Bradin had been trying to get ahold of Abby for the whole week end, but she was avoiding him. It wasn't until Sunday night when he finally saw her sitting alone on the beach. He went and sat down beside her.
"Can we talk?" Bradin asked.
"I have nothing to say to you" Abby replied.
"Maybe not, but I have something to say to you" Bradin said.
When Abby didn't say anything Bradin took that as a sign that she would listen if he talked.
"What happen with Amie..." Bradin started, but was cut off by Abby.
"Is none of my buisness" Abby said.
"It's not what it looked like" Bradin said.
"It looked like she was giving you head" Abby replied.
"I..." Bradin started, but once again Abby cut him off.
"Whatever Bradin, I really don't care. I just thought that you were different. I know that every player is given a cheerleader, but I didn't think you would actually use her" Abby said.
"I didn't want to" Bradin replied.
"Right...I believe that. Bradin it doesn't matter. You're a guy and I guess I just forgot that when it comes to intimacy guys really don't care who they use...or hurt" Abby said as she stood up and started walking away.
"That's not what happen. Come on Abby, you have to believe me" Bradin called after her.
"Leave me alone" Abby called over her shoulder.

"Dude what's wrong?" Kevin asked the next day at lunch.
"Nothing" Bradin replied.
"There's got to be something. Cause I hate to say it, but you're a major bummer to be around lately" Matt said.
"I know what will cheer you up" Kevin said when Bradin didn't replied "There's this party on the beach tonight. We can get you totally wasted and then you'll forget your problems" he said.
"What do you?" Kevin asked as he nudged him.
"Sure" Bradin replied.
"Great!" Matt said "We'll see you there"
Bradin went to the rest of his classes, but he wasn't paying attention at all.
000000000000000000000000000000000000
Bradin had forgotten how easy it was to drink away all of your troubles. Everything seemed great right now.
"Hey!" Kevin said as he stumbled over to where Bradin was sitting in the sand.
"Hey" Bradin replied.
"This is awesome isn't it" Kevin said.
Bradin nodded.
"Hello lover" Carly said as she crawled into Kevin's lap. Carly was Kevin's cheerleader.
"Aren't you looking sexy tonight" Kevin said.
"I'll catch you later" Bradin said as he stood up. He wasn't going to watch Kevin and Carly make out.
It took him a minute to get his balance, but soon enough he had mastered the whole one foot in front of the other thing.
"Get away from me!" Bradin heard Abby yell.
Then he saw her run down the beach with Mike stumbling after her. Mike caught up to her and grabbed her arms, whipping her around to face him.
Bradin tried to walk faster and go help Abby, but he tripped over a rock and fell. It was there that Bradin passed out, unable to help Abby.

The next morning Bradin woke up with the sun blazing in his eyes. He looked down at his watch. Crap it was 9. Aunt Ava would be furious.
Then he remembered what had been happenning when he passed out and he forgot about his aunt. He stood up and looked around for Abby. Where was she?
When he couldn't find her he went to her house. He knocked on the door and it made his head pound. The down side to drowning your problems. You have a major hang over the next morning.
Abby came to the door a few minutes later. Bradin looked her over. She had bruises on her arms and legs. Her skirt was ripped and there was a large bruise on her inner thigh.
"Are you okay?" Bradin asked.
"Do I look okay?" Abby replied as she started to cry.
"Just leave me alone" she said as she tried to close the door, but Bradin stopped her.
"What happened? Did Mike hurt you?" Bradin asked.
When Abby's body started shaking with sobs Bradin tried to give her a hug, but she pulled away.
"Can I come in? We can talk about this" Bradin suggested.
Abby didn't give him an answer, she just walked away towards the living room. Bradin closed the door and then followed her.
Abby was sitting on the couch waiting for him. Bradin sat down beside her and put his hand on her arm. Abby flinched away from his touch.
"What happenned?" Bradin asked.
Abby didn't reply, she just examined her hands carefully.
"Do you want me to tell you what I think happenned?" Bradin suggested.
Again Abby didn't say anything.
"I think that Mike got really drunk at the party last night" Bradin started.
Abby nodded, her eyes still down cast.
"And I think he decided that he should be able to have sex with girlfriend, not only other girls" Bradin continued.
Abby had tears streaming down her face.
"Now the only question is...did he rape you or did he pass out before he could?" Bradin asked.
There was a long silence.
"He didn't pass out" Abby said quietly.
"He raped you?" Bradin questioned.
Abby nodded slowly.
"I'll kill him!" Bradin cried as he jumped up off the couch.
"Just leave it be" Abby said.
"No...no I can't" Bradin replied.
"Bradin listen to me. Beating up Mike won't help me at all. What I need right now is a firned that I can trust" Abby said.
Bradin calmed down a bit and sat down beside Abby again.
"Are you going to be that friend?" Abby asked.
"Do you believe that I wasn't using Amie?" Bradin asked.
"Yes, I know that you wouldn't do something like that" Abby replied.
Bradin tried again to give Abby a hug, but yet again she pulled away.
"I'm sorry. I'm just not ready to be touched by anyone" Abby said.
"Don't be sorry" Bradin replied.
"Thank-you" Abby said.
"For what?" Bradin asked.
"Being a friend" Abby replied.
"No problem" Bradin replied.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How long do you think I should wait until Abby lets Bradin touch her again?
And what holiday could I use, because for the sake of the plot I want them to have like a week off school.
