In coming home from school the next day, Ava wonders why Abel wasn't in school. Maxie told her that Trevor came over last night having something important to tell Abel.
"Ava!" Abel yells her name coming up next to her in his dad's truck.
"Abel, what are you doing? Why didn't you come to school?" She asks him cautiously.
"Come with me somewhere. I want to tell you something." Abel says pulling over to the sidewalk. He walks out and goes over to her, taking her arm and helping her up in the truck.
"Where are we going, Abel? Considering last time we talked, I'm not sure we should be alone together." Ava says turning to face him and placing her palm flat over his chest.
"I know, but this is important. I talked to Trevor and there's something we need to talk about." Helping her into the truck, he shuts the door and gets in starting to drive."Is Luke expecting you home?"
"Um, yeah, he is, but I can call him and tell him I'll be home later." Ava says getting nervous about what Abel's gonna say.
"Call him." Abel says driving past his street. Ava notices that he's got a tank full of gas and a sheet of paper with directions on the dashboard.
"NO! Not until you tell me where the hell you're taking me. And what the hell are the directions for?" she demands putting
her hand on his arm. He in turn, takes her hand and intertwines their hands together. His eyes look like there's a storm
brewing inside of him. He's pissed off. "Abel, what's going on?"
"Trust me on this. You won't get hurt. I promise, Ava." He says stopping at a stop sign and pulling her close to him. Ava
knows he's going to kiss her, but she can't seem to pull away. She doesn't want to pull away. His lips touch hers lightly,
like a breeze. Seconds pass, and the kiss deepens. His tongue brushes against her lower lip, but she denies him entrance.
He whispers to her, calling her a tease. Then her own tongue seeks entrance, and as they clash together, both know
they're past the point of no return. As Abel takes control of the kiss, he stakes his claim, a claim Ava wonders if she'll ever
be able to live without it.
Few hours later....
As Abel drives up to a cabin, Ava looks out and wonders how he found keeps looking at it, wondering why
they're here at a deserted cabin in the middle of nowhere.
"Come on. It's not the White House, babe." He laughs putting his arm around her shoulders. "It belongs to Old Piney. He let me use it."
"We could have talked at my house, or yours. Shit, we could've talked on the street." she responds walking through the door and sees the cabin. Its got a long, antique living room table with matching chairs, but the rest of the room is bare."We're spending the night here?"
"Yeah." Abel says taking his black hoodie off.
"There better be two beds or a couch stashed somewhere." She says looking around into the other rooms.
"Nope, only one bed." He responds.
"Really? Well, I guess you're shit out of luck because I'm not sleeping on the floor and you're not sleeping in the bed with me." Ava says starting to feel her face heat up."
"Don't worry about the sleeping situations. We're gonna sleep together on that bed in there together, and I'll be a
gentleman. I'll sleep on the covers." Abel laughs pointing to the bedroom at the back of the cabin and walks up to her
kissing her on the forehead.
"How thoughtful of you!" She responds sarcastically and pinches him in the arm. A few moments pass and the silence
starts to become uncomfortable.
"Trevor talked to Maxie last night." Abel spurts out randomly, turning a chair around and sitting in it.
"Why?" Ava asks knowing that Trevor and Maxie started talking the night of the bon-fire. Oh, Shit! She thinks to herself,
catching onto why they're here. Abel knows about Garrett.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Abel asks quietly tapping his fingers on the table. "Did you not trust me enough?"
"No, it wasn't about that. If I told you that-" he cuts her off.
"That what, Ava? That that piece of shit Garrett showed up and came up behind you with a needle filled with God knows
what, and before injecting it into you, threatened to rape you and do it all over again if you got involved with me." Abel
says letting his rage loose.
"It happened so fast. I didn't know what to do. I was scared of what was in the needle, so I got Maxie and we went to a
private clinic outside of Charming and I got a blood test done. I didn't start feeling the effects until the next day." Ava says
pacing in front of him trying to keep calm.
"What was in the needle?" Abel says standing up in front of over her.
Ava can feel the tears coming, "Rohypnol mixed with coke. The feeling was so disorienting. I couldn't tell which was up." She tells him.
"A fucking date rape-drug. That son of a bitch! Did he try to talk to you since?" Abel says running his fingers through his hair.
"He comes up to the store. He brings it up sometimes... Abel, Have you told anyone?" She asks hesitantly putting her hand once again on his chest.
"You mean, my family? Right now, it's only me and Trevor that know, but I gotta tell them. He won't get away with this, Ava." He tells her rubbing his hands up and down her arms.
"Know that I wanted to tell you so many times, but I couldn't and not because I was afraid because of him. I was scared
for you and what you would do. I don't want you losing your life because of me." Ava says reaching up to kiss him on the
neck softly and running her hands up his back.
"Don't ever worry about me, girl." Abel says running his fingers under her shirt, touching the bare skin above her jeans.
"You're too reckless. You're not invincible, you know." Ava tells him feeling more in control of her life now that she's told
Abel. "Are we really spending the night here?"
"Yeah, we can spend the weekend here if you want too." Abel says with a grin, putting the suggestion out there knowing
he wants to spend as much time with her as possible.
"No! My uncle will freak out. Besides, you're still sleeping on top of the covers, AND all of your clothes will be on." Ava says
feeling his hard-on as she leans into him.
"Come on. I'll set things up and you call Luke." He says giving her a light slap on the ass.
"Hey! I'm gonna kick your ass one day, Teller." She tells him going into the kitchen to call her uncle.
"In your dreams, babe." Abel says laughing as he catches her red jacket she threw at him.
N/A: Okay, here's another one. Just wanna say that I did change Harry's name to Trevor b/c I wanted to use the name
Trevor instead. Hope it doesn't confuse any of you guys. :) Btw thanks again for all the reviews!
