I Found Love

Hot mess

It was morning. One day before Oliver's birthday. I woke up. Checked my phone, it was 10:58. I decided to get something to eat. I went downstairs.

By my suprise, I saw Oliver sitting at the table. By the way he looked at me, I realised I was wearing those pijamas. They were my favourite and the most comfy, but I looked like a hoe in them. The top was cropped and had a wide opening, and the shorts were high waisted and really short. Oh fuck - I thought. Anyways. I opened a cupboard, poured some cereal in a bowl, then opened the fridge and poured some almond milk too. I sat down to eat. ,,Where's Hannah? And your parents?'' I asked, barely looking at him. I was rather staring at the table. ,,They're out of town. They went to get me something for my birthday. They will be back tomorrow morning'' Oh great. I'm stuck here with Oliver for a whole day. And night. Oh shit. ,,Great'' that's all that came out of my mouth.

When I finished breakfast, I put my bowl in the sink. I started heading upstears, when for some reason I stopped. A few seconds later all I saw was Oliver's arm next to my head. He pushed me to the wall and looked me in my eyes. ,,Isa, stop playing with me. I thought I was being obvious. One second you moan in my ear, which, by the way, didn't have any effect on me, and then you basically ignore me. If you don't like me just tell me. Even tho I don't think that's the case''

I decided to tell him the truth. ,,Oliver, I really like you. I just... You know, I still have a boyfriend. He would be so mad if he found out I even looked at you'' ,,Isa. Look me in my eyes. And listen to me very carefully. Try to change the way you think. Your boyfriend is toxic, and abusive. You're so much more than that, Isa. You deserve better. You're such a beautiful and perfect woman. And he's a piece of crap. Even if I didn't like you, I would still tell you all this. Because this is the truth, Isa. Please break up with him''

I hate to admit it, but he was right. Instead, this is what I said: ,,You don't even know him'' I said quietly, looking at the floor. ,,That's true. But remember what you told me in my room when you came here? Isa, I never saw that much pain in anyone's eyes. And I really don't want you to hurt anymore. I'm telling you this because I love you and I never want to see that in your eyes again''

,,Wow, I... Oliver, you're right! What was I thinking?'' I ran upstairs to grab my phone. I texted Paul a quick break up text. I didn't explain anything. Didn't feel the need to anymore. He saw it, but he didn't respond. I didn't even care anymore.

,,Thank you so much'' I smiled, then I hugged Oliver. ,,Wanna come to the beach? I invited Annabelle, Grace and their siblings'' ,,I would love to. Even tho it would be so much better if it was just us'' ,,Oh there will be plenty of time for that'' I smirked, and I went upstairs.

We were chilling on a beach towel. Oliver, Grace, Annabelle, Olivia, Jack, Marcus and me. We really enjoyed the time we spent together. I told my friends about the breakup and they were all so glad. I was the gladdest of them all. I finally felt free. I felt enough. And careless. It felt so good. Only if I knew what was coming...

,,Isa..'' I saw Grace's jaw drop. ,,You might wanna turn around'' she said quietly. I curiously turned my back, only to see Paul standing behind us. ,,P-Paul..? Wh- what are you doing here?'' I asked. I'll admit it, I was pretty scared of him. ,,What do you mean?? You broke up with me! ISA YOU BROKE UP WITH ME!!'' he yelled, shoving his phone in my face. ,,Bro what's your problem?'' Oliver stood up. ,,It's that my girlfriend comes here with my permission, and then she finds some other dude and decides to break up with me. Pathetic. Isabelle, you're coming home with me on the next flight'' ,,Y-yes'' I smuttered.

,,No. She's not going anywhere. She stays here because that's what she wants. Your time of controlling her is over, douchebag!'' said Oliver, and he began punching Paul. ,,Oliver!'' I screamed. Marcus and Jack pulled him off of Paul.

Paul put his hand in the air, and he was about to hit me, when his eyelids closed and he fell to the ground. We saw a girl standing behind him, holding a half empty Coke. ,,Looks like you needed help'' she smiled. ,,Laura'' she introduced herself. I was still in a little shock, so I was too stunned to speak, but the others introduced ourselves.

She sat down our beach towel and we started talking. It was amazing how she knocked my ex with a half empty Coke bottle. We pulled his body away, and put a towel on him, so he now looked like he was just sleeping. It was honestly pretty funny.

Laura seemed really cool. We laughed a lot, and enjoyed each other's company. It turned out that she doesn't live in Cadaqués, she's only here on vacation, and she's from England.

Her and Marcus seemed to get along pretty well. After half an hour of all of us talking, Marcus asked her if he could buy her a drink, so they dissapeared into the bar. An hour later we looked over to the bar, and saw them having their third drink and started to make out.

They came back. ,,I have a girlfriend'' said Marcus in a drunk voice with a big, alcohol smelling smile. Laura wrapped her hands around his neck and they started kissing again. ,,Man, I thought you weren't that kind of girl'' Grace said, kind of dissapointed. They stopped for a moment. ,,I'm not'' Laura said ,,But your brother tastes too good'' and they continued kissing. We all laughed.

It was about ten pm when we went home. We walked everyone home. We were really loud, laughing, talking, enjoying each other. But when everyone went home and it was just me and Oliver, it got silent. We just walked next to each other in silence, but somehow I didn't find it awkward. It was like we understood each other without words.

When we got home, I started heading to my room. ,,Oliver. Thank you so much for everything you did to me. You helped me the most and made me realise a lot of things. You made my life better. I like you too, I really do, a lot, but I want to move things slowly, and I just got out of a relationship. Also, it is kinda hard for me to trust anyone after what Paul did to me'' I hugged him. ,,I understand'' he said. ,,Good night Oliver'' ,,Good night Isa''
