Gossip Girl 6
Whisper Sweet Nothings
"Abby wait!"
"Did you wanna come in?"
"Do you even want him around anymore?"
"Was it obvious? Was I really that bad?"
Selena McKay had known that her parents had their problems, and she also knew that this would happen at some point in her life, but she didn't think it was going to happen at this point in her life. She wasn't ready for her parents to spilt up. Even though she knew they weren't the best parents but they were hers.
"God Richard, I've told you that there was a dinner at the DaCarr's a week ago! You said you were going to be able to attend" Suzy McKay said frustratingly at her husband.
"Suzy" Richard McKay sighed. "I told you that I would but we're finishing the deal, So tell Jacob and Emily that I'm sorry and I'll see them next tine" with that he kissed his wife on the forehead and left.
Stepping through to the elevator. Selena sighed, her dad had always left when he promised things, and promised things he could never keep. So in order to forget her parents she needed to distract herself and that's why she was going to see Chuck. She was thirteen then and now she was seventeen and nothing really changed.
It was Selena's 15th birthday, of course she had lots of friends, but no friend is better than a best friend.
"So I was thinking that we'd go out around seven thirty and do what we always do, which is hang out around town, eat crappy food and go shopping, come on Abs!" Selena yelled trying to sound excited . She knew it would just be her and Abs, cerebrating her birthday like always, so she wasn't going to think about why her Dad wouldn't stay.
Abby smiled, nodding. It was what they did every year because they did everything together always. Abby knew Selena had other friends, but she also knew that they weren't really friends at all. Abby also knew that Selena knew that Abby knows that she's her only real friend. Hell just last week she had to bail her out of jail for being too wild. It was just the way Selena was, and that's how she dealt with things, and that's the way they were always going to be, unless it was too tragic and her and Selena would go away for the day, talk about things. Who cares if you miss school when you have enough money to get you back in?
Most of the time anyways Selena would stay over at Abby's because either her parents weren't there or they were having another one of their fights.
Coming out of the room Selena saw her father sliding on his coat. "Dad? Where are you going?"
"Sweetie, I just have to go see a client for a little while, don't worry I'll be back before you leave! By the way happy birthday sweetie" He said. "Present's on the couch"
"But Dad, you can't, you promised you said this birthday that you'd stay the WHOLE day"
"I know I'm sorry, love you" with that Richard McKay left the on suite.
Selena sighed. "Yeah love you too," she whispered, turning around and heading back in to the room where her best friend, and what seemed like the only person that cared about her was. Just because she knew her Dad wasn't gonna leave, doesn't mean she couldn't try and stop him.
As the elevator stopped on Chuck's floor. Selena got out; she had stopped crying and didn't have the puff eyes, which wasn't going to attract anyone at all. Putting on a smile she realized that all the lights were off. Maybe Chuck Bass wasn't home, which wouldn't be unusual.
As she climbed up the stairs off the Bass-Van der Woodsens apartment she saw a light glowing from the bottom of one of the doors. Curious, she walked to towards it. The light growing brighter each time she came closer. Stopping in front of the door, which was jarred open a little she looked in side.
Selena didn't have to stay long to see what was going on in that room. Chuck and Blair, talking and by the looks of it Blair was wearing a seductive nighty. Of course she knew the history of Chuck and Blair, who didn't? But in the back of her mind she thought that maybe it was over, but she knew that it would never be over and that she was just another little pawn, play-thing. Chew toy to do him over when going for the queen.
Not wanting to see Chuck and Blair making out, she left and that's when she realized that she was alone in the world. No Abby. No Boy and No friends. The elevator dinged and Selena step in.
Looks like Selena might be the new lonely girl and we have someone in mind, just for her.
Standing at the closed door in front of Abby's apartment she paused. "Well this is me" Abby said. Nate had walked her to the Townhouse that was conveniently two blocks up from where he lived, Then Nate walked her to her door, from which is where they are now.
"Ah, nice…Apartment door you have here" Nate replied, slowly taking a few steps towards her. Abby giggled glancing down at the ground. "Well I might as well show you the rest of the house" Abby stated "Since your out here" she could feel her cheeks redden a little.
"Oh how kind of you" Nate gave her a grin and she melted again for the millionth time since the first time she's seen him back at St Jude's. Abby could feel her back press up against the front door, and wasn't about to object on any level. Nate's lips came crashing down on her and she kissed him back with approval, wrapping one hand around his neck, to let him know she liked what he was doing. Her thoughts were clouded and her mind was racing.
"Did you wanna come in?" she whispered, feeling her heart beat faster as a warm sensation washed over her. Nate nodded at her, and she kissed him again opening the door behind her. Nate's foot closed the door behind them.
As Abby's back hit the couch, she unbuttoned the first couple of button on his shirt. She didn't know what she was doing-well she had a vague idea of what she was going to do-she didn't know why now -it was like something just came to her, and she knew that this was what she wanted. Thank god her mom was out, or this would have never happened. Abby didn't think it would go down like this on a couch, but she didn't care she just wanted Nate.
His kisses were softer, better and more kissable than Chuck's ever was, so why was he still on her mind? Pushing the man that has given her nothing but hell to the back of her mind. She continued on with wanting Nate, and she was going to enjoy it without anything to do with Bass. Pushing closer to Nate she engulfed herself in his everything.
"Are you sure?" Nate whispered cutting their kisses off and replaced it with deep breaths. A smile broke out on her face, Nate asking her made her want him even more! He was so considerate, so caring. So Yummy. She grabbed his chin, pulling him in to another kiss as if to say 'yes.' Nate glided down to the bottom of her shirt and gently guided Abby shirt up and over her head.
The front door opened and the shadow of a women's back entered the room, and the lights flashed on.
"Abby?" her mother's voice called once she noticed her daughter on the couch.
Abby stopped kissing Nate, as soon as she heard her name. The words that had came out of her mother mouth felt like it was echoing off the walls of the apartment. Abby, frozen like a deer in head lights, the movement of Nate quickly getting off her spun her back in to reality. this wasn't how she wanted her mom to meet her boyfriend.
Nate also looked up as Abby's name was called out and he was off the couch in less than three seconds. Abby pulled her shirt on since it was beside her.
"Mum, what are you doing here?" She asked, her mind racing faster than ever. Seeing her mother there was one of the damaging thing she had to experience in her teenage life. The second one was the man that wasn't her father next to the women called Emily DaCarr.
Emily DaCarr looked between her daughter and the boy next to her. "I live here daughter of mine" Emily DaCarr replied rather calmly.
Abby glanced at the man beside her mother, she didn't know who he was and she definitely didn't want to know, her mother wasn't suppose to be here and that's all she needed to know. She was going to try and not jump to conclusion on the scene in front of her, having her own mess to clean up right now.
Taking a deep breath Abby spoke. "Uh, Mom this is Nate" with that she pointed towards him.
Nate gave an awkward smile. "Hi Mrs. DaCarr"
"Nice to finally meet you Nate Archibald" Emily said. "Not under the best conditions though"
Nate pulled his shirt on, doing the buttons up quickly. "Well I better get going" Nate stated. I'll see you tomorrow?" he looked over at Abby.
Abby nodded, and kissed him quickly before watching him leave.
"It was nice to meet you Mrs. DaCarr" Nate answered, before slipping by them, glad that some of the awkward tension was leaving him now. He hoped that Abby's mom didn't hate him on a first impression basis because if so he wasn't going to win that one.
"That was the Nate Archibald that you met on the first day The one you didn't know what his last name was?" Emily DaCarr asked her daughter. Abby nodded. She turned to the man next to her and excused herself, for she will see him another time. After he had left it had just become Abby and her mother, which at the moment Abby didn't want to be near. She was annoyed not only at her mom, at what was happening around her.
"And, who was that mom?" Abby spat angrily. "You know what I don't think I really want to know, don't you think that dad deserves better than you cheating on him?" Abby stated, frustratingly. She loved her dad, a lot and didn't think her mother could do something like that, just last week they had come down stairs together looking like they just had sex and now she's coming home with someone else, she just didn't get it.
"Do you know how many times your fathers not here?" Emily asked, sighing.
"Yes mother, I live with you, I see him just as much as you do" Abby paused, tears swelling up in her eyes, but she wasn't going to cry, not yet. " but really mom, another man! I just can't believe you would do something like that, I didn't think you were that kind of person!" Abby called out, louder than usual.
Emily DaCarr knew her daughter had a right to be mad at her, with what she just saw. "I can't ask your father to leave his job he loves it too much"
Abby blinked for a moment, she didn't say anything about Dad quitting his job, though it would mean he was around more which would be a nice change. "Well that seems like the only thing to do if you want Dad around" Abby said. "Do you even want him around anymore?"
Emily looked up at her daughter, her voice raising only a little "Excuse me Abigail Riley DaCarr! You shouldn't be the one asking me the questions about having a man in the house, I should be asking you, but I let it slide knowing that your hurt cause I know how much you love your father"
"Do you? Well obviously you don't know much because I would ask him to take another job so that I can see him more!" Abby yelled.
"Well when you get there one day and you realize that you want your husband to be happy and if that means not seeing him by all means he has the job of his dreams and I'm not taking that away from him" Emily said, calming down she hated getting in fights with her daughter it rarely happens, but Abby was going about it the wrong way.
Abby went silent, she didn't know what to say, and she also didn't have anything to say. It had been the first time Abby had tempted to do something crazy with a guy. Chuck didn't count, he had some Simon said power she couldn't figure out. The first time in her life, the first time she actually wanted to do something with someone and her mother walks in. Of course she wasn't going to be happy.
"Now Abby" her mother said, pausing to see if she was going to say anything. "About what happen" moving from the front door where she started over towards her daughter, leaving some room between the both of them.
"Mom, really I don't wanna talk about it, it was nothing" Abby lied, not looking at her.
"Well you'll have to because I'm the parent and you're the kid"
Abby looked up and her eyes showed a mix emotions, sad, hurt and angry. "Alright here I'll tell you it and its less than a minute long" Abby said giving a quick smile that didn't remotely have any sincerity or happiness about it. "His name is Nate Archibald, he goes to St Jude's he's seventeen and we like each other, we were making out on the couch and had our shirts off nothing happened, and even if it did I wouldn't do it on a couch!!!" Abby yelled, sighing after tears slowly poured down her cheeks. She couldn't hold the tears in any longer, she had had enough. She had wanted to have sex with Nate but she really didn't want to have it done on a couch she wasn't that kind of person she tried to be but she isn't and even if she tried to pretend in the end she was still Abby DaCarr but she knew that if she wanted to survive in Manhattan she was going to pretend when she was at Constance Billiard. Without Ethan she was only half a person.
Abby's mom nodded, "all right sweetie" with that she pulled her daughter in to a hug letting her cry.
Abby sobbed out the words "I miss Ethan" and with that Emily DaCarr pulled her daughter in for a closer hug.
