Three months later-After graduation (10 years ago)
Last Updated:
2021-08-20 20:40:01"All I am saying is the two of you spend more time together than the two of us do anymore" Becca whined.
"Yeah, but that's because you are always with Nick. Sorry, but I don't want to sit around while the two of you have y'alls tongues down each other throats."
"I know, you're right. Here they come now." Becca has a big smile on her face.
"Hey, baby!" Becca jumps in Nick's arms.
"Hey, Liv." Nick smiles at me before kissing Becca.
"Hey" JP walks over to me
"Hey"
"Congrats. You are no longer a high school student" He laughs.
"I know. Thank God, it's finally over. Will you hold this while I take this gown off, please.?"
JP grabs the stuff out of my hands while I unzip my gown to reveal the dress I had worn underneath. I decided to wear a white dress that hugged my hips and show my ass off. It's against the dress code, but hey I've already gotten my diploma. They can't do anything about it now. I was upset that my parents couldn't be here because of work, but they did surprise me the night before with a brand new vehicle. They said they had been saving up for it. I was so thankful but I wish they would have spent the money on something for themselves. I had been saving up to get myself something eventually. They said at least I have money put up for other things I needed.
"Damn girl. You look good." JP smiled at me looking me over head to toe.
I smiled back at him getting ready to reply when Becca and Nick walk over.
"So, are we going to do something or what?" Becca asks.
"Did you have something in mind?"
"I actually can't. Sorry, I have a date with this girl I have been talking to on a dating app." JP speaks up.
My heart dropped. I know we didn't have plans but I thought he would at least hang out with me tonight. I didn't dare let that disappointment show though.
"First date since you've stopped sleeping around, right?" Nick asked
"Yeah, man. We have been talking for about 2 weeks. She asked me last night if I would want to finally meet up and go out to eat."
"That's awesome dude. I hope it goes well."
JP had been talking to a girl for 2 weeks and I didn't even know. No wonder he had been a little distant from me. I'm not sure why, but I get that feeling that I'm about to lose him. He had become my best friend over the last couple of months, besides from Becca of course. I really thought I would be able to get JP to fall for me, but I guess I was wrong. In the end that's all, I was worth, a friendship.
"Liv, hello? Do you want to go?"
"Sorry, go where? I kind of spaced out there for a minute"
"Do you want to go out to eat with me and Nick?"
"No, I'm good. I think I'm going to go home and spend the night with my parents. They will be home tonight. Thanks for the invite though. I hope y'all have a good night. And JP I hope your date goes well, this is what we have been working towards." I reach out and grab my stuff from JP. I notice that the 3 of them are all looking at me but don't say anything.
"I'll talk to y'all later. I'm going to head home." I reach over and hug Becca.
"Bye," Nick and Becca said.
"I'll walk you to your car," JP says. Great, I just wanted to be left alone.
The walk to my 2011 Toyota Camry was quiet. JP didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything to him.
"What's wrong Liv?" JP pushes my car door back closed and leans up against the door so I can't get in.
I back up away from him and shake my head, "Nothing. I'm just ready to go home."
"Did I do something wrong? I know when something is bothering you."
"You know JP, not everything is about you. Everyone has plans tonight, I don't. So I'm going home to spend the rest of the night with my parents."
"Why didn't you just go with Becca and Nick?"
I give him that, "Are you serious look". "Becca and Nick were going on a date. I was not about to be a third wheel. Just please move and let me get into my car and leave. I really do hope that your date goes well tonight. Be a gentleman like we have talked about. I know you got it in you."
I could tell JP didn't want to move from the way he hesitated but he finally did.
"Text me tomorrow and let me know how your date went. Maybe the two of you will hit it off and she will be your one."
Before I get into the car JP throws his arms around me and pulls me into him. I hug him back of course. He leans down and kisses the top of my head. "Thank you for getting me this far, Liv. You have been a really good friend to me. And again congrats."
JP steps back and I smile at him before turning away to get into my car. He watches me as I drive away.
***
At 11:23 P.M. my phone begins ringing, waking me up from my sleep. I reach over grabbing my phone to see JP was calling me.
"Hello" I answer my voice sounding rough from just waking up
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's fine. Everything ok?"
"Yes... No... I don't know. I'm outside your house. Can I come in or either you come out please?"
"Let me throw a hoodie on and I'll be right out." I hang the phone up and go over to my closet to get a hoodie. I already had shorts and a tank top on. I knew it would be warm out but I was cold at the moment.
Walking out the front door I see JP sitting on the tailgate of his truck. He looks like he is fighting a battle on the inside.
"What's wrong? How did your date go?"
"Not too great. I couldn't focus on the girl because I was too worried about another one."
"There's another one?"
"Yeah, there has always been another. I just couldn't come out and tell her."
What in the world is he talking about? I just don't understand what's going on right now. I didn't even know he had been talking to another girl.
"Well, who is she? Are you going to tell her?"
JP hops down off the tailgate and walks over to me, I tense up. Oh no. No, no, no. Please don't do it.
He walks right up to me grabs my face in his hands and lowers his head until his lips are touching mine. It takes me a second to get my body to react but, then I kiss back. My arms make their way around his neck as he walks me backward to a tree so that I'm leaning against it. Finally, he pulls away from me.
"JP. What was that?"
"I am crazy about you. Since the first night I saw you at the party, I knew I had to get to know you. When I used to make those other girls think that you were my girlfriend, I pretending those moments were real. It felt great to know I mattered to someone and not just someone to sleep with. You are beautiful and full of life. I'm not sure exactly when but with all of the time we were spending together I fell for you. I tried not to. That's why I agreed to go on that date tonight with that girl. I thought maybe if I went, I'd get you out of my head. But it only made it worse. The entire time I sat there with her, I was secretly wishing it was you instead. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. I... "
"JP... stop. I understand. Somewhere along the way, I started falling for you too. I just don't know if you and I are a good idea."
"Why do you say that?" he frowns
"You and I are two totally different people. You are far more experienced than I am on multiple levels. I just don't know if we would work."
"Come on Olivia. Just because we are different doesn't mean we won't work. And just because I'm more experienced than you, that does not mean a thing at all. I've changed over these last couple of months for you. I waited to react on this until I knew for sure how I felt about you and I made sure I could control myself around other girls, as you liked to say."
"Ugh. You drive me crazy. You make me question everything." I pull away from him to go hop up on his tailgate to sit.
He follows me standing in front of me. He hesitates but then walks forward pushing my legs apart so that he's standing in between my legs.
Putting each of his hands on both of my sides he leans in. "Stop overthinking everything. Stop questioning everything. You have feelings for me just like I do for you. Just let go. Give me the chance to be everything you need in a guy"
Looking into his eyes I try to see if he's just pulling me along. But as I sit here and stare into his eyes, I can't read him. What do I do? Do I give this a chance or do I listen to what Becca told me from day one?

Forgive and Let Go   Time to tell everyone (10 years ago)
It's been a month since the night that JP and I both confessed our feelings to each other. We decide to give it a go but on the hush-hush. Yeah, not even Becca or Nick knows about our relationship. We already spend so much time together as it is, so no one suspects anything different."Get. Off. Of. Me." I tell JP in between kisses."Why" He frowns at me pushes his self up to sit straight on the couch in the house that he and Nick share."Becca and Nick will be walking through that door at any given minute.""So what? Haven't we hid our relationship long enough?"I sigh, it's like we have this same conversation every time I tell him someone will be around soon. I hear keys in the doo

It has been 3 days since we told Becca and Nick about us. Three days since our little sexual encounter. Sexual frustration is a real thing. I used to think otherwise but since that day, just being around JP makes me want to rip his clothes off and have him fuck me.I am currently sitting in my room going through emails. During the last few months of high school, I did loads of college applications. I have so many unopened emails from colleges. I'm not quite sure if I was accepted or denied, but I figured I might as well go ahead and begin looking through them now so I can decide where I want to go. Before I met JP I wanted to go to a school that was 5 hours away, in a whole different state. Now, though, I'm not too sure what I want to do. JP and I haven't even talked about it. I do know that I am going to school to become a surgical technician. I thought about going to be a doctor but af

"I'm sorry about that, Liv.""It's ok. No need to apologize you sure didn't do anything wrong. She is just not over you. I guess that's what you would call it""You know, to be honest with you, I tried to be more than just sex for her. Before I decided to have all 4 girls. But she didn't want anything more. Now that I'm committed to you, she wants my attention. That's all this is with her.""You mean you had real feelings for her?""Yeah, back when we were freshmen. She didn't want me in that way. So I let her go. Then Sophomore year I started seeing Lacey. Lacey was just someone I slept with. Then came Samantha. Once Maggie caught wind that I was messing around with someone she came back wanting sex. That is all she ever wanted. Then

The night turns into morning. I tossed and turned all night and did not get a wink of sleep. JP never even texted me to let me know that he had made it home. I sent him at least 10 text messages asking him to please let me know something. Finally around 7 I pull myself out of bed and go downstairs. Luckily my mom and dad are still sleeping. I put a pot of coffee on, I know I'm going to need this entire pot. I'm still not sure where last night went wrong, even after a long night of thinking I'm still stumped.Around 8:30 I send Becca a text.Liv: Are you up?Becca: Yeah, I'm at Nicks. How was your date?Liv: I was good until it wasn't. Do you happen to know if JP made it back there?B

I guess you are probably wondering what happened after that night that I received the video of Maggie giving JP a blow job. Well, here it goes. It's actually pretty short and simple.About twenty minutes into my walking, Becca and Nick pick me up. They asked what had happened and I told them the rundown of it all. Nick was pissed that JP would do that but they were friends after all. Becca was also pissed she was ready to find JP and cut his dick off. I didn't hear from JP again after that night I didn't even hear anything about him again except for the small talk between Becca and Nick about him. Like I said Nick and JP were still best friends, but JP stayed away after Nick, Becca, and I moved to South Carolina for school. Well, Nick moved because of Becca, not for school. He actually got a job working with an electrical company working on powerlines. Anyway, after a year of being here,

"What can I get you to drink?" I stare at JP. He looks sexier now than he did 2 years ago. I can't fall into that smile trap though. Stay focused Olivia.As if he knew what I was thinking he smirks at me. "I'll take a beer.""Ok, I'll be back over in a few minutes." I flee away from their table as fast as I can, almost tripping over my feet in the process. I go to the bar to put in his order. Then grab the other tables' drinks and take them to their table. As I go to walk by another table, one of the men that has been drinking a beer reached out grabbing my wrist pulling me into him. He was smiling and laughing."Come on baby, give me a kiss" he kept saying. He was completely wasted so I didn't let it bother me too much."I'm sure the

The next morning I wake up to both missed calls and text messages. A bunch of them were from Austin but there were also a couple from Becca and Nick. I didn't call nor text Austin last night when I made it home. So he was blowing up my phone asking if I had made it. Then he sent a text saying that he knew I was home because he ended up calling Becca. Nick sent a few messages saying that he was sorry he didn't tell me about JP. Just as I was going through the text from Becca, my phone rings. It's Austin."Hey.""Hey. How'd you sleep?""Can't complain. How was the rest of your night at work?""It was fine. Everything went smoothly. How is your wrist?""It's fine. Just bruised. What are

I am currently sitting at Nick and Becca's place with the two of them and JP."I can't believe that douche bag. I hate to say it but I think he was already hooking up with that Clair chick at the nightclub." Becca shrugged."Oh well, it doesn't matter either way. One day I will be knocked off of my feet by a good guy. So far I've had shit luck." I glance over at JP."Oh please don't you two start," Nick said giving me a warning."She's right. Liv, you will find a decent guy one day. But with you not doing anything with them.. that's going to be hard. You better go sign up on Christian mingle." He begins laughing like he just said the funniest thing he's ever heard."You know, you're

Forgive and Let Go   My happy Ending
It has been almost 9 months since JP and I announced to our best friends and my parents that we were married along with me announcing that I am pregnant. Surprisingly, they were super excited that I'm pregnant. JP was the happiest of all. We were both hoping for a little boy and guess what? I am having a boy.You are probably wondering how Will and Maggie felt about all of this. Let's just say we were both in court fighting for custody of our children. Of course, JP and I won all the way around. They had nothing on either one of us. Which there was nothing to have on us, to begin with. We are both fit parens plus we are married. Therefore we have the girls the majority of the time but we still let them go stay with their other parent. We are not the type of parents to keep them away from their mom/dad."Mommy! It's time to get up. Me, J
Forgive and Let Go   You did what?!?
"Good morning, Mrs. Price." I open my eyes to see JP lingering over me.I smile at him, "Good morning, Mr. Price."Flashback to the beach" I don't want to push you. I know what you said about us. I know you said no labels. But Liv, I don't want anyone else but you. We hand out. We go out. We have amazing sex." He stops and turns me so that I am looking at him. "We do everything that a couple does. Hell, we even have two children who are like sisters to each other. McKayla loves you. Alyssa loves me. Why can't we just make this official? I'm not asking you to become dependent on me. I know you can handle yourself. I know that better than anyone else. I love you, let's get married."
Forgive and Let Go   Present day
"When are you just going to give in and be with him?" Becca asks as we are sitting on the beach watching the guys and kids play in the water."I am with him. What do you mean?""Come on, Liv, you know what I mean. It's been a year and you still haven't given in to him.""I told all of you, I will do this on my own terms. Right now, I am enjoying what we have. I don't want to put labels on ... who is that girl?" I sit up looking out at this chick who currently had her hand on JP's arm.Becca sits up to look. She then smirks at me. "I don't know, but it shouldn't matter. Right?"I could feel the jealousy hitting hard as I sit back and try to act like it isn't bothering me.
Forgive and Let Go   The ball is in your court (1 year ago)
It has been nearly 2 months since that night at the club. Ever since that night, JP has been coming to my house every weekend. Some weekends we just hang out with the kids and then other weekends, we are kid-free and you know what that means. You are probably wondering how the emotional part of this is going. That part is very complicated. Of course, we are catching feelings with all the time we spend together but I refuse to become dependent on any man again. I know at any minute JP or myself could meet someone. No, I'm not looking. Is he? That I can't tell you. I don't ask because I don't want to know.Alyssa has been staying with her dad and Kasey a good bit. She tells me all the time, "Mommy, I love you but I want to go to daddy's." What am I supposed to do? Tell her no. Tell her I want her here with me? I think she likes going over there so much because Kasey keeps her niece a lot.
Forgive and Let Go   I only want sex (1 year ago)
I look around, trying to find the guy from earlier. At first, I didn't see him but then I found him. I frowned realizing that he and another girl were making out in a dark corner. Oh well."Hey." JP comes up."Hey" I smile at him feeling the alcohol go through me. I was already a little buzzed. So as I'm standing here looking up at him, I have all kinds of feelings running through my body. And of course, he knew it."Let's dance."I grab his hand and follow him out to the dance floor. At first, we are just swaying to the music, not touching. I needed to feel his hands on me. I step closer to him just as he grabs my hands and pulls them up and around his shoulder so they were wrapped around his neck. We sway to the music looking at eac

This past year has flown by. In a couple of months, Alyssa will be 3 years old. Will, has moved on to someone else. He asked her to marry him last month. So now he is currently engaged. Does it hurt? Of course, it does, but I have become fine with just focusing on Alyssa and myself. Alyssa goes to daycare and I work in a doctor's office now. There are times where I want to pack up our things and move far away, but that's just not possible. For one, my parent's bought me this nice house for Christmas 2 years ago. Then, Will is here. I can't take Alyssa from her dad. The two of them have this bond that I can't even explain. Alyssa asked me a few days ago if she could go stay with her dad. I know she didn't mean permanently. I mean she's only about to be 3, but just her being able to ask me that broke my heart a little.The front door opens and Alyssa comes running in, followed by Will and

It has been almost two weeks since my hospital visit. Two weeks of having only myself and Alyssa to worry about. I'm not going to lie, I miss Will like crazy. Falling in love with him for a second time has really hurt me."Olivia!" Becca and Nick come into my room.How in the hell did she even get into my house. I don't even bother sitting up or looking at her. "What?""You have got to get out of that bed and get back to life. I'm sorry for everything that has happened to you, but you are better than this." I feel the bed shift as Becca sits down."Look, I'm fine. I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. I just want to be left alone.""Too fucking bad. I have allowed you to be lik

"Olivia. Please wake up, baby. Wake up." I hear as I slowly open my eyes."Where am I?" I manage to ask."You are at the hospital, honey." My mom says.In the hospital? I think to myself. Why am I in the hospital? I don't understand. Then it hits me. JP. Will. His parents. Alyssa. My baby. I grab my stomach and try to jump up but I try too quickly which causes my head to begin pounding."Lay back, Liv. Let me go get the nurse." My mom says and heads towards the door."Mom, wait!" I plead for her to turn around.She stops with her hand on the door but doesn't turn around."Please, j

"Did the two of you not learn your lesson the first time around?" His mom folds her arms across her chest.I look at Will, who in return looks at his mom. "How about you and dad take Alyssa up to her room? This is none of your concern." Will passes Alyssa over to his dad."I can't believe this shit. Why would you even be having sex with her?!?! Or why not be careful. Why was protection not used?" His mom argues."Mom now is NOT the time. Go." Will growled."Ok, so first things first. Why are you here?" Will looks at JP. But continues before JP can respond. "Oh yeah, your fiance broke up with you so now you're coming back to try and claim Olivia. Am I right?""Will, calm down, please. I handled this. JP is leaving. He has no business here now." I grab onto Will's arm trying to calm him down. I didn't want these two guys fighting here.Will looks down at me, I can see the questions written all over his face.
