Abby's Point of View
"I love you Abby." I froze. He can't love me. E doesn't even know me. He looks at me expecting me to say it back but I can't. My throat is like sandpaper and no matter how many times I try to the feeling won't go away.
"I…I…I…" But the sound of my pager saves me. I glance down at it and even though Susan's phone number flashed at me I lied and said it was the hospital. "The hospital. I better go." He nodded his head like he understood but I knew that I had hurt him by not saying I love you back. But I can't say those three words. Every time I say them I get hurt and those people know about my past.
Ray's Point of View
She didn't say it back to me. I was left sitting in my apartment alone feeling like a fool. I noticed she never touched her glass of wine. I grabbed it and drowned the liquid. Why didn't se say it back? I know its only been three months but still. I thought she felt the same way I do. But instead she left.
Abby's Point of View
I'm sitting here alone on my couch with the covers wrapped around me. Why do I feel so bad about not saying it? It's not like we broke up or anything. He just told me he loved me. He loves me! But he doesn't even know me. He doesn't know I'm an alcoholic. He doesn't know my mom and brother are bipolar. He doesn't know I got a divorce. He doesn't know I was married before. He doesn't know I had an abortion before. He doesn't know…anything about me.
Another A/N- I know you want to know what happened but you'll find out soon.
