OliviaI wake up to a light kiss on my temple and I smile knowing very well that it's Tay."Hey," I say and open my eyes. He has a towel wrapped around his waist and using another one to dry his hair."Feeling better?" he asks and I nod. I push myself up."What time is it?" I ask and tuck my hair behind my ear."7 pm" he informs and I gasp. I slept the whole day."How is Future? Did you find Andrew?"I ask quickly. "She is okay, don't worry," he says and pulls his sweat pants up his legs. He slips in a long white sleeve t-shirt."Wash your face and come downstairs. I made dinner" he informs, kisses my forehead, and walks out. I sigh and roll off the bed. Now I can relax that Future is okay. She frightened us. For a moment there I thought she wasn't going to make it. I brush my teeth and rinse after. I wash my face and dry pat it. I pull my hair into a messy bun and walk out.Nate and Tay are seated around the counter with a glass of wine each. A small white bowl with lasagna in it.
OliviaTwo weeks and four days passed as a blur. Future is now back at home. First, she was so mad at Andrew that he had to sleep in another room for a few days until she forgave him. When Tay asked him why he left he said that he needed time to think and that he didn't mean to take that long. I also had an appointment with James and everything is fine. Just had to take prenatal vitamins everyday. We also found the gender of our baby and we are having a baby boy. Another boy in the Payne family. Nate has been...Nate. Him and Rachel seem to be on good terms since she is coming to my father's place tomorrow for Christmas lunch. He also kicked Andrew and Future out because the baby is stealing his sleep at night. They didn't even have a problem since they were also planning to move. Tay was against it and I had to convince him that it's time to move on. Andrew has a family now and they want to raise their child in their home.Nate still refuses to make peace with Shawn and I pray he does
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
OliviaI wake up earlier than usual and turn to find Tay's side empty after I spent last night waiting up until 3 am.I know I must tell him, but I don't know how to. I sigh and roll off the bed and walk to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and take a bath after. I dress up in jeans and a grey shirt with a jacket and walk out. My phone rings beside the bed and I walk to it. I look at the screen and it reads James.“Hello?” I answer the phone as I sit on the bed.“Hey, I didn't think you would answer since you didn't respond to my messages.” He says.“I was busy .” a half-lie.“Okay, there is someone I want you to meet regarding your condition” he informs.“Who?” “Let's meet at the coffee shop next to the book store, the one thirty minutes from your house?” he requests.“ I don't think it's a good idea, James. It's Christmas today” I haven't told Tay about the situation and he finds out I met up with James he will be beyond furious. “It won't take more than an hour, I promise.” I bite
TAYI have never been so fucking scared in my entire life, it felt like my world was ending right in front of my eyes. My heart pounding like never before, as I run in the heavy rain trying to get to Olivia. Time seems to stand still, then go on, then pause. My soul feels like it’s on fire, burning my body in the most painful ways I could ever imagine. She can't leave me, she just can't. Smoke is coming out on the front of the car when I finally reach her and open the driver's seat. Her head is rested on the airbag, and there is no seat belt around her. Blood cascades her forehead."Fuck!" I curse and lift her head and push her back against the seat. There is blood between her legs, and I pad her face."Love wake up, please." I cry out, but she doesn't wake up or show any movement. I try again and she continues to stay still. I can feel tears running down my cheeks, and I let them flow. I'm not ready to be without her and I'm not willing to."Oh my God!" a voice says, and I turn m
TAY"What do you think lead Grace to kill herself?" Nate asks after a while. Joe hasn't come back since he took Nora to be checked. "Did you know that Olivia was raped?" he continues to ask, but I don't have the energy to answer his questions right now. "The woman I love with all my soul is on an operation table fighting for her life Nate! Your questions are the last thing I want to answer right now!" I snap without meaning to."I'm sorry." Nate says softly making me feel guilty. I ran my hand over my face in frustration."Look, I didn't mean to snap at you like that." I pat his shoulder and walk in the direction Joe went to.I knock on the white door and enter. Joe is seating on a hospital bed holding Nora's hand. "How is she doing?" I ask and close the door behind me."The nurse said she will be okay. It's just the shock of receiving bad news in less than 24 hours," he says, and I nod."Do you know the full story on what happened? I mean Grace?" I ask and take a seat opposite hi
TAY"What the fuck was that?" I shrug out Nate's grip. Joe might be Olivia's father, but he has no right to tell me to stay away from my own wife."Calm down," Andrew says and I glare at him. How can they expect me to calm down when I’m being forbidden to see my own wife?"Don't tell me to calm down!" I snap. I’m tired of people telling me what to do."We are not the enemies here Tay. We are just trying to help." Nate says gently pulling a plastic chair on the hallway of the hospital.I sigh and sit down, "I know." I run my hand over my hair. I look outside, and it's already dark and still raining. The paparazzi are still outside, and I fucking want to kill them. They don’t know what personal space means. "Do you think she will end things between us?" I ask my brothers the question that I’ve been avoiding in the back of my mind."Why would she end things? You are not guilty." Nate state."She can't blame you for something you had nothing to do with or had any control over." th
TAYA hand shakes me, and I groan opening my eyes. Jess has a mug in her hand, and I sit up on the couch. I massage my temples to get rid of the headache. "I made coffee" Jess says and places a black mug on the coffee table. "Thanks." I wrap my hands around the mug and bring it to my lips. "I know it's none of my business, but I think you should slow down with the drinking for a little while, Tay." I stop midway and look at her. "You are right, it's none of your business!" I snap and place the mug on the table. No longer in the mood for coffee. "Think about your health, you know what..." "You don't know a damn thing about my condition." sleeping here was a mistake. A big mistake. "I may not know anything about it, but I know mixing booze with your condition is deadly. You could die, Tay!" she is now screaming at me which a bit surprising. Jess has never raised her voice at me, not even once. "I feel like I am dead anyway. What is the point of living?" I say out loud and Jess g
