She hadn't stopped crying. Her tears were getting his blankets all wet. Harrison himself had stepped out to the kitchen and was "making" something in there, although Abby found that most food made by college boys didn't turn out good. At least he was trying.

CRASH

Abby heard the sound of ceramic breaking and Harrison muttering a swear that she probably wasn't suppose to hear. She smiled through her tears, then dragged a hand across her eyes. He wasn't such a bad creep after all.

He came out with two coffee cups, each steaming. "Chamomile tea." Harrison handed the Garfield mug to her," It's suppose to calm you down."

"Thank-- Thank you." Abby took a sip, cleared her voice, and wiped her eyes ," I didn't expect you to be a tea drinker."

"I'm not. I think it tastes horrible."

"Why do you have it?"

" My sister sometimes stops by when she's driving though, she's a big tea drinker. That happens to be her favorite. "

Abby nodded and took another sip of the tea. It did relieve some of her stress and make her feel better. It seemed to have stopped the waterworks for now. She still had sniffles and a runny nose though. She used more tissues.

"Would you like to talk about it?"he asked gently, referring to why she had shown up at his door crying.

" Maybe lat-- la- later." tears started running down her face again.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. It's just that you looked like were getting over it and I'm curious why you showed up at my door, seeing as you've been avoiding me for the whole year."

"I-I haven't beeen avoiding ... you. And it's m- m-my fault-t that I'm upset-et."

"Yeah you have."

"No."

"You think I'm a creep because I think your beautiful and you already have a boyfriend. "

Abby shook her head. "Ex boyfriend-d-d. An- And I have a-a-a right to be creeped out. Yo-You are always follllowing m-me."

"No I'm not."

"Yeah you are-e-e. Imagine having a b-bou-bou- bouquet come from a-a person that you d-d-don't know and already having a boyfriend..." she finished and exhaled a sharp breath. "You follow me in-in in the classes. You're like the-the stalker from hellll."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you felt like that."

"You thought I had a crush on you?" Abby wiped some of the tears and regained a bit of her voice. "I had a boyfriend."

"No but I didn't think you liked Chris that much. It looked more of like a popularity thing."

"It wasn't." she sniffed and took a couple more sips of tea. Her voice getting stronger in anger. "But now its over anyway."

"I'm sorry."

"Its not your fault. I caught him with someone else and then... and then" she paused" He ran after me and I was in my my my room. And i was in my dorm-m-m and he came in and I had fi-fir- fire in my hand, and he remembered his fa-fa-father, and Im a mutant and and and -" she was hyperventilating

"Abby calm down." Harrison said gently embracing her in a hug.

Abby was surprised how easily her arms wrapped around him. She started to sob on his shoulder and he just sat there letting her cry. For a moment he wasn't the creepy stalker Harrison McDonald. He was just plain old Harrison and now he didn't seem to creepy. The moment was shattered.

"Harrison! Open Up! I know she's in there!" Chris' voice came though the door as he pounded.

Abby scrambled up, the fear evident on her face. Harrison didn't say a thing but put his finger to his lips and lead her over to the rusty fire escape. "Go to the top of the building." he said, his voice barely audible.

"Harrison I'm gonna beat the fucking shit out of you if you don't open that door! I know that Abby is in there!"

Harrison got up and ruffled his hair and went up to the door, putting on his best groggy face.

"Wilkins? Jesus Christ I was asleep. Why did you fuckin wake me up?"

"Shut it. I know that mutant is in here. Where the fuck is she." he said stepping into the room.

"What mutant? There's a freakin mutant on the campus. Where are the damn cops?"

"Don't play this shit with me, I've looked everywhere else. That thing is a mutant." He spat. "And I know you know where she is."

Harrison blinked. "Wait, who's a mutant?"

"Listen McDonald," The blond haired boy's forearm came suddenly, sandwiching Harrison's throat between the wall and his forearm. "I know that you know where she fuckin is."

Harrison's eyes narrowed and his hand closed on Chris' forearm "Who the fuck are you talking about?"

"You know who the fuck I'm talking about!" Chris yelled, throwing him into a shelf and knocking Abby's tea cup to the ground. Harrison was back up in a flash, tackling Chris' to the ground. He dealt punches at his face. They were like two dogs. Each fighting the other for the last scrap of meat. Chris punched Harrison in the eye and Harrison gave him a broken nose. Harrison knocked the wind out of Chris and Chris kicked him in the stomach sending him over on the carpet. Abby's ex boyfriend dealt another few punches at the college student and received a hard blow to the temple that left him disoriented. Chris staggered back a few steps holding onto his head and came back with sudden fury knocking his opponent into a drawer and then to the ground. He took out a handgun from near his waist and pointed it at Harrison. "Don't you dare lie to me again. For the last time where is Abby?"

"I don't know. You're her boyfriend."

Chris looked down at the broken teacup. The red lipstick line was evident. "She was here you bastard, tell me where she is."

Harrison didn't reply but instead cradled his left arm.

"I don't fuckin believe this." Chris muttered in a silent rage, lowering the weapon. He lifted up the things on the bed, tore open the sheets, flipped over the mattress, knocked over bookshelves, knocked down drawers and emptied out cabinets, shattered plates, knocked over a desk, searched the bathroom, and shredded a closet. He looked down at Harrison and lifted the gun. His patience had run out. "For the last time, where the hell did you hide her?"

"Would you like to fuckin know." Harrison grinned.

There was a loud quick BANG. Chris left the dorm with a smoking gun in his hand.

we haven't decided on a name for chapter three and we need to think of better names anyway. The mutant problem was not a very good name for this chapter when i think about it.
