Chapter 1
Olivia:
I walked to his house smiling. It was a sunny day. The birds were singing the sky was clear and it was warm, for September at least. I twirled the ring that Grant had gotten me around my finger. It was for our one year anniversary. We had been together for one whole year, no on and off thing. He was the love of my life. My life was perfect right now. My best friend Kendra and I were closer then we had ever been. She had a boyfriend who I wasn’t too fond of, considering we hated each other. But we did everything together! Double dates every weekend! Drive to the beach in the summer. Everything! My parents were great! They let me do anything I wanted. They loved Grant too.
And today, well was my birthday. I turned seventeen. I wonder what Grant has planned. Maybe a party? A romantic picnic under the stars? Maybe we would take our relationship to the next level. Maybe I was ready. I sighed and grinned up at the evening sun. My heart thudded in my chest as I thought of it. I remember talking to Kendra about Grant and me. Her and Zane (her annoying boyfriend) were a cute couple but she had talked about maybe breaking up with him when Grant I were having a rough match a couple months ago, but never did. She just seemed distant these past couple days. It was strange. I had known her all my life but she wouldn’t open up to me, just telling me it was nothing. It was funny, when we were freshman in high school we fought over Grant. He was the famous football player that every girl had a crush on. We told each other dreams we had had of him and which hair-do we thought would make him look like Zac Efron. Those were the good old days. But when Grant asked me to homecoming my junior year Kendra never said anything about him after that.
A couple months later she met Zane. He was a new student. One look at him told me he was going to be trouble and trouble he was!
He was sent to the principal’s office the first day of school for talking back to a teacher. I had told Kendra that he wasn’t a good idea but she said that she really liked him so I never said anything again. I was one house away from Grant’s when someone hit my shoulder.
“Ow!” I complained and jumped away from the person. “Zane!” I yelled, narrowing my eyes.
He smirked with his dark blue eyes looking black under his brown bangs. His brown hair looked messy, the way guys wore their hair now. He was also wearing his favorite black leather jacket. It was annoying to see him wearing it everyday!
“Well, it’s good to see you too, Princess!”
I glared deeply at him. He called me that because I hated it! I wasn’t a cheerleader or a popular girl but he didn’t care.
“What are you doing here?” I growled.
He grinned.
“Going to see my girlfriend. She wanted to talk to me. Is that OK, Olivia?” he asked, pointing to Kendra’s house next to Grant’s. They had been neighbors for two years now.
“You better not hurt my best friend, Zane, or else you’re dead meat.” I said, staring him down. That made him grin even more - if that’s possible.
“No problem princess!” he slapped my shoulder in a brotherly affection.
“Ass,” I muttered and moved past him and onto Grant’s porch.
I put on a smile for Grant and knocked on the door. It swung open and Grant looked like a God wearing faded jeans and a white t shirt. His blonde hai
r was slicked to the side and his brown eyes smiled with his lips. Before he could say anymore I reached up and pulled his lips to mine. He tasted of Spearmint. He pulled me in as we kissed and shut the door with his foot. Our tongues twirled together and he pulled back.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, frowning.
His eyes looked sad but I didn’t understand. “Nothing, it’s just….don’t want to get too carried away.”
I smiled.
“You’re right,” I leaned up and touched my lips to his ear. “We always have later….” I heard him swallow and I smiled as I looked back at him.
“I made supper.” he said, in a hoarse voice. I grinned.
“Come on!”
We ate in silence, across from each other. His parents were out for the weekend, like always, so we had the house to ourselves, well, besides the maid who was cleaning up stairs. His parents were rich, he got what he wanted. He looked a little nervous and I just grinned to myself. Finally, Grant put his fork down and looked up at me.
“Um, Olivia can we go into the living room to talk?”
I frowned but wiped my mouth and stood up. We walked into the big living room and he sat down on the couch first. I sat down and looked at him, a little worried.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He looked away from my eyes and took my hand.
“Ollie,” he said looking up at me using my nickname. My heart gave a quick thud. I loved it when he called me that! It was so cute! “You know we have been dating for a year now.”
I nodded and smiled.
“And I’ve loved every minute of it!” Why did this conversation seem bad?
“Yes, I did too,” he said nodding.
“But,”
“But what?” I asked quickly. He looked at me his eyes sad.
“Ollie, I think it’s time to break up.”
Zane:
Kendra had called me and asked if I could come over. Her sister was at work. I smirked to myself. We always made out on the couch or in her bed when her sister was at work. Of course, I wanted more but Kendra didn’t want to so I never pushed. She was a great girlfriend but sometimes I think we got along too much. And she was always talking about herself. I guess that’s what I get for dating a cheerleader. I walked down the street to her house which isn’t far from my own. I would have taken my car, but the last time I did that, Kendra’s sister came in and practically screamed her head off when she found me in Kendra’s closer hiding. So now, if she comes home early I can hide without her finding out I was even there. Kendra’s sister doesn’t like me very much. Don’t know why. I’m an awesome guy! Before I can even think, I hit someone.
She jumped and looked at me; Olivia’s green eyes sparkling in the sun.
“Zane!” she yelled, already not looking pleased.
See, what I didn’t like about Olivia is that for some reason she despises me. I mean every girl loves me! But I can’t woo her, which is probably why I’m so attracted to her. She has a great ass too!
“Well, it’s good to see you too, Princess!” I said, with a smirk. I gave her that name because she hates it! I love pissing her off! It’s become a hobby. She glared at me, her blonde hair falling in ringlets around her face, which looked kind of sexy. Kendra might be my girlfriend but I can look and flirt as much as I want. I just can’t touch.
“What are you doing here?” she growled. She was wearing dark jeans with a light blue top on. She looked pretty hot. I pointed to Kendra’s house next to Grant’s.
“Going to see my girlfriend. She wanted to talk to me. Is that ok, Olivia?”
“You better not hurt my best friend Zane or else you’re dead meat.” she threatened. I grinned again showing her I was amused. She and Kendra were pretty close.
“No problem, princess!” I slapped her shoulder like I would my guy friends. She was pretty tall for a girl so I didn’t have to reach down or anything. She rolled her eyes.
“Ass,” I heard her muttered. I smirked as she turned to leave. I watched her butt swing and I bit at my lip. Nah, Kendra’s better, I thought and walked up the steps to Kendra’s. I knocked twice before she opened. She was wearing a short skirt and a low cut t shirt. She smiled her black hair long and straight.
“Ah, already dressed for the occasion,” I said, looking her over. I walked in and shut the door. I grabbed her waist as she smirked. I pulled her against me and kissed her. She seemed distracted as I put my hand under her shirt wanting to get it off a little.
“Zane,” she said and pulled back.
I looked at her.
“Um, actually I wanted to talk to you about something.”
I frowned.
“OK? But can it wait till after I’m done?” I asked kissing her neck.
She breathed in a breath and shook her head pulling me away from her.
“Come on.”
“Oh yeah, the couch is much better!” I said, as she guided me to the couch.
“No, no. We need to talk.”
I looked into her eyes and suddenly I got worried.
“What’s this about Kendra?” I demanded.
She sat down in a white chair and looked up at me.
“Zane, I really like you…..but….” she looked down and pushed back her hair.
Great. I think I know where she is going with this…
“I’m breaking up with you.”
Damn, I hate those words!
Chapter 2
Olivia:
I can't remember what happened next. I recall throwing the ring he had given me …slapping him and screaming at him at the fact that he had decided to break up with me on my birthday….well… I think I'm aware exactly what happened. The tiny bastard just shrugged! I stormed out of the house, rage engraved on my face. I have to talk to my best friend! Tears were already forming in my eyes as I stomped my feet over the front porch of her house. Before I could do anything the door flew open revealing Zane. His face was red and his blue eyes were blazing. He went past me and I frowned.
"Zane!" Kendra yelled, but stopped when she saw me. She looked like chaos.
"Oh Kendra!" I whispered.
She looked within my eyes and her face became saddened.
"He broke up with me," I choked out. She embraced me but didn't look surprised. I cried on her shoulder. "I-I-I don't know what I did wrong.”
I choked. She rubbed my back not, saying one word. I mean, I was thinking we had been really in love. What changed his mind? I wiped my nose and Kendra retracted. Her face was guilty.
"Oll, listen," she looked away, her eyes glistening over.
“What?” I asked.
She looked up at me.
“Grant broke up with you because….because he and I wanted to be together.”
I was speechless. My mouth wouldn’t move and my legs were jelly.
“Ollie?” she asked looking concerned.
I looked past her. How long have they liked each other? How long had he been cheating on me? I know she didn’t say it….but now I realize. He was always going home early. Getting off work late….not coming over on Friday nights when Kendra’s sister was out….it all makes sense.
“Olivia?” Kendra whispered. “I’m so, so, so sorry. It just happened! I didn’t mean to hurt you. It….it’s complicated.”
My hands bawled into fist at my sides.
“Ollie?” she asked. I turned on the step and walked down the stairs. “Olivia!” she called.
I ignored her and started running down the sidewalk. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I finally had run to my favorite place. It had been overgrow with vines and trash but my swing set was still there. Vines grew up along it and rust fell off if you touched it. Two swings were all that was left of the swing set. Beside it, were a slide and a wooden seesaw. I opened up the gate and walked in. I sat down in my swing and rocked back and forth; the breeze blowing my hair back.
“Oh…sorry,” I looked up to the corner of the park and saw Zane coming in. I stared at him for a whil
e and he looked up. Something turned in my stomach but I ignored it. Instead I gasped.
“Doesn’t matter. I’ve already lost all my dignity,” I said, wiping my eyes on the back of my hand.
He smirked but still his eyes weren’t happy.
“You can come in. I don’t care,” I said, and started back up, swinging lightly. He climbed up the steps on the slide and sat down at the top. “You know it’s not safe up there?” I said, not really caring.
He looked down at me with a smug look.
“Doesn’t matter now, does it?”
I looked away from his eyes and down to the ground. “Grant broke up with me.” I whispered, not sure if he heard me.
Zane sighed.
“Kendra broke up with me.”
I glanced up at him. He was looking at the darkening sky with a sad look. Wow, that was the first time I actually saw him without a grin or smug look. It actually made me sad to see him like that. Ugh! Get some backbone, girl! He doesn’t care how you’re feeling.
“I might hate you but I don’t have anyone else to talk to.” I said, quietly. I could see him nod. “What makes me feel even more pathetic is that he and Kendra were seeing each other for, hell, I don’t know how long.” I said, with a cold laugh.
Zane looked down at me; his eyes wide, his teeth clenched.
“Bitch!” he yelled.
I flinched slightly.
“She didn’t tell you?” I asked, stopping my swing.
He looked back down at me.
“No! She told me she was breaking up with me. But freaking hell, she didn’t tell me she was with Grant! Bitch!” he yelled again. I smirked.
“She didn’t say but….now I remember all the times Grant cancelled….because he was seeing her.” Zane looked at me actually looking kind.
“Yeah, I see it too. She would kick me out early on Friday’s saying her sister was coming home…..but then she would call later that night and say her sister didn’t come home till midnight….I can’t believe she would do that!” he looked disgusted. “I mean no offense but I look so much better then Grant!”
