Olivia watched as Spencer's name flashed across her phone and as much as she wanted to answer it, her anger was in control as she declined yet another call.

"He's out of his mind if he thinks I'm going to answer so he can tell me all about his stupid smash tour." Olivia said to Patience. "Clearly I've been too respectful to someone who doesn't deserve it."

Patience loved Spencer, he's always been her brother and he and Olivia's break up didn't change that, but she'd never been more disappointed with him. She was struggling to see him as the guy who would move on so quickly after sleeping with Olivia. For the first time she was starting to see his point, maybe he was diming her light.

Olivia had gone through the sadness portion of the break up, now she was tired of being sad and ready to get even. If he was going out and entertaining other people, she needed to move on.

Olivia decided that her long weekend was going to be spent with someone who could support her the way she needed, so she booked the earliest ticket she could find and was on her way to Bringston.

Simone picked her up from the airport and instead of asking her if she was okay she just pulled her into a hug. The dam broke instantly as Olivia sobbed into the shoulder of her former sister-in-law.

"He said he was always going to love me but he lied Simone." Olivia cried, "He lied."

Simone fought to hold back her own tears, it was painful to hear Olivia cry like this, especially since she knew that she'd held onto all of these feelings until she felt safe enough to let them out which meant that Olivia had been suffering alone for weeks.

"I'm so sorry Liv." Simone whispered into her ear repeatedly. Simone knew apologies from her wouldn't cause the pain to cease, but at least Liv finally had someone on her side in all of this.

They went straight to Simone's place where Keisha and Nate were waiting to help Olivia finally purge from her break up. They laughed with her, cried with her, embraced her, and above all else, they listened to her. But true the the essence of who they are as people, they only let her wallow in self pity for one day. It was time for Olivia to get her groove back. Spencer James must have forgotten, Olivia Baker could have any man she wants, and this weekend, she definitely didn't want him.

Back in Beverly Hills, the Vortex was scrambling.

"So she didn't come home last night?" Asher asked Layla.

"No. She left early yesterday morning and hasn't been back since. I don't want to worry Jordan and Spencer but that isn't her usual behavior." Layla whispered into the phone not wanting Coop to overhear and stir up unnecessary drama.

"I'll get the boys, we'll be there in 20 minutes." Asher confirmed.

Once the boys walked in the Baker house, they could tell that something was wrong.

Coop shrugged at them when they looked her way for answers, she was clueless too.

"Is this a Vortex meeting?" JJ asked. "Cause we can't have one without Liv."

Patience sighed and decided to rip the band-aid off.

"That's why you're all here. Liv didn't come home last night and we haven't heard from her since early yesterday morning."

Jordan rolled his eyes, clearly his sister was being dramatic. He called his mom and asked if she'd Liv and Laura confirmed that Olivia was seen two days ago. His face fell as he thanked her and rushed off of the phone.
