SPELIVIA 2 ?

hold me

"hey, what's up baby?" spencer picks up and answers, giving his girlfriend a virtual peck on the lips. olivia chuckles it off, not wanting him to already figure out that she's been feeling off.

"hey baby. how's new york?"

"to be real with you, it's been amazing. the atmosphere, the buildings, the crowds of people walking around [having a good time], and the amazing opportunities that's been presented, it's a whole experience. but, not of it feels right without you."

olivia pouts, trying her best not to tear up. a month has gone by and it's hitting her harder that he's not there with her or vice versa. with her busy schedule at the tribute, she barely has time to book a flight and visit him before he was able to come back home.

"god, i miss you so much. i'm really sorry i'm not there to visit."

"hey, don't worry about it. it's all good. i feel more bad for not facetiming you as often. this month has been hella busy for me. having three games, and now having one left. but, after that, i'm gonna be holding you in our bed until i'm ready to let you go."

"oh trust me, you're never leaving my sight by the time you get here." olivia chuckles sadly.

"um... other than that, game wise, it's been the usual. drills and a lot of hard tackles. nothing that interesting. what about you? how's work been treating you?"

"ah, you know the usual." she repeats back, shrugging her shoulders. spencer furrows his eyebrows a bit. "nothing exciting?"

"unless you count the countless articles that were being due on time for the past month interesting, then yeah, it's been a exciting time."

he chuckles at her sarcasm. he then sees liv look down, slowly showing a frown as she holds the vegas necklace. whenever she would feel down, she would hold it as a place of comfort, even when her boyfriend is not in her presence. it calms her a lot.

"hey, don't worry. i'm gonna be home soon. and we will be able to make up for the time we lost. i promise... ok?" being on the brink of tears, she looks up, showing a fake smile, still holding onto the piece of jewelry for dear life.

"ok. well, i know it's late and you probably have to go to bed now. you have one more practice before your game tomorrow."

"aw, but i wanna stay on the phone and talk to my baby. i was able to make time this time of night to finally communicate with you. and it's like... you don't wanna do that..." he hilariously pouts like a child as olivia laughs, giving in and talking on the phone all night until they were inches away from falling asleep.

a lot of time goes by and they unfortunately have to end their call. "babe, it's 3am, you gotta go. i'mma text or call you good luck. i love you so much. and i can't wait for you to come home."

"alright baby, i love you too. i miss u girl. cant wait to see you. and thank you. goodnight." liv responds back before giving him kisses and hanging up.

once the call ends, she drops her phone on the bed, with instant sobs coming out of her mouth. she holds her pillow, as some sort of comfort, knowing her favorite person is not with her right now. god, she misses him. she misses him a lot. and she honestly feels empty and lonely without him near her.

every time she sees spencer go through a hard tackle or a knockout that lasts a few seconds, her worry grows. she didn't want to think of the worse when it came to spencer and his health. god forbid, she had to see spencer in the hospital again. the night when he was shot is a night she can't get out of her head, even if she tried anything to block it out.
