Third Person P.O.V.

"For Georgie only." Richie repeated, making sure that Bill understood.

When everyone thought the Oliva was just getting something from her locker, Stan checked the time and realized that it normally doesn't take this long for Olivia to get something from her locker. He knew that something was wrong.

"Hey guys, I just realized I left something in school, too. I'm going to go get it." He says.

The rest of the club nods in agreement. Stan walks into the school and starts running to Olivia's locker.

"Where is she? Something must be wrong; I've got to find her." Stan mumbles to himself knowing what he must do.

He starts running down the halls and looking in every classroom, but she wasn't there. Then he reached the library. 

"She's got to be in here, this is her favorite place. Olivia, please be in here, for me." He said, quite out of breath, mumbling to himself again. 

Since Stan was now in the library, he wasn't able to run anymore. He knew that it would slow his search down, but he would do anything to be able to find his best friend, who is oblivious to knowing how he feels about her. 

"Olivia! Where are you?!" He whispers, so he doesn't get in trouble.

He searches the whole library until he starts to head to the last part of the library that he hasn't searched yet. As he walks over there, he slowly starts to lose hope on finding her. That is until he can hear someone quietly crying. He runs over, knowing who it is.

Olivia's P.O.V.

As I was sitting in this corner of the library, the one with my favorite books, I couldn't hold any of my emotions in anymore. As much as I didn't want this now, or ever, I could feel my cheeks starting to become wet, and I knew what was happening. I was crying. I don't usually cry, but when I do, it's for a good reason. And everything that has happened to me recently must have pushed me over, even without knowing. It was inevitable, I just have to sit here and let it go. 

As I sat there thinking about what could have pushed me over the edge, I realized that it could have multiple things, but I didn't want to think about now. I just want to get this over with. That was until I heard someone, someone I didn't know that I needed in this moment. 

"Olivia! What's wrong? Are you okay? Please tell me you are okay!" Stan said, sort of panicking.

"Quiet! You're gonna get us kicked out!" I whispered loud enough to get Stan to stop, all while in between tears.

As soon as he calmed down, which only took a second or two, he ran up to me. Giving me the thing, I needed the most, a hug. It was so warm and comforting, I wished that it never had to end.

"What happened? Are you okay? You can tell me anything." Stan told me, as I was still hugging him tightly. His cheeks also felt warm, maybe it was just because he was probably running looking for me. 

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me." I said.

Stan's P.O.V.

"No, you're not fine. And I do need to worry about you. You are my best friend; you are more important than anything else in this world to me. So please tell me." 

I can't believe something like that just came out of my mouth!

I could feel my cheeks warming up, and I hoped that Olivia couldn't see it. Plus, I needed to be here for her right now. Not my feelings. 

"Okay, I'll tell you, only if you promise never to tell anyone, ever." She said, finally calming down. 

"I promise, I will never tell anyone, ever."

I could tell how much this meant to her, and I didn't want her to feel any worse than she does now. So, I will do whatever she wants me to do because I want her to feel better.

"Well, you know how my mom and dad haven't been home for long periods of time in the last few years. Well, I am now finally feeling truly happy, as someone who I want to be. But now, they are going to come home soon, and I am going to lose all of this! And I don't want to! I am someone who I am not happy with when they are here, their perfect picture. And they don't care how I feel, or how Richie feels, a-and I wish that they never had to come home."

She had told me about her parents before, but she never told me that they were this bad. And I do agree, she is completely different with her parents around. But I wish she had told me all about this before. Cause maybe then I could have helped her, changed her life for the better. 

"I know how you feel, and even though I can't change the past, I want to help you change how you feel in the future. So, if you ever need me to come over, or if you need to come over to my house, you can. No asking necessary. Even if you need to start crying, anywhere we are, I'll be there and have my shoulder open for you. Whenever and for whatever you need."

Woah, I've never spoken this well in my life. What's gotten over me lately?

I could feel my whole face becoming warm. It's not just my cheeks now, I just hope she can't see any of this, I wouldn't want to ruin the moment.

Third Person P.O.V. 

At this point, they were both sitting next to each other on the floor. Stanley slides even closer to Olivia, which in turn made him totally flustered now, more than he thought ever imaginable. Their faces were just a few inches apart and could feel each other's breath. 

"Thanks, Stanley. It felt good to let that all out."

"Anytime Olivia, anytime." 

At this point, Stan knew that he couldn't keep all of his feelings in but didn't want to go too far. And he had realized that Olivia had fallen asleep in his arms. So, he pulled Olivia into another comforting hug, and kissed her on top of her head. He sighs with a huge grin on his face, not being able to believe what he had just done. 

"It felt good to let that out too." He quietly mumbled to himself, not wanting to wake her up.
