Collide

Chapter 1

Olivia's POV

I've been sitting here replaying Layla and I's conversation from earlier. The audacity of this girl, who the hell does she think she is? Going off on me like that when it really should've been the other way around. Okay, so I kissed Spencer, and okay, I get why she's upset but...I didn't do anything! Did I tell him to kiss me? No! Did I say, "Tell me you love me Spencer" No! Those were HIS choices not mine. I didn't ask for him to kiss me or be in love with me, but he is. What did she really expect me to do in that moment? Like seriously. Let's review the facts here, shall we? First off, they were broken up when we kissed and yes, I had a boyfriend who was out of the country doing who knows what, but the fact is they weren't together. I'm in the wrong with Asher not Layla at the end of the day. I'm not proud of how things went down between us but let's just keep it all the way real...she knew what it was from the beginning.

How are you going to say how horrible of a friend I am when you went after the boy, I loved KNOWING how I felt about him? Like you knew! Yet you still pursued him and again, pushed my feelings to the left just like you did when I went to rehab and when I came back. What kind of best friend doesn't know how bad your addiction is? Make it make sense. If you hadn't gotten in the way, we wouldn't be in this position and you wouldn't feel so hurt. Do I feel bad about your feelings being compromised? I do but Spencer is the one she needs to direct her anger towards. He got with you knowing how he felt about me, he did that to you, not me. Do I regret kissing him? Hell no! "So, cares for me but loves you?" Yes Layla!!!! He cares for you but hes in love with me. Had I followed my heart and took my chance at Asher's party, we'd be together already. He cared for me while loving you, now it's your turn. Deal with it. Maybe it's the alcohol speaking, nah I only had a few sips before I saw her, so we are good. But no seriously, the more I think about this, the more angrier I become. I wasted three years catering to the feelings and whims of everyone except myself, hence why Spencer and I never had the chance to be together, but today, I'm done with that. No more games, no more hiding it, no more being afraid, I'm tired of being afraid to go after what I want. What I've always wanted. Tonight, that ends.

Meanwhile back in Crenshaw

"Yo Spence put a pep in your step, I told them I'd have everything cleaned and cleared out by ten"

"Damn Kia why I gotta be all that?" Spencer asked his ex-girlfriend. Though they are no longer together, they have a very close friendship and Kia's favorite past time is to make fun of him any chance she gets.

"Hey, I didn't make the rules I just follow them" Looking away from him shrugging her shoulders.

"Girl that's cold" He places his hand on his heart pretending to look hurt as she playfully rolls her eyes at him reaching for another chair to put up.

"How the world made me, now get back to work slow poke" Sticking her tongue out at him. He chuckled under his breath as he put another chair over his head. They continued to conversate and clear out the space until they heard a trickling of a door opening behind them.

"Damn, it's ten already?" Kia spoke to herself surprised at how fast the time went. Spencer took his phone taking a quick glance at the time. 9:45pm.

"It's not 10 yet we still have time"

"Then who?" They look at each other in slight confusion before turning their attention to the front door of the café. Kia's eyes are drawn to the familiar face turning the corner heading their way. Spencer follows her sight and instantly knows who came walking through the door. Spencer directs his attention to Olivia as she comes strolling towards them. She keeps her eyes only on Spencer as he gets closer until they are standing only a few feet apart from each other.
