"I'd probably be depressed and angry if I hadn't met you."

I admitted with a simple shrug. I was still upset about what Jack did to my relationship with Dillon, but I'd probably let the anger consume me if I hadn't randomly met Devon. He made me realize that life went on and that I'd eventually be okay.

"It looks like we met at the right time in our lives."

I felt the cold starting to set in as the sun started setting. I took off my coat and wrapped it around Abby's shoulders so she'd be warm.

"I think we should head inside before you catch a cold," I told her with a smile.

I appreciated the warm jacket over my shoulders. Devon was right, we should get inside before either one of us got sick. The last thing that I wanted was either one of us, or both of us, sick for the Christmas holiday.

"I think you're right. We don't need to be getting sick, especially when it is so close to Christmas."

I started towards the door and when I got there, I turned to him.

"I can show you your room now. It isn't really large, but I think it will work for now."

"I'm sure it's perfect," I told her. "I'm not one to complain. You should see some of the places I've been staying lately."

"I can only imagine."

I replied with a small laugh. I lead Devon off of the roof and over to my apartment. Once we were standing in front of the door, I unlocked it and walked inside. I flipped the lights on and stepped out of the way so he could walk in.

"Welcome to my humble home."

I said with a smile. It was overly large, but it wasn't half bad for a college student, who didn't have a ton of money.

"It's great," I said as I looked around. "It feels real, like someone actually lives here. I've never actually stayed in a place like that before."

"Really?"

I asked, surprised. I figured that he probably stayed in plenty of homes and mansions over the years since he was wealthy, but what he said did make sense. He probably didn't have a real home...like a home that felt comforting and inviting.

"Well, I am going to make sure that you enjoy your time here then."

I added with a smile. I looked around and wondered if he had any bags with him.

"Do you have some bags with you?"

I blushed as I looked down at the ground. "Just... just what I'm wearing. I didn't have time to pack before I left my last place because my dad's guards were about to burst in. I spent the rest of my money on this suit and the rose, and the bus ticket here."

I thought that it was really sweet of him to spend the rest of his money on this tux and a ticket to go and see me. I felt bad though because Devon didn't have anything else to wear. I bit my lip and got an idea.

"My brother left some clothes here last time he stayed with me, so perhaps you could borrow them for now?"

"Yes, I'm definitely sure."

I assured him. I didn't want Devon to have to wear that same tux the entire time that he was here. Besides, I originally was going to dump Jack's clothes or donate them since we were on the outs, so they would be good for him to wear.

"You used your money to buy a bus ticket here, your tux and this beautiful rose...so this is the least that I could do."

"Thanks, Abby," I said, hoping his clothes would fit. I'd hate to have to wear a tux for the entire time I was here. I found the clothes in a dresser in the room I'd be staying in. I put on a blue sweatshirt and a pair of blue jeans that were really loose on me. His shoes were all about two sizes too small for me.

I came back out a few minutes later.


"How do I look?"

"You look uncomfortable, but good other than that."

I replied with a small smile. Jack did weigh more than Devon and it showed in the clothing size. I wouldn't say that Devon was swimming in the clothes, but they didn't exactly fit him right either.

"Are you sure that those clothes are going to work? I can go to the store and buy you something. I just need you to write down your sizes."

"No, they're fine," I told her. I had to hold his pants up so they wouldn't slide down on me, and his shirt kept sliding off my shoulder, but it was better than nothing. "I'm just grateful to have some clothes to wear at all."

"I might be able to find you a pin or something to help."

I walked over to my desk and started going through all of my things. I finally located a couple of pins and walked back over to Devon. I opened his hand and placed the pins in it.

"These should help make the clothes fit a little better. That way, you should be a little bit more comfortable."

"Thanks," I said as I put the pins in the clothes. They started feeling a bit more comfortable after that. "Are those christmas cookies I smell?"

I smiled and nodded. He had a very good nose because I had finished baking a little while ago. In fact, I had put the Christmas cookies in a tin already. I figured that the baking scent stuck with the apartment and that's how he knew.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, those are cookies that you are smelling."

I walked out into the kitchen and opened up the tin that I had placed the cookies in. I set the lid on the counter and brought the tin over to Devon.

"Would you like one? I'm not a pro baker or anything like that, but I think these turned out decent."

I took one of the cookies and took a bite out of it. It was pretty good.

"Wow, these are amazing," I told her. "Are you sure you're not a pro?"

I laughed and shook my head. Either he was trying to be really sweet, or he really liked them that much. Regardless, I was glad that he wasn't spitting it out in disgust or anything like that.

"Yes, I am definitely sure that I am not a pro."

"They're still great," I told her. "So, do you want to watch a movie, or sit in front of the fire?"

I'd do anything she asked. I felt safe with Abby and knew that as long as I was with her, nothing bad could happen.

I thought about his options and decided that sitting by the fire sounded better. We could even drink hot cocoa together. It would be nice, quiet and it would give me a chance to talk to him some more.

"I think sitting by the fire would be nice. I can make us some hot cocoa too since it's cold out."

Sitting by a fire and drinking hot cocoa just seemed to go together extremely well. Hopefully Devon agreed.

"That sounds great," I said as I looked at her. Sitting by the fire would be nice, and I'd be able to get to know Abby a little better.

I smiled and walked out in the kitchen. I put some water on the stove and got out some hot chocolate from in the pantry. I then fished out some marshmellows and set them next to the hot chocolate.

"Do you like marshmellows in your hot chocolate?"

I asked him. Regardless if he did or not, I liked them in mine, so it wasn't like I needed to put them away or anything.

"Yeah," I replied. I loved adding marshmallows or whipped cream to my hot chocolate. It just seemed... plain without it.

"So, how long has your brother been missing?" I asked. Maybe if I did go back to try to sell of my father's territory, I could use some of his old connections to try to find him for Abby before I got out completely.

I had to stop and think about how long my brother had been missing before. The last time that I had actually seen him was the night where he showed the video footage of Dillon and Lucas. All of my days seemed to blend together, but it had to have been at least a month since I has last seen Jack.

"About a month."

I replied with a sigh. Right now, with the way that I felt, I wasn't all that eager to have him back in my life. I still didn't believe that something actually happened to him.

"He busted up my relationship and most likely skipped town after he got done wrecking my life."
