CHAPTER 15

Hello to my favorite people on earth.

here's a little something's for the new year.

OLIVIA'S P.O.V.

     Everything seems wrong these days. It's like everything I do just turn out wrong. Like my whole entire existence is wrong and this feeling only began to take place in mind the day after I told Taylor the truth and she began to act like I had never wronged her or I wasn't seeing her boyfriend behind her back.

The whole thing feels wrong. I've never known Taylor to be a violent person and that's why I took the courage to tell her. When she asked me that day why now? I didn't know why then too. The way she was getting snappy and the way her look to Ethan and I changed, I figured she was coming around to knowing the truth.

She was getting more attentive to her surroundings which she wasn't before and that's why it was easier for Ethan and I to keep our secret safe for so long but for some unknown reason, she was suddenly becoming attentive and I don't know why, I figured telling her myself would make everything better.

And probably give me less headache but instead her attitude towards my revelation is even bringing me more headache. Yes I'm grateful to her for even bringing up the fact that I could participate in that event but if she was doing this without knowing the truth, I'd be less worried but this whole attitude was getting me worried and so I've decided to tell Ethan about this. I think he deserves to know.

I haven't told him before because I know that Taylor wouldn't have the mind to confront him and I don't want to lose him. Not yet. Very selfish of me, I know but it is the only happiness I am getting right now. Guilty pleasure you can call it if you will. Yeah it was meant to be a mistake but can one call something so beautiful and good mistake? No. I love him and I hate myself that I'm doing this to Taylor after being there for me all this time but I can't stop myself, it's my only pleasure that I can indulge myself into. So wrong but feels so right.

I call Ethan immediately with my unease.

"Oli." He says immediately he picks up and somehow the name almost makes me smile and forget about the stuff going on with Taylor. A name I once hated but came to love after that one night.

"Ethan." I say and I realize that I sound almost breathless making me clear my throat immediately. He somehow had that effect on me.

"Don't have time for this Olivia. Right now, I'm kind of busy." He says and from the way he uses my full name I know he's extremely busy but this is important now.

"I need to tell you something and it's very important. I need you to meet me at our regular spot." I tell him biting my lips waiting for his response.

"Can't you just tell me on the phone right now? If this is about wanting to see me, you'll see me in school. I told you I don't have time for this." He says his tone almost shifting to a harsh tone which makes me frown.

"This isn't a joke Ethan. We need to talk and we need to do it now. It's very important. I'll be waiting for you there." I say and hang up the phone sighing. It's the first time I have actually hung the phone on him and I never really hated how he just took me for the girl that was there to warm his bed whenever he felt like but somehow the tone he used on me just now made me angry.

I wear a decent clothe and head downstairs to where I see my mom and Joanna busy chatting in the kitchen making lunch. The sight makes me angrier. What's with everyone trying to make my life a living hell right now?

I didn't have time for them today as I turned to the door to get my jacket, I wasn't going to let them ruin my mood any more than it was already ruined.

As I take my jacket, a voice stops me from finishing the task and the voice belongs to no one other than Joanna, the family snatcher. Of course, it's like after telling Taylor the truth, Karma was throwing all sorts of evil my way. You want keep them coming, you think I deserve it, don't you? Keep them coming then.

"You're going somewhere?" she asks making me turn to her to give her a glare.

"I thought the student body president was supposed to be smart. When someone's holding their jacket by the door coming from their room what does it mean the person wants to do, genius?" I ask feeling irritated

"A simple yes would suffice." She says sending me a glare of her own, "And where are you going?"

"Who do you think you are to question me about where I'm going?!" I ask her.

"She's your older sister Olivia!" My mum says as she steps out of the kitchen making me scoff in unbelief.

I hate seeing both of them together. It reminds me of what I had with my dad and mom before the family snatcher came from wherever pit of hell she was in to ruin my family. My dad left me here and went feeling betrayed once he found out that his wife had another child with someone else. And he was my favorite so I hate them because they remind me of what they took from me.

"Older sister? Please, I have no older sister. And I'm going out. Where that out is, is none of your concern?" I say and turn to leave.

"I made lunch Olivia." Mum says, "Why don't you stay and eat, please?" she says in a plea voice but I'm less concerned about that.

"Then eat lunch with our favorite daughter. I'm out." Say and step out not before I hear her calling my name back.

I head to the secret motel Ethan and I always met and as usual made sure no one followed me. Once I get there, I ask for the key to the room we use and head inside to wait for Ethan.

Not long after I settle down on the bed, does Ethan walk inside. He looks like he rushed to get here and the thought he rushes to get somewhere to meet me, even though it's because I told him it was something important, makes me smile.

"Hey." He greets me once he's in but it's obvious his mind is not even on me but on his phone that his eyes is glued to. Then like he remembered that he hadn't taken precaution in asking me if I had been careful in coming here he immediately looks up and asks, "You weren't followed or seen, were you?"

I scoff at his question as I remember the reason why we even started asking that question in the first place. Taylor was close to catching us one time and she didn't even know it but now she did know and her catching us was the least of his problem and I tell him exactly that.

"Yeah that doesn't really matter right now." I say and his eyes show confusion trying to understand and process the meaning of my words before they suddenly turn hard.

"What do you mean by that?" he asks with a hard tone.

"I mean exactly what I said. It's the least of our worries right now." I pause then I continue, "I told Taylor about us." I say after deciding that it's better to just lay it out there and let me react.

He goes rigid like a wall after I talk then slowly still in denial about hearing what I aid he comes to stand in front of me with a clam expression, "What did you just say?"

"You heard what I said Ethan. I told Taylor about us."

"The fuck!" he shouts and raises me up from the bed with force glaring into my eyes, "Are you freaking crazy?! Why the hell would you that? That isn't what we decided. We decided we'll tell her when I was ready."

I forcefully released myself from his painful grip and take a step back as I don't know what to expect from him, "I had to!" I say defending myself.

"You had to? What the fuck do you mean you had to?!" he says taking a dangerous step closer to me in ager.

"She was suspecting. Didn't you notice she was getting cranky all of a sudden, she was beginning to get attentive to conversations Ethan?"

"And you told her hoping to get into her good graces first didn't you?" he asks and scoffs, "Of course you'd do that. You're such a selfish bitch. Thinking only about yourself."

"Don't you dare turn this on me" I say giving him a glare of my own, "You think I wanted to tell her? You think I want to stand here arguing with you in this room when there are better thing to do?"

Ethan rubs his hair in annoyance as he stalks away from me cursing at every step he takes but then he suddenly stops and turns to me like he just realizes something, "If your plan was to get in her good graces. You wouldn't be telling me this. Things didn't go according to your plan, did they?"

"I did not plan to get into anyone's good graces, okay? And yes I'm telling you now because there's a lot of worse things happening right now than my fear of losing you if I told you I told Taylor."

"What happened? What did she do?" he asks he returns back to my front assessing me carefully as he's busy trying to calculate how he can fix this damage in his favor, wanting to know what exactly had been out of place so he can fix it.

"Nothing!" I say raising my hands in frustration, "That's the problem, she hasn't done anything. In fact she's done the exact opposite of what a sane person would do. I've told her since the day before the game poster came out but she..."

"Pause." He says shocked, his eyes wide opened like saucers, "The day before he game posters came out? What the hell?! She's been rooting for us?!"

"Yes, I know and that's what is crazy. Taylor isn't the type of person to be violent but Dawn is and I'm sure Dawn knows and I don't know what Dawn has manipulated Taylor to do right now."

"Shit! Shit!" he says pacing around, "This is bad! Very bad! Not now, dammit!" he says.

"This is no time to be pacing around Ethan. We have to find a solution to our mess."

Something in my statement makes him immediately stop pacing and give me a hard glare, "Our mess?" he says with a dry chuckle, "No, no. This isn't our mess. It's yours and you're going to fix this."

"Are you delusional? I'm not just the one who betrayed her Ethan, we both did. I don't see how this is my mess alone. You need to go meet her and find out what she's up to. Find a way not to make her destroy our lives by listening to Dawn." I say giving him a straight look.

My statement is followed by a laugh, "I'll meet her of course but like I said it's your mess, you fix it. While I'll go meet my girlfriend and make sure she doesn't ruin my life but yours she can do whatever she see fit."

"You must be joking." I say shocked from his stamen, "We're in this together Ethan. You can't throw me under the bus."

"In this together? You should have thought of that before going to meet her on your own. So close to when Dawn can have the opportunity to ruin our lives. There's no we anymore Olivia." He says drawing my name with disdain, "It's just me now and my girlfriend Taylor. I'm not losing my girlfriend and future because your conscience decided to grow a pair." He says and walks out banging the door of the room leaving me shocked.

I might have known that he would want to end us but not that he'd be this selfish. I collapse on the chair scared shitless because I didn't have anybody who could tell me what was going on.
