Chap. 9
Note: This fanfiction is almost over, just for you're info.
---Going back to the story---
(Max's POV)
How could I not say yes! If I wouldn't be so shy around her I'd tell her: "Abby I love you!" but of course I just can't tell her! Soon Max, you have to tell her soon! I keep telling myself. And it's time that I'm going to do it! Right after she's going to get out of the hospital!…er… maybe a couple of weeks after.
(End of POV)
(Abby's POV)
I wish I could stay in his arms forever. But of course, being how I am, I'll never have the gut to tell him I love him! Why am I stuck with this dilemma! It's getting on my nerves! I just have to find a way to tell him! Or, maybe it can wait. At least until he's completely heeled from Chelsea. And, until I can get out of the hospital. Yeah! Then I'll tell him!
(End of POV)
The 2 days went by very quickly, Abby had received a lot of visits and flowers from everyone while she was in the hospital. And today, she is able to go home.
-"Now, are you sure you're ready to go home? I mean, if you're still weak we can stay you know"
-"Mom, I'm just fine,"
-"Well Abby, it's time for you to go home but, be careful with you're left arm do you understand?"
-"I understand Lexie, wow, I think I've never had so much attention before! giggles "
-"What? You don't like this attention? Wait and see when you get home"
-"What do you mean Max?"
"Well, it's a surprise so I can't tell you!"
" Fine then!"
"Don't worry! Next thing you know, you'll be home and then you'll see the surprise!"
"Max, I hope you're right"
After, that short conversation, Max took Abby's other arm and walked her to his car. The ride itself was extremely silent, but on the other hand, Abby could not wait until she got home to see what she was going to get.
About 10 minutes after they had left the hospital, Max had just brought Abby to Chez Rouge.
-" So Max, is this my surprise?"
-" Maybe, maybe not"
Max took Abby's hand in with him and walked to Chez Rouge. Abby opened the door and…
-" SURPRISE!"
Everyone yelled and came out of their hiding spots.
-"Max! This is the surprise?"
-"Well, yeah!"
-"Oh thank you!" Abby said, and then, Abby jumped onto Max, giving him a huge hug. Everyone "awed" and then went all to their tables.
About one hour later, everyone had eaten and were now talking. Suddenly, the lights dimmed down, and everyone was heading on the dance floor to dance. Max finally decided to go ask Abby to dance with him.
-" Abby, would you like to dance with me?"
-"Of course Max"
Max took Abby's hand, and made their way to the dance floor.
Max slowly put his hands on her waist. Abby put her hands around his neck and leaned her head on his chest and just danced to the beautiful melody that was playing.
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do…
All Abby wanted to do was stay in Max's arms, it made her so warm inside, and nobody else could create that exact feeling. For the rest of the night, they danced and talked. When they each got home, no one knew, but themselves, that they were dreaming of each other.
That isn't the end! Maybe next chapter is!
Don't forget to R & R!
