Basement experience

"Did you bring the ladder ?" Abigail said but I was so distracted by whatever was in front of me.

"Foster!!" , I snapped out of it and looked at her , raised my eyebrows to let her know I was paying attention.

"Did you bring the ladder?" she said and I was confused why we needed a ladder.

"Come on Abigail a ladder for what now just climb out" I looked up at the crack I jumped in and it was so high up , "Whoa" I said ,

"Still think I'm crazy asking for a ladder?" Abigail said while sitting down on a box that was in the corner.

"It was not that deep when I jumped in here Abigail I swear" I said trying to make it clear that it was like a meter deep but now it looked like 3 meters up. I thought of how to get out of there while she sat on that box looking all pretty and I turned and looked at the things in the basement and pointed my torch at this statue right beside me and my torch flickered. I banged it against my hands.

"Get off that box Abigail" I said looking up. We stacked up about 5 boxes and I got on them. "Come on" I said . I carried Abigail on my shoulders and she managed to reach the crack and climbed out. She got the ladder and I got out too.

"I should give that estate agent a call , he has some real explaining to do , fuck dammit are you okay , any bruises , trauma , asthma attacks , anxiety?" I asked .

"I'm fine plus you're the one with asthma Foster" she said.

"Good you're still conscious" I joked while looking for my phone which I feared might be in my car.

"Aye yo Foster what you up to man " Dan said who let himself into my house , I mean the door was open and Abigail and I were facing it but still he was clearly intruding. He walked in like he was a friend of mine and I just watched , ready to pounce if he tried to hit on my Abigail because he had some crush on her.

"Hey Abby" he said.

"Don't you nickname her Dan her name is Abigail if you can't deal with that then don't bother calling her" I said showing him that if he tried he'd be threw.

"Babe" she said giving me a cold stare.

"No need to be hostile Foster" he said. I decided to let it slide only to deal with him later when Abigail wasn't present.

"You got dust on your shirt bro you okay?" Dan asked.

"I'm fine it was the stupid statue in the basement its covered in dust I guess I must have touched it" I said.

"Foster", Abigail called but I avoided her for some reason ,I was just so defensive. "Foster!!" she called once more and I looked at her and looked at Dan who was staring right back at me.

"Whats wrong Abby?" Dan asked and that was it I had enough of this guy I grabbed him and pushed him towards the kitchen counter. I smashed his head on the counter while holding his left arm .

"FOSTER!"

"What?" I snapped.

"That statue you are talking about wasn't where it was when you jumped in there , it was in the back corner on the other side of the room ," she cried and confused I let go of Dan and turned to face her ....."Excuse me"
