Star Light, Star Bright // One-On-One // CLOSED

"It's not your fault. It's mine."

"I want to help.." He said, still holding onto her arm.

"It'd been 5 years, Blake. I've been kidding myself that they're still alive or coming back. I need to accept that they're gone."

"There's still hope Abi. I promised, remember?"

Abi looked at Blake, then felt each of her sisters items in turn. The feel of Rachael's sakura earrings; The jewels on Katelyn's Fox pendant; The little soccer boots attached to Taylor's charm bracelet; The gold band of Maxine's ring. She looked back at Blake and nodded

"Good. Tell me what you found out then." He pulled her back over to the couch and sat down, still holding her hand.

"OK so it said: [insert clue here]. I think it might be referring to Adelia."

"Where'd you find it?"

"I was rifling through some old things and found it."

"Oh, well why do you think it refers to Adelia?"

"Because it says [insert sentence here]."

“You should try following it. I mean, it’s the first clue to where they are in what? Three, four years?”

"Five, actually," Abi laughed softly. "We need to go see Adelia in the hospital."

“Wait you found her?!”

Abi was confused. "Found who?"

“You just said we need to go see Adelia in the hospital?”

"Is that not where she is? I assumed that from what you said earlier."

“I have no idea where she is..” He said truthfully.

Abi recalled about half an hour earlier. "Then why did you say she was in the hospital?" Her brow furrowed as anger flashed across her blue eyes. "Why did you lie to me?"

“I-I didn’t want to tell you. With everything going on I thought it would be best. I shouldn’t have lied..I’m sorry Abi. I don’t know why I keep doing this to you..”

If Abi wasn't so desperate to find her sisters now more than ever with this newfound clue, she would have left things with Blake the same way as four years ago. Instead, she picked up her bag and started walking to the door.

Blake stood up and out a hand on the door, looking at Abi. “I’m so sorry. And I don’t deserve you, but when you left I never stopped loving you. After my brother died I tried pushing you away becuase you were just another person I didn’t have anymore. But I still love you, and I want to help.” He didn’t give her time to respond before wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her close to him, kissing her hard.

Abi leaned back into the kiss, missing Blake's touch so much. When they broke away, she said breathlessly: "I mean, I was just gonna go try and find Adelia but that works too."

“I missed you so much.” He murmured, hugging her tightly and burying his face in her neck.

Abi hugged back, not wanting to let go. "I missed us," She said.

“Me too..” He replied, remembering how much he had missed her.

Abi tried to break from the hug, and basically had to pry Blake off her. "Enough missing for now. We have find Adelia. But where could she be?" Abi thought, looking around. The grand piano caught her eye. "I wonder….." She thought out loud, and walked over to it.

Blake reluctantly followed her over to the piano. “I don’t know what happened. One minute she was in the hospital then they said she had checked out and left.”

Abi opened the lid of the piano and immediately saw a small gold flower pendant. She turned to Blake. "I know where Adelia is."

“How the hell?” He frowned down at the flower.
