End of an Era (Book 7)

All Falls Down

|Olivia's POV|

I was preparing for a night out with my friends. Patrick has a home game tomorrow and is at the hotel with the team. I'm going to a party tonight with my friends. I was just about finished getting ready when my phone started ringing. I couldn't help but smile seeing it was a FaceTime call from Pat.

Hi baby.

He instantly smiled.

Hey, beautiful. Wanted to catch you before you went out.

Well, perfect timing. What are you up to?

Watching film. You know my routine.

Patrick was serious about being the best he could be on the field. He went to bed fairly early and was up at 5am on game days. Of course the team watched film of their opponent, but that's what Pat did in his downtime. Always studying. Always looking to be better.

Right. Well, I'm about to head out to this party. Don't worry, I'll text you when I get home.

Alright. Have fun and be safe. Remember our deal.

I rolled my eyes. I wasn't 21 just yet, but of course parties like this had alcohol. Patrick didn't want me drinking and said I should be aware of my surroundings at all times.

Yes, babe. I know. No alcohol. I'm not going to drink. It's just a party.

Alright. Who you going with again?

Patrick...

I'm double checking my girlfriend's location, especially because I'm about to be knocked out. I need to know you're good.

I will be. I'm going with Renee and Wyatt is coming along.

Oh, cool. Wyatt will protect you if anything.

I can handle myself, thank you very much.

You can, but I feel better knowing he'll be going too.

You coming to the game tomorrow?

Yes. A late night won't keep me from supporting my 3rd favorite LA Ram.

He chuckled.

Your 3rd favorite?

Yup. Logan is #1, Teo is #2 and you're #3.

I'll take it. At least I'm in your top 3. One day I'll take the #1 spot.

Oh really?

You're end game for me, Livy so you're #1 across the board.

I couldn't help but blush.

You're so sweet.

Spend the night at my place tomorrow night. We can do a chill date night.

Fine by me.

I won't keep you. Have fun and be safe. Don't forget to let me know when you get home.

I will and I'll see your handsome face tomorrow.

Have a goodnight, beautiful. Love you.

Love you, too.

Patrick is one of the sweetest and caring people I know, but he's protective of me. He didn't say much when I did anything, but I've had some hangovers since officially moving to California and he wasn't a fan. We made a deal that I would lay off the alcohol. Fine, whatever.

I got a text from my friend Renee that they had reached the club. Ava was going to come, but she has a date. Bianca was going to fly in, but she's going on a date, too. I couldn't be happier to have my cousins here with me. I was putting on my shoes when the doorbell rang.
