I hope you guys liked Olive's talk with Hailey. Thank you for the comments and great reviews.
Lucas' P.O.V. "Is this the place?" Carter asked as we pulled up to a run down motel about 10 minutes away from Rose's flat. I had never seen this place before. It was as if we had crossed some kind of magical border that sent us to a different world, one of mischief and danger. Most of the buildings here were run down, with people loitering about. I couldn't help but feel more and more uneasy the further we had ventured in, but I had my sights set on confronting her father and I was gonna damn well do it. "Yeah, that's the place." I nodded staring up at the rusted railing on the second floor. Second floor room 13. That's where we'll find that sorry son of a bitch. "Let's go then," Davis commanded as he got down from the escalade he had demanded we take here. Carter and I hopped down, following closely behind. "This is your last chance, kid. What we're about to do isn't for the faint of heart. You could get yourself in a lot of trouble if we're caught," Davis reminded me, offering
Olive's P.O.V."He should have been here by now." Leo sighed, playing anxiously with his lip piercings.We had both tried calling him but hadn't received a response. There was no text or call back. Anytime we tried to call it went straight to voicemail. From there we started to worry."His phone is probably dead," I said, knowing that wasn't the case.I don't know what it is, but I have this sinking feeling in my stomach that something is wrong. I couldn't tell you what it is though, however, having Lucas not answering the phone was only making the feeling worse. My mind kept coming up with worse case scenarios to torture me further."Yeah probably," he sighed not convinced."What should we do? Want to try to see if anyone else has heard from him?" I asked, hoping he would say yes, because I don't have Lisa or Rachel's number."Shit." I heard Leo curse under his breath before he answered his phone. "Hello?" His voice sounded so scared, like he was bracing himself for the worst news. H
Olive's P.O.V. "I'm sorry, Rose. I wasn't being careful. My mind was a million miles away, and I just wanted to get home to you." His good hand began to rub my arm as he spoke. "You don't have anything to be sorry about. You didn't do anything wrong." I shook my head at him. "But I did." His words made me pause, stopping my movements, and my heart. "What do you mean?" "I went and saw your dad with Davis and Carter." He admitted. I sat up as best I could looking down at his wounded state. I couldn't be mad even if I wanted to be now. "I wanted him to leave so I offered to buy his silence, and make him leave without seeing you." He continued, making me upset at the fact that he tried to offer my dad money. "Keep going," I said, knowing there was probably more. "He came to town to tell you that he's having a baby with his girlfriend." He sighed. Dad is having another kid? I shook my head hysterically. This can't be happening! He can't have another kid. He can't! "Rose, that ba
Lucas' P.O.V. **Please, if you're willing, listen to Photograph by Cody Fry as you read.*" My Rose stayed here with me last night. She had slept beside me until they made her move. Stupid nurse. I couldn't believe she would willingly choose to sleep in a small cot like that rather than in a large bed. I want to tell her how I feel….how I really feel. I need her to know that she is everything to me. I need her to know, but I'm also scared I'll frighten her away. She can be so skittish at times. "What's wrong?" She asked, seeming shy. I didn't mean to worry her, but I need her to know I am being serious. "Come here," I said, patting the bed again. She slowly made her way towards me. "I'm here," she announced as she sat on the edge of the bed. I used my good hand to grab hers, holding it tight in case she tried to run away. "I need to tell you something, but you can't run away after," I said, smirking at her sweetly, but my heart was beating quickly. She gave me a small nod in und
Olive's P.O.V.It's been a week since Lucas' accident. A week since we both admitted how much we loved one another. I have been taking care of Lucas as he heals. He broke his dominant arm. Although it's adorable to watch him try to do things with his left hand, it's also sad. I end up helping him with a lot of things, which he both appreciates and doesn't like.He's a proud man like most and all he wants is to be better already so he doesn't have to depend on me so much. I have been staying at his apartment all week, but it was time for me to go back to my flat. I missed it, and I needed more clothes. Of course, Lucas tagged along. I didn't mind at all.You would think that we would have grown tired of one another after a whole week beside each other, but it was very much the opposite. We wanted more of one another, and the thought of being away from each other, killed us. I was happy to know that I wasn't the only one of us that felt this way."I'm almost done with your freshman year
Olive's P.O.V. Time seems to fly by when you're actually enjoying life. Halloween was this weekend already and Lucas and I will have been dating for a month now. I felt giddy thinking about it. Lucas and I have not spent a single night away from each other since his accident. We alternate between his apartment and my flat. We each have our own drawer, although I honestly have 2 drawers and a quarter of his closet at his place. "We have to match, Rose," Lucas argued with me over our Halloween costumes. "Do we really have to dress up? Aren't we too old for that?" "Take that back. We are never too old," he argued back, making me smile with his playful tone. "Please, Rose, dress up with me?" He gave me those eyes again, the ones that always seem to melt away my resolve. He was not playing fair. "Fine," I sighed. "But nothing that's going to have me half naked." "Never," he shook his head. His cast was finally due to be removed this Friday, just in time for Halloween. He was excited
Olive's P.O.V. Julius stood before me dressed as prince charming. As if. I felt his eyes roam my body, and I hated the fact that he knew what I looked like naked. Hated that he knew what I felt like from the inside. I should have known he'd be here. He likes going to these kinds of parties."Leave me alone, Julius.""Oh come on, Liv. You're all alone, just let me keep you company. I miss you." He tried to grab my hand, but I pulled it away."You wouldn't have to miss me if you wouldn't have cheated. How many times, and with how many people did you cheat?" I asked him the question that had been plaguing my mind since I found him deep inside Clover."Just once. Just that one time," he lied with confidence."You could tell me the truth, Julius. It's not like I'll ever take you back anyway.""It is the truth," he lied again, only making me angrier."Go away, Julius," I sighed."Come on, Liv. You shouldn't be alone here.""She's not alone." Lucas reemerged behind him.Julius took a step b
Olive's P.O.V. The question hung in the air for several minutes. I knew I needed to say something, but all coherent thoughts escaped me. My mind raced as it thought of what my answer should be. I love him, and he loves me. We laid ourselves bare for one another after his accident, but we've only been together about a month. That's too short a time to move in together isn't it? Yet, somehow I just wanted to blurt out yes. I mean we stay together every night anyway. What's the difference? "No," I started, and the hurt on his face killed me. "Move in with me instead. I don't want to lose my mom's flat as my home. Live here with me, where she wanted me to be." The joy that rekindled in his eyes made my heart swell. He propped himself on his elbows over me again, kissing me so deeply that he stole my breath away. He smiled down at me, a smile I had yet to see before. The happiness radiated off of us in waves. I know everyone will say it's way too early, but it feels right. We love each o
