"The beginning of the end"

[Abi's POV]

"Nate? I...", I strumbled to say.

" Abi... say yes", People in the crowd encouraged me.

I looked around to find my friends, but they are expecting the same as the crowd. I took a deep breath and...

"Yes", I said to him.

Nate stood up. Without having a second thought, he pulled me very close to him and smooched me. My eyes were widened in shock. I didn't expect this to happen, but his lips were on mine. His lips were soft and tender. His eyes were closed, but mine were wide opened. The kiss is not warm but cold like me. I didn't part my lips. He was holding me tight. His hands were caressing my waist and my hands were on his shoulders, He was performing nicely like he is a professional kisser. I don't understand, why my first kiss I gave to him. I did not feel any heart pounding as other girls say when they describe their first kiss. I am not focussing on him, but I felt something is missing between us. I thought to push him, but it will cause him to lose face in front of many fellow mates. So I let the thing happened as Nate expected. I heard the sound of the glass which got broken and we parted our ways. When I looked around it was Tyler, whose hand got severely injured and a lot of blood was dripping down on the floor.

" What the fuck. Tyler. Your hand is seriously got injured. Let me help you and take you to the doctor", The smooching guy said in worried and hold his hand.

The smooching guy. He knows Tyler well. It means they are friends. Nate ran towards him and asked, "How did it get broke?"

"I was holding it tightly, it got broke and caused the damage to me, just like...", He explained while looking at me but the sentence was incomplete.

" Let us help you then", Nate requested.

"No thanks, I am absolutely fine. This injury is nothing to me. You guys enjoy. I and Paul will go and treat my injury", He said and walks towards me.

" Abigail Carton", He roared. "A hearty congratulations to you and your partner for beginning the new and fresh relationship", He said and tried to smile but did not give his patent smirked.

"Paul takes this first aid and to treat his injury fast else it can cause an infection to him", Nate said in worried but politely and gently.

" Okay", He said and took Tyler along with him out of the house party.

"Everybody apology for the inconvenience caused to you. Enjoy the party", Nate declared by raising up his glass of whiskey in the air.

" Nate, who was that guy named Paul? I never saw him in college and attending lectures with us", I asked him calmly and standing next to him.

"His name is Paul Weasley. He is Tyler's best and a close friend. He is the son of the Weasley group, which has penetrated the market of constructions and numerous. They are the second rich in the city", He explained confidently.

"Then who is the first rich in the city?" I raised a question like a student.

"Well, even I don't know the same", He answered.

" You are the third rich in the city, right," I asked and took a walk with him.

"Yes, very smart", He complimented me.

" Hmmm, thank you", I said in proud.

"I cannot believe that you said yes to me. I mean you... You are my girlfriend. Somebody had said correctly the hard work pays off", He was excited and happy like an innocent kid.

" Yes, same here. Even I feel the same for you", I pretended to be glad. I looked around for my friends in this huge living room. They were having fun at the party and enjoying the drinks. They looked at me and gave a toss. I took the glass of red wine from the waiter who was passing by me.

"So Abi, can you tell me about your friends", He asked and took his first drink from the glass.

" Why about my friends? Why not about me?" I asked and looked at him.

"Because they are your close friends and soon they will going to be my friends too." He gave the reason.

"Okay", I sighed." Ask what you want to know about them", I said and took the first gulp of wine.

"How is Gianna in person?", He shot the first question.

" Gianna is bold, gossip queen and clumsy. But good-hearted human. She easily gets nervous", I answered and we sat on a dark black couch which is placed in the living room.

"What about Samantha and Blaire" He shot another question.

"Samantha is a smart ass, mean and knows how to make her work done. Blaire is emotional, caring and choose her word wisely in talks, helpful", I answered him. Basically, I praised my friends.

" Who is the mother of the group?", He chuckled.

"Blaire", I answered without taking a nanosecond.

" Who is Abi?", He asked about me in a firm voice.

"I am a passionate, observant and moody", I answered him and looked in his eyes. " You will come to know well about me when we will spend time together till then have patience". I raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Nate, C'mon man", Ethan called him from the distant.

He nodded his head in agreement and looked at me. "Give a minute, I will be right back", He planted a kiss on my forehead and left.

I shook my head. Everybody looks happy around me, but what about me? Will I be happy with Nate? Tough he is a gentleman to me, understandable. Every girl chases him but he chased me and proposed to me. He proposed to me which was good, however, there was no need to repeat the same and on top of that, he smooched me in front of everyone. I took a deep breath. Of course, I am his girlfriend, not an alien and it's not so uncommon. Are you mad? I didn't expect this kind of behavior from him. I can understand his excitement but at least he would have apologized to you like I am sorry Abi, my subconsciousness yelled at me.

What about Tyler? What's wrong with him? When he congratulated me, it was not a wish for good luck. I felt he was mocking me. His eyes were swelled---------- because of drinks, my subconscious interrupted me. It's very hard to read Tyler's thoughts. He is very confusing to you, my subconsciousness added further.

" Congratulations Abi." Richa wished me and the chain of my thoughts broke. Even my subconsciousness ran away due to afraid of her. Hahaha.

"Thanks", I said in attitude and she left. She. Just. Left. like that, not even uttered a single word. Wow, that's great. Now she will stop to pester me, but will absolutely curse inside her heart.

I should go out and inhale some fresh air. Ouch, my legs got numb still I walk slowly. I took slow steps and finally reached the lawn. This is also very huge and surrounded by greenery, the stars are shining and the moon is in full shape. Huh. This looks so beautiful and breathtaking moment. The sky is black. I love night this kind of night. My phone buzzed. Not again. Oh, there is a message from dad. He wrote, " Abi there is a surprise for you waiting at home. I hope you will like it. Remember, to take care of yourself and your mom. Be at home early from the parties. Not like the last time. Dad loves you".

"Love you, Dad", I replied.

" Let me allow to put an ointment on your wounds" I heard a sound and it took to be a...

"Tyler. Don't act like a fucking moron. I don't get it. Why are you suffering? What's wrong? I am your best friend, feel free to share your thoughts with me" He said and applied ointment on his wound.

Paul was trying to pluck out the broken glass pieces from his wound. The cut was very deep. The blood was dripping down on the ground nonstop. Tyler didn't flinch from the pain. It was quite miserable to see that yet he didn't treat his wound properly.

"Why Paul? Why?", He roared in pain. "Why she did this to me? Why she doesn't care for me, my feelings? Does she can't see through her eyes what I feel for her", He cried out his heart.

" Tyler, don't chase the things which don't belong to you man", Paul said in concerned.

"Why I am alone in the world? Why I can't deserve her? God is always unfair to me. Am I not capable to be happy and be with her", He said and tears were running from his eyes.

" I think you are drunk bro. Just forget her.", Paul consoled him.

He is crying so hard. Why he is in so much pain? Whom he is talking about? Why I am feeling sad for him? And tears rolled on my cheeks.
