What Mattered Most
by Rhiannon and AJ A.K.A. The Diabolically Machiavellian Sisters
Notes: The original idea for this fic was given to us by our cheerleader, Jenn. So if you are gonna
kill us, kill her too. Summary: What does Abbey do when not around Jed???? Disclaimer: Just two
poor college kids having some fun.
"Hey sexy." Jed answered the ringing phone on his bed stand.
"Hey yourself, handsome." Abbey's detached voice came over the phone line.
"What's wrong?" Jed picked up on her detachment, immediately.
"Well..." Abbey took a poignant pause. "I'm afraid I have to-"
"Not again!" Jed shouted in disbelief.
"Lilli said-"
"I'm gonna kill Lilli. How much longer do you have to stay this time?"
Abbey inhaled deeply, "Three more days." She said, holding her breath in, waiting for the explosion
to come.
"Okay." Jed said, giving in relatively easy.
Letting out the breath that she had been holding in, she asked, "You're not mad?"
"I could never be mad at you." Jed said lovingly.
"Really?" Abbey seemed amused.
"Yes, really." Jed said. "So why do you have to extend your trip this time?"
"Um ... well ... uh ... Lilli discovered this one place the other day, and she'd like the chance for us
to visit it, but we can't for two more days... Why, I don't know."
"Okay."
"You in bed, yet?" Abbey asked.
"Yes, I am. And you?"
"I just woke up for the day."
"Forgot about the time difference. So, what's on your agenda today?"
"I think I'm touring a hospital, and after that, I have no clue."
Jed smiled, "You're beginning to get like me."
"Yeah, it scared me too." Abbey smiled as well. "Hey baby, I need to go now, and you need to get
your sleep. Call me ... when you wake up."
"I love you. Hurry home, cause I think I may be getting sick."
"You wouldn't be saying that, just so I'll take your temperature would you?"
"I plead the fifth, my love."
"You're impossible, Jed." Abbey paused. "Love you, bye." She said as she hung the phone up.
"It's about time you get off the phone, Abs." A tall, handsome, blonde-haired man whispered into
Abbey's ear, before he began to nibble on it.
