I sat besides Darla's bed thanking God that I got there on time. All I could think about was Olivia. Though I don't know Darla personally, her current situation reminds me of Olivia's. She could've lost her life if I hadn't forgotten my wallet. She's young. She's about my daughters age, well has to be since they were in college together. I'm not really sure about what happened that ended their friendship but I know Darla can't be the same person she was back then. She wants better but is struggling just like Liv was. She needs love. She needs support. I am willing to give that to her.
A knock startled Billy. He looked up and saw Olivia. "Liv?" He was surprised that she came. He called her after he called the ambulance to let her know. "Dad.." she walked i slowly seeing her former friend laying in bed in the hospital bed. "What happened to her?" Olivia folded her arms. "She overdosed" he said. She looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?" Billy looked at Darla who was sleeping. "She's.. an addict" he looked back at Olivia who was speechless. "She almost died. She OD'd. She found out her sponsor died" Olivia had tears building up in her eyes "that's why she called me" she was feeling bad. "Oh my God..." she covered her mouth. "This is my fault" Olivia started to get emotional. "Hey.." Billy stood up and made his way over to Olivia. "It isn't your fault... it's mine" she looked at her dad confused. "I brought her to the cabin" Olivia looked down. " Whatever happened between you two, it's in the past. Don't hold grudges Liv. I didn't raise you that way" he said. "I can't forgive her dad...." Liv looked at him with sadness in her eyes. "Yes you can. She is a changed person. She needs you Liv" she looked from her dad to Darla.
Simone opened the door of her parents home. "What are you doing here?" Damon stood in front of her. "I needed to see you" he told her. "This is over" she told him. "My marriage is over. You got what you wanted except for the girl. I should have been smart. I should've been faithful. But I wasn't and this is the consequences. I love my husband and even though our relationship is over you and I will never happen. Don't ever come here again Damon" she said before closing the door on him. She leaned against the door with tears falling. She pulled out her phone before calling Jordan. It rung for a couple of seconds before he answered. He didn't say anything so she decided to speak "Jordan... please say something. I know you're upset with me and I hurt you in a way that you can't forgive me but please understand that I love you so much. I can't lose you and.. please just say something" she closed her eyes when the line went dead.
Olivia was seated where her dad was, besides Darla's hospital bed. She sighed, seeing how pale she was. She didn't look like the person she once knew. She saw her old self in this current Darla. She slowly reached for her hand and took it. A tear fell from her eyes before she began to speak. "Never in a million years would I think you'd end up like this. You have always been so strong. So put together. Where did it go wrong? I just don't understand. I know you used to party a lot and just have fun but... I'm so sorry for calling you an escort. You didn't deserve that. I wish I would've known something was up. I was just so surprised that you were standing in front of me that I started being hateful towards you. It doesn't matter what happened back then, all the matters is that you get better. You need to get help. And it sucks believe me. But you don't wanna go down like that. And if you want, I'll help you get through it" Olivia said before standing up. She let her hand go before leaving the room. Darla slowly opened her eyes.

It was Spelivia's wedding day. Nothing changed. Simone was still the maid of honor. Jordan was the best man. "Thank you for allowing me to continue to be your maid of honor" Simone told Olivia. "Nothing changed. What you did was wrong, it was dead wrong but, you're still family in my eyes. You're still my best friend" she nodded. "Thank you" Simone told her. Olivia gave her a half smile. "I'm nervous" she looked down. "Hey, I'm the one who should be nervous. I haven't seen Jordan since.. I'm not ready to face him" Simone told Olivia. "I know but you have to. You can't run from him forever" Simone sighed "I know but...." Olivia shook her head "no but's. As my maid of honor, I want you to talk to him before this night ends" Simone slowly nodded. "The thought of facing him makes me sick to my stomach" Simone admitted. "That's okay. As long as you don't get any vomit on my dress" they both laughed.

Today, I got to marry my best friend. Words can't express how happy I am. I am so in love with Spencer. He is the love of my life. I dreamed of this day and it happened. Seeing everyone together including Jordan and Simone, they had no choice but to dance which was quite entertaining to watch.
"Babe, look" Olivia was dancing with Spencer. He looked over his shoulder seeing Simone and Jordan dancing together. "Wow, I wonder how that conversation is going" he said. "I know right? Hopefully it's good" she rested her head against his chest. "Today you made me the luckiest man alive" she grinned as she kept her head against his chest. "I know that feeling because you made me the luckiest woman alive. I never want this day to end" she looked up at him. "I love you so much Spencer" he smiled down at her "I love you too baby girl" he said before kissing her passionately. Jordan and Simone were dancing together "You're not going to say anything?" She looked at him who wasn't really speaking to her. "Nothing to say" he shrugged. "Jordan...." she trailed. "You're beautiful Simone" he surprised her "Thats all I'm going to say" she slowly nodded before resting her head against his chest. Billy and Laura were sitting while everyone danced. "Look at them" Billy said. "I see. You feel old yet?" Billy looked over at her "old? Woman I never feel old, I feel younger than ever" she giggled "whatever you say Billy" she continued to giggled. He chuckled before he stood up. He held out his hand "may I have this dance Mrs. Baker" she looked at his hand before looking up at him "yes you may Mr. Baker" she took his hand and stood up. They walked to the dance floor and began dancing. Olivia batted her eyes before taking a step back. "What's wrong?" Spencer looked over his wife seeing she was in a little pain. "I don't know I just—" her water suddenly broke with his eyes widening. "Baby..." she looked up at him with tears in her eyes "it's time."
