"No Jed where were you. I called Leo over an hour ago and he said you had just left.

"Please let me explain……

1:00 AM

"Let you explain what's that supposed to mean?" Abbey said nervously.

Abbey Bartlet new her husband was an attractive man but she also new that he would never try anything with another woman. She had known that since the day they met.

It was at a party she had thrown for her boyfriend, Elliot Stabler. Elliot was a fourth year and she was a third. They had dated for about year and three months and where planning on getting married. At the party that day Elliot had been outside with his friends while Abbey was tending to her friends. Elliot had pulled her aside to met one of his best friends. It just so happens that his best friend was Jed Bartlet.

"Abbey I want you to met my best friend Jed Bartlet. Jed this is my fiancé and the love of my life Abbey Barrington."

"Well it's nice to finally meet you, Elliot talks about you all the time."

"All wonderful things I hope" Jed said while punching Elliot playfully in the arm.

"Of course I would never say anything bad about you"

And so they talked for about 15 minutes until Abbey was called away to clean up the juice someone had spilled.

"Well it was nice to meet you Jed" Abbey said as she smiled at him

"Oh please the pleasure is all m...mine" Jed replied with a little bit of a slur that Abbey noticed immediately but didn't say anything.

"Hello Earth to Abbey" Jed said waving his hand in front of her face

"What huh?"

"I was about to explain but you just closed your eyes for like ten minutes. What's wrong?" Jed asked puzzled.

"Nothing, you were explaining were you were?"

"As I was saying I didn't go anywhere after my call I went for a walk in the rose garden and then went to talk to senior staff individually." Jed answered calmly

"Jed did you know that senior staff has a clock out time of no past 12:30 except during campaign season?"

"What does that mean?"

"It means that senior staff has to leave the building by 12:30 or they are escorted out except for during campaign season?"

"What…when, when did you find this out?"

"Leo told me when I asked what you were doing and if there where any possibilities that you would not be home."

Silence

"So the question still remains, where did you go after your walk?" Abbey asked using her serious voice.

"I went….."

"If you even went on a walk in the rose garden I'll never know…"

"I was helping CJ"

"Jed I told you senior staff went home at 12:30"

Silence

"Jed"

Silence

"Jed"

"I went to talk to Lisa.

"Lisa brewer?"

"Yea."

"You mean to tell me instead of coming up to the residence to be with your wife you go off and have a little fling with Lisa Brewer."

"Abbey"

"I can't believe it you actually went off to be with your ex-girlfriend instead of me"

"Abbey"

"Well I mean if your going to have little flings In the rose garden so can I. hmm why don't I just call up my ex-boyfriend and see what he says. I'll get right on that" Abbey said while picking up the phone

"Abbey listen"

"Know Jed you listen, just because you're the president doesn't mean that I have to obey your every thought and just forget about Lisa. I mean I can't believe you actually went on a date with her. In the one place were you and I meet every day to be together? Is that why you take me there is it because you take all your little dates there." Abbey said getting out of bed and walking towards the door.

"Abbey come on you know that's not true. Lisa's just a friend who needed my help"

"Go to hell, jackass" she yelled as she slammed the door.

Abbey was so upset she didn't even know where she was going but a few minutes later she showed up at her daughter's door. She slowly knocked and walked inside.

Jed didn't know what happened. How could he have let the conversation get away from him that rapidly? He sat down on the bed and held his head in his hands when all of a sudden Abbey came running through the door. Hoping she came back to apologize he stood up and started walking towards her. What he heard out of her was scattered dreams.

"Zoey's gone"
