Chapter 23: Mistaken Revelation

Ray's P.O.V

I felt sick to my stomach after Abby's revelation, Abby's mistaken revelation. She turned away from me, took a deep, shaky breath before turning back to face me. I could tell she was trying desperately to fight back tears, but a few trickled out.

"Abby?" I asked, and my voice sounded strangled.

She bit her lower lip, a gesture that would have been extremely cute any other time,

"Please…don't make me relive it…don't make me go through it again…" she sobbed, and it scared me, cause I had never seen her cry like this; deep, racking sobs that left her gasping for air. They were the kind of sobs from someone who doesn't cry very often, yet she'd cried twice now in the past 2 days. I pulled her into my arms, holding her close, rubbing her back.

"Shhh…it's ok…you don't have to tell me anything right now…whenever you're ready I'm here."

We sat there for God knows how long, me rocking her back and forth, her sobbing until no tears were left.

"This is what you were so upset about yesterday, after you talked to Madi, isn't it?" I asked.

She nodded her head slightly.

Sometime later, she finally fell asleep in my arms, and I gently laid her down, and covered her up, before laying down myself. But instead of falling asleep, I spent most of the night lying awake, thinking about what Abby had said to me, or rather, screamed at me.

"The hell I don't, I had to protect my brother, my mother and myself from every drunk ass loser that walked through the door! Let alone the father that liked to "play games" with his little girl! Don't fucking tell me I don't fucking know what you are fucking going through!"

The Next Morning

She was still asleep when I woke up around 8ish. She looked so peaceful and innocent when she slept.

'Why would anyone want to hurt her?' She has had so much shit dealt to her in her life, yet she is probably the strongest person I know.

She stirred and began to wake up.

I ran my thumb lightly down her cheek,

"I'm sorry."

"If anyone should say sorry, it's me. I should have told you everything. Madi's the only one I've ever told. And I don't even know why I told her."

"It's ok."

I brushed my lips lightly over hers, and immediately felt the electricity crackling between us. I captured her lips with my own, running my tongue slowly over her lips, requesting entrance. She rolled on top of me, and I placed my hands on her waist, as our tongues did a wildly passionate dance. I lightly bit her lip, and she let out a soft moan. Her hands were running through my hair, as my caressed every reachable part of her body.

We released our lips reluctantly, both breathing heavily.

"Abby" I groaned huskily, once again capturing her lips with my own, sliding my hands up under her tank top, exploring every inch of her. She arched her back in response, and I rolled, cradling her in my arms, so I was on top, elbows supporting me.

"Abby...are we...going too...fast?" I asked between kisses.

"No...I'll let you know if we are."

"M'kay." I replied, pulling her tank top off over her head. She gasped as I slowly traced around her navel, and along her collar bone. I slowly kissed her torso, starting along her throat, and ending just below her navel, than back up.

"Ray." she sighed, arching her back again. I ran my finger lightly under the waistband of her pajama bottoms. All the while she was completely exploring my torso and back, tracing each new found muscle, kissing my neck and throat, running her hands through my hair. Before I even realized, her pajama bottoms were gone. I slowly caressed the sloping curves of her thighs, running my finger along the edge of her panty-line.

She stiffened suddenly.

"Ray."

"Yeah baby?" I asked kissing her throat.

"I can't. Not now." she said, breaking down.

"Hey now, don't cry baby. It's okay." I said, wiping her tears away with my thumbs, "It's alright, stop crying please. I'm not mad, if that's what you're worried about. "Although, I admit I was a little bit pissed off.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She sobbed over and over and over again.

I placed my finger on her lips, and looked her in the eyes,

"Abby. Stop. Right now. It's alright, you're fine. Nothing's gonna happen. Quit apologizing."

She was gasping for air now; doubled over, clutching her stomach, borderline hyperventilating.

"Look at me Abby. You need to calm down. Deep breaths Abby, take deep breaths."

After about 5 minutes she finally calmed down.

"Abby, please, you need to tell me whatever it is you've never told me. I want to help you, but I can't if you don't tell me what it is that's wrong. I can't stand seeing you this way.
