Chap. 10
I've decided that this is the last chapter…
At Salem Prison…
(Chelsea got back there when one of the nurses saw her when Abby was in the hospital)
-"Come On Benson! This is the only phone call you have for the week!"
-"All right! All right! I'm coming, god!"
-"One call Benson! You've only got 10 minutes"
-"Okay!"
Ring…. Ring…ring…
-"Come on pick up the phone"
-"Hello?"
-"God, took you long enough"
-"Sorry, I was busy"
-"Okay, I don't want details, I'm asking you a favor."
-"What now?"
-"Get me out of this hell hole, so I can destroy Max & Abby's relationship."
-"Since when are they in a relationship?"
-"Well, they aren't yet, but they should be soon, so are you in or out?"
-"Fine… I'm in, I'll get you out soon."
-"Thanks a lot"
-"No problem, I'm getting you out in 10 minutes… I'll see you soon"
-"Okay, bye…. Billie"
At the Deveraux house…
Max had decided to stay over night at the Deveraux house so that today he could help Abby get settled in back into her house. Today, in Salem, it was raining. Of course that meant there was nothing to do or no where to go.
Abby had decided to take a small bowl of chocolate ice cream, to sit in the rocking chair near the window and watch the rain drops fall to the ground. Max came in the living room very quietly after he had noticed Abby there, he came right behind her and…
-"BOO!"
Abby had just jumped about a good foot from the rocking chair.
-"God Max! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
-"No, I just wanted to surprise you"
-"Well that you did! I hope you're happy"
-"In fact, I am… What are you doing?"
-"I'm looking at the rain drops… Why?"
-"Isn't that sort of … well, boring?"
-"Not for me…"
-"Okay then…"
-"Hey, have you ever danced in the rain?"
-"No, not really… why do you ask?"
-"I don't know… It's been a while since I've danced in the rain…"
-"You want to got and dance in the rain don't you?"
-" Giggles you're right! Please?"
-"All right…"
-"Yey! Thank you!"
-"No problem"
At Salem Prison…
-"Billie? What are you doing here?"
-" I came to get my daughter out of prison"
-"… You're kidding right?"
-"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
-"No… All right then, that will be 5,000$"
-"Here you go, Billie hands the money to the police officer in cold hard cash now, get my daughter out of there"
-"Okay, keep you're pants on"
After 10 minutes of waiting, Chelsea finally gets out.
-" What took you so long?"
-"Sorry, I had to put on my make up"
-"Whatever"
They start walking towards the door and to Billie's car.
-"So, have you planned you're revenge?"
-"Yes, I have. Just follow my lead. Go to the Deveraux house. I have this feeling that they are both there"
-"Okay then, of to the Deveraux house we go"
At the Deveraux House…
Abby and Max made their way to the garage first to get Abby's stereo ready.
-"So what music are you putting?"
-"You'll see"
-"Okay, lead the way"
They went outside where there was only rain falling on their heads.
Abby ran to the garage again, turned on the CD and put the music on higher.
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
-"May I have this dance?"
-" Yes, you may"
Abby took Max's hand into her's and rested her head on his chest as they started to waltz.
Because of you
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
-"Abby?"
-"What?"
-"I've got something to tell you"
-"Sure what is it?"
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
At that same time, Chelsea and Billie had parked their car a couple of houses back and had just made their way to the Deveraux house, and there, they decided to hide behind a bush near where Abby & Max were dancing.
Because of you
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
-"Abby, I… I love you"
-"You do?"
-"Yeah, I do… I took me a while to realize it but, while you were in the hospital, on the verge of death, I couldn't hide my feelings for you anymore. So, that's why I just told you."
-"Max…"
-"I know you might think this is really stupid, I mean we are best friends but, I can't help myself"
-"Max, let me say something"
-"What?"
-"I love you too"
-" You do?"
-"I do"
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Max looked at Abby straight in the eyes and started to lean near her, there, he took each of his hands and put it with her and slowly kissed her softly on the lips.
Because of you
I never strayed too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Max had slowly pulled back with a smile on his face and Abby as well had that same smile.
-"Max, thank you"
-"For what?"
-"For everything"
-"No problem, so does that mean were together?"
-"Yeah, it does"
Because of you
Because of you…
Meanwhile in the bushes…
-"No! That's not fair! She doesn't deserve him! He's my prince!"
-"Okay! Now there together."
-"She still doesn't deserve him!"
-"Oh shut up…"
Oh, and Abby & Max lived together forever after that, without Chelsea.
