Abby made her way through the crowed. As Abby got closer to the kitchen she could hear some arguing. She was able to recognize Carters voice, but she still couldn't understand what he was saying. She then heard silence but only for a few seconds. Then she hear Carter begin to talk in a calm voice. She couldn't quite make out the first couple of seconds of the conversation but as she reached the kitchen door she hear him. His every word.
"Ok dad the truth is…… you're right I don't love Abby"
Abby couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Carter continues talking
"in fact I'm breaking up with her tonight. She's not the person I would like to end up with. Like you said she's just a way to pass time and anyways she's only a nurse."
The moment Abby heard those words her world closed in on her. She slowly stepped back and began to walk towards the front door not wanting to hear any more. She was now fighting back tears.
Gamma spotted Abby leaving. She could tell something was wrong. She made her way through the crowed but was unable to reach Abby . She watched as she walked out the door.

"Their satisfied?" Carter said bitterly
"John .."
Carter cut him off before he could finish .
"you know what dad save it! I don't want to hear anything that comes out of your mouth! I'm so tired of hearing your nagging! You don't have the right to control my life. I'm going to marry Abby and nobody especially you are going stop me! I don't care, disown me if you'd like I don't need your money! I'm going to live my life the way I want to! I knew it would be a mistake to come here tonight! The only reason I came was to see you but the way you're acting I don't think I want to see you again!
Carter turned around and walked out of the kitchen, leaving his father standing in shock at what he had told him.
Carter stood still for a moment. He suddenly felt light headed and a little tired. Carter didn't think much of it. 'Its probably the stress" he told himself. He shacked his head and walked towards the crowed. Carter began to searched the crowed for Abby but was unable find her. Finally he spotted Gamma. He walked through the crowed of people, it was like a maze in their.
"Gamma where's Abby. It's time for us to leave"
"Well I guess she won you"
"what do you mean" Carter asked puzzled
" She look off, I was going to stop her but I didn't reach her in time. I was only able to see her leave"
"I don't know why she would leave with out me, maybe she wasn't feeling good . But why wouldn't she tell me she was leaving?
"I don't know John"
"Maybe she didn't want to interrupt my conversation with my dad"
"Ohh you spoke to your father?"
Carter scratched his head
"More like argued with him"
"Why what happened?" Gamma asked very worried.
"Gamma he wants to control my life. He says to find someone else, that Abby isn't good enough for me. If he can't except the woman I love then he can't except me for who I am either so I told him that if keeps acting like this it would be best if he didn't see me again"
"John you didn't!"
"I'm sorry Gamma but I cant have I'm insulting Abby the way he did today. I won't except his lectures on how to live my life. I don't want him controlling me. I don't want him to believe that he still can."
Gamma nodded but still looked troubled by what her grandson had told her.
They were both silent for a few seconds then Carter took a deep breath and spoke softly.
"Gamma I told him"
She looked at him.
"told him what?' she asked
"I told him that I was asking Abby to marry me tonight"
"Is that why you two stated to argue"
"Actually we started arguing after he found out Abby was my girlfriend"
"Ohh I see, well John I'm going to have a chat with your father maybe I can talk some sense into him."
"Ok Gamma, well I'm going to head to Abby's apartment to see if she's alright and to pop the big question" Carter said very happily.
Gamma smiled "Good luck John. I hope everything goes well."
Carter smiled at her and nodded .
With that Carter walked towards the front door . He exited the house with a grin on his face, tonight he would ask the love of his live to marry him. He didn't need to wish for her to say yes. He knew she would say yes because he knew she loved him as much as he loved her. They were going to be together for the rest of their lives in total happiness. Nothing was going to go wrong tonight . Nothing. Or so he thought.
