Chapter IX

The next morning, Abby woke up on her couch. After spending hours crying and waiting for Kyle to come home, Abby finally succumbed to fatigue and fell asleep just before dawn. When she woke up, she immediately checked the time on her phone and saw it was mid-morning. She got off the couch to check the other rooms of the house thinking that maybe Kyle had come home and she hadn’t noticed. She looked everywhere. Kyle was nowhere to be found. She checked her phone again for calls or text messages. There were messages from Brianna but none from Kyle.

Yawning and rubbing her eyes, she made her way to the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. While the coffee brewed, Abby picked her phone up off the counter and called work. She rubbed her stiff neck while she waited for Jeremy or the cashier on duty to pick up the phone.

When Jeremy answered the phone, Abby told him she was not going to work that day. She told him she was not feeling well. It was not a complete lie. Abby did not feel ill physically, but emotionally, she was terminal. There was no way she was going to go to work without talking to Kyle first.

After ending her call with Jeremy, Abby called Brianna. Abby was in the middle of telling Brianna Kyle had not come home yet when she heard the jiggling of keys and the sound of her front door’s lock turning.

“I have to go. Kyle’s just walked in. I’ll call you back,” Abby whispered and ended the call. She dropped the phone on the kitchen counter and rushed out of the kitchen and into the hallway. She froze when she locked eyes with a red-eyed, disheveled Kyle who was still standing by the front door. The look in his eyes was the saddest thing Abby had ever seen.

Abby had not fully understood the full meaning of guilt until that morning when she gazed into those sad, grey eyes. It broke her heart. She had broken the heart of a man who didn’t deserve it, and she hated herself for it.

She waited for him to say something, anything to her, but Kyle didn’t utter a single word. He didn’t yell or curse her out like he had done the previous night outside Brianna’s apartment. He just stared at Abby, and Abby stared back at him.

As the uncomfortable silence between them grew louder, Kyle dropped his gaze to the floor, and dragged his tired feet towards the bathroom. Abby watched him disappear behind the bathroom’s door and come out a few minutes later with his hair and face dripping wet. Kyle walked right passed her, without looking at her or saying anything, and stepped into the kitchen.

Kyle’s silence worried Abby more than all the yelling and cursing from the previous night. She followed him into the kitchen. “Where were you? I was so worried about you. Where did you spend the night?” Abby asked, desperately trying to get him to say something, anything.
