RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME — TAYLOR SWIFT If our love died young I can't bear witness
1998 THREE YEARS AFTER
OLIVIA MONTEZ WAS known as many things. To some, she was a sister, a daughter, and a friend. To others, she was a singer, songwriter, and Grammy nominee. But at the end of the day when she looked in the mirror, tired eyes staring back at her, all she saw was young girl who lost too much too soon.
A part of her died that day in July. Whether it was before or after her car accident, she didn't know. All she knew was that she woke up in the hospital three days later, thinking that all of her misfortune was a dream. That she was in a coma and her friends hadn't actually died. That Luke, Reggie, and Alex would surround her bedside and tease her for being a bad driver.
The weeks following her accident were the darkest of her life. Everyone in her life was concerned for her well-being. She tried to put up a good front for Mikey's sake, but even he knew that his sister would never be the same.
There was a flame in her soul that was snuffed out by the death of the people who started it.
She was a shell of the girl she once was. She refused to enter the garage. She refused to touch an instrument. She barely ate. She barely spoke. The only time she left her room was to go to the Pattersons' house for lunch once a week.
Bobby tried his best to be there for her, but he couldn't handle her falling apart. Every time he tried to make her eat or urged her to leave her room, his temper would rise at her resistance. It's not what their friends would've wanted for her and he couldn't stand to watch her deteriorate into nothing. Why should she get to fall apart when he lost them too?
Eventually, he stopped coming around the house as often. Every day visits turned into every other day, and every other day turned into every other week.
He took his time away to process his own grief without having to look after Olivia and threw himself into what he knew best: distracting himself.
After the death of their bandmates, Sunset Curve's name had blown up in the music industry. Media publications requested interviews with the remaining members and their music started playing more on the local radio stations.
Olivia didn't want to acknowledge their fame founded in tragedy, but Bobby had no problems with it. It was a distraction of the highest degree.
It took three months for Olivia to show any emotion besides grief.
She was sitting at her open bedroom window when she saw Bobby slip into the garage. She didn't think much of it until he walked out carrying all of his belongings.
