of the
kitchen and out the front door.
“ Later Psycho.” Holly retorted waiving
her hand in the air.
“ Holly.” Abby said disapproving. “Let
it go.”
“ Ok I’ll let it go, but you tell me how
well you are going to let it go when you see yourself in the
mirror. Have a peek.” She taunted.
Abby went to look at her reflecting in the
bathroom mirror.
“ I’m sorry for Karma’s behavior,” Jimmy
started quietly, “she is very protective of me. She was one of the
first friends I made when I came out here. She’s like an older
sister and takes that role very seriously. There have been a few
girls that only wanted to get to know me because of my bank
account. “
Abby looked shocked. “Does she think that’s
why I am here?!”
“ She understands why you are here, that
it has nothing to do with material things or social status. It’s
because I want you here. She will be more cordial next time you
meet I promise.” Jimmy looked at her reflection in the mirror. Abby
winced when she smiled.
“ Does it hurt?” Jimmy asked reaching
out gingerly to caress her cheek.
“ Not bad.” She answered “I can barely
feel it.” Lying badly again. She wanted to remove the sad look on
his face. “Really, I’m fine” she lifted up on her toes to kiss him.
“I am hungry though.”
They walked back into the kitchen and ate the
lunch Margret had prepared for them. They spent the rest of the day
getting ready to leave the following morning.

Chapter 10
As she was putting the last few things in her
carryon, Abby couldn’t help feeling dismayed. She had spent a
wonderful few days with Jimmy, back in Maine and here in LA. She
didn’t want to leave today, not so soon, but she promised to be
back before the Thanksgiving holiday. Jimmy was also expected in
Mississippi for dinner with his family. Abby was glad he was able
to meet her parents, however, she was not ready to meet his. The
ride to the airport was quiet they sat in silence holding hands.
Last night they had discussed the possibility of Jimmy coming to
Maine for Christmas but had made no definite plans. This worried
Abby. She wondered if he didn’t want to solidify plans because he
no longer wanted to see her. He hadn’t said so but she still
worried. The plan was for Jimmy to ride with them to Maine and then
he would turn and head to Mississippi.
“ It’s going to be a very long day for
you.” Abby expressed with concern.
“ It’s worth it.” He replied. “I’ll get
more time with you. I can spend some time writing then visit with
my family.
Abby spent most of the plane ride fighting
back tears. She was going to miss him. Holly spent the time reading
a book she had picked up while in LA. Jimmy sat next to Abby again
in silence holding her hand. When they landed in Owls Head, Abby
couldn’t hold back the tears. She could barely see as she descended
the stairs. They had left her Jeep in the parking area so they
wouldn’t need to be picked up. Holly said good-bye to Jimmy with a
hug and peck on the cheek, thanking him again for a great trip,
took Abby’s keys and headed for the Jeep, not hiding her distain
for the cold weather. Jimmy turned to Abby, who by now, was all but
bawling.
“ I’m sorry,” she blubbered, “I don’t
mean to cry like a baby, I’m just going to miss you and I don’t
know when I am going to see you again.” she was full blown sobbing
now, she felt like an idiot but couldn’t stop.
He pulled her to him and she buried her face
into his chest.
“ We’ll see each other again before you
know it. You’ll be busy with school activities and your friends,
the time will fly by. I will call you every day. We’ll e-mail and
text. Don’t forget Skype, we can video chat too. Don’t be sad,
Baby.” He tried to comfort her.
They heard the jet engines start back up. He
had a schedule to keep. He had to go. They kissed good-bye. He got
back on to the plane and waved as the pilot closed and
kitchen and out the front door.
“ Later Psycho.” Holly retorted waiving
her hand in the air.
“ Holly.” Abby said disapproving. “Let
it go.”
“ Ok I’ll let it go, but you tell me how
