OLIVIA

It felt like I wasn't driving at all, as I cruised on the seemingly endless narrow road. How did I end up like this? Probably my parents again, still haunting my existence. I finally spot the sign to my uncle's farmhouse and mentally sigh. I'm emotionally exhausted and all I want to do is sleep and forget about today. I drive through the gravel mud road and after twenty minutes, my uncle's farmhouse comes into view. Nothing has changed, it's still the same way I remember. The farmhouse is not big, but enough for him, with numerous trees surrounding the area. His 1987 Jeep Gladiator truck stands parked in front of the house, with the stable a stone throw away from the house. I park Tay's car next to the truck and run to the door, pounding it. He welcomes me with his AKA forty-seven in hand, “Jesus worm! I could have shot you.” Yep, I’m the worm. If the circumstances were different I would have rolled my eyes at him or swatted his arm but I threw myself at him and clenched on his

    TAY I didn't mean to destroy her life, it was never my intention. I love her more than breathing itself. She has my soul; I cannot breathe without her and every second that passes my heart breaks into a million pieces. Keeping this from her was slowly eating me alive, it consumed me. Everyone runs away from people with HIV, and she was my only chance at love. The only one who stood by my side even though I insulted her so many times.I can't take this anymore; I must talk to her. I must explain to her that I didn't mean to hurt her. I grab my phone and check her location. I know it's creepy, but I can't help myself.Rosewoods hospital, it reads on the phone.At this hour…is she, okay? I can't help but ask myself.I hear roaring laughter downstairs, I put the phone on the bed and grab a t-shirt and walk out."Nate!" I exclaim, surprised. I didn't expect him to be back so soon."In the flesh," he says, and we do a bro hug."I wanted to surprise you guys, "he says, and Andrew runs his

    TAYMy leg makes contact with Andrew's car wheels. I yell and place my palms on the roof of the car. All I want to do right now is to go back to that house and take my wife with me, but I know right now she hates me. I would die if I lost her. I would do anything to get her back into my arms again. At least she allowed me to kiss her, that is a good sign, right? I tuck the roots of my hair and let out an angry sigh. I slide into the driver's seat and roar the car to life. I roll the window down as I drive, hoping to cool down. After a while, I spot a Starbucks and pull over. I haven't been able to sleep and every time I try, those silver-grey eyes are all I see. A few cars are parked in front of the shop. I hop out of the car and make my way inside.The inside is cozy, a few heads turn to look at me. I look terrible, I know. I ignore them and make my way to the counter."Hi, what can I get you?" a girl who seems to be Olivia's age asks. Her silver-grey eyes kept my mouth shut. Black

    OLIVIAThe doorbell rings as I wash the plate and a glass. Shawn makes his way to the door, and I finish washing it and dry my hands with a cloth."What are you doing here?"I ask Nora. I watch as Shawn stretches the back of his neck, showing his guilt."Uncle!"I whine, and he makes a puppy dog face."I'm sorry worm, but when you guys say' I'm fine' it usually means that you are not fine at all. I only have a son, so I don't know how to deal with an emotional woman..." Shawn rambles, and we let out a chuckle. "Relax, she won't bite your head off," Nora says and walks around the kitchen counter. "Come here," she says, and I don't hesitate to rush to her arms. Just being in her arms makes everything seem easy like I'm going to get over what happened. She has that motherly aura that makes her special. I would do anything for her to be my mom. "Shh, my beautiful girl. It's okay, don't cry" I didn't even realize that I was crying."That's my cue," Shawn says, and Nora breaks the hug. She

    OLIVIAI throw my clothes on the couch in frustration and make my way to the kitchen. After Tay begging me to come with him, I had no choice. It was either me going with him the easy way or the hard way. I didn't even get the chance to change or thank Chad for allowing me to stay at his house."Love, I'm sorry" I bring the bottle of water to my lips and take a sip.I keep quiet and glare at him."Please say something," his voice cracks and I take a moment to study him. He looks nothing like the Tay I knew. He hasn't shaved, his hair is wild and messy, he even has dark circles around his eyes.I place the bottle on the counter and charge for the stairs, but I don’t even make it.“How many times do you want me to apologize?”“Let go," I try to yank my hand away but he won't budge."I'm sorry for what I said at Chad's house" I manage to pull away from him."Ever since I got here all I have heard coming from your mouth is 'sorry'. Don't you ever get tired of saying it? huh?" I snap. To be

    OLIVIAI find myself sitting on the rock I sat with Nora a few days ago, watching nothing in particular. Wishing to be like the birds, they are free. They can move on, they create nests everywhere. Why does love have to be so painful? Why do our loved ones always be the ones that hurt us? Love is supposed to be beautiful, supposed to lift your spirits but the love of today is just a joke.I jump off the rock and walk to the stream. I take off my shoes, shorts and leave the t-shirt on. It stops on my mid-thighs. I pull it over to my nose and Tay's scent calms my nerves. He is like a drug that I can't get enough of. I sigh and make a run start and the next thing I know I'm in the cold water. It is not too cold but if I stay for long I might catch a cold. I resurface and push my hair back and it sticks to my head. I lay my head back in the water and float with my eyes closed enjoying the silence.I open my eyes after a while and swim to where the water is cascading down. I swim around it

    OLIVIA"Where did you find my mother?"I ask Shawn."I went to Starbucks after I dropped Kyle off at school and I found her there. She was in some sort of meeting. I thought she knew about you and Tay, I'm sorry warm"Shawn apologizes. "It's okay. I knew she would blow up when she finds out"I say truthfully. "But that doesn't give her the right to treat you like that. She is supposed to be on my side for heaven's sake! I wonder where our mother went wrong with us, with Grace. She is so bitter, cruel, and treats people like trash. It's like she has never been poor at all. She wiped those memories off her brain and became arrogant. I don't know how to help her anymore, it's like she has multiple personalities. One minute she is the Grace I grew up with, the other she is the mother Olivia has longed for and the other she is this bitter arrogant witch everyone hates.I have run out of ideas, no one can help her anymore. She pushed everyone away and one day when she wakes up from the littl

    OLIVIAMy body sets itself on fire as the familiar sensation runs down my spine. Every time we kiss it's like we are kissing for the first time. I will never get tired of his kisses, they are like a drug and no matter how much I put myself into rehab I always find myself into his arms. I wrap my hands around his neck and pull him closer. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist without breaking the kiss. He walks us back and my back hits the wall. His hands are now on my bare thighs, balancing my weight. He doesn't need to do much work, just a touch on my skin and I melt to him. I tuck the roots of his hair, and he moans against my lips. He slides his tongue in."Tell me you love me," he demands, his eyes dark with lust. His forehead on mine. "You know how I feel about you, "I say, my chest going up and down."I need to hear you say it, please say it" he pleads."I'm yours, I love you "I tell him, and he wastes no time molding our lips together. His hands move up my thighs

Do you want something else for breakfast? I can make something real quick " I shake my head no."I'm not hungry" I half-lie. "Okay" I hand him the bowl as he clears the counter."Nate, you are doing the dishes, "Tay announces."What! why me?" he whines and crosses his arms over his chest."Because you are the youngest” Tay reasons and I zone out. If I want to find the truth, I have to follow him when he leaves. It's the only way to catch him right-handed and to tell him what I think about his cheating ass.I can't believe I thought we would work. What was I thinking? I am stupid, I should have stayed alone. If only I had locked my heart away maybe this would have never happened. How could I be so naïve? I had so much hope in us. I thought what we had was special even though we had our imperfections.

    TAY8 years later.I massage my forehead as Jordan keeps talking, I have been in this meeting for an hour now and all I want is for it to end and catch a break. Running a company is no joke and I still have no fucking idea why I didn’t hire a CEO and stay at home.“The hotel in Limpopo needs….” A phone rings interrupts Jordan. “I said no fucking phones in the board room!”“Sir, it’s yours.” One speaks.“Oh,” I clear my throat and answer my phone.“Yes?”“Can I speak to Mr.Tay Payne?” a feminine voice requests.“Speaking.”“This is the principle; your son was involved in a fight. I would like to discuss his behaviour with you.”“I will be there in 30 minutes.” I hang up.“Let me know what decision you guys reach, I have somewhere to be.” I grab my car keys and walk out.Noah has been acting out lately and I don’t know what to do with him or what he is going through, is his adolescence stage at 8 years or what. Olivia babies him too much and I think that made him like this. Ten min

    TAYTwo days have passed by as a blur and Olivia hasn't woken up, but I have a feeling she will soon. I have spent most of my time with the twins. Nate is back and now we are just waiting for Olivia to wake up. Everyone loves the twins, and I couldn't be any happier."She will wake up man," a voice says, and I turn my head in Nate's direction and nod. I continue to rub my thumb on her hand."I know," I say and yawn. I haven't gotten any proper sleep for the past 2 days and now it is taking a toll on me."I am going to get something to eat, do you want something?" Nate asks."Just coffee," he nods and walks out. I place my head on the small space on the bed and soon sleep takes over.OLIVIAMy whole body hurts, that's the first thing I feel. I struggle to open my eyes but minutes later I manage to open them. I try to move up, but pain shoots me back down and I groan. I have no idea where I am, and I'm confused as hell. I look around the room and realization hit me that I am in a ho

    TAY7 months later.7 months have passed, and Olivia is still in a coma. I might be sad that she is still in a coma, but I am proud of her and her work. Her book has hit the top-selling books and she is on the list of bestselling author and now people in other countries know her and her series too. I just wish she would wake up and see the success of her books. Her fans are wishing her a good recovery and it still amazes me every time I read their messages. I have spent the last 3 months reading All roads lead to love for Olivia and playing audios of her to our twins hoping that they will at least hear their mother's voice.Nora and I went to get baby shopping for the twins a few weeks back since we got to know the gender. Joe is still not keen on me choosing all three of them to be saved and he doesn't talk to me much anymore. James has been monitoring Olivia for the past months and has warned us that something can go wrong anytime, and they would have to operate so we have to be re

    NATE5 months later,I have always been the relaxed one in the family and now was the time to make everyone smile. Ever since sister-in-law has been in a coma, I haven't seen Tay smile or laugh. 5 months have passed, and my brother looks like a living zombie. If he isn't in the hospital, he is drowning himself in work and I am afraid he will go back to his old self if sister-in-law doesn't wake up. Even though I miss her smile, I miss messing with her too."Where the hell are you taking me?" Tay groans as I continue to drag him."It's a surprise," I say and open the door to the spare room."Surprise!" Andrew, Future, Rachel, and little Eric who doesn't even have a clue what is going on cheer."What's going on?" Tay asks, looking around the empty room and six buckets of paint on the floor."We thought it would be fun if we painted a room for the twins. Since we don't know the genders yet, we bought white," I explained and waited."Of course, if you don't want—" he cuts off my ram

    TAY1 month later.One month has passed and nothing has changed. Olivia is still the same, in a coma. She is not showing yet and I have spent every day with her, day in and night. Sometimes I forget what day it is. I have tried everything I have read online to try to get her to wake up, but nothing worked so far. James said she will wake up when she is ready which frustrates me because I am longing for that beautiful smile of hers. One month without her feels like a nightmare straight from a movie. All I do is shower and come back to the hospital. Our house in Cape Town is busy getting built and I know she will be happy with it when she wakes up.Nate got an apartment with Rachel a few days ago. As much as I wanted to be happy for him, my mind is somewhere else. Andrew and Future are also doing well, and Eric is turning out to be a good boy. Nora is a mess like me. She also spends most of her days here with me. Olivia is like a daughter to her, and she is afraid of losing her like s

    TAYEverything in me felt like it was burning, like my insides were burning at the sight of Olivia's unconscious body in my arms. I don't even know if she is unconscious or dead. "Tay let the paramedics help her?" a voice says but it sounds too far away. The only thing in my mind right now is Olivia. I don't know how long I have been holding her, I just don't want her to slip out of my hands. It feels like the moment she does I will never see her again and that scares the shit out of me."Come, brother," two arms grab me, and Olivia gets taken away from me."She is in safe hands," a voice says, and we walk out of the building. I get at the back of the ambulance with Olivia and paramedics."Female, she looks like she is in her early twenties, one gunshot to the torso, and lost a lot of blood," a guy tells someone at the other side of the phone, and I continue to hold Olivia's hand. "Yes, she is in critical condition," the guy keeps talking and I try my best not to snap at him. I

    OLIVIA"Open your eyes little one," Chad says to my face but I keep my eyes closed. He is a psychopath. How can he kill someone so easily! I have never in my life seen anyone die in front of me and what I just witnessed was pure horror! I don't know if I will ever get the image out of my mind."Open your eyes, Olivia?" I shake my head no while tears stream down my cheekbones. I am scared to open my eyes because then it will all be true that he killed David. A part of me hopes that it is all in my mind, that he didn't just put a bullet in David's skull right in front of my eyes. I feel a gun on my head and my breath hitches in my throat."Open your fucking eyes, Olivia?""Please don't shoot me!" I beg, my eyes still closed."I won't if you open your eyes," I slowly open my eyes to face the monster of every child's dream. David's body on the floor with blood around him. I feel like puking."Good girl!" He tucks my hair behind my ear."If only you returned my love for you, none of

    OLIVIA"You fucked up my life," David says in my face."Because of your existence and the ability to attract men ruined my life!" He yells in anger at my face, and I flinch."I didn't ruin your life you psycho," I yell back with a pounding heart."You don't know how much I want to strangle you to death, but I was ordered not to touch a single hair on your body. The luck you have!" He chuckles and my heart sinks."You were ordered!"“By Chad?”“By his dick. Idiot.”Chad or Silas whatever the fuck his name is walks in."W... what the hell is this?" I demand and glare at him."I am going to tell you a story," he grabs a chair at the corner and sets it in front of me and sits down."There was this boy who loved his mother so much that he would do anything to see a smile on her face. He didn't have a father, you know why?" He looks at me."No, why?" I am not sure if I want to know the answer."Because he killed his own father. His father was a monster who used to beat the crap

    TAYThe last time I was this scared was when I found my sister in her own pool of blood. I haven't said a word since I found the phone and blood on the floor. Many scenarios are running in my mind, and I don't know which one could be it, but what I am most scared about is Kyle. He is just a kid, innocent and now he is in the hands of a psychopath. I know Olivia is strong."How the hell did David escape? And how am I hearing this now?" I called one of the trusted cops and made sure the media was left out of it, and it turns out David escaped. He made the police believe that he was seriously sick, and they took him to the hospital yesterday where he escaped."We were going to tell you,” The detective I learned is Jessica's friend says. Shawn hasn't stopped pacing. He is trying to be strong, but I know he is hurting."Your negligence caused Kyle, a kid who has a heart problem and my wife to get kidnapped," I yell and grab the bottle of water from the coffee table and take a huge gul
