WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS HAPPENING?  Olive and Jonathan? HUH!! How did she even agree to this? I quickly looked around and saw Alex took out his laptop for something I practically snatched it away from him saying “ im gonna need that love”
I could feel his gaze lingering on me for more than a second when I started speed typing the news URL on the browser. I didn’t take me long, i opened the link and the video played on the screen it was live. Olive was speaking. She was in her best dress. She said

‘ I can’t explain how happy I am to have finally said this to the world, yeahh… well I and Jon have been seeing each other for a while now, unfortunately Mr. Adams is not here with us to witness this very special moment with us, but I’m very very grateful that he gifted me Jonathan., had been it not him I would never have found the love of my life standing here with me, Thank you Mr. Adams’

I couldn’t believe what I was watching and listening this couldn’t be it something must have happened? But what? My olive isn’t that easy to manipulate this can not be right. But is this why she haven’t called me or any of us yet? Did she know we would want to reach her and which is why she switched her phone off? I don’t know whats happening I need to get to her.
After staring at screen and watching the live video play, and seeing olive happily being dragged in the crowd by the paparazzi and journalists. She was also holding Jonathan’s arm who was tugging her along. I was absent minded when I heard someone grunt beside me.
Jeff
He sAw it all, he heard it all, we all know he haven’t confessed anything to olive yet but he loves her truly and goddamn she loves him too. I can only imagine how hard it must be for Jeff to see the love of their life with someone else. I told Jeff
“ Jeff none of this is supposed to happen she can never do this to you, and with JON? Oh hel nahhn he is like the lucifer to the satan that olive’s parents are… something is very wrong here,, something must have happened this is not her, I—”
Jeff got up and left.

I couldn’t take it anymore seeing olive with someone else, so I left from there I could hear sarah saying something but I don’t know what. I was in a daze, oh god I still am, this is not happening I need to get to her I can not just let her go, again. After much difficulty I found her again after I thought I wouldn’t.
After much self talking I opened the browser and searched for the news. Got it they haven’t yet disclosed a date it, we had time. I had time.
I went to the boarding counter of the airport almost running and asked if any other flight was available that could reach us to cali. Fortunetly there was but It was a detour we would have to take the flight and then a car to reach to our destination. Anythinng works.

I told the guys, we were boarding a plane in next 5 minutes and took off. While in the plan I had a lot to think about what might have happened, olive said her parents had been in an accident but clearly that wasn’t it. But then I opened my phone and saw the recent images of the apparently “hottest couple right now” and saw pictures of her with that Jonathan guy, they were laughing and he was grabbing onto her waist, the scene made my blood boil. The next picture was enough for me to break my phone in half he was KISSING her, but the camera was facing her back.
Oh how I wish I could just teleport to her. But, she was my olive…why did she not put up a fight against it if she really did not want this? Does she really like this Jonathan? has she been seeing him all this time? Did he really like her? And if they both like each other who am I to come in between? I’ve been looking for her, waiting, but I never confessed to her about my feelings what if she thought I didn’t like her? But we kissed the other day? But we were both a little drunk then… should I really go an stop this ? if she really likes this Jonathan guy then what?
I’m thinking to much I should just sleep a little and clear my head or it might burst.

Honestly I have no clue what on earth is happening, one moment we were at the beach having fun, now we are boarded in a plane and Olive is getting engaged? Huh? Im so cluless of any of this is happening. I could see Jeff is on the verge of losing his shit, its impressive how he is holding back the anger and Sarah? I’ve never seen her this distraught it hurts me I cannot so anything to make her feel better, luckily we all were sitting together , Jeff’s on the window side, im in the middle and sarah at the aisle side. I looked at her and my stomach went into knots, this helplessness is frustrating. It really is a very bad feeling when you can not help the one you love.
Love? Did I really think that? Who am I kidding I do love her and I planned to tell her tonight I even bought promise rings for us, but given the situation it isn’t the right time to do this. Also I really hope Olive is okay, although she was smiling in those videos, she is not happy I could see that, even though her mouth was smiling her eyes were not. This wass so so different from when she spent time with Jeff. She was literally a five year old giggling.
In whilst of this thinking I suddenly remembered I was afraid of heights and we are fricking flying over thousands of feets. And to my horror the next second thee airplane fell into an airpocket, and the whole aircraft started shaking like it was crashing I could feel my stomach and guts clenching and I  closed my eyes shut, and held onto the seat handles.. as the shitshow was still going, I felt someone hold my hands..
Sarah, she leaned in said, “ its okay, we are okay, im right here, hold onto me” and so I did. Tightly but made sure not to hurt her, she beamed her breathtaking smile at me. I  wished I could her right then, but decided against it, but then her face came towards me and she kissed me not on the lips but on my temple , it was the most affectionate behavior I have felt the last few years.
Right then and there I decided im going to confess tonight only no matter what.

We finally reached cali, after 5 hours and it was a 15 min journey to the house, we rushed to  get a cab and got in, and wen towards the nearest hotel to the house where we would check in. we got ourselves two rooms and asked the waiter to take our luggages. Then we all came out took another  cab and were on our way towards the house.
My heart was pounding like it would come out of my chest, what is going to happen next no one knows I hope everything goes well.
The lights in front of the house was dimly lit, we drived around the fountain to reach the door. As we did I practically jumped out of the car running towards the front door and rang the bell.
A minute or 2 later the door opened and she was standing in front of it.
