1387/5000 I promise the entries are important. Hope you enjoy the chapter. Any guesses on what you think her dad is doing in town?
Lucas' P.O.V. I headed out of the car back towards her building, knowing she'd be out of class soon. I should have asked what class she was in so I could have waited for her outside her door. Too late now. I hung around the entrance of the building waiting for her to emerge. My hands were deep in pockets and I was lightly kicking around a small rock between my feet. I miss playing soccer. I need to find a community team to join again. I haven't played since Ivy died. She was always at my games, cheering me on from the sidelines. "I hope you weren't too awfully bored waiting on me." Her voice made me look away from the small rock. "Your journals kept me entertained." I winked at her. "Can't wait to see what happened to Ian." She flushed pink with embarrassment. I loved seeing her cheeks turn that beautiful shade of crimson. She looked almost mortified. "Oh God, your already there?" She cringed. "Sure am." I nodded with a playful smirk. "I'm wondering if maybe I should have sta
Olive's P.O.V. Lucas' story was sadder than even mine. I knew he didn't like his father and I knew that he had abused his mother, but I had no idea that he had abused Lucas too. I couldn't believe the way his father is using Lisa to control him. I need to find a way to help them both. This isn't right, and he shouldn't be able to get away with this kind of shit. Lucas and I couldn't keep our hands off each other after he asked me to be his girlfriend. He took me to his apartment, that was closer than my flat. We had a quick round of the most passionate sex before he brought me back here for my next class. Although, my mind was riddled with him, his story, and the feel of him on me less than an hour ago now. I heard the way he spoke about Ivy and it hurt my heart to know he had lost someone he was so madly in love with. I'm not so insecure that I would compare myself to a dead woman. I do, however, hope that one day he will talk about me with just as much love. The way he described
Lucas' P.O.V. I decided to play my music this time before I pulled off campus. I wanted her to hear the artist I loved to listen to when I was trying to hype myself up. I played my Marshmello playlist, allowing his songs to play at random. Surprisingly, Rose knew some of them already, which only made me smile more as I drummed along on my steering away. "Rescue me," she sang at the right time. "When I found you, I found me." I sang with her. This song really felt like our song. She rescued me, and according to her I rescued her too. It's not exactly a romantic song, but it feels right for us. "Good to know we were both feeling upbeat music today," Rose said as we pulled into my parking garage. "I guess it just goes to show how happy we both are feeling," I responded, keeping my eyes on the road until we parked. "Lucas?" She called me, making me meet her eyes instantly. She bit her lip nervously, driving my curiosity up. I can never tell what she's going to say or ask when she's
Olive's P.O.V. I sat here half naked now. All I had on was my skirt, and my bra that I'm sure I'll be losing in just a minute. Sometimes I just want to slap myself for the ideas I come up with, but Lucas seems to be having fun, so I can't be too mad at myself. "Bra please." He winked at me as he finished another work task. I see now why he puts off work for so long. It is very boring. I can't imagine having to read so many contracts and important papers daily, being careful not to let anything slide through the cracks. The smallest mistake could cost him a lot of money. I unclasped my bra, feeling my boobs bounce as I released them from their shackles. Lucas' eyes hungrily took them in. His gaze and cool breath alone were making my center dampen. I wouldn't be surprised to find a wet spot on his lap if I stood up right now. "I think you're enjoying this too much," I teased him. "I think you are too," he responded, biting my earlobe for a second. Another excruciating long few min
Olive's P.O.V. It would seem that Lucas had done too good of a job distracting me this weekend, and today, that I all but forgot I was waiting to hear back from the doctor. You would think it would be the most prevalent thing on my mind. Do I have cancer? Yet somehow amongst the eventful and drama filled weekend I had forgotten all about it. Lucas seemed to notice that I had stopped moving. He approached me almost cautiously. "What's the matter?" He asked. "I missed a call from my doctor," I said with a shaky voice. "Call her back!" Lucas' eyes widened in worry. He wanted answers too. I decided to place it on speaker phone when I was placed on hold by the nice receptionist. The hold music somehow made me more nervous. I feel it should have the opposite effect. I chewed at my nail as I waited for her to pick up. Lucas seemed nervous too, only he was deadly still. All his nerves had rooted him to one spot, and frozen him stiff. "Hello, Ms. Brewer?" I heard my doctor's familiar voic
Olive's P.O.V. Lisa was curled into a ball on the floor in front of Lucas' door. She held her knees to her chest with her head down between them."Lisa?" Lucas called to her, making her look up, showing her busted lip and bruised face.Something bad had happened, and the sight of her made me feel like I was 8 again helping mom clean up her wounds. I froze as I stared at her, Lucas did the same. He moved faster than I did, grabbing Lisa quickly, opening his door, and helping her inside. She limped, showing me she must have hurt her ankle or perhaps her leg.It took me a whole minute to convince my legs to move again. I took a slow, heavy step towards his apartment, feeling the trauma rise in me. I swallowed the thick emotion that felt like it was chocking me. I pushed forward, finally making it inside and closing the door behind me. Lucas had a first aid kit out, tending to Lisa's wounds already. His face was serious with his teeth clenched in anger. His nostrils flared, and his jaw t
Lucas' P.O.V. I had to tell him that we would wait to celebrate Rose's good news until the weekend. With everything that's going on now, we could use a little down time. I know Rose hadn't texted Hailey about yet either, so this is fine. I'll celebrate with Rose, just us two tonight. I watched Lisa leave with Rachel and Leo down the hall. I know Rachel can bring Lisa out her darkness better than I can. Lisa and I understand each other's pain too well to help cheer each other up. We're always there for one another, supporting and encouraging each other, but we suck at getting the other one to be happy. It's like we just end up wallowing in our sadness together instead. "Is she going to be okay?" Rose asked me, appearing beside me at the door. She peeked her head out, waving back at Lisa, who waved at her from the elevator. "I hope so." I need to be more mindful of her. She's always had terrible taste in men, but none of them had ever hit her before. Leo and I decided we'd pay him
Olive's P.O.V. Lucas drove me to school and even walked me to my class, giving me one last kiss before I entered. I missed him already, which only made me feel like a love sick teen again. I remember feeling this giddy when Julius and I first started dating, but it's different with Lucas. Like everything else, it's more intense with him. The feelings he brings out of me are almost overwhelming. I've never had anyone do this to me before, except maybe Ian. Even then it was different. Ian was the first person to be kind to me. He showed me what real friendship could look like. I haven't spoken to him in so long. Not since he moved away. We lost touch even though we swore we wouldn't. He never replied to me like he promised he would when I wrote. I never bothered to look him up. There's no reason to, he clearly didn't want to be my friend anymore. Class went by fast thankfully, nothing too strenuous. I hurriedly made my way to the Campus Commons to meet up with Hailey. I spotted her be
