Olivia was slowly coming to her senses. She tried to sit up and opened her eyes, but she couldn't. She noticed Drake coming towards her to help her sit on the bed.

“What happened to me?” Olivia asked in confusion.

He explained, “You went into shock, which caused you to blackout.”

“Am I in the emergency room?” She inquired.

“Yes.”

“Okay.” Olivia tried to get up to attend the rest of the lecture, but Drake stopped her.

“Olivia, you have already missed one lecture, and with only one more to go, you might as well take a break and explain what the hell happened back there.”

Olivia was hesitant to follow his request, but she knew she needed to tell someone. Drake and Jiggy were the only people who knew the whole truth about her, which is why she felt so at ease with them. Olivia told him everything from the moment she stepped into Rosewood until now.

“I still can't believe it.” Drake couldn't say anything.

“I don't blame Sia and Mason for being upset. For the past three years, I hav

    Olivia was walking down the road, lost in her thoughts, when a car pulled up beside her, causing her to shriek. When she looked to her side, she saw Caleb sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at her with soft eyes. “Olivia, get in the car.” He told her softly, although it was no less than an order. “No, thank you; I am fine walking.” She told him sternly as she continued down the road. “Stop being stubborn and get in the car. We are going to the same place, so it's pointless to go separately.” He stated the obvious. “Look, Caleb. What you are trying to do is unnecessary; Okay! And as it is, I am not going to your house.” She stated. “Wait! What do you mean? Where are you going?” He questioned, puzzled and intrigued. “For work.” Olivia's words astounded him. She took his words seriously. “I will drop you off there.” “I am not going to get high if that's what you are looking for.” She snapped at him. “I didn't mean in that way. Come on, Livy. Get in the car. I am going to drop

    Olivia's last week was fairly calm. Caleb has become more approachable. And she, too, was coming in terms of having her best friends back in her life. It also relieved Drake that Olivia's life was finally getting back on track. Olivia was eating breakfast with the Knights when Caleb reached for her and asked for a favour. “Can I tag along with you? My car is gone for servicing.” She was, however, taken aback. She never imagined the day would come when Caleb would ask for her help. “Um, sure.” “You are not a bad driver,” Caleb said as they drove to school. “Thank you.” “So, if you don’t mind, may I ask you a question?” He asked her nervously. “Yes.” “Is something going on between you and Prof. Drake? It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I mean, even if something is going on, I wouldn’t tell anyone about it.” Olivia laughed as a result of Caleb’s words. It’s absurd to think she and Drake could ever be a couple. “Nothing is going on between us. But I am not sure why you would

    Olivia's life had been going surprisingly well for the past month. After the incident with Jenna discovering Drake's true identity, the entire school was aware of it, and fortunately, people accepted his true identity. In fact, Olivia was now able to pull Drake's leg openly. Surely girls were pretty disappointed to learn that Drake is gay and happily committed to his fiancé. Yes, Jiggy said yes when he proposed to him. Sia still couldn't get over the fact that their English professor wasn't straight, which she couldn't blame her for, because it was difficult for her to accept as well. But in the end, everyone was happy except one. Stella Jason has been gone for four years. She still refuses to accept the truth. How can she? Even after all these years, she loves him. He was the one, and she knew it. She was unable to move on even after four years. She knew he would want her to be happy, but how could she be? God snatched him away from her before they could even begin their story. Ste

    Caleb was watching television when Olivia arrived home from school. He stopped her as she was about to go upstairs. “How is Stella doing now?” He questioned her, but out of curiosity. Olivia was well aware of what he was actually trying to do. He was looking for information about Stella so he could give her a few words for ditching his best friends. Although their bonding has grown over the last month, it is still far from friendship. “She is all right now.” She stated this. “What happened to her?” He asked her further. “Jenna just said something to her. Nothing to be concerned about.” She explained it to him calmly. He was about to ask another question when Olivia lost her cool and snapped at him. “Caleb, just stop. Okay! I know what you are trying to do. I am sorry that I had to ditch you guys, but I will do it again if Stella or Zack needs me.” “Is everything okay here?” Eliana arrived. “Yes, Eliana. Caleb was just wondering why I was late.” Olivia lied to her. “Oh, okay. W

    Olivia has been doing much better in the two weeks since her breakdown. Although she suspected Caleb was aware of it because she wasn’t used to his concerned stares. When Sia and Mason asked why she had abandoned them, she gave the same reason she had given to Caleb. She kept a good balance between Mason, Sia, Caleb and Stella, and Zack during these two weeks. She wanted to yell at Jenna, but all three of them knew it would be pointless. Stella was doing better than before. Today, Olivia wanted to talk to Zack about Caleb. Yesterday, Caleb was again fussing about Zack’s cold behaviour. So she went to Zack’s locker, and Stella accompanied her. “Hey Olivia, you want to talk to me about something?” Zack asked her. “Yes, what’s the deal with you and Caleb?” She questioned him. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” “Stop pretending, Zack. Even I know what Olivia is talking about.” Stella told him. “Look, I am sorry. It’s just...” He continued after taking a deep breath. “When

    “Are you ready, Olivia?” Eliana asked her, peeking from the door. “I am, Eliana.” She addressed her godmother. Eliana was taken aback when she saw Olivia dressed as she was. “Olivia, what are you wearing? It's a party, that to your high school party. It is not a casual hangout with your friends.” “I know, Eliana. It's just I don't want to dress up, and this is comfortable.” She tried to explain it to her. Eliana sighed and dragged Olivia up to a mirror. “Olivia, take a look at yourself; is this you? Real Olivia would have worn this in your school last year of your high school party?” Olivia looked in the mirror as a result of this. What she saw was not a familiar face looking at her but rather the polar opposite of her. Her previous self would never have worn this to a party, with black jeans and a simple plain top. No accessories, just a lot of makeup to hide her true face. Instead of boots or heels, wear sneakers. “I am not looking to draw attention to myself. As it is, I am

    “Is there going to be some kind of performance?” Olivia inquired, pointing to the stage in front of her, decked out with musical instruments. “Olivia, how could you possibly forget? Don't you remember the annual inter-school band competition?” Sia exclaimed. How could Olivia have forgotten about the annual band competition? This competition features various schools competing for the title. The best of best bands take part in it. It has been a tradition at the school. The band who will be taking part in the competition will perform at this party. Unfortunately, her school never won this competition, but it never stopped them from trying again and again. She cast a glance at Stella and Zack as she reflected on the competition. It also reminded her of someone from her previous school. She sighed and gulped down the entire glass of coke in one gulp. “Take it easy, their girl.” Mason patted her on the back. Caleb noticed a difference in her behaviour. “I really hope our school wins t

    Olivia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and sang, but not for herself. The theme of the song is slow and melodic. (Olivia) I can't presume To know what you think I can't assume How you feel. I can’t begin to think What you might have gone through But do know that I am here Always for you. Zack comes forward towards the stage, joining Olivia, which makes her open her eyes.

    “Caleb, will you do it faster? For once in life, put your muscles to some good use.” Olivia shouted at him angrily while walking behind him with a huge cardboard box in her hand. “I am trying, Olivia. Boxes are apparently not that light. Little help from you would be very nice.” He glared at her. “Remind me again why did I agree with your idea of living together?” She crossed her arm. “Because it is easier to stay with each other as we will be going to the same college.” He rolled his eyes. “Just for convenience, right? Take this box also with you.” With that, Olivia placed the same box filled with their belongings above the box that Caleb was already carrying. “Oomph!! Really Livy. Aren’t you bossy?” He told her, still carried both the boxes and kept them safely near the couch of their new home. Olivia only shrugged at his response. “I already told you that old Olivia is difficult to handle.” “But I love her all the same.” He winked at her. “Don’t you now?” She came closer to

    It was the day before the New Year, and the Knights were hard at work preparing for the New Year’s Eve party. After a few hours of work, they decided to take a break. While everyone was sitting on the couch munching on snacks, Olivia was sitting on the porch in the garden area, lost in her own thoughts. “Why are you causing yourself and Caleb pain, Olivia?” Eliana came to sit with her. “What do you mean?” Olivia asked her godmother. “Look at this picture.” Eliana showed her the photo of whose story she had told Caleb about. “Is this...” “Yes, it’s you and Caleb.” She narrated the same story to Olivia that she had told her son a few days ago. “Olivia, this is life. Ups and downs are part and parcel of it, but you shouldn't stop living it because you are scared of taking risks.” “I don't want to burden Caleb with my problems, Eliana. Maybe I am not right for him.” “That's Caleb's decision to make, don't you think? Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and you will have all your an

    After a little confession by Mason and Sia, both of them went home. Presently, Caleb and Olivia were sitting on the bed in Olivia's room; both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Caleb was rubbing her palm with his fingers. “I am glad that both of them finally got together,” Olivia said out of the blue. “Me too. Jason missed it, didn't he?” He looked at her. “Blame him for having a sleepover at Zach's place today.” Olivia rolled her eyes. After two minutes of silence, Olivia took a deep breath and finally told him what she had wanted to tell him for the past few weeks. “Caleb, thank you for everything that you have done for me.” “Olivia, don't thank me. I did what I had to do. “I don't see you upset or dealing with unwanted emotions or negative vibes.” He told her. “Why?” She asked him softly, looking at his eyes. “The same reason you saved Carson and me by taking your own life.” He told her. “It's not the same, Caleb.” She looked down. “Please explain to me how it's not

    One month had passed, each and every day seemed to be easier than before. Jason and Olivia’s relationship was also working out just fine. Jason moved back to Knight’s place. Both had been catching up with each other’s lives, and there had been many moments where both of them broke down, but being together only made them strong and their bond stronger. Jason finally met his little brother, Cameron, who is a miniature version of him. Although at present, not only Olivia, but even Jason, is against the idea of telling their brother the truth. With time, yes. But not now. Now is not the right time. Steadily and gradually, Olivia was getting back to her normal self. Maybe not completely, but something is better than nothing, right? Olivia was sitting in Caleb’s room along with Mason and Sia when Caleb came in with the movie DVDs. “So, which movie do you guys want to watch?” he asked them while placing the DVDs on the bed. “Umm, how about the Avengers?” Mason suggested. “Cool,” Caleb s

    Everyone was surprised yet ecstatic to find Olivia downstairs. None of them knew how Caleb managed to do the deed, but they were glad because, whatever he did, it had some positive effect on Olivia. Even though their goddaughter didn't say much, it was a step forward. Olivia was smiling a bit more. It was not a full-fledged smile, but nonetheless, it was a smile. She stopped being cooped up in her room, although she still refused to talk to anyone other than her godparents and Caleb. But she did talk to Carson and Claudia a bit as they were both staying back at the Knight's mansion again until Claudia gave birth to her child. During these two days, Olivia had settled into the Knights' home. She missed her friends, especially Jason, but she was terrified of meeting him. She feared him disappearing again. It was easier to stay away, but she knew that she would have to face him at some time or another. But what she didn't realize was that it would be so soon. Olivia was in her peacefu

    Caleb opened his eyes, only to find Olivia sleeping peacefully beside him, her head on his chest and one of her hands holding his stomach. He gently removed a few strands of her hair that were falling into her eyes. There had always been something about her that had attracted him. He still can’t believe that Olivia went through so much in the past. At present, Caleb wanted to do nothing but help Olivia in every way he could. His thoughts were interrupted when his dad came into the room and signaled him to come downstairs. Reluctantly, he followed his father’s commands and found his parents sitting in the dining room. “Morning, mom and dad.” “Morning, Caleb. How did you and Olivia sleep?” His mother gently asked him. “Slept just fine. Olivia squirmed a little in the middle of the night, but everything was fine.” He gave a long sigh. “Caleb, give it some time. Everything will return to normal.” His dad tried to reassure him, but he cut him off. “Will it, dad? You don't

    Caleb was sitting in a chair beside Olivia, where she was sleeping peacefully in a hospital bed. So much has happened in the last few hours that it was difficult to take it all in at once. When Livy shot herself, not only Caleb and Carson but even Dominic was shocked by her action. But luck was on their side. Just like in movies, the police choose a perfect time to show up with Jiggy and William. While police officers arrested Dominic and his troop, others rushed Olivia to the hospital, and immediately, William made it his own duty to treat Olivia. Both the brothers were shocked to learn that Jason had finally gained consciousness from coma during the operation. But unfortunately, his condition was still weak, so he couldn't come to the hospital. It's difficult to imagine Jason' situation. Instead of being surrounded by his family, he was awake only to find his sister missing, let alone in a case where she was herself in the middle of a situation of life and death. Fortunately, d

    Olivia was struggling with the ropes. She was furious after she learned the truth and wanted to get out of this hell hole as soon as possible. When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a dark, locked room. After a few minutes of yelling and screaming, a few guards and her dearest uncle arrived. The hatred in his eyes was evident. She could not believe that her very own uncle had destroyed her family. He not only tried to violate Jason for vengeance, but he also successfully killed her parents. The way he spoke about them radiated pure envy and animosity towards them. Olivia realized somewhere along the way that Dominic was hurt that he was an unwanted child of her grandfather before he was married. But she also knew that her grandfather and grandmother would never love him pretentiously. Olivia’s father also loved him all the same and never mistreated him. So Olivia refused to believe that he was not loved. Olivia tried to tell him that. But in return, she earned a hard

    Olivia was following Dominic in her car. An hour passed, but still, his car didn't stop. She was being as discrete as possible. Olivia was desperate for answers, and she wanted to catch him red-handed. Olivia wanted revenge; she knew she was impulsive, but she wasn't thinking straight. She should have formed a plan or something, but she was going through her gut feelings. Even if she could not get any revenge on him, it would be fine as long as he gave her answers. Dominic is a dangerous man to deal with, and she knows that by now. After following him around for ninety minutes, she landed herself in a quiet alley. It was the same area that was a shortcut to Knight's home. The very same area she took when she was returning to her temporary home when she visited her brother, Cameron. But the strange thing was, his alley was not ninety minutes away from school. It was hardly half an hour away, yet Dominic’s car took so long to reach. Olivia felt uneasy in the pit of her stomach, but s
