Love Conquers All

Abby POV

The next morning I woke up and got ready for my day. The rest of the night seemed to be filled with two important things. Of course, I had to help Nick get Nikki, but Adam weaseled himself in my thoughts. I tried desperately to get Adam out and focus on Nikki, but I couldn't.

"Abby, get your butt up before you be late! You have a guest here too, so get dressed before you come down for breakfast!" My mother yelled. Of course, she would yell that when somebody is here. Yes, I had the habit of getting breakfast before I started the day, and she knew that, but she did every little thing to make me break it. This time I thought better and followed my mom orders and got ready first. I had a guest over, which I didn't know who, and I knew it wasn't Nikki.

Once my hair was all done and I had my makeup on. I walked down the stairs. My outfit wasn't much. Regular t-shirt and plain blue jeans. The different thing was my fuzzy socks. Nobody saw them, but every time I walked I felt them. And each time I made a smile when they rubbed against my toes. Weird, but they fell awesome.

"Momma, what did you make today?" I asked walking in the kitchen. I hadn't looked up from my feet when I walked in. I was staring at the little hole in my sock. My holy sock.

"Abby look up. And I made your favorite." My mom said. I looked up and my mouth fell. Adam was sitting by the island with a plate of food in front of him. I gave a slight wave and looked at my mom. She smiled when she saw my expression. After a while she left to get ready for work. I sat next to Adam with my food.

"Hi." I whispered. I started to pick at my food. He whispered a little hello back. "What are you doing here?" I asked after a while of uncomfortable silence. He cleared his throat.

"I wanted to see if you wanted a ride to school." he responded, putting his plate in the sink.

I blushed, but nodded. I finished after a few minutes. Five minutes later, Adam was driving down the road to school. Adam's car smelled real good, just like him. "So, the reason I came to your house was I wanted to ask you a question." Adam said out of nowhere. I looked at.

"And that is?" I asked. He glanced at me and then back at the road.

"I was only going to ask, but then your mom told me to come in and wait for you. Nice habit, by the way." He chuckled. I was blushed furiously. "But, the reason is I wanted to ask if you wanted to... I don't know how to say this... Do you want to go out with me Saturday?" he asked nervously. I smiled at him. That couraged him and he smiled back.

"Only if you help me out with something first?" I said smiling.

Nikki POV

I stood by the tree the next morning by myself. As usual, Abby was late. I turned around and looked all over the place to see if her car pulled in yet. The only thing I saw was Adam's car. I stared at his car as he parked. I was surprised to see Abby step out the passenger side.

They walked towards me with big smiles on their faces. I had confusion on mine.

"Hey, Girl, what ya doing by yourself?" Abby asked sitting next to me. I looked at he with a pointed look. She smiled once she realized the reason. Adam sat next to her. I gave him a little wave, which he returned it with a small nod.

"So, I have a question," Abby started. I knew all to well when she started something like that, she wanted me do something that she knew I didn't want to do. "How come you hate Nick so much? I mean he says he likes you, which we all know that is out of character for him to say something like that. And plus, his best friend is right here and he can tell you that he really likes you. He says Nick always talks about you."

I shrugged. I knew where she was getting at and I didn't want to do anything with it.

"Just talk to him." Adam said this time. I shook my head no.

"Please." I heard from behind me. I turned back and saw Nick standing there with a single daisy in hand. I looked at the flower in his hand and the back at his face. I turned back to Abby and Adam, but they were not there.

I was going to hate myself, but I was going to talk to him.
