Lost in the Fire

2.05: Tired

Every time I close my eyes I see your face

Olivia sometimes imagined what her life would've been like if she never moved to East Highland or met Fez. She would've gone to a private school, her high school sweetheart would've come from an affluent family. Her parents would've loved him, and they would've gotten married as soon as they graduated from high school. Ideally, her parents wouldn't want her to go to college, but she'd argue against that, and they'd compromise. She'd earn her associate degree in whatever then immediately start trying for a baby.

Her husband would be attentive to her wants and needs, be an active father despite being so busy, all around the perfect man. They'd have family vacations every year, he'd go all out for her birthday and anniversary. She wouldn't be worrying about people going after her husband or him getting arrested. She wouldn't have to raise their kids alone or hide them or worry about their safety, she'd have a perfect life. Olivia would be well taken care of, she'd love being a housewife, she'd love her normal boring life.

But Liv would snap out of her daydream and realize she wouldn't want that life. She loved her unconventional life and her unconventional family. There was a reason she fell for Fez in the first place and that's because of how calm he was. He was her polar opposite when they were kids. She led and he followed. He didn't mind following her either, he didn't have that toxic masculinity bullshit that so many men suffer from. Liv always imagined herself a successful lawyer, Fezco a house husband taking care of Esme and their other children, and Ashtray a student. She'd come home late at night, smoke a blunt with Fez, talk for hours about everything then go to bed. She told him about that fantasy before and of course, he didn't mind. All Fezco wanted was for Olivia to be happy.

Olivia had been dreaming about Fezco every night since the break. She'd wake up early in the morning unable to go back to sleep and because of that, she had been having a rough few days. Esme had been acting out whenever he wasn't around, even Diana was having difficulty calming the eleven month old down. However since her semester ended, she had been working more and managed to save enough money to move into town. Of course, packing up basically by herself proved to be a challenge, but despite everything that's happened between her and Fez, she knew he'd help if she asked.
