Change My Mind | Gracie X Olivia

memories (23)

"Gracie! gracie! Come quick!" Was heard from Audrey she she yelled across the house, followed by the painfully slow footsteps of a wreaked gracie decending  the stairs "camrons getting arrested!" Audrey continued, which made the footsteps begin to race. In less than a second, a gracie had appeared on the couch next to Audrey with her eyes glued to the screen.

A visual of Cameron fucking macy being dragged into a cop car with his hands handcuffed behind him was displayed across the screen as the TV shouted to her. "Cameron macy accused of abuse, rape, spiking food and lying to police. His friends say he's innocent, but many sources report otherwise. he does, however, have a criminal record showing he's been held overnight by police on 2 other occasions from a bar fights. Cameron is set to go to court later this month with his exes Olivia rodrigo and conan gray expected to take the stand you'll be sure to know that this surely won't be the last you hear of this case."

Gracie and Audrey's eyes widened at the TV that sat before them looking toward one another while utterly speechless.
"What does this mean for you and olivia, gracie?" Audrey asked, shifting her focus to the girl that sat next to her. Gracie looked down into her knees, biting down on her lip as she processed the news she had just heard.
What did this mean for her and liv?
"Audrey, I don't know. I mean, he's in custody, and he's going to go to jail because I already know my...  Olivia is going to testify against him, and I might have to as well." Gracie said, bringing her head from her knees and running her hands through her hair as she spoke.

"This means you get to go back to la, and best of all, you get to see her." Audrey said, holding onto gracies hand that lay on the couch beside her.
"But I don't want to leave you. We've got to hang out so much in the last two months." Gracie said, her eyes tearing up at the thought of leaving her behind.

"Oh, you consider me making sure you eat and real food at that not just white cheddar mac and cheese hanging out or would you rather consider me making sure you dont drink yourself to death hanging out? Either way, there's no way you thought I was just gonna let you leave alone in the condition you're in.

It's been a couple of months since gracie left more, specifically 8. Olivia saw through her instagram that she had a new boy... leo Stirling famous actor a bit of a Lookalike but maybe she was looking for hope in the wreakage of her life, she released a new album too called "good riddance" Olivia could never bring herself to listen to it though. Even the thought of her just killed her. All liv had of her was the note she left saying:

"Dear, olivia
I know you'll have questions that may never be answered, but just know I never wanted to do this. After you read this, you won't see me again, and don't even try and reach out or contact me for your own good, I know he'll find out eventually.

I'm sorry.
                       Love gracie"

After reading her note for the first time, harsh sobbs had choked out of her mouth, but in the present day, few tears welled in her eyes though they were still highly prominent. Even after all this time of separation. Somehow, it still hurt the same if not more than it did when she first left. Of course, there was a stage of denial towards her feelings that she had to overcome on her own. Her phone dinged as her first tears were on the brink of falling as a distraction from her recently overwhelming sorrow she checked the message.

She eagerly followed the girl's instructions, turning on her phone to read last night's news recap. She almost instantly spotted the report he was talking about, "Cameron macy, arrested and charged with abuse and rape as well as other offences," obviously this peaked her interest so she intently read the rest of the report in an almost captivated hustle through the words. Right as the report was coming to its end, an eager knock was heard from her door. She finished her paragraph and made her way over to the apartment door with her grey sweatpants dragging across the floor. She swiftly opened the door to see gracie? With a bouquet of assorted purple flowers, but the roses caught her eye, it was wrapped in a makeshift wrapping made of backwards wrapping paper and ludicrous amounts of tape.

"Hey, liv... oh, these are um for you, " gracie said, stumbling over her words and holding out the bouquet. It was a cute sight that held pain through her body. Her eyes welled in tears as panic settled through gracie's body. Was she mad at me? She had the right. As the overthinking struck over her, she felt a girl jump onto her, hugging her like a koala. Liv jumped off her and began to tear up with the realisation of the reality of it all. Olivia stepped back and looked to the floor. 

"Gracie... why did you leave and without even warning me! Then you get a boyfriend, release an album, and leave me in the dust. It's like you didn't wven to care! We had something, and whether that was friendship or romance, don't care. You had no right to just disappear like that. But the worst part is i dont even know why you vanished. So...  Why?" Olivia asked with a shadow casted over her eyes. She knew how hard it was for liv it was hard for her too, but she could never imagine what she had put liv through. Their distance became apparent, one in the apartment one in the hallway with a thin door frame separating them though they were 2 worlds apart.

"Gracie, why!"

"Please, Liv, it's hard to explain -"

"Please, explain it. We have all night, so explain. I'll listen, promise, " Olivia begged, dragging the girl into her house and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I can't.. " Gracie said, her voice shaking as she spoke though trying to stay composed. "Not now, not today he's not gone." She continued standing up to leave in her panic.

"Please, gracie, I deserve to know the truth," she begged, grabbing gracies hand and looking into her greeny brown eyes. Gracie looked back, meeting livs eyes, and her brain flashing back to that kiss they were in a room full of people all focus on them but it felt like they were on their own planet where they could live in peace. Of course, this was always just a fantasy. Nobody could let that happen even them.

"Fine."

A/n: it's sad but happy, but I'm also sorry if you hate me. Sorry this took a while. I needed to plot the first few chapters of Act 2, and it's also assessment season, so I wanna kms (kidding, probably)
