I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Katrina's Point of View-
I put the damp towels on the back of a chair at the dining table walking around it pulling my phone out of my pocket checking to make sure it worked and amazingly it did, but the battery was flashing meaning it was about to die heading over to my wall charger plugging it in for it to charge as I went to my dresser and closet to pull out dry clothes and grab a fresh towel, I rummaged through my clothes deciding to go with a nice but casual outfit, a pair of my nice jeans and a casual shirt that I could use as a nicer shirt if I accessorized and with a nicer pair of pants. I grabbed a pair of undergarments along with socks and my towel then the bathing supplies walking out of my room making sure I have my keys locking my door heading down the hall not seeing Abed, it was nice not seeing as many girls as usual in the bathroom. I showered until I felt un-slimy and clean again, I turned the shower off drying off with the dry towel feeling soft against my skin and pulled on the dry and fresh clothes feeling crisp against my skin compared to the damp cloths, I wrapped my hair up in the towel gathering my things heading out of the bathroom and went straight to my door only hearing my phone ring. I set my things on my table rushing over to the phone seeing that its only my parents and letting it go to my voicemail. I went back to my wet clothes setting it in my hamper, I went into the kitchen grabbing a couple of paper towels taken them out to the table wiping off the wetness that my clothes possibly left. After crumpling the paper up walking it back over to the garbage can hearing my phone chime that I had a voicemail.
"Of course, they'll leave a voicemail." I said tossing the towels away then walked around the counter to my phone opening it to listen to this important message that was left, emphasis on important, apparently no one cared on informing me that my older sister was pregnant with her second child I believe, but it might be her third, that is why my parents were calling to tell me she went into labor and what hospital she was at. I hung up quickly trying to think straight of what I need to do and etc. before speeding over there for my new niece or nephews birth. I was kneeling on the floor pulling on socks and shoes, I stood back up pulling down my duffel bag I used for my costumes in theater only to throw a couple of fresh outfits in it, I didn't know how long she would be in labor for, I then tossed my monologue book into the duffel bag, I hope she isn't in labor for 15 hours like she did when my nephew was born. I pulled my hair out of my towel brushing it out and tossed my hair brush into the bag. I continued prepping my bag and myself when a knock at the door, 'Crap, date with Abed!' I thought to myself. I fumbled with my camera and the case as I went to the door opening it for Abed.
"Hel-lo? Your barely ready." Abed said.
"I got to cancel, my sisters in labor, I have to get going." I said as I walked back in shoving my camera into my purse with him standing besides me now.
"I'm coming with you."
"No Abed, I want you to come and meet my family one day, but right now isn't the right time. I promise I'll be back by the concert tomorrow at 8. I'll call you when I get there and after the birth I will call when I head back." I said zipping my purse up pulling it onto my shoulder walking past him to the kitchen grabbing a couple of bottles of water. Walking back out past Abed bending down pulling the duffel bag onto my other shoulder.
"Understandable, drive safe and I'll see you tomorrow hopefully." Abed said as I could tell he was disappointed and upset.
"Aw Abed, I'm sorry but my family is first." I said walking over hugging him and kissing him, "Be back tomorrow, I promise." I said as I followed him out my dorm locking it and he walked me out to my car and watched as I threw my duffel bag into the back seat of my car. I stood between the door and the frame of my car.
"Get pictures and be careful." Abed said.
"I will, be safe too and it'll give you time to work on your film."
"Are you sure you don't want to go grab a bite quickly?"
"I got to hit the road….we'll go do a late dinner tomorrow after the concert." I said leaning forward kissing him quickly before stepping into my car sitting and tossing my purse onto the passenger seat. I pulled my other leg in pulling the door shut as I slid the key into the ignition. I slowly started my car watching Abed slowly walking to the front of my car waving a little as I put my car in reverse waving a little before I backed out and headed the six hour drive, three hours since I sped, to the hospital they were at. I parked my car in the closest spot I could climbing out pulling my purse and keys with me. I locked the doors before I shut it. I pulled my purse onto my shoulder pulling out my phone texting Abed that I made it and walked through the automatic doors seeing my parents pacing around the waiting room, my mom more than my dad.
Abed's Point of View-
I stood there helplessly for a couple of minutes before I turned to walk back inside the dorms bumping into Jeff literally, he was still wearing that green shirt and blue boxers he has had on for almost all week.
"Why so sad buddy?" Jeff asked happily.
"My date got cancelled, her sisters in labor and I couldn't go with."
"Welcome to the mind of females, I know what will cheer you up, the free sundae bar! Come on." Jeff said as we went to the cafeteria, I was pretty hungry and who knows how far Katrina had to drive to get wherever her family is. We waited in line making our way up to the sundae bar and I was making mine when Britta joined us.
"Hey guys, what's this?" She asked.
""Hey Britta, free sundaes." I said as I was gently nudged by Jeff turning to see his mouth now filled with whip cream that he sprayed into his mouth, I rolled my eyes turning back to Britta, "We need to talk." I said walking her to a table.
"What?"
"You got me into this, you now got to help me. Jeff's got nothing to live for, he has barely been to class or our study groups. Before he lost his apartment, he had something to work for, his degree for law and now that's gone he just seems useless, nothings important."
"What can I do?"
"Sleep with him."
"No…"
"Brita, give him something to work for, look at him…." I said nodding to Jeff who was bending over into the vending machine.
"I'll think of something, just don't be home tomorrow afternoon."
"Thanks."
"It has nothing to deal with your girlfriend does it?" Britta asked.
"He has ruined a couple of things, but I don't want to see him like this any longer."
"Right…I got to go think of something." Britta said.
"Abed, it's open!" Jeff yelled as he looked back at me.
"And fast…" Britta said as she turned back to me before she climbed off her stool, I sat there watching him as he dug through the machine. I walked with him back to the dorm, I made myself a sandwich and pulled out my laptop editing my video as Jeff snacked away at the sundae and candy he snatched. I got a text from Katrina three hours later saying she made it, either she lives three hours away or she sped and she lives further than three hours away. I shut my laptop off climbing off the couch and onto the top bunk laying on my bed laying on my back staring up at the ceiling thinking until I fell asleep.
