(( Muscly Shawn on the side --->))

Olivia's POV

The way he kissed me was something I would never forget. Shawn's lips molded into mine with so much passion and love. The way he skimmed my jawline with his fingertips as he cupped my face and tilted his head to deepen his kiss. It seemed like longing. Like he's wanted to do this for so long. My back hit the closed door behind me as he pressed his body against mine. I could feel his abs perfectly against my clothed skin. His teeth grazed against my lower lip as he pulled it into his mouth and I let out a small whine.

But just as quick as that kiss had started...it ended. It felt like forever but in reality was only a minute or two.

Shawn stood back giving me some space and breathing heavily trying to catch his breathe. My eyes scanned over his face and all I could see was love. Pure love. His eyes were locked on mine and they were wide and blown from our little moment.

I didn't know what to think. What do I say to someone who I've treated like a brother? Who shows up at my doorstep and divulges his love for me?

"I-..." I tried to find something to say but my brain wouldn't work something out and I ended up closing my mouth again.

"I Love you, Olivia." Shawn whispered again and pressed a kiss to my cheek before pulling back and turning around.

"Wait.." Reaching out I grabbed his arm and gasped. His skin was hot. Really hot. Shawn shrugged me off and walks off to his car leaving me there looking shocked as ever.

What. The. Frick. Just. Happened.

I stood there for another second or two before someone's else's name came into mind.

Taylor.

I quickly fixed my hair and took a deep breathe before opening the door and walking inside, joining Tay at the table.

"Who was it?" He asked curiously.

Should I tell him? Maybe I shouldn't. Yeah...

"Oh um...probably just some neighborhood kid ding-dong-ditching or something." I replied hoping he bought. He simply shrugged and pushed the plate of pancakes in front of me.

"Now about you not eating..." I bit my lip and looked down at my fingers.

"Liv you have to eat."

"I know but..." I looked at the melting butter, "...do you realize how many calories are in that?" I asked pointing to the butter.

Taylor took my hand across the table.

"Olivia Grayson. You are by far the most beautiful, smart, sweet, loving, caring, strong, and perfect girl I have ever met. You didn't need to change."

Was it true? Was I really someone he wanted me to be? No. He must be lying. I couldn't believe it. I didn't believe it. 

"I'm not perfect...and I'm not strong." I whispered, twirling my fingers. 

"Yes you are Liv. You are perfect and stronger than you think you are."

I simply shrugged not knowing how to reply.

A second later Taylor was pulling me out of my seat and sitting down himself in it, pulling me onto his lap as he did. He took hold of my chin and made me look him in the eyes.

"We are gonna sit here until you finish your plate. I don't care how long it takes but we are not leaving until this plate is empty. Understood?" A didn't know what to say so I simply nodded. 

"Now I'm gonna feed you these pancakes and I want you to keep your eyes on me not what your eating." I bit my lip and nodded looking up into his pretty brown eyes. 

And that is how I had breakfast, sitting on Taylor's lap having him feed me and trying not to think how many calories I was consuming. 

After I was done I stood up straight and placed my hands over my stomach. It felt so wrong and gross. I could just see how much weight I must be gaining about now. The thoughts made me sick to my stomach and I felt like puking. 

Just as I was about to rush to the bathroom, I felt Taylor's strong arms curl around my waist. 

"Tay.."

"Shh." Taylor whispered in my ear and placed a hand over my mouth while the other was rubbing circles across my stomach.

"Think happy thoughts. Puppies, Kittens, whatever floats your boat, and you'll be fine." So I did as he said and thought about my 18th birthday party 3 years ago. It seemed like such simple times back then. I had felt happy, surrounded by my friends and people who loved me.  I had a real smile on my face, not a fake one, and my eyes weren't red from crying. 

After a few minutes Taylor let go and I felt a lot better.

"Thanks." I said and he grinned.

"No problem Liv. From now on you will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner and you will finish all of it so I know you'll be okay." I had barely gotten through breakfast. What made Tay think I could finish and keep down 3 meals a day.

"What would you like to do today?" He asked. 

"Don't you have somewhere to be or anything? Not that I don't enjoy your company."

"Its Sunday and I'm off work so I have the whole day to spend with you...If you want."

Something crossed my mind just then. Shawn. I was so worried about eating I almost forgot about out little moment earlier. I needed to go see him. To make sure he was okay...

"I hate to say, but I have a doctors appointment today so maybe stop by later today at 5?" I asked and he nodded. 

"Stay Safe Olivia." Tay kissed my temple and left.

I took a deep breathe and grabbed my phone, searching through my contacts for Shawn's number.  I sent him a quick text before I sat down and waited for a reply.

O: Can we talk? 

...

...

...

...

S: Of course, I owe you that much..I'll come by in a few.

O: Okay, Thanks Shawn.

S: No problem

Setting my phone down I took a deep breathe. Was this really happening? Just last week I had no one and here I was with Taylor and Shawn and Cameron...

I clutched my heart locket that Cam had given me.

Taylor, Yes.

Shawn, Maybe.

But Cameron?
