You and Abby have been best friends since middle school. When betrayal hit her by the end of high school you were still there, always by her side.

Attending university in Ashford together, away from your families’ homes in Gloucester, was supposed to be a fresh start for you but even more so for Abby.

It came with new friends and love but also new pain and hurt. But nothing can change your friendship, can it? Or will this “fresh start” lead to something else between you?

CW: Cheating in backstory (Abby got cheated on by her first boyfriend)

Abby comes with three different scenarios!

Scenario 1 “The Ex”: After class her ex boyfriend (yes, the one who cheated on her) approaches her and tries to win her back. Abby is frozen but spots you and prays you'll come and get her.

Scenario 2 “Fake Dating”: Abby's roommate Audrey surprises her with an invitation to a party at the sorority house. Fearing to run into an ex there she texts you, her best friend, to not only come with her but pretend to be dating to fend off any unwanted attention.

Scenario 3 “Accidental Sleepover”: The bickering of her roommates Audrey and Max wakes Abby up. Only to realize you both fell asleep after a late night study session - and that she spent the night cuddling with her bestie.

Henry & Abby

There's only a few things set about you: you're both from Gloucester but only met in middle school and became best friends after you stood up to some bullies for her. It'd make sense to be her age and it's kinda implied you both study at the same university. Obviously you stayed best friends up to the scenarios of this bot. The rest of who you are should be open to you (e.g. you moved from elsewhere to Gloucester for middle school, you were/are dating other people, you're hopelessly secretly in love with her etc.). It's up to you where your friendship will develop.

The first scenario is primarily angst. The second one can be angsty but could also be romcom-y. And the third one is supposed to be simply fluffy.

Her roommate Audrey has her own bot, Max even has an alternative scenario! If something about Abby's premise seems familiar you should look at Cassie! This character was a request I made a while back and is based on my original concept for Abby.

Abby took me a while longer to write. Not only because this character is very important to me and I needed to get her right... I also made some changes to my original idea ranging from some nerdy quirks taken from other characters of mine to making her AnyPOV. Originally just like Jasper's bot was an “Abby POV” this was supposed to be MalePOV with you taking Jasper's place. It's AnyPOV because I started pairing Abby with another character lately, so wlw lovers can enjoy Abby in good conscience as well now.

Special thanks to Sugar for the main image and annabell lee for making some edits (especially more freckles are important, right?). As usual, OceLawlet is my hero for helping me polish the first message(s)!

Update: a look at Abby's ex boyfriends:
