Olivia Swan was the older twin of Bella Swan.
She was the life of the party.
She was a daddy's girl.
She brought smiles to the faces of everyone she knew.
Until a year ago, when something no one knows about completely destroyed her into a numb a...

"I didn't mean to hurt him." Olivia sighs into her hands, her breathing shaky. "The last person I've ever want to hurt is Paul."
"I know." Emily takes a seat next to the girl, her face set with sympathy.
"You know-um." Olivia pauses. "There was a point where I thought Paul was my world too. I was still a little naive girl and I'd have day dreams of growing up and getting married to him. He was my first love."
"If you don't mind me asking... What happened?" Emily questions, handing the girl a cup of water. "Sam had mentioned you two were conjoined at the hip when you were younger."
Olivia starts fiddling with her fingers again anxiously. "I convinced myself that it was never going to happen, that he didn't see me that way. The next time I had gone back to Phoenix I stayed away a little longer, I met a boy. A man." Olivia scoffs at the thought of him being a little boy.
Emily stares, the girl completely having her focus. None of the wolves had ever known even the slightest bit of what changed her so badly. So even hearing the smallest of details makes Emily eager to finally hear her story.
"He absolutely destroyedme." Olivia whispers. "I didn't want to live, and all I wanted was for Paul to save me."
Emily frowns sadly, they were still just kids.
"But he never came." Olivia bitterly smiles. "And trust me no part of me blames him for that. I know it's my fault. I refused to come back to Forks. I didn't want my dad or Paul to see me this way. So... Damaged. So, I just stayed away until I couldn't anymore."
"You're not damaged Olivia." Emily tries to assure her and places a hand on her arm.
Olivia sends her a tight smile knowing she doesn't believe her and she probably never will. "You know, wolves and vampires don't scare me. There are far bigger monsters in the world hiding in every corner."
"Jasper..." Emily notices her flinch when she says his name. "Is that who... Oh, Olivia."
"He was like Paul." She chokes out. "He promised me I wasn't too broken. He promised to protect me... and then he left. And it's not the same this time... I can't block everyone out and pretend like nothing matters. He made me care and then he left me."
Emily pulls her towards the sofa and lays Olivia's head on her chest and cries. For such a young girl she had already gone through so much heartbreak. She feels bad for both her and Paul. Paul was in love with a version of her that no longer exists and now the girl was caught between her past, Paul, and Jasper.
Paul approaches the house exhausted almost an hour of leaving the home, he was upset with himself that he couldn't control himself again. Even thinking about it again gets him up worked up though. What if she had never left Forks? Would things had been different? He would have shifted and imprinted on the girl and they most likely would have already been together.
