The feeling of watching the casket being dropped down made Olivia's heart sink. It was like the last part of her happiness was going down as she through the last rose down.
Matt quickly grabbed her hand as she watched the casket.
"We have to go," She said as she looked at Matt who also was crying.
"We can take all the time you need," Matt said as suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Chris smiling at her.---
"Happy Thanksgiving everyone!" Marylou said from the end of the table as everyone started serving their own food.
"I am so glad you came Justin," Chris said from beside Olivia as she smiled, nodding.
"Yeah, of course. How can I miss thanksgiving with you guys," He sorta joked, but you could tell he was serious.
"Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday," Olivia said as she took a bite of her food.
"More than Christmas?" Chris said as she thought for a second.
"Yeah probably," She said as she heard people disagree.
"More than Halloween? You love Halloween," Matt said confidently as she smiled at him.
"Okay maybe Halloween beats thanksgiving," She laughed at how happy Matt seemed to be by just correctly saying her favorite holiday.
"I will never get over you and Olivia's relationship," Justin told Matt as Olivia wiped her head toward him.
"Why?"
"You guys despised each other! Like actually did, then you date and break up and are still good friends?"Justin said taking a bite of his food. Olivia and Matt shared awkward glances as everyone discussed their relationship.
"They were so cute Justin!" Marylou said as both teens blushed.
"I was so happy," Chris said as Olivia turned to him with an apologetic smile.
"They weren't cute, they were annoying," Nic said as Madi nodded.
"All they would do is whisper cutely at each other and blush every time they made eye contact," Nic said as Matt and Olivia did exactly what he described.
"That's cute Nic," Justin said as Nic rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, don't act like you don't do that with Marcel," Chris said annoyed.
"In his defense, Marcel does that not Nic," Madi said jokingly as Nic rolled his eyes. Marcel smiled at his boyfriend and laughed once Nic made eye contact with him. They both laughed together.
"See- Hypocrite," Chris laughed as Nic said "It's cute when Marcel and I do it,"---
"I am so full," Olivia said as she laid on Chris' bed.
Chris had been itching with the thought of Matt's letter. It was driving him insane, and ever since Madi told him that she saved the letter too. He was going crazy.
Madi walked into the room and smiled at her best friends.
"Let's go to Matt's room!" Chris said weirdly as both Olivia and Madi gave him a skeptical look. "What why?"
"He is probably all alone in there! Let's go!" Chris walked off as both Madi and Olivia share a confused look. They followed the boy as he opened the door, Matt was laying there on his phone.
"What are you doing?" Chris asked as the girls followed behind him.
Matt looked confused but responded with "Im playing clash of clans," He said as they all nodded awkwardly.
"What are you guys doing here," Matt asked as he returned his attention back to his phone.
"Nothing we just wanted to hang," Chris said as he sat down on the floor. Olivia walked up to Matt and pushed him, so she can lay on the bed next to him.
He laughed as he rolled to the other side.
Olivia opened her arms for Madi, to which she quickly cuddled next to Olivia.
"We should do something fun!" Chris said as Olivia rolled her eyes.
"I love you Chris, but you are acting so weird," She said as he frowned. "Yeah," Madi said as she whispered.
"Why don't we all just take a nap," Olivia said, the food made her sleepy.
"We should play..." Chris thought for a second about a game that would involve Olivia opening Matt's nightstand and reading the letter.
"How about monopoly?" Matt asked a couple of seconds later.
"Oh my god! That is such a good bad idea," Olivia smiled at the boy as he looked at her with confused eyes.
"Dont look at me like that," Olivia said smiling as she turned back so her back was facing him. He couldn't help but chuckle."I am down," Madi said as Olivia perked up.
"I'll go get the monopoly and more people," Olivia said as she stood up from the bed and Chris and Madi widened their eyes looking at each other.
"I forgot how competitive Olivia gets," Chris said as Madi rolled her eyes.
---"If you roll a six, eight, or a nine you land on one of mine!" Olivia told Justin as he grabbed the dice.
"You counted?" Justin said as Olivia gave him a duh look. Justin threw the dice as everyone inched forwards waiting for the dice to land.
"It's a nine!" Matt said as he high-fived Olivia.
"That would be nine hundred twenty-five! Thanks, Illinois Avenue!" Olivia said as Justin started to count his money.
"You are eating up," Matt told Olivia as she smiled.
"You know she is the reason why you are out of the game... right?" Justin said as he reluctantly gave her the money.
"Yeah. Olivia is the reason you are bankrupt and had to forfeit," Nic added as Matt shrugged.
"I am still eating yall up," She smiled as she looked at her properties and her money.
She laughed once she saw everyone's annoyed reactions to her swatting her money around.
"I love this game,"
"Hey! don't be too cocky look over there!" Marcel pointed to the dark blue properties, full of houses; all owned by Marcel.
"Who guarantees that I will actually land on one of those?" She said quickly as he rolled his eyes, just as he was about to fight back a phone started ringing.
Everyone checked their phones.
"Olivia it's yours," Madi said as she awkwardly took Olivia's phone out of the charger and handed it to Liv.
As she was passing the phone every saw the contact name.
'Vinnie !'"Oh... ill be right back," She said as she stood up and walked out of the room.
"Hi, Vinnie," She answered as she walked as far away as possible from everyone.
"Hey! I have a mini surprise for you," He said as she got nervous
"I am looking for Boston flights... but I need someone to come pick me up,"
"Why are you gonna come?" She asked, her voice sounding rougher than usual.
"I wanted to be with you-"
"Vinnie... We both know this isn't really working out," Olivia whispered not wanting anyone to hear."Olivia-" He cut himself off, knowing what this was about.
"Is this about Matt?" He said as she sighed.
"It has always been about Matt," He finally said as she bit her cheek not really feeling like talking.
"Goodbye Vin," She whispered as she heard him sigh, and he just hung up.
No words.
She took a second to breathe and put on a smile.
"I hoped you guys didn't play my turn," Olivia said as she walked back in.
"No, we were just waiting for your turn," Matt said as he smiled at the girl, watching her sit down and giving her the dice.
She smiled as she took it from him.
"Oh! by the way, Madi and Nic landed on your red properties and I made sure they paid," Matt said as Olivia giggled. "really?""yeah," nic said annoyed.
"It's like yall are a team," Chris said as Olivia smiled, grabbing his wrist and twisting his hand, placing the dice in his hand.
"You through for us," She said as the group almost dies.
"Nah, this is so unlike Liv," Chris joked making everyone laugh.
"Are you feeling okay?" Nic said joking as she smiled, replaying with
"I am better,"
