Abbey's POV
"I don't know about you, but I think I completely bombed that Calculus quiz," I told Erica and Sarah as we were making our way out of the school.
The week had gone by like molasses and it was finally Friday. The next day was the Fall Festival and I was totally psyched.
"I found it pretty easy," remarked Erica.
"No one likes a bragger, Erica," I say, slightly teasing.
"Guys," Sarah interjects. "Let's not get into a cat-fight here."
"Technically, it'd be a bat-fight," I point out.
"Okay, Ms. Smarty Pants," Erica says. "If you're so smart, where's your dork?"
"Somewhere around here," I reply, looking around for Rory.
I spot him over by his locker with Ethan and Benny. I make my way over to them, fighting the rush of students leaving for the day.
I sneak up behind Rory and jump on his back, covering his eyes with my hands.
"Guess who?" I say into his ear.
He reaches behind him and grabs my waist, pulling me off of his back and bringing me around to face him, placing my feet lightly on the floor.
"Abbey," he says answering my question, and then kisses me lightly on the lips.
"Cheater," I say, smiling.
I notice Ethan and Benny looking over at us, slightly disgusted expressions on their faces.
"Hey guys," I say, looking over at them.
They both look down, ashamed of getting caught staring.
"Oh look," Erica says, coming up behind us. "She found him."
I roll my eyes at her.
"Let's get out of here," suggests Rory. "It's Friday and I've had enough of school for the week."
"Okay," I agree, reaching for Rory's hand. I look over at everyone before we leave. "I'll see you guys tomorrow!"
Rory and I make our way outside, getting caught in the rush of students escaping to the freedom that is a Friday afternoon.
Once outside, we start walking towards my house, hands still intertwined.
"So," I say. "What time are you picking me up?"
"How's seven?" Rory asks.
"Sounds perfect," I reply, smiling.
When we get up to my door, he leans in and kisses me softly, taking his time to pull away.
This time however, my mother was not there to interrupt us.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he promises, hugging me.
"Okay," I say. "Goodbye."
"Bye," he says, giving me another kiss before turning to leave.
I retrieve my house keys from my bag, and unlock the door, thinking about Rory, and smiling like an idiot.
It was five-thirty Saturday afternoon, and I was getting ready for the dance. I was so excited that it was finally time to get ready. I was giddy with anticipation as I got in the shower.
As the water ran down around me, I started thinking about the past week.
Everything had changed since Jesse had left. Somehow, my problems seemed to dissipate as soon as he left town. It was like he was the cause of my troubles. I was just glad to be rid of him.
Then I started to think about Rory, and I started to sing, because he made me so happy, and I truly believed that I was in love with him.
"Oh, thinking about our younger years,
There was only you and me.
We were young and wild and free.
Now nothing can take you away from me.
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now.
You keep me coming back for more.
Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms.
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in Heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in Heaven."
I got out of the shower and padded to my room, smiling all the way there.
While I was getting ready, I started to sing again.
"Oh, once in your life you find someone.
He will turn your world around,
Pick you up when you're feeling down.
Now nothing can change what you mean to me,
There's a lot that I can say.
But just hold me now,
'Cause our love will light the way.
Baby, you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms.
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in Heaven.
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart.
It isn't too hard to see,
We're in Heaven."
When I had finished dressing, drying, curling and doing my makeup, it was almost seven.
"Abbey!" my mother calls up to me. "Rory's here!"
The butterflies in my stomach fluttered with anticipation.
Rory's POV
Rory walked up to Abbey's door and knocked. He couldn't wait to see Abbey.
After a few minutes, Abbey's mom answered the door.
"Well, hello Rory," she greeted him. "Don't you look handsome."
"Thank you, Mrs. Benson," Rory says.
"Would you like to come in?" she asks. "Abbey will be down in a minute."
"Yes," he replies, stepping into the house. "Thank you."
"Abbey!" Mrs. Benson yells up the stairs. "Rory's here!"
Moments later, Abbey descends the stairs looking absolutely beautiful. Her normally straight dark hair was curled and pinned back out of her face. She was wearing a dark purple dress with black lace accents, that complimented her skin tone.
Rory just stood there, staring up at her.
"Is there something wrong?" she asks, looking for any flaws on her dress.
"You're beautiful," Rory says, stunned.
A huge smile starts to appear on her face, and she continues down the stairs towards Rory.
"Aww, you two make such a cute couple," gushes Mrs. Benson. "Let me take a picture!"
"Um…We don't have time for that," Abbey lies. "We'll be late for the dance."
"Okay, fine," her mom says. "I'll get one when you get home."
"No promises," Abbey says under her breath.
Abbey walks over to her mom and hugs her.
"I'll see you later," she promises.
"You look so gorgeous," her mom says, with tears in her eyes.
Abbey smiles, kissing her mom on the cheek.
"Have fun," Mrs. Benson says.
"I will. I love you mom."
"I love you too, sweetheart."
Abbey and Rory start to walk towards the door.
"Oh, Rory?" says Mrs. Benson. "Take good care of my Abbey tonight."
"Yes ma'am," Rory replies, shutting the door behind them.
Abbey's POV
When we walk into the dance, the first thing I notice is the decorations. The gym was decorated in fall colors, like gold, burgundy and harvest orange. There were pumpkins scattered in different corners of the room, and fake autumn leaves were hanging from the ceiling.
"I love the decorations!" I gush. I absolutely loved the fall.
We spot Ethan, Benny, Sarah and Erica over by the punch table and make our way over towards them.
"Hey guys," Ethan greets us.
"Hey," I reply. "Why aren't you dancing?"
"I don't really feel like it…" he trails off.
"What's the point of coming to a dance if you're not going to dance?" I ask.
He just shrugged. I could tell he was trying to get up enough courage to ask Sarah to dance.
"Speaking of dancing," Rory interrupts, holding out his hand toward me. "Would you mind sharing a dance with me?"
"Of course," I reply, placing my hand into his.
He leads me out onto the dance floor, just as a slow song starts. I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his around my waist. I lean my head on his shoulder and we start to dance.
"You know I'd fall apart without you,
I don't know how you do what you do.
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me,
Makes sense when I'm with you.
Like everything that's green,
Girl I need you.
But it's more than one,
And one makes two.
Put aside the math and the logic of it,
You gotta know you're wanted too.
'Cause I wanna wrap you up,
Wanna kiss your lips,
I wanna make you feel wanted.
And I wanna call you mine,
Wanna hold your hand forever,
And never let you forget it.
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted."
I look up at Rory and he's looking intently into my eyes, and I'm staring back into his crystal blue ones.
"I love you," he whispers into my ear.
"I love you, too," I say, still looking into his beautiful eyes.
I steal a glance over toward the table, and see Benny talking to Della, while Erica is standing there unhappily, looking like a third wheel. I notice that Ethan and Sarah aren't anywhere by the table. I look around the room, and spot them dancing. It was about time. There was definitely chemistry between those two.
"Anyone can tell you you're pretty, yeah.
And you get that all the time,
I know you do.
But you're beauty's deeper than the makeup,
And I wanna show you what I see tonight.
When I wrap you up,
When I kiss your lips,
I wanna make you feel wanted.
And I wanna call you mine,
Wanna hold your hand forever,
And never let you forget it.
'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted.
As good as you make me feel,
I wanna make you feel better.
Better than your fairytales,
Better than your best dreams.
You're more than everything I need,
You're all I ever wanted.
All I ever wanted.
And I just wanna wrap you up,
Wanna kiss your lips,
I wanna make you feel wanted.
And I wanna call you mine,
Wanna hold your hand forever,
And never let you forget it.
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted.
Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted.
'Cause you'll always be wanted."
The song ended and we were still in our embrace when a new one started. I was too busy thinking about Rory to make out the lyrics.
Rory takes my hand and leads me off of the dance floor and into the hallway. We go into the student lounge and sit down on one of the couches.
He leans in and we start kissing, not paying attention to anything but each other.
If I spent the rest of eternity with Rory, I would be happy. I was in love with him, and I knew that he truly was in love with me.
I do not own MBV, just the characters Abbey, and her mom, and I also do not own the songs. The first one was Heaven (Candlelight Remix) by DJ Sammy feat. Do and the second song was Wanted by Hunter Hayes.
I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. When I stopped writing for a day or so, character dialogue would be going on, or certain situations would play out in my head.
Believe it or not, my inspiration for this story actually started with a dream (I know it sounds like Twilight, but believe me, it's not (No distrespect to Twilight though.)) with Jesse in it. (Even though he's evil, I find him extremely attractive. (It probably has to do with the fact that I find all vampires hot. LOL)). It was about me, being a newly turned vampire and I resented Jesse for biting me.
Anyway, thank you all for reading my story and please continue to read and review. It means a lot to me that you guys love the story :).
