A/N: Thanx again to those who reviewed. I'm still really sorry about the whole Ch. 2 mix-up. Please keep reviewing so I know if I screw up again.

Off to the story we go.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Hi, Luka, it's Abby. Is Susan there?"

The line is silent for a moment and then he starts talking again, "Abby?" What did he forget? "Wow. It's been a while. How are you? Is everything okay?"

Guess he didn't forget. "I'm fine, Luka. Um. are you at Susan's apartment?"

"Uh, yeah." I knew I had the number right. Wait- that means- "Would you like to speak with her?" -Luka and Susan?

"Yeah, please." A smile creeps across my lips at the thought of them. Together. I hear some rustling in the background and after a moment, Susan gets on the phone.

"Abby?!!?! Is that you?"

"Hey, Susan. How are you?" I start twirling the phone cord with my fingers.

"I'm okay. So, I haven't talked to you in like three years. How are you? Is everything okay?" I can just picture her face.

"Yeah, everything is fine." I pause for a second. There's one question I gotta get the answer to. "Um, Susan?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you and Luka-?" That guy really gets around.

I can hear her give a little laugh. "Well, yeah. Kinda, um, yeah." Now I'm the one giggling. Brandon looks over at me giving me a look that says 'what are you laughing at?' But then his show returns from the commercial break and he turns back around.

"That's great, Susan." Iswitch back to serious mode. "Listen, I have something to tell you, and it's really complicated. I think I'd have to tell you in person. Can we meet somewhere?"

"Sure. Do you remember that coffee shop a couple streets down from County?"

"Yeah."

"How 'bout we meet there in like, a half an hour?"

"That sounds great, Susan. Thank you so much."

We say our good byes and I hang up the phone. I look at the alarm clock on the nightstand. The bright red numbers show 4:57 PM. I have to meet Susan at that coffee shop at 5:30. That gives me enough time to feed Brandon and maybe go to the park or something with him.

"Brandon?" His head turns to me. "You hungry?"

The next chapter should be up soon. The rate for how fast this thing gets up really depends on how much homework I have every night. Thanx to everyone who's reviewed so far. Don't forget this chapter!
