The rest of the day passed in a haze of normalcy for Jordyn. Despite the cruel message from Jacob, she found solace in the company of her brother and Hailey. The three of them spent the day laughing, sharing stories, and even playing an impromptu game of Scrabble, which Hailey won by a landslide upsetting both biebers as they were competitive as hell. Jordyn felt a sense of warmth and security just being with loved ones having light hearted fun.

Meanwhile, back in Temecula, Olivia and Iris were enjoying the morning with Olivia's parents. They spent time reminiscing about old times, flipping through photo albums, and laughing at childhood memories. Olivia felt a profound sense of relief knowing that her parents accepted her for who she was.

Olivia: I never realized how much I missed being home.
Mom: We're always here for you, Olivia. No matter what.
Dad: And that goes for Iris too. You're part of the family, kiddo you've basically become our adopted child
Iris: hahaha Thankyou , Mr. and Mrs. Rodrigo. It means a lot liv feels like a sister to me

Later in the day, Olivia decided it was time to head back to her apartment. As they packed their bags and got ready to leave, Olivia's parents made them promise to visit more often.

Mom: Don't be strangers, okay? We want to see more of you both.
Olivia: We promise, Mom.

With a final round of hugs, Olivia and Iris set off, the drive back filled with lighthearted chatter and plans for the future. Olivia felt a renewed sense of confidence and determination. She knew that she could face whatever challenges lay ahead with the support of her family and friends.
Olivia's phone buzzed with a message from Jordyn.

Jordyn: hey Goodmorning Liv, just wanted to check in see how your doing?

Olivia smiled, quickly typing out a response.

Olivia: Good everything is normal and they're super supportive just like last night, if anything they just missed me we caught up all morning. How are you holding up?
Jordyn: I'm okay. Had a bit of a rough morning i'll tell you later on the phone or if i see you, but i've been with Justin and Haileyand making music with my brother so
Olivia: I'm glad to hear, well call me when your free or i'll call you when i get home see what your up too?
Jordyn: will do

As they arrived back at their apartment, Olivia and Iris spent the rest of the evening relaxing at home, watching movies, and enjoying each other's company. Olivia felt a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a long time. She knew that the journey ahead wouldn't be easy with the public scrutinizing her as a lesbian public figure but with her loved ones by her side, she felt ready to handle the outside hate she'd receive from all areas but despite the public she felt at peace with everyone she loved excepting her. an hour or two had passed when olivia's phone lit up with a text form jordy asking if she was free to hangout?
Olivia smiled immediately typing back yes and jordyn was going to come over.

meanwhile jordyn had left her brother house as hailey and herself had spent most of the day hangout out with eachother and hailey giving her advice. When jordyn was on her way to olivia she stopped bye the market to grab olivia's favorite snack and some flowers as a kind gesture.

As Jordyn pulled into the parking lot of Olivia's apartment complex, she felt a flutter of nerves in her stomach. The day had been emotionally taxing, and though she found solace in spending time with her brother and Hailey, she couldn't shake the lingering anxiety gnawing at the back of her mind.
