Do you know what hurts more? When the person you love so much doesn't loves you back because all they see is the mistakes you have done but not the efforts you put to rectify it.

Olivia's POV:

Today I am so excited, guess what I am going home. Finally it's thanksgiving!

"I will drop you" I rolled my eyes.

"For the hundredth time, I can go by myself."

"It's not safe." I sighed.

"You know he won't listen right?" Dylan spoke.

"Look I don't want to ruin your thanksgiving. I can go myself, I will call you when I reach. You should spend some time with your family" he is acting like a stubborn kid but he is not going to win the argument.

He hugged me tightly "Be safe and share me live location" he kissed my cheek, I nodded.

After two hours of traveling I am finally home. I came a day before thanksgiving so that I can spend time with my family.

"Hi sweetie!! It has been months last I saw you. How are you?" Our maid Martha greeted me with a hug.

"I am fine Martha. How are you?"

"I am fine sweetie. How is college? Did you meet any handsome guy?" She wiggled her eyebrows. 

"Martha!!" I blushed and she laughed.

"Go get fresh, I will serve you dinner."

"Is mom home? Did Rebecca come?" I asked excitedly but she gave me a sad smile and I know the answer. I went to my room and called sam.

"Hi"

"Hi precious"

"I reached home. I know I shared my live location but I am telling because you are overprotective" he chuckled.

"I want you to make sure that you're safe sweetheart. Did you freshen up? Had your dinner?"

"No"

"Don't skip dinner. Bye oli" he hung up.

I took a shower, had my dinner alone and went to bed.

Next morning I saw mom in the living room. She ignored me and I see Rebecca nowhere. Today is Thanksgiving she should be home by now. I spent my day reading books, talking to Sam and helping Martha for dinner.

I was waiting for mom to join me for dinner but she never came. Martha felt bad and she went to call my mom.

"Didn't you do enough? You want a thanksgiving after you killed your father? How can you act like nothing happened after you ruined our family" mom shouted. I can't control my tears I immediately ran into my room.

It has been an hour but still I can't stop crying. My phone started ringing. I cried more when I saw the caller ID. 

"Hello. How is your thanksgiving sweetheart? Did I disturb you? I called you because I want to know whether everything is going good or not" a sob escaped.

"Hello? Oli? What's wrong, why are you crying baby." Mom is correct I killed dad. I ruined our family it's all my fault.

"Oli, are you there?"

"Yes, it didn't go well. Mom is angry. Rebacca didn't care to come home."

"Are you okay?"

"No" I whispered with another sob.

"Wait, I will call you again." he hung up.

It has been two hours. I am staring at the wall blankly. Martha came with dinner but I lost my appetite. My phone rang.

"Come out sweetheart."

"Why?" I am confused.

"Come out" is all he said. 

I came out and looked around, there is Sam and Dylan standing two houses away from my house. My eyes widened. I went to them, sam had a grin on his face.

"What the hell are you doing here? It's too late and you traveled for two hours?"

"Anything for you, precious. You're crying when I called. How do you think I will be okay with that?" He cupped my face and kissed my forehead. Everyday Sam reminds me how lucky I am to have him.

"Come on, let's go."

"Where?"

"You were so excited for thanksgiving I don't want you to be disappointed so we will celebrate thanksgiving. Go pack your stuff, it's getting late." I went back to my room, packed my things and came out. Mom is nowhere but I saw martha.

"You're leaving?"

"Yes"

"With the guy outside?" My eyes widened as she saw.

"He is a friend."

"I am not that dumb sweetie. No friend will come late night just because you are crying. Anyways,  I am happy for you, you went through a lot and you deserve to be loved. Go safe and call me when you reach" I blushed and nodded my head.

It has been an hour and I am curious to know where we are going. Sam said it's a surprise.

"Where are we going?"

"This is the tenth time you are asking but the answer will be the same, it's a surprise."

"Dylan you can tell right?" I pouted.

"You will know princess, just wait for one more hour."
