. "I am too. Now the two of us can form a relationship and I don't have to feel like I'm cheating on him."

"We want ALL the details" Ronette said excitedly.

Audrey looked exhausted yet incredibly relieved to be done with the emotional turmoil her relationship with Orin had been causing her

"Well, I stated off like any other date. We were snuggled on his couch watching movies and I told him
I needed to talk to him."

"Were you up front and honest with him about the relationship and how he has been treating you?

"Yes I was. He was totally clueless to the fact that he was being abusive to me. He accused me of cheating on him and threw a few vases against the wall and slapped me again?"

"What did you do next? Seymour asked

"Locked myself in the kitchen and called the police reporting him for domestic violence."

We all screamed in celebratory delight. Seymour wrapped Audrey in another embrace.

"Audrey, we're all so happy for you." Ronette said.

"And you should be proud of yourself too. You did a great thing by standing up to Orin," I said

"I am proud of myself. I am happy that I won't have to deal with Orin's abusive behavior anymore."

I brought out glasses of root beer from the kitchen and passed them around

"Let's toast to a new beginning." I said

Everyone took a glass.

Seymour said " To our future together."

And we clinked our glasses in salute.

Author's Note: Abuse Reactions , Banished to Lapush my Twilgiht/Little Shop Crossover and Standing Up Again A Story of Overcoming Abuse will be my last respective fics in the Little Shop of Horrors fandom. From this point forward I will be wrting fan fictions in other fandoms such as Jersey Boys and Chicago since I have grown tiresome of writing about Little Shop and feel as if my story lines have gotten repetitive. I also am considering disabling my account after Christmas because of lack of use. If I don't fully disable it I will just stop posting fics and still comment on other people's stories. I have been realizing I have been far too busy with work and other time constraints to be constantly posting things on this website. Thanks to everyone for your continuing support and commenting on my fics.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Little Shop character aside from the ones I have created which are Audrey's father and sisters which are mentioned in Chapter 1 but are explored deeper in my second full length Little Shop fic Epilouge To The Three Matchmakers
