You Saved Me!

~*Chapter 34: Olivia *~

On the way back to Garrett and Emma's place, I tried desperately to keep my hands from shaking. I could tell that Garrett was trying to give me some space. I kept replaying what had happened between Josh and me only thirty minutes ago.

"Olivia , I don't want your first time to be like this. It needs to be special, a night you'll always remember with as smile...and without any regret, princess. "

He didn't want to make love to me because he was planning on fucking Lynda tonight. I should have known. He'll never change. Ever.

Just then Garrett pulled me from my thoughts.

"Olivia, are ya gonna let the boy explain?"

I spun my head toward Garrett and just stared at him.

"What?"

"Are you going to at least let him explain? He looked pretty torn up. "

Oh. My. God.

"No! Not to be rude, Garrett, but you have no idea what happened between us back there. Josh is a womanizer. He will never change, and I was crazy to think that I might be the one he would change for. "

I started to think about my father telling me how someday my prince would come for me. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes again.

I missed my mother and father. Why did they have to leave me all alone?

We drove up to the house just as Liam and Niall were pulling up. I flew out of the Jeep and started to make my way over to Niall . The moment he saw, me he knew something was wrong.

"Harry?" Niall asked in a panicked voice.

Oh shit. How could I forget about Harry ? What kind of friend

am I?

I shook my head and tried to smile. I needed to pull it together. Niall didn't need to hear me bellyache about Josh.

Fooker that he is.

"What's wrong, Olivia?"

"I guess I'm just thinking about Haz. Have you heard from him since you left?"

Niall eyes filled with tears.

"No, but I did talk to Louis . He's not doing so well. He's blaming himself. He was crying so hard on the phone that I could hardly understand him. "

"What happened with the whole Briana thing?"

"Oh god, I'll fill you in on the ride over to the club. "

Liam let out a laugh. "Niall, it's not a club. It's a honkytonk. "

Niall shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever. "

As we walked up to the house, I heard someone pulling up the driveway. I turned around to see Josh's truck. I started to walk faster, taking the steps of the porch two at a time, only to run right into Lynda.

"Jesus, watch where you're going, Olivia. "

I took one look at her and wanted to puke. She was dressed in a low-cut, very low-cut light blue shirt. I could see her bra through the shirt, and her shorter-than-short skirt was damn near up to her crotch. Her black cowboy boots rounded out the whole hooker-looking outfit. I ran my eyes up and down her.

"You think Josh will like what he sees?" She asked, giving me a wink.

I had an incredible urge to knock the crap out of this girl. I was just about to say something back to her when I heard Josh behind me.
