TAYI walk back to the house with a heavy heart. I want to go back to Olivia, convince her that we are better together than apart. I can't lose her, not when I just got her back. If I could go back I would change what I did to her. She is like a tattoo tattooed on my heart. I know, I don't deserve her but I can't stop loving her. She is the best thing that has happened to me. I'm not proud of my past, hell there are some things I wish I could change. I would do anything for her to stay with me. I turn the doorknob and walk in. Shawn is sitting in the lounge watching soccer. He turns his head at my arrival."Has Nora calmed down?"I ask as I sit on the opposite couch."I don't think so. She is throwing her frustration on the poor clothes. She is doing laundry" I nod."What are you guys going to do with Grace?"I ask Shawn."Admit her into rehab. If we try to heal her ourselves we won't get anywhere" he says and leans against the couch."How is Olivia?" he asks, calmly. "Not good, I'm a

OLIVIA"What's going on here?" the security guard asks, as he looks between the three of us. He is in a black uniform and a black cap. "It was just a misunderstanding sir, nothing happened, "Tay says and the old woman glares at him. We have gained an audience now."What happened is that these two have no manners. It's clear that their parents didn't teach them manners," she tells the security guard and grabs her bag on the floor."Nothing happened here, so can we leave?"Tay snaps at the security guard. He doesn't wait for his answer and grabs my arm leading me to the passenger seat. He opens the door and guides me in. He walks around and gets in the driver's seat. He pulls away from the lot and drives home. His knuckles turn white as he drives. He places his hand on my thigh and we drive in silence. "I'm sorry," I say as he pulls into the house's driveway. He turns to look at me. "Why are you apologizing?" he tucks my hair behind my ear. "If I didn't provoke you, we wouldn't hav

OLIVIAWe watch as they drag my mother's unconscious body to the van. If Tay wasn't here, I don't know what I would have done. His presents seem to calm me down. Life is not fair, that's what I learned anyway. Not everyone has a blissful childhood. I grew up with everything, but my life will always have that empty spot in my heart. The reason I hold on now is because of Tay. He is all I got, all I need. He makes me feel like I can't live without him. Nora is crying and dad is hugging her. Trying to offer some sort of comfort. I look for Shawn but I don't see him anywhere. After a while, Dad walks to the van and talks to the man who drugged mom. Tay leads me to the couch and we sit down. No one says anything and I rest my head on his shoulder, his thumb is moving up and down on my skin. Dad comes back and sits on the couch next to Nora. "You can visit her whenever you want, "Dad says looking at me and I nod. He runs his hand over his hair and looks at Nora. He whispers something in h

TAY"Hello, can you hear me?" the voice sounds so far away. The only person going through my mind is Nate. I can't seem to talk but I have so many questions in my head. The phone gets ripped away from me."Hello, what happened?"Olivia's panicked voice rings in my head."Okay, we are on our way. Which hospital?""Thank you""Tay, we have to go" she shakes my shoulders but I'm still in shock. I can't lose my brother, I can't lose another sibling. He is my brother, my best friend. "I can't lose him Olivia"I finally snap out of it and look at the only one that makes me calm down. Those beautiful gray eyes."You won't lose him, Okay?" she cups my cheeks and wipe the tears that are on my cheeks with her thumbs, and I nod."We have to go''She takes my hand and we walk out. Olivia grabs my car keys on the kitchen counter and we run outside to the car. She gets in the driver's seat and I get in the passenger seat. She reverses out of the house's driveway and hits the highway. I dial Andrew's

OLIVIA"I'm sorry. I guess the jealousy got the better of me," I play with my fingers, ashamed to look at him in the eyes. I don't know where the jealousy is coming from honestly. I don't know why she makes me feel so insecure . "Look..." he grabs my hands and I look at him."You have nothing to worry about. Emily and I are over. I realized I didn't love her, I just enjoyed being with her. With you it's different, it's like I can't breathe until you are with me. I feel like a battery that has gone flat when you are far away from me. Do you understand how much you consume my body, my thoughts, my soul? You are the one for me. Our love is forever, and no one is going to stop us." he pecks my lips and rests my forehead against mine. I close my eyes as my body ignites at the feeling of his cold lips. My hands are gripping on his t-shirt and his hands are on my waist. I wish we could stay like this with no drama, just the silence around us. It feels so peaceful. I feel his hand run over
