THANK YOU SOOO MUCH JADE77777 FOR GIVING ME THE IDEA OF THE TWINS AND FOR HELPING ME WITH MY STORY. ------MEANWHILE, WITH ABI...------- ~~~~~~~~~ABI's POV~~~~~~~~~~~ My face turned pink. I was crying . The feeling was so...abnormal. Stupid Leo. Actually, I'm looking back now, and I see the obvious signs of him cheating on me. Oh, why didn't I see the openings? I could have cried my eyes out in the CR, or in my bedroom, or even in the janitor closet. Just not in front of..you know..him. Yes, that him, Carter. "Are you crying?" he said, settling me unto the floor, and taking a seat beside me. Gee, thanks, Captain Obvious. The tears are heavier, thick as they streamed down my face. Weeks of the hurt, betrayal I felt all came flowing out with this meltdown. The time I suggested that we go to the Winter Formal together..and he looked so nervous. I thought it was that it was because he was scared to take me but actually it was becaise he already asked someome else . The time when I found an Ok! and Entertainment Weekly and GQ and Candy magazines under his bed, he said it was his sisters but I now I see that it was some other girl's. His sister's seven . I see it now. There were so many chances I could have questioned him, confronted him, but I did neither. I..I think I was so caught up with the idea of...love. My mind did not want to see any signs that Leo and I would break up. I guess with the whole Cassy mess, I wanted love to still be on my side. "Seriously, what's wrong?" Carter asked me, placing his hand on my knee, which, oddly, sent tingles down my spine despite my current state. "My-My boyfriend cheated on me." I whimpered. It felt weird saying it out loud. It was like I could never grasp the concept that he actually cheated on me. That we could never go back to us. "Oh. Man, that sucks." Carter leaned his head on the wall. Weirdly, I noticed, he didn't remove his hand from my knee. "Yeah." we were silent; both of us deep in thought. Even though my heart was still fragile, I still strangely felt Carter beside me; his breathing; his hair messing up by the silent wind that had just picked up. This moment..was amazing. "Who's the jerk that did this?" Carter's eyes flicked opened and he glanced at me. Jerk. Huh. I never really considered Leo as one, but I guess he is now. "Oh, I'll take care of him." I think my voice sounded confident enough that he dropped the subject. Suddenly, the bell rang. Herds of students scrambled out of their classes and Carter removed, sadly, his hand and stood up. Next, he extended his hand and helped me up. For a moment, our hands intertwined, it was like no one else was there, like we were the last two people on Earth. We stared for the slightest second into each others eyes and quickly broke our gaze, both of us blushing furiously, our fingers still, even slightly, connected. Suddenly, someone tightly grabbed my arm and spun me around, causing Carter's hand to disband from mine. It was Leo. ----------------------------------------- Oh, phew. I worked really hard on this update. Continue bumpin' !
