Yes I was currently headed to his house.
I wanted answers and I wanted them now.
Oof that sounded so cringy but it's true.
I needed to know why he had cut me off like that.
I also maybe sort of want to kiss him again.
Nope not happening Liv.
The afternoon sun beats down on me as I walk fast, I don't run though.
I hate running.
Cora is with Landon today, they're at his parents fancy pants lunch thingy.
I forgot what she called it.
Alex's parents worked today as well and as I get closer and closer to the house I prayed he isn't at the park.
My prayers are answered when I head inside and up the stairs.
His door is open and he's sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Alex I need to talk to you." I say straight forward.
He slowly closes his book and stands up from the bed.
"Treehouse?" He asks and I shake my head.
"I have a question, and all I need you to do is answer it honestly." I say and he nods.
I take a deep breath.
Just rip the metaphorical band-aid off Olivia.
"What happened two years ago?" I ask and his brows furrow.
"What are you talking about?"
I roll my eyes, "You know what I'm talking about. One minute we were ok and then the next you hated me, then we were ok again. I am just confused."
He sighs, "It doesn't matter."
"Does too." Oh gosh I sound like a five year old.
"Just leave it the fuck alone." He says getting irritated.
I shake my head, refusing to let it go.
"Tell me." I demand.
He narrows his eyes at me to drop it but to heck with that.
"Alexander I swear to god-"
"Because I fucking loved the way you looked at me and I hated it. I hated the way you could make me feel because I knew one day you would realize you deserved better. That just like everyone else in my miserable fucking life you would eventually abandon me. Everyone else I could handle but you, fuck, Liv I wouldn't have survived it. I knew I had to cut you off because I couldn't wait for you to do it." He says his chest heaving up and down.
Something about his confession gets me all riling up.
"Are you serious?" I ask and he gives me a puzzled look.
