the two boys i fell in love with // m.s (2023)

Abused

Olivia's POV:
I closed the door quietly praying my dad was asleep, but little did I know he was right there. I turned around and there he was. Shit.
"Where were you!" He yelled in my ear, and I refused to answer. Not because I didn't want to but it's simply bc I'm 17 almost 18, and I should have my rights of not speaking or leaving without asking.
"Where were you!" He screams once again in my ear, and punching me multiple times to the ground.
"a-at." I was stuttering as he was hitting my leg till I answered the dumb question.
"Spit it out!" My dad demanded. Punching me and giving my right eye a black eye.
"At Matt's house!" I screamed. The look on his face terrified me.
"Who the fuck is Matt!" He grab a beer bottle about to smack me with it.
"Just a friend." I say quietly as my dad smashes the beer bottle on my head. That was the last thing I remember before passing out.

As I rise from my sleep I wondered how long I was out for. I grabbed my phone that was sitting on the floor next to me. 7:27pm... I checked to see if I had missed any phone calls, and I'm not surprised. Matt had called me 64 times in the past 10 hours that I was knocked out. I decided to call him back despite how rough I looked. Right has I called Matt, he answered. The look on his face explained his confusion.
"What the hell happened? Why weren't you answering the fucking phone?" I don't think he meant in a rude way. I just think he's concerned. I was hiding my face from him I couldn't let him see me with a black eye.
"Matt I... I'm sorry I didn't call you back."
"Hey, it's all good. Are you safe, and ok?" He was worried I can tell in his voice.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine and safe, don't worry." I shouldn't have lied... I went up to my room still on face time with Matt. I had told him that I couldn't turn my camera on because it wasn't working. Which he believed. It's been awhile and me and Matt just got off the phone. It was about 1am so I placed my phone on the portable charger, and drifted off to sleep.

I woke up from a peaceful sleep quickly getting up. I checked my phone to see the time. 9:45am. I went downstairs, luckily my dad wasn't up yet. I grabbed some eggs, and started the stove. After I was done I quickly ate. I rushed to get my stuff for the triplets house. We're going to film a car video I guess but I have no idea what the topic is. I didn't care too much about the black eye knowing that it probably won't matter since it will wash off later anyway.

I knocked on the door right as I did Chris opened it, and shut it in my face right after he saw me.
"What the fuck!" I shout. Nick opens the door.
"Sorry about that, he's just in a mood today." I nodded and headed to the couch. I sat in between Chris and Matt.
"What are we watching?" Nick asked. I'm surprised Chris hasn't said anything about me being next to him.
"I have no idea." I said looking at Chris, his face was neutral I couldn't see any emotion or any hint of discomfort. I looked at Matt that was also looking at Chris. Well, till he saw my black eye. I quickly turned my head away from Matt's site.
"Olivia..." Matt seemed to be really upset.
"Yes?" I asked. I was really nervous, and I kept fiddling with my fingers.
"What the fuck happened to your fucking eye!" He shouts. I started tearing up and leaving the room.
"What the hell Matt!" Nick yelled.
"Nick, she fucking lied to me! We were supposed to be best friends! But she lied! I can't have a friend like that!" I was in the bathroom, and I can hear Nick yelling at Matt.

Chris's POV:
Nick and Matt were yelling at each other for god who knows what. All I knew is Olivia left the room. God she's so fucking annoying. All she does is count on Matt, and I hate seeing Matt like that. Olivia is definitely playing with his god damn emotions.
"Matt." I said as he looked over at me, and stopped arguing with Nick.
"Yeah?"
"We need to talk." We go into my room, and I locked the door.
"So..." Matt says extremely angry which I'm guessing it's from what ever happened a few minutes ago.
"So... I wanted to tell you something about Olivia."
"What about her?" His mood definitely lightened as I started talking about Olivia. Who am I kidding of course Matt wouldn't like Olivia.
"She's playing with you." He furrowed his eyebrows.
"What do you mean she's playing with me? Do you know something I don't?"
"Olivia... she's playing with your emotions, she doesn't like any of us here."

Matt's POV:
"Olivia wouldn't do that, and I know she wouldn't." I kept thinking about it.
"You're just saying this shit so she can get out of your fucking life." I left the room going to the bathroom since Olivia was crying. Nick was next to her keeping her company and comforting her. I had signaled for Nick to leave, I wanted to talk to Olivia alone.

"Hey..." she says, I sat next to her rubbing her back.
"Hey, I uh I'm-"
"I'm sorry." Olivia interrupts.
"I should be the one that's sorry. I started yelling at you instead of listening." I say trying to be as gentle as possible.
"Matt, don't be sorry... I should be. I lied to you saying I was fine and safe, when in reality I wasn't."
"It's all good now. Just promise me you tell me if something's going on with you and your dad." She nodded and we went to go watch a movie in my room.

Nick's POV:
"Yo assholes, you ready?" Chris yells to Matt, Olivia and me.
"Yep!" I rushed downstairs to get snacks and drinks.
"Don't forget my Pepsi!" Chris calls from the front door.
"Yep I know!" I shout back grabbing Olivia some sour patch kids. I went in the fridge getting Matt and Chris there sodas, I already know Matt wants a root beer and Chris wants a Pepsi.
"Just grab me a water please!" Olivia says racing past me. Soon after Matt comes in running faster then ever.
"God damn it!" Matt complained.
"Told you I was faster!" Olivia says putting her hand around her head, and her leg across her other leg to make it seem she was relaxed. Matt was hyperventilating as Olivia's breath was calm and contained.

A few moments later I hopped into the car. Olivia was in the front which was new. Me and Chris sat in the back, and Matt was as usual in the driver seat.
