Monday.
It was 8:30am, and the boys were on their way to pick up Olivia. Olivia was pacing around her room, anxious and her stomach flipping. She didnt know how to tell the guys...she didnt want to tell them. She didnt have the heart, and after everything with Ashton....she couldnt. She practically cried herself to sleep...at 4am, and nearly used all of her concealer to patch up her red puffy eyes. Sighing she heard a knock at her door.
"Olivia?" Her mom spoke walking in. She turned and looked at her mom. "Sweetie, you dont have too...." "Mom, im not skipping school for anything! I dont care...." She shook her head. "Liv, i told you, you dont have to worry....." Just then Liv saw a car pull up outside her gate from her window. She grabbed her bag and looked at her mom. "Look, im going to be late! i'll see you later...i love you" She told her before walking out her room and down her stairs. She walked out her front door, and took a deep breath as spotted Ash's car. He was smiling as he waved out his window.
She walked to his car and got in. "Hey!" Ash grinned and the guys greeted her. "Hi.." She spoke a little shakily. "You okay?" Ashton took her hand. "Uuhh...." Michael spoke up. Olivia took her hand back. "Im fine! school sucks...and we're going to be late, lets go" She sighed and turned her head to her window. Ashton sat for a moment before driving out her street, and to school.

Noon, Free Period.
Olivia was standing at her locker, staring at her timetable. This sucked! so bad! She took her book out her locker and sighed as she turned and spotted Ashton walking towards her. Turning away she closed her eyes and shook her head. "Hi...." He smiled walking up to her. "Hello" She smiled back at him before putting a folder from her bag into her locker. "So....i called you a few times last night....you didnt call back" He told her. "Im sorry" She sighed looking at him. "Dont apoloize...i just....i want to know whats up? I know theres something....you were quiet all morning" He looked at her, his eyes fixed on her.
"Ashton..." "You can trust me...i thought....we could talk now, after everything this weekend?" He took her hand. Olivia smiled thinking back to the memory. "Liv, im not going to leave you and stop talking to you....i want to help if something is wrong" He told her. Liv bit her lip and looked up at him. "Ash, i dont know what we are....and please, can i...just have some time alone...to think?" SHe asked. "I dont...." "Please. I need this...i cant drag you into this with me..." She told him stepping back. "Olivia" He pleaded. "No, Ashton. You dont need me....Im sorry" Her breath got caught in her throat as her voice cracked a little.
Olivia closed her locker and turned. "I'm...not worth it. You deserve so much more" She told him before walking off. "Olivia?!" He called after her. Ashton stood watching Liv walk away, down the corridor. He looked down at his wrist. He only had three bracelets, and a wristband. His wrist wasnt covered in them...she made him believe he was normal. He shook his head as he stood with his back agaisnt the lockers.
To Olivia:
"Olivia...please, if there is something wrong...let me help you. You are worth it. Trust me. <3"
He put his phone in his blazer pocket as he walked off in the opposite direction, down the corridor.
