Olivia was packing up her suitcases in her room. Folding clothes, she packed them away neatly. Her mom knocked on her door before walking in. "Hey honey....oh...your packing?" She asked. "Yeah, we're leaving in two days..." Olivia shrugged. Her mom smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but uh...i know" She nodded as she sat down on her bed. She picked up some clothes and started folding them.
"So...how are the boys?" Her mom asked. "Fine, i told ya." Olivia sighed. "They're gonna miss you..." "Yes, well the feeling is mutual" Olivia told her. "Your positive you still wanna go back? because you can go to college here! or a job...or you always said you wanted to travel!" Her mom smiled. "Mom...please dont." Olivia sighed as she put a shirt into her suitcase and zipped it up. She put it on her floor and walked over to her smaller case and started filling that. "Oliiva...your eighteen now." Her mom told her. "Yeah i know...and...?" Olivia turned to her mom. Shrugging her mom shook her head. "I am only saying. Your free to do whatever you want..." Olivia sighed. "I know." She spoke.
"Well...i was thinking...why dont you ask Ashton over for dinner?" Her mom asked. "What?" Olivia stopped folding and looked at her mom. "Im just saying. You like this boy, and you told me you kissed him....he must be sad to see you leave." "Oh my....mom! are you serious?" Liv laughed a little as she threw socks into her case. "Its a sweet offer!" Her mom told her. "Please...dont...make this harder than what it is!" Olivia stopped laughing and told her mom. "Liv..." Her mom looked at her. "Please?" Olivia began to sob. "Oh Sweet heart!" Her mom took her arm and pulled her closer. She moved her suitcase out the way and sat her daughter down beside her.
She put an arm around her as she hugged her. "Shh..." Her mom soothed. Olivia sniffed, and sobbed into her moms arms. "Why are you crying?" Her mom asked. "Because..im going to miss those guys...and Ashton...and here" She managed to speak out. "So why do you want to go back to England?" Her mom asked. "Natasha...." She sniffed. "But Tasha, told you! She said if you wanted to stay...." "Mom...its more complicated. I thought when i came here...it would drag in and finally when the time came i would be running to the airport to get home." She wiped her eye.
"So what changed?" Her mom asked. "I met those...four dorks" She laughed a little. "and they're what making you want to stay?" Her mom asked rubbing her arm. "Well...yes. Also, i love this place. Australia is beautiful...compared to back home." Liv looked up at her mom. Her mom nodded agreeing. "Now, i feel like a spoilt brat! You've got a job offer of a life time for you...me, i can have loads of oppurtunites, have friends! Even dad! he can stay here in the bigger, and higher up job he has." Olivia covered her face with her hand. "Olivia, your not a brat. Your just...at that age where you dont know what you want...its understandable" Her mom told her.
Olivia nodded as she shrugged. "However...its in there" Her mom tapped her head softly. "You do know what you want...its deep down inside...you know" Her mom told her. Olivia sat silent, tears running down her face and dropping onto her leggings.
"Hey...how about...we go out tonight. Just us, some girl time. Movies, ice-cream...?" Her mom asked. "What about dad?" Liv sniffed. "He'll be okay...he's uh...busy anyway..." Her mom nodded. "Doing what?" Liv asked. "Just being busy..." Her mom told her. Olivia nodded. "I'd like that...thanks mom" She smiled. "Oh honey...." Her mom hugged her. "Mom...?" "Yes...?" Her mom asked. "Can we invite...Ashton over for dinner tomorrow?" Olivia asked. Her mom looked down at her and smiled. "Sure...of course he can" "Thank you..." Olivia sniffed.
"Well, you get changed...clean up...and we'll head out." Her mom smiled. "Okay..." Olivia nodded and sat up. Her mom kissed her head, before heading out her room. Olivia sighed and wiped her face. She got up and took out Jeans, and a shirt before changing into them. She cleaned her face and applied a fresh face of makeup. She tied her hair up in a ponytail and curled it. She looked at the time.
6:30pm.
She wondered what movie her mom would pick..
