Hellbound With You (WN)

They saw a white sedan drive up the long driveway and it stopped by the footpath. Chris basically leapt out of the car and ran towards them.

He looked worried and his eyes immediately surveyed Abi.

Kelly couldn ’t blame him for being worried about Abi. Chris had been spending a lot of time with Abi since Abi went home from the hospital. She knew that the boy was smitten and she had actually been rooting for them to get together. That was of course because she had forgotten about Alex at that time. Chris had been the epitome of a good friend, always trying to cheer Abi up and take her out of the house. He even obviously got them into Country V because he knew how much Abigail wanted to come here. He wanted Abigail to be happy and he did everything he could to help her with that. He knew that Abigail was a little fragile and he was very considerate in that he didn ’t push his feelings on her.

However, looking back on it now that she had her memories back, the poor guy really never stood a chance. Even if Abigail had forgotten about Alex, there might still be no way that Chris would have been able to dislodge Alex from Abi ’s heart. Even in the years to come, she felt that Abigail would have chosen to die alone if she didn ’t find Alex again. That was how deep her love was for that stupid man!

”Abi, Kelly, let ’s go back to the hotel, ” Chris immediately said, not wasting any more time. This was why he was here after all. He started walking back to the car expecting the girls to follow him.

Kelly stood up but Abi remained on her seat. Chris frowned, thinking that Abi might not be feeling too well.

He walked back with the intention of helping her but Abi stopped him with her next words. ”Chris, I-I have decided to stay here for a while. I won ’t be going back with you two. ”

Chris felt his world spin. What was she saying? Why did she want to stay here? What about his plan of confessing to her when they got back?

”But, Abigail… why? ”

”Because I found a job here that I really like. I think this will be good for me. I want to stay here for a while to heal myself. I hope you guys understand. ”

Chris couldn ’t say anything. He knew that Abigail had been looking for something since she had her surgery. He had not seen her smile once since then and it had broken his heart. He had tried so hard to make her smile a real smile, but he hadn ’t succeeded. And when she said she wanted to come here, she saw something liven up within her. There was a small spark in her eye when she mentioned coming to this place. So he tried his very best to do that, because he thought it would make her happy. But he never thought that she would end up wanting to stay!
