Must Read of the Week: Blind by jenforvel
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
As Olivia finished placing her last shirt in her bag, Abbie tried her father's cell one last time. He probably went out for a while with the guys to finish the deal. He definitely took that part of Texas with him.
Sighing, she flipped her cell closed and looked at Olivia.
"You didn't get a hold of your dad?" Olivia asked with a bit of panic in her voice.
"Don't worry, if, and that's a big if, he does realize you are there, he is leaving in the morning so it's no problem, trust me. Plus, trust me when I say he will welcome you with opening arms." Abbie helped Olivia gather her bags as they made there way down stairs. They called a cabbie even though it wasn't that far away, it was still eleven o'clock at night. Getting into the cab, Abbie looked astonished at it, and even more when Olivia gave directions.
"Please tell me you have been in one of these before," Olivia begged.
"No…"
"Oh my gosh, you hick!" Olivia accused with a large smile.
"Bite me," Abbie said as the cab slowed a few moments later.
They walked into Abbie's apartment three minutes later, dragging the heavier bags with them. They had packed enough for a week and said they would get more when they had a car. So, after dropping the stuff in Abbie's room, Abbie went in search for the note that would be on the kitchen table or fridge.
Abbie,
I went with Jones and Kyle for drinks and to sign off on the deal. Wish me luck. I'll be home late, probably past midnight, and I don't want you up that late. Get to bed at a decent time with a decent meal in your system.
Love,
DaddyAbbie crumbled up the paper and threw it in the wastebasket at the end of the counter top. She was tried of her dad doing that so many times. She had only seen him twice this week, once when he was yelling at her for skipping.
Her mind quickly went back to Olivia, who no doubt had it so much harder than her. How could she be the one complaining when Olivia was going through so much worst?
"You okay," Olivia asked, sliding her arm casually around Abbie's waist. She pulled her into a friendly hug before leading her back to Abbie's room.
They sat down on Abbie's bed, looking silently at each other.
"Greenday, Switchfoot, or Goo Goo Dolls?" Abbie asked.
"Oh, Switchfoot, hands down," Olivia said quickly. She was never the religious type, but she always connected to Switchfoot.
"Awe, and I was starting to like you," Abbie joked with an added pout.
"And you would like…"
"Goo Goo Dolls!" Abbie yelled quickly. "Oh my gosh, Iris is my all time favorite song!"
"You got a point, but no, Dare You to Move," Olivia argued.
"Well which do you want to listen to?" Abbie asked, throwing three large CD holders.
Olivia flipped through all the CDs. Hilary Duff, Relient K, Goo Goo Dolls, Gavin DeGraw, FM Static, Tim McGraw, Hoobastank, and Finger Eleven. She couldn't believe the selections Abbie had. Rolling her eyes, she pulled out Weezer and just looked at Abbie.
"Excuse me, Weezer?"
"Long story…" Abbie said with a laugh.
"And I bet it goes right along with Tatu?" Olivia said with a laugh.
"What's wrong with Tatu?" Abbie asked defensively.
"Okay, never mind…" Olivia said with a roll of the eyes. Olivia flipped through the case until her eyes lit up.
"What?"
"Nope!" Olivia screamed, rolling past Abbie and opened the CD player and quickly added the CD.
She pushed play and the music started playing.
"Yeah, Yeah…"
"Oh my gosh, Josh!" Abbie yelled, at the music! "Olivia, that is really not mine!" Abbie yelled, panicking.
"I love this song!" Olivia said, singing along to Usher's Yeah.
"Yuck," Abbie yelled, all but tackling Olivia to turn it off.
They finally decided on Switchfoot and got dressed while Meant to Live played. They danced around in their spaghetti straps and shorts to a few songs until they realized it was midnight and decided to go to sleep. They sat down in bed as Dare You to Move came on. They both silently listened to it as they slowly drifted into thoughts of recent events.
They woke up Wednesday and went to school like normal. Lunch came quicker than anyone wanted. Olivia, George, and Abbie sat down on the hill with there lunches silently. Abbie sat very close to George, their fingers twined together slowly. Olivia just smiled at them, as she waited until Alex came outside to invite her to the party. When she didn't see her come out fifteen minutes into the thirty-minute lunch hour, she left to go inside, even though Alex's has never ate inside since they came to school here.
After not find her there, she checked the library. Going around to the back area, she found Alex in there, working away on a paper with a few open books around her.
"Hey you," Olivia said, taking a seat.
"Oh, hi," Alex said, brushing her hair out of her face before looking up. Olivia noticed her red face, like she was crying.
"You okay? Were you crying," Olivia asked, taking Alex's hand in hers.
"What, oh no… I just… you know me and allergies," Alex said with a forceful smile. Olivia saw right through the lie but tried a different approach.
"Why weren't you outside?" she asked.
"Oh… I just ate inside quickly so I can finish this stupid paper for that summer program," Alex said, motioning to the papers around her.
"Fun…" Olivia said, realizing she wasn't going to get anything out of her.
"Yeah, well no, not really," Alex laughed, scanning a page quickly.
"Well, what I came to ask you about was there is this awesome party after the dance…"
"Claire or Jane's?"
"Actually… Abbie's… we are all… well if you can, bring a date, and well just have like pizza, music, and then the four girls stay the night. You in?" Alex's face dropped.
"Yeah, like Abbie would want me there," Alex said with an extra roll of the eyes.
"Actually, yeah… she does. But there are two catches, you have to find a date, and Casey Novak is gonna be there," Olivia said with a smile.
"Well if Novak's there… um… I'll ask my mom, but I'm sure I can," Alex said with a smile, "just let me tell Abbie. You got her number?" Olivia smiled at the idea s she wrote the number on a sheet Alex was taking notes on.
Olivia left the library with five minutes till the bell rung to go find Finn. After finding him in outside by the parking lot, he took her aside and they walked towards school, but stayed at the bottom of the hill.
"What's up," he asked, shoving his hands in his pockets.
"Um, well there is this dance thing Friday," Olivia started with a smile.
"So I've heard," he said, playing along.
"Would you be willing to take your pathetic best friend?" she asked with the added puppy doll eyes.
"Yeah, me and Bobby going, that wouldn't be right," he said with a sly smile which Olivia rewarded with him slap in the abs. "I would be honored," he said after a moment. "You wanna walk there?"
"Yeah, that's cool, I'll walk there so we can go with Abbie and George, kay? Oh, by the way, there is a party at Abbie's house afterwards till midnight," she said with a smile and quick kiss before rushing off.
"By the way," he mumbled under his breath as he watched her walk away.
After school, Olivia, Finn, George, and Abbie walked home together. Abbie and George were innocently holding hands, which quickly moved to George's arm around her waist. They were talking about what they were going to do at Abbie's house Friday. As they got to Abbie's apartment, her and George awkwardly hugged before he walked off and they went into their apartments.
"Oh, um, Alex is going to call," Olivia said as they were walking into the door.
"What? Is she coming?" Abbie asked, dropping the bag and heading to get sodas out.
"Yeah, but I think she wants to talk to you, so just, like don't tell her I'm here, K?"
"Sure…" Abbie said before flipping on the TV and digging around in her bag.
They spent the first hour doing homework, talking very little as they had VH1 playing in the back round. About four thirty Abbie's phone rang loudly through the apartment.
She muted the TV before answering the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, um… it's Alex Cabot… from school," the voice said awkwardly.
"Oh, hi… how are you?" she asked politely.
"Truthfully, been better…"
"Ha, yeah, haven't we all," Abbie replied, hoping Alex would start the converstation.
"So… I kinda talked to my dad, he said it would be okay for doing the thing Friday, but I kinda didn't tell em about the guys…" Alex admitted with a laugh.
"Well since I haven't told my dad, don't worry about it?"
"Is he gonna be there?" Alex asked.
"What, no, he left on a business trip today and won't be back tell Sunday, I hope that's not a problem, is it?"
"Only if my parents find out," Alex said quickly.
"Check, don't mention guys or lack of parental guidance," Abbie joked which got Alex laughing.
"So, the thing at the coffee shop?" Alex said after a moment of silence.
"Already forgotten," Abbie said quickly.
"I'm sorry… really, I didn't mean to be such a…"
"…Bitch?"
"Well if you have to put it so harshly," Alex said with a small laugh.
"Well I wasn't the nicest person either, so…"
"Well, I have to go look for a trusty man to bring to the dance… I will talk to you tomorrow?" Alex asked finally.
"Of course," Abbie said, hanging up the phone with a smile.
"You guys best friends now?" Olivia asked, looking up from her book.
