A note for Abby

A note was slid under Abby's apartment door.

Meet me on the roof in an hour. Wear something nice.

There was no name, just the simple note waiting for her.

I was in the kitchen making some Christmas cookies when I heard something outside of my door. As I walked towards the door, I saw a note come from underneath it. Someone had slipped this to me and left because I didn't hear anything once the note arrived. I walked over to my door, picked up the note and read it.

"Who sent this?"

I pondered to myself once I saw that it wasn't signed. Should I do what it asked? Sure, why not? I mean, it seemed harmless and I didn't have any plans tonight. I quickly put my cookies in the oven and went to get dressed while they baked.

I was waiting on the roof, waiting behind the door so Abby wouldn't see me right away. I was dressed in a nice suit with my black overcoat and gloves. I was holding a rose in my hand to give to her. I'd been on the run for a while, and I wanted to let her know I was still alive.

I stepped onto the roof and looked around. I didn't see anyone, which made me wonder if this was some kind of a trap after all. Regardless, I followed the note to the letter. I had gotten all dressed up in my nicest red dress, did my hair nice, put my most expensive makeup on and even had my nicest shoes on my feet.

"Hello? Is anybody here?"

I asked. This was a little creepy, so hopefully if someone was here, then the person would show himself, or herself, before I left.

"Hello, Abby," I said as I stepped out from behind the door, with the rose in my hand. "You look beautiful."

I was stunned to see Devon. I honestly thought that I wouldn't see him again. When I got the note, I figured that it was probably Dillon or my dad, in an attempt to cheer me up.

"Devon, what are you doing here? I thought that you were in hiding."

I stepped up to him and gave him a quick hug. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. Why wasn't he in hiding still?

"I was- I am," I told her. "But I had to come see you. We only spent one day together, but... it was the greatest day of my life so far. I had to properly thank you."

I handed her the rose. "My father's men think I'm in Port Charles. They want me to take over my father's business, but I can't do it. I'm not a murderer or a smuggler, or whatever it is my father did."

I took the rose from Devon and smelled it. It had a fresh, sweet scent to it; as most roses seemed to have. I lowered the flower from my nose and looked into Devon's eyes. I hated that he was almost being forced into doing something that he clearly didn't want to do.

"Can't you just pack your things and run? I mean, you probably have a lot of money, you could evade your the guards that are after you."

I just couldn't see Devon as some big, heartless mobster either; he just didn't have a cold heart like that.

"What kind of life is that?" I asked. "Either I keep running for the rest of my life, or I take over my dad's business and get myself killed. Either way I lose. I just wish there was a way I could stay here... with you."

Abby was the only person in the world I trusted. I felt safe when I was wtih her.

"Me too."

I replied quietly. This wasn't fair; why couldn't Devon do what he wanted to do with his life? I really wanted him to stick around because he was fun, funny and charming all wrapped up in one. Being with Devon made me hurt less and I'd like to see how my life would change with him in it.

"Maybe you can take over the business and then sell it off to someone else."

"It's not that easy, there are people that are going to want me dead the second I step up," I told her. "I might not even get the chance to give the business before I take over."

I sighed softly and looked down at the rose in my hand. This wasn't fair; why did Devon have to be forced into the family business that he did not want? I believed in the freedom of choice; why didn't the world work that way?

"How about stepping up your security and doing business from a private location until you can hand it over to someone else?"

"I- I guess I could try," I told her. "But that could take a long time, Abby. I probably wouldn't see you for a long time, and... I'd miss you even more."

"I'd rather having you missing me than dead."

I honestly replied with a shrug. If having Devon in hiding for a really long time meant that he would be alive and have a chance to have a good life, then I knew that it would be worth it. Yes, I'd really miss him, but at least he would be alive.

"Maybe we would keep in touch over email or something like that."

"We could try," I said as I reached out and took her hand. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Abby. You're my only friend and I don't want to lose that."

I gave his hand a squeeze and looked into his eyes. I didn't want to lose him either because Devon made me remember that my life wasn't destined to be horrible even though Dillon and I were on the rocks.

"You won't lose me because I happen to be very hard to get rid of."

I told him and forced a small smile. I wanted to try and cheer him up a little bit, as well as myself. I didn't want to lose him for Christmas, just like I had lost Dillon and my brother.

I smiled as she said that. I don't know why, but I leaned in and kissed her cheek.

"So, what are you doing for Christmas?" I asked.

What was I doing for Christmas? Good question. I had no idea what I was going to do for the holiday. Well, I could watch It's a Wonderful Life on TV and hope that my parents dropped by or called. If nothing good came along, that looked to be like my plans.

"Not a whole lot actually. My brother and I had a huge falling out and my parents are busy looking for him because he is missing."

"I'm sorry to hear that," I told her as I took her hand. "Would you like to spend Christmas with me, then?"

He was inviting me to spend Christmas with him? I was really blown away by the invitation, but flattered all at the same time. Spending Christmas with Devon sure beat sitting alone with a movie and some Christmas cookies that I made. I had no idea where we would spend Christmas at since he was kind of on the run right now, but we would work that out.

"I'd love to. I think that since you and I can't spend Christmas with our families, that spending it together will be a lot of fun. You can try my famous Christmas cookies and we can just sit around and talk by a fire or something like that."

"That sounds great," I told her. "I mean, if you don't mind me staying by you for a while, that is. I don't want to put you in any danger, but I'd love to spend the holiday with someone I really care about. It's been a long time since I've had home made cookies."

It had been years since I had someone to talk to at Christmas time. Dad was always away, and all I had were the bodyguards. It'd be nice to actually have someone who'd actually talk to me there.

"I don't mind at all."

I quickly assured him. I had an extra bedroom in my apartment that he was more than welcome to stay in. I knew that having him around would make the holiday much better than it would have been otherwise.

"You can stay in the spare room in my apartment. I don't think anyone will think to look for you in my apartment, so you'll be safe there."

I smiled and nodded. I thought that it was sweet of him to make sure that I was sure about him staying with me for the holidays, but I was the one who offered, so I was definitely fine with it.

"Yes, I am absolutely sure."

I assured him. I thought it would be fun to have him around. Devon would make the holiday less depressing for me.

"Thanks," I said as I held her hand, gently stroking it with my gloved finger. I was lucky to have met someone like her. "I don't know where I'd be right now if I didn't have someone like you to care about."

I'd probably be trapped in some safehouse somewhere, or worse yet, dead. Thinking of Abby was the only thing that kept me going since I learned my father was killed.
