Chapter 11: "The blame game"
Olivia Summers
"Hey, Damon! let me down! Are you crazy?" I complained while punching his back. Damon adjusted his lift and replied, "Geez, can't you just stay still! For someone sick, you're energetic."
I continued to complain but then it hit me, what Damon said... how did he knew I was sick? I was quiet and so was he as he carried me back to his room. Damon tucked me in and said, "I'd take you back to your apartment but I doubt it's better than mine so here will have to do."
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Stay still." Damon said in a gentle tone as he placed his hand on my forehead, he sighed, "You are really sick."
"I thought you weren't going back until 4?"
"I wasn't supposed to." Damon continued, "I saw you weren't feeling better yesterday even if you probably didn't notice it yourself. You had a sli

Damon AshtonI started to button up my shirts as I saw the time. I told Olivia I'd be back first thing in the morning. The lady, whose name I never got and I'm not really interested in knowing lay naked beside me, she groaned, "Leaving so soon, love?""I'm not the type to stay."She rolled her eyes to the side and said, "Well, can you at least make me some breakfast before you go, I'd love some good soup. There's something at the counter you could use.""Sorry." I smirked, "I don't cook."Then without hesitation, I left her apartment room and never looked back. That's the second time someone asked me to cook soup. What is this? Some cruel reminder? But for some reason yesterday, I couldn't say no to Olivia. I actually made her soup.Ah, it's fine, she's probably regretting it now. I know I make terrible soups. I always wondered
The Only Exception Chapter 13: "Someone you like"
Olivia SummersCrap! This must be a dream!!! Dylan... Likes me?! I immediately texted back, "I have always liked you since I first saw you in television, there was this unusual spark that I felt. Suddenly meeting you after you disbanded surely is destiny and then now, you saying that you like me.... Is a miracle I have been wishing for!"But then, on top of it all, my long term babe replied, "Sorry but you have 0 balance to send this text."Crappp!!! Out of all the time, why must I run out of load right at this moment! Damn it! How unlucky! I should have worn that polka dot leggings for luck today! Anyways, I rushed to any store open at this hour but all the stores were close and at the convenience store, it was temporarily closed since the cashier is not yet there?!!Oh come on!I have no other option! I immediately went to Dylan's hotel but unfortunately it was locked. I kno
The Only Exception Chapter 14: "Save my heart"
Dylan Ashton Agh, why am I feeling like this? I don't know anymore. It hit me right back to reality that maybe, I haven't completely moved on with my life. I tried to sleep all these thoughts away as I listened to the soft humming of the birds outside that night.More than anything, I wouldn't want to hurt Olivia or anyone for that matter. I'm not like my dad and I'm definitely not like Damon.As I woke up the next day, I immediately took a bath, fixed myself and wore a casual combination of shirt and shorts- a typical summer look. I must say that sometimes, I miss having a stylist around but I didn't care much.I went inside the convenience store and brought some pasta along with a sweet mango float for my breakfast. I ate with my half-asleep mode, my mood every morning without Olivia.You know, without her craziness and everything, life gets... a little boring for me. I rubbed my hair and stated softl
The Only Exception Chapter 15: "Disconnected"
Olivia SummersI changed my clothes and went back inside my apartment... I grabbed my binoculars and stared at Dylan inside his room, he's still up and smiling at his phone... it's probably because of what happened earlier.Ah, why do I suddenly feel this way? It hurts. My heart hurts and I know it shouldn't because I should be happy he's happy but... I just can't help but think... can't it be me instead?How selfish of me.I sighed deeply.Suddenly my phone rang, it's an unknown number. I hesitated but I wasn't really in the right mind to overthink who it might be so I picked up with a gloomy voice, "Hello, who's this? Can you call me next time? I'm getting my heart broken here."I was about to end the call but I was taken aback by what the otehr end said to me."I can see that awful face you're making while stalking Dylan with your b
The Only Exception Chapter 16: "Make you stay"
Dylan Ashton After a few more hours of driving, we arrived at the orphanage, Olivia was still sleeping so I decided to wait a while before waking her up.Up close, I never noticed how long her eyelashes were nor how perfect her lips were. Ah, what am I thinking?I rested my chin on my hand as I observed Olivia sleeping- I do realize now that that sounds kind of weird.I chuckled softly as I saw her crinkle her nose a little bit as a speck of wildflower landed on it. I carefully removed it and gently waked her up, I said, "Olivia, we're here."She groaned, still refusing to open her eyes, "What?"Olivia even adjusted her seat to be more comfortable and that made me laugh, I said to her, "Wake up. We're already here.""Five more minutes." She protested, "Let me sleep for 5 more minutes."
The Only Exception Chapter 17: "Pity party"
Olivia SummersDylan looked at me speechless so I laughed it off and said, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.""No, it's fine but-""Ah, the air feels nice, don't it?" I smiled, "There's nothing like the fresh and warm summer air at the province. Am I right?"Dylan nodded. We finished out ice creams and grocery lists. As we walked our way back, it has been an awkward silence between us.Ah, why did I have to go and ruin the mood? I hate this. I've having a pity party and I'm screwing everything up. How would Dylan like me now? I'm just a mess.But then, my thoughts were cut off as he grabbed my arm and pulled me beside him, he stated, "You might get hit by a car, if you're beside me, then I could protect you.""In that case, you might get hit instead! I can't let that happen! I'll protect you!" I confidently said
The Only Exception Chapter 18: "Let me love you"
Olivia Summers After hours of sitting there admiring the stars, Aunt Lou came out and sat next to me, she said, "What are you doing here all alone? It's cold outside."I smiled, "It is but the view makes it all worth it.""At least bring a blanket." Aunt Lou pulled out one and wrapped me in it, she nagged like a mom, "You know you get colds easily.""It's summer." I replied, "No one gets cold in summer.""You do." Aunt Lou continued, "As a kid, you were always playing from dusk until dawn, you'd come back home with a cold but you'd smile like you do now and say that it was worth it because you had fun. You've always been naughty and silly."I laughed as I remembered those days, I said, "Yet you still love me.""Of course, you're my daughter."I flinched as I heard that. It wasn't the fi
The Only Exception Chapter 19: "Love of my life"
Olivia Summers After a few hours of drive, we arrived back, Damon offered to walk me back to my apartment with a smirk on his face, "Shall I walk you back to your apartment, love?""Cringey. You're really cringey." I mocked as I grabbed my bags, "You're not Dylan so no thanks."Then I walked straight ahead without looking back at him. My thoughts wander off to Dylan. Ah... I really want to call him. Before I stepped inside the building, I could hear Damon scoff as he teased, "You're not really gonna look back to say goodbye or change your mind?""No!" I responded while I continued to walk. I scoffed, "Stop hoping, casanova.""I still can't win you for now, huh?" Damon demanded, "Then if not as a girlfriend, I have other ways of pisisng you of. As my lovely servant, clean my room tomorrow, I have a very important guest coming. Come early and leave early, got that?""By guest, I
