don't blame me

xi, all star.

act one, chapter eleven. all star.

olive was doing everything in her might to move on.

it had been three weeks since the blue bats won mcc.

"livie, i think you should head down to brighton for a bit," carmen rubbed the girl's shoulder. she left her room now, so progress! "visit some family for halloween."

"i don't even have a costume, though," olive mumbled. "and all of my cousins are like — ten."

"so? take them trick or treating," carmen desperately wanted olive to get out of the house. she loved her daughter, but moping around was not the way to get over it. "they haven't seen you in so long, livie."

olive trilled her lips. "to spirit halloween i go."

"to spirit halloween you go," carmen watched proudly as the raven haired girl put her shoes on and marched out the door with a jacket. "this kid is gonna be the death of me."

olive walked tiredly into the halloween store. she got plenty of sleep now, but it was still making up from before. she was getting better, and that's what mattered.

the fall by lovejoy began playing in olive's airpods. she hummed along as she walked along the costume aisles. halloween was in three days, there wasn't much left.

"what to be, what to be ..." olive asked herself. her fingertips touched the end of every costume.

marley, olive's cousin, was by far the best relative ever. despite the two year age difference and the three hour train ride, they still talked at least every week.
