I'm sitting on my bed in my dorm room, (on my phone of course) when someone knocks on the door.
"Come in!" I yell. I don't look up from my phone as someone walks in. So what if it's a serial killer. At least I'll die comfortable on my bed.
"Gracie..." I look up in surprise. "I have a question about Abby and... Gerard."
"Okay come here Ashton." I pat my bed. Ashton awkwardly sits down. "So you wanna know about their relationship?" Ashton nods shyly. "Well not to be insensitive about yours and Abby's relationship, but they were the most perfect couple ever. Every one in school knew that, and some were jealous. We will get back to that. They made each unbelievably happy. One night, they went to a party together. They lost each other, Abby not drinking anything because she didn't trust anyone else there, Gerard getting really drunk. By the end of the night, he had sex with at least two girls." When ashton takes that in, he winces. "But because he was so drunk, he didn't even remember it. And this is when we get back to the people jealous about Abby's and Gerard's relationship. They found out somehow about that night, and spread it around the school. Abby found out that way, and so did Gerard. I never knew why she took it so hard, she didn't really act the jealous type, and he was drunk. But she did and ignored Gerard till- well till now when she talked to him in the cafeteria."
"I heard Gerard enrolled here."
"Yeah, well I wouldn't tell Abby. She will be all cranky." Ashton nods in agreement. Ashton looks like he wants to say something, but is hesitant to do so.
"Will... do you think... do you think they will get back together?" Ashton blurts out. I think of my answer.
"If she took it so hard in highschool, something else must've happened to make it so much worse. If she didn't forgive him then, I don't think she will forgive him now. I don't know." I shrug looking back at my phone.
"Can I.... can I hug you?" I look up with raised eyebrows to see his vulnerable,sad expression.
"Nope." Ashton's expression turns even sadder.
"Please?"
"No."
"Why?" He looks like a puppy dog.
"I don't like touching."
"That's not what it looked like when I saw you and Michael." Ashton raises his eyebrows up and down. I throw my pillow at him, trying to contain my laughter. And my blush. Suddenly Sebastian, Josh, and Cheyenne burst into the room.
"We can't find Abby!" I'm a little surprised they looked-we can never find her. She's quite good at hiding. But she gets predictable.
"Did you check the GYM?"
"Yes!"
"The library?"
"Of course."
"Every single tiny dark space?"
"Pretty sure."
"Art room?"
"Yup."
"Music room?"
"She hasn't been there since Gerard..." I raise my eyebrows.
"I take that as a no?" They all glance at each other and run down the hallways, probably racing each other. All except Sebastian. I look at him.
"They already made me go into a library. I'm done. And by they, I mean Cheyenne. Chicks with sticks are scary man." Ashton looks confused while I laugh. I wonder how long she will make Josh help too. I laugh at the though of little Cheyenne making two guys do stuff with/for her.
