The Only Exception のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

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

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

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." 

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

Olivia Summers I immediately went back to my apartment to get some stuff that I will be needing on my journey to Dylan. I packed my lucky patterned socks, some clothes just in case, etc. Some essentials like my scented candles that smells like Dylan- sunshines and raindbows, it smells heavenly, I cna't sleep without it. Of course, I brought some room sprays disinfectants because it's sanitary.As soon as I finished packing, I realized... I may have brought a little... too much? It's fine, I definitely need all of this things, right? Oh, who cares? I went straight to Damon's room, I took a deep breath and I knocked at Damon's door but there was no response. Ah crap. Should I... wait a little more longer? Do I make a fuss? What should I do for Damon to get the door?! I couldn't wait any longer because every minute counts for me to reach Dylan in wherever he is. So, I decided to open the door and declared as I cl
