When Good Girls Meet Bad Endings

SIX

Olivia:

I knocked on the door to Aaron's house and Uncle Connor opened the door.

-"Hey Liv. What brings you here?" He smiled.

-"Hey Uncle Connor,is Aaron inside?" I asked as I peeked inside.

He raised his eyebrows and smirked.

-"Suuuuure, my lil' old son is on his room. Come in." He held the door open.

I thanked him and I rushed upstairs to Aaron's room. I opened the door and saw him on his bed, scrolling through his phone and listening to music through his earbuds. His glasses were next to him, his hair was a mess and he was wearing a hoodie.

-"AARON!" I yelled trying to get him to notice me.

-"AH!" He let out a scream as he jolted from his bed and put his glasses on. "Damnit Olivia you scared me!"

I took a deep breath as I cleared my throat.

-"You are going to freak out."

He clutched his hands to his chest while taking deep breaths to calm his racing heart down.

-"You better hope you didn't give me a heart attack. I don't wanna die in my teenage years."
He said.

-"You are going to freak out." I repeated and closed his door.

His eyes darted from the door to me.

-"Why do I have a feeling I'm not going to like whatever it is you'll tell me?"

-"Because maybe you won't." I admitted and looked at him.

-"You are going to give me anxiety. What is it?" He said and he leaned his head backwards.

-"I decided to solve the Nic Da Silva case." I announced and a proud smile played on my lips.

   His head snapped back up as he stared at me in disbelief.My smirk remained though.

-"You...You WHAT now!?" He practically yelled but I motioned for him to be quiet.

-"I told you,you'd freak out!"

  He let out a frustrated groan, running his hands through his hair.

-"Are you serious Liv? You really think going all detective is a good idea? The police,his own dad, couldn't find anything on him!" He said.

-"Why would they drop the case though? And plus seeing Stella like that...Breaks something in me." I pushed my hair behind me,only for it to fall back in my eyes again.

-"Yes I get it." He sighed, "But do you really think you have a chance?"

-"You underestimate me,Aaron Reynolds." I leaned forward.

   To my surprise,Aaron leaned forward as well,matching my gaze as he spoke.

-"Oh I don't underestimate you at all Agent Livie.I know you are smart,I know you'll have this figured out. But this isn't a game,Olivia. This is serious. And you could get yourself into serious danger if you get involved with this case."

-"That's why, I need all the help I can get.Including yours."  I smiled.

-"And I get it I don't have a choice in this?" He sighed.
 
  I reached out and fixed his glasses. He flinched under my touch.

-"Nope." I said and dropped my hand to my side.

-"Great. Just great. Okay fine. I'll help you. You are stubborn,reckless,idiotic,probably going to get us all into some serious danger—"
