Chapter 10: Someone's goin down

Abby's P.O.V

I walked out of the bathroom in a tank top and long pajama pants, to find Ray playing air guitar. It was completely captivating, watching him play. There was a beauty about it, and it was both graceful and raw. You could tell he was extremely passionate about playing. It was obvious he was an amazing player. I stood, leaning against the doorframe, watching for a few more moments, before going and plopping myself in his lap. I felt his arms encircle me, pulling me close, and for the first time since Carter and I broke up, I truly felt safe. I leaned into him, resting my head on his shoulder, and his head came down and rested on top of mine. Hawthorne Heights' "NIKI FM" video came on, and I started singing along, pointing out my favorite part of the video where they throw the graduation caps in the air and they turn into bats, I sighed, "I love that part." Then the guitar solo came on, and he started 'playing' along with it. Once the song was over, he lightly slapped my butt,

"Up." He demanded.

"No!"

So he stood up and I fell to the floor,

"Oof!" I glared up at him, "I will definitely get you back for that. You are so goin down!"

"Is that a threat?" he asked, smiling in that cocky way of his.

"You better believe it!"

With that he turned and went into the bathroom, and I settled on the bed, desperately fighting to keep my eyes open. Unfortunately it was a losing battle, my eyes shut, and I knew it wouldn't be long before the nightmares reared their ugly heads. I hoped they wouldn't be bad enough to freak Ray out, or worse, make him worry.

"He's got enough on his mind as it is," I thought to myself.
