"I see through those silent lies of yours, Liv."

I don't want to leave this hospital, leave Olivia, whatsoever but visiting hours are over so we're all forced to leave. Especially when Olivia's mom is back out of nowhere.
Finding out that the unfamiliar woman in Olivia's hospital room when we went over to see Olivia is her mom shocked all of us. Ashton, Danny, and Noah don't know much about Olivia's mom apart from her just not being around, but me and Divine know just about everything. She left for years, but all of a sudden she's back as if she never left.
"So, Olivia's mom left... and now she's just back after what, six years?" Ashton asks, still trying to figure all of this out as we all are, eating his fries as we stopped for dinner with Divine and Admira.
"Yeah, that's it," Admira says, eating her own fries.
"That's really shitty... I mean, is she only back because she heard about what Liv's dad did from Sienna, her social worker?" Ashton asks and I nod, having the same question.
"Lauren claims she was coming back for Olivia, but social services got to her first." Admira shrugs as Divine frowns.
"Do you think it's a good thing?" I ask Admira, knowing she'll have the best input when she's a mother also.
"I don't know... Lauren is, or was, a great person." Admira hesitates to go on. "She was my best friend all those years ago, but then she just up and left, cut all contact with me and everyone else. I don't even care about me, it's the fact that she left her kids whether she knew Justin," Olivia's dad, "would turn into that horrible of a person or not. And especially now that she has a whole ass other family." You know it's serious when Admira's cussing. "I don't know what to expect... She was an amazing mom when she was around but now that she left for years my views have completely changed on her."
"Do you think it was a mistake to let Lauren take back full custody?" Divine asks and I worry, not knowing these step siblings and step dad Olivia's going to have now and even her mom I worry about. There's so many what if's.
"I don't know," Admira says honestly. "Either way, Lauren was probably going to get it no matter what I said or what Olivia wanted. Lauren's her biological mom, it's always easier for them."
"Liv seems happy that she's back?" Ashton questions.
"She does..." I trail off, wondering about it all.
We were all acting happy for Olivia since her mom's back, because this is the happiest she's been. Even before her dad somehow got her back, I'd never seen her so happy. I wasn't happy though, none of us really were. Olivia had cried to me a few times about her mom and her leaving, she hurt her. It's not even just that, like Admira said, she left Olivia and her sister with a fucking monster, whether she knew or not is not at all an excuse to leave your kids. But Olivia's happy at least.
"I'm sure Olivia will realize eventually," Divine says and we all look at her. "I mean... with the mental state she's in right now, she's not thinking about all of this. And she surely has mommy and daddy issues." Divine frowns, muttering a few things to herself about how that was wrong to say. "Just this reunion and attention from her mom will make her happier than ever. Just give her time and she'll realize, let her have this happiness for now."
