For Us: American Dreamers

Chapter 22: Goodbye Olivia Logan (2)

  Orleston's graveyard.

     Olivia is standing in front of Ramon's grave and holds a flower in her hands as she looks at the engraved name of her former boyfriend. "I haven't been here for months and it feels weird actually being back, but you have been a huge part of me and I had to see you one last time..." she says to him and closes her eyes as she takes one big breath.

   Olivia's apartment.
Yesterday...

    George is helping her pack the last stuff and they don't really talk about something. Truth is that they are going to miss each other like crazy and after what happened to Roy along with Spencer arriving and finally the break up of Olivia's and Julian's left them feeling like talking is not going to do enough. Olivia goes to her bedroom and grabs some of the pictures she had on her wall. The first time she moved to the small town she now loves, the Halloween party she danced with Noah and countless other firsts and lasts in Orleston. A tear drops from her right eye and she thinks about how grateful she feels deep down for her time in this town.

   George walks inside the room to inform her that he packed the last box and to ask her if she needs something else. "I can stay more if you want...My shift starts in two hours so I have plenty of time!" the young man says but she is certain she can handle the rest by herself. "Thanks for the help...I appreciate it." She says to him before he departs and the wave at each other as her friend steps outside. Afterwards she closes the door and looks at her apartment that is now filled with nothing but boxes full of her stuff.

   Town's Park.
In the meantime...

   Anastasia is waiting for Cameron to show up since he texted her to hangout but he is late and nowhere in sight. "Men...I can't believe they say that we are the ones who are always late!" She whispers to herself and then the tall boy jumps in front of her, scaring her to death. "Ha gotcha!" Cameron teases her and she lightly punches him on his arm.

  Then he asks her to follow him and holds her hand to guide her to a place he picked for them to lay and talk but also with a surprise waiting the young girl. Once they arrive, Cameron reveals to her, something that he wanted to give to the girl that everyone knows, he likes...

   "Oh my God...Cameron that's a-" a shocked Anastasia is interrupted by her friend before he concludes for her.

   "A puppy...You talked to me about wanting a dog during my mother's funeral and well, I wanted to give you something special because truth is, no one has ever been there for me like you were..." Cameron explains and holds her hand as they lay their backs on a tree while he informs her that maybe it's time to give the puppy a name.

  "How about Kylie?" Anastasia points out and the young boy reminds her that the puppy is a he.

  "Shelton then...I don't know why but that's the name I get when I look at him...I think he is going to become quite tall right?" the cheerleader adds as she looks at Shelton, something that Cameron agrees with her and she asks him something...

   "Let's take him for a walk tomorrow, alright?" She says cheerfully and with a big smile, Cameron nearly doesn't recognize her, remembering the girl he met at the party months ago. He seems troubled but hides it and nods positively on the deal about the walk.

  Hospital.
An hour later...

    Meanwhile, Hayley arrives at Roy's room and walks closer to him, she has been secretly coming there for the past week since his parents blame her for what happened. She looks at him and holds his hand and she whispers...

   "It's all my fault...I'm so sorry. Please wake up!" and she starts crying before she hears his mother arriving to the room and walks away to blend with the rest of the crowd so no one will recognize her. Then she receives a call from her brother who has been no where to be found for the past week. "Logan? Where the he'll have you been?" she asks him, curious since her father has disappeared too...
