Abigail came back and found Zane and Stiles still talking and Corbeau still looked upset. "So how are my two favorite guys acting?" she asked as Zane turned around and smiled.
"Abby, we were just talking on how much you are…"
"Knock it off, I know what you were doing Zane, you can trust this one," she smiled walking over to Stiles.
"I just don't want to see you hurt," he nodded as she kissed Corbeau on the nose.
"Well, we need to get going, be good," she laughed as Stiles and her walked out of the stables.
"Aren't I always?" Zane yelled as she laughed.
"I was talking to Corbeau," she laughed as Zane smiled. The two had gotten back into the car and drove toward the symphony.
"So what did you two talk about?"
"Nothing at all, he just told me not to hurt you," he laughed. Abby's phone rang and the radio was muted so Abby could answer through blue tooth.
"Sh," she looked at Stiles as he nodded. "Hello?" Abby asked questioningly.
"Abby, when are you coming home?" her mother asked as Abby smiled.
"Never," she answered.
"Where are you living?"
"You don't need to know," she responded as her mother sighed angrily.
"I'm sorry, but you need to stop acting like a child. Skylar told me you went to a party and were found making out in the bathroom with this Stiles," she said appalled as Abby's mouth dropped.
"She's lying. She was the one kissing Stiles."
"Abby, I thought I told you never to see that boy again." Abby was getting angrier and angrier.
"Oh my God, mother drop it. I don't care if you forbid this relationship, you can't stop me. Now why are you calling me?"
"Because I want to invite you to brunch tomorrow morning, we really need to talk darling," she said softly as Abby sighed.
"Very well, I guess I can see you tomorrow, but if you dare and try and destroy this relationship mother, I swear I will never…"
"Abby, don't worry." With that Abby disconnected the conversation and looked at Stiles.
"I am so sorry," she sighed as he leaned over and kissed her.
"Does it look like I care what others think?" he asked as she smiled. They pulled into the parking garage and walked down toward the symphony hall.
"You have the tickets?" she asked as his face turned white.
"What I thought you had it."
"Are you kidding me?" she blurted as Stiles started laughing pulling the tickets out.
"I knew I could get your heart rate up," he chuckled as she took her black purse and smacked his arm. He handed their tickets over and the two walked to the bar.
"Ah good evening Madame," a familiar voice called from behind as Abby turned from Stiles to see who it was.
"Joey, hi," she squeaked hugging him.
"Abigail, this is Jena," he sighed as the young girl in red stepped forward, both girls smiled and shook their hands.
"And this is Stiles," she grabbed her boyfriends arm as he stepped forward.
"Ah, Stiles, you better keep this on a leash."
"Joey," Jena snapped as Abby laughed.
"Well it was good seeing you," Abby nodded her head in a form of a bow. She took Stiles and the two had walked into the theater.
"That wasn't awkward at all," he laughed as they took their seats in the Mezzanine right above the stage.
"Tell me about it," she laughed opening the small book. She opened to the page of what songs would be playing and saw it had five songs from the Phantom and four songs from Love Never Dies. "I told you," she smiled showing him the page as he leaned over and kissed the top of her head. Before they knew it the lights dimmed down and the first violinist and conductor walked on stage. They immediately got into playing the phantom's theme as Abby smiled wildly.
"You look like a child," Stiles whispered getting a hint of a chuckle out of her. As the two next songs played and they got to Think of Me Abby began singing with the singer while Stiles slowly tangled his fingers with hers.
"You should do this stuff," Stiles spoke as the intermission lights came on filling the entire house.
Do what stuff?" she chuckled.
"Sing, I mean you look like you're having so much fun and your voice is to die for."
"Stop it, Stiles, I sound like a dying cat."
"No, truly, your voice is romantic and believe me, you can do this."
"Seriously, Stiles, my voice is…" he cut her off but placing his lips to hers causing them both to go into a deep silence the world to them fell away. When he pulled back her cheeks had colored and her white teeth shown through; a couple of kids sat there looking at them making immature kissy faces, but when they were caught by their parents they got smacked upside the head.
"I'm so sorry," the mother looked at them.
"No, it's alright, boys will be boys," Abby declared dignified. After the second half had started the four songs from Love Never Dies played…Love Never Dies, Till I hear you Sing, Beauty Underneath had played and they had just started on the final song from the show as Abby sung all the parts making Stiles to laugh a little. This final song the people began to act it out but Stiles wasn't watching them. "Come closer…I beg you…closer still," Abby sung as tears started forming in her eyes watching the woman playing Christine lying on the floor.
"Kiss me one last time." Both the singer and Abby sung while Stiles leaned over and did as she asked. The music played and it seemed the two would never come up for air, but eventually he sat back normal as she laid her head on his shoulder feeling warm all over her body. The symphony ended and the two had walked out.
"You want to go to the coffee shop?" he asked offering his arm as she nodded and hooked her arm to his. They walked down the street and grabbed a table. While Stiles was getting their drinks Abby's phone started to ring, she pulled it from her bag and saw 'unknown' and so she answered.
"Hello?"
"We need to talk," the voice on the other line demanded.
"I can't I'm at the library," she lied.
"Don't mess with me Abigail, I see you right through the window," he snapped as she looked out and saw someone leaning on the light post waving to her. She got up and told Stiles she needed air before running out the door.
"I told you leave me alone," she snapped getting in Derek's face.
"Abby, I am too involved, I told you, I will never stop."
"And I told you I wanted it stop, and you don't listen. I told you I love Stiles, Derek, and this could be it, I would marry him if he ever asked me too."
"Liar, you say this as an empty promise."
"I speak the truth Derek, I love him with every inch of me, I found that out tonight."
"I will never stop…"
"DEREK! If you try and get in my way, I will kill you."
"Over my dead body," he chuckled grabbing her wrist, "Abigail, you know I can kill him, I could easily rip his throat out if I wanted. Why would you leave me for a nerd like that?" he chuckled as the rage built inside her.
"Because you slept with Sky, you insolent Jackal," she smacked him and grabbed him by the collar. "You come near him or me again, you will pay, do you hear me!" she hissed through her teeth as he looked at her in shock not from what she said about what she'll do to him, but finding out what he did.
"Abigail I am so, so sorry."
"Save it, I don't want to hear it come from you either," she snapped walking back toward the coffee house.
