Hellbound With You (WN)

”Abi, look… I know I shouldn ’t be talking about this the moment we meet up again after all these years but… that guy, how did you even get acquainted with him? ” Chris was wearing a black cap and a mask so Abi couldn ’t see his expressions but she could hear the obvious worry in his voice. 

”Uh, don ’t worry, Chris. Alex may look very scary but he ’s a nice person, ” she told him and the man shook his head in disbelief. 

”Look, Abi. How long have you known him for? Do you even know who he really is? ”

Abi stared at him. Her brows creased a little. ”Chris, are we really just going to talk about Alex right now? We only have 5 minutes to talk to each other and that ’s all you want to say to me? We still have plans so I need to go soon but I didn ’t want to just leave without talking to you, especially since it has been years since we last spoke to each other, ” Abi told him. 

She thought that Chris was acting exactly the same way as Kelly did the first time she told her about Alex, although Chris seemed to be reacting far worse, as if he knew something about him. 

Chris sighed. He seemed to have so much to say but he kept glancing at Alex and he seemed a bit wary. 

”Abi, I… fine, can I come to your house tonight? It ’s been really a long time. I want to talk to you properly and I ’d like to visit uncle Andrew and your grandparents, too, ” he told her and Abi was again speechless. She didn ’t see this coming.

”I ’m sorry, but I won ’t be home tonight, Chris, ” she said and Chris ’ eyes widened. ”How about you give me your number? I ’ll be home tomorrow so I ’ll just call you. ” 

Chris didn ’t respond for a while. 

”No. Can you give me your number, Abi? I ’ll call you instead, ” he said and Abi immediately gave him her number.
