Change My Mind | Gracie X Olivia

heading home (14)

Pre warning this chapter is rly long✨️

Gracies pov:

"Liv, you have to eat." I said, placing down the fork." Look, I know it's painful, but it'll be more painful when you're staving to death in a hospital on your deathbed."

"Well, I've already been there once this month, and I'm still here," Olivia replied, weakly holding her arms out to try and prove a point before stretching a cut and immediately flinging her arms back in from the pain.

"And look where that's got you." I said, looking her up and down. " Could you please just have one at least?" she looked away from me, knowing how it hurt me whenever she swallowed and winced in pain. "For me?"

She turned her head, looking me in the eyes. "Fine." She said, signalling for me to pick up the fork. Liv couldn't lift her arm up until she was cleared by the doctors. we had an appointment today, so if all goes well She can start lifting her arms and, hopefully, go back home with me.

I had begun to feed her, and we made conversation. It should've been like the most awkward thing on this planet, yknow feeding your best friend isn't the most common experience, but if it was silent, it was comfortable silence if we were making conversation it just flowed we could be talking about the most random shit and we would just click, we were made for one another clicking like a jigsaw.

We entered the large sliding door that held the local hospital, which had become a regular occurrence for us during the span of this week. Liv had gotten better at using the crutches but was still in severe pain. The distinct smell that all medical sights shared had hit my nose like a bus to Regina George, my face scrunching up in disapproval as I looked towards liv, who was still struggling to balance on her crutches. I helped her to take a seat before talking to the receptionist and notifying her that we were here.

Olivia took my hand after I sat down beside her. Today was different from the other appointments because she could get cleared for flying. Everyone was waiting for them back home, not to mention the online support for liv's recovery was insane she felt fully supported for the first time in her life, she worried she might not have that if she came out .. so she was in denial for now. It can't hurt, right?

The nurse called out miss rodrigo, signalling for them to go to the doctor. They headed into the doctors office, Olivia nervously biting the inside of her cheek to the point where the silvery taste of her blood started to fill her mouth to which she began to stop not wantingtocause further injury.

"So I you could lift up your shirt, miss rodrigo just so I can inspect your abdominal cuts." Dr. Manning said as Olivia agreed. He unwrapped the bandage attached around her stomach, observing the cuts. "I have some good news for you and your girlfriend."

"Oh, she's not my - " the girls said in sync, getting cut off by Dr. manning

"You can head home whenever you'd, please. Still no strenuous activity, and you're still on the crutches, but you can be with your family." He said a smile spread across his face. The girls were filled with joy, carefully hugging one another before thanking the man and leaving to go book a flight.

Olivia's pov:

She put down her phone anxiously, biting her inner cheek she sat back in the uncomfortable airport seats. Looking toward gracie she bit her tongue when going to speak not wanting to interfere with the gracefulness of her in her happy place, she was reading a book of poetry that Olivia bought her during the tour as a gift.

Nobody's pov:

gracie smiled, sensing livs eyes carefully watching over her she pretended to look up and over to the younger girl, watching her anxiously shy away. She thought it was cute how she did that every time gracie caught her staring. She noticed the little details like:

•Liv bit inside of her cheek when nervous

•She wore that one jumper a lot, although it didn't smell like her. She couldn't figure out who it did ;)

•livs distinct smell was one of lavender which surprisingly matched well with gracies vanilla perfume

•she was heavily introverted and enjoyed alone time

The girl spent so much time together between tour and Olivia's recovery that they'd subconsciously discovered obscure details about one another they were clicking together in a way like never before even discovering thing about themselves they never could imagine.

~ Olivia's pov

In a strike of confidence, Olivia saw gracie sit up and walk over to her in one foul swoop, gracie took her by the hand and led her into a back corridor of the airport Adrenaline filled the air as Olivia swiftly followed the older girls' lead getting pinned against the wall. The girls breath hitched at the distance, nervously swallowing before attempting to break eye contact to which her chin was lifted by gracie.

"Nervous are we?" Gracie smirked before getting a taste of the brunettes lips. One of her hands made its way behind her head, tangling itself in her chocolate locks. The other delicately balanced itself on her waist, making her begin feeling weak in the knees. She but her lip looking up to gracie, locking eyes with her before smashing their lips together once again.

Fuck, i need to stop these.

Nobody's pov:

The plane landed, and gracie took off her headphones. She saw liv peacefully sleeping. listening to a mix of clairo and Taylor Swift, in the background, she whispers in Olivia's ear. "Taylor Swift just showed up on this plane." livie immediately sprung up, looking around the area before realising she'd been tricked. "How mature?" she said, rolling her eyes before softly punching the older girl in the arm. "It worked, didn't it?" She smirked before getting out of her seat."Come on, the planes landed already."

They left the terminal before Olivia spotted conan and tate holding a sign that read, 'You ok liv?' Causing her to swiftly make her way over to them on the crutches while trying not to hurt herself or fall. tate ran over to try and help gracie, who was carrying both her and livs luggage, and conan ran over to his best friend pausing before going in to hug her trying not to hurt his friend "I missed you so much" Olivia said tightly hugging the taller man before they recoiled.

"I have too much to tell you about so clear your calendar tomorrow,"
