Chapter 5

there will be mentions of self-harm, anxiety and panic attacks throughout the book so I will not put any more trigger warnings

Olivia's POV:

I woke up. It was the next morning. I checked the time, it was 9 am shit I slept in. I quickly get up from the bed and started walking towards my room, I got to my room and started packing up my stuff I knew Taylor would probably return me to the orphanage because of last night's event so I started packing my stuff hastily.

Nobody's POV:

Taylor was cooking breakfast downstairs and heard Olivia upstairs, so went upstairs. As Taylor opened the door she saw Olivia packing up her stuff.

"Good morning Olivia.. why-why are you packing up your stuff?" Taylor asked

Olivia was startled and dropped the stuff and looked down

Taylor remembered that Olivia was selectively mute, so she wouldn't talk. Taylor decides to take a different approach. Taylor realized that Olivia was packing her stuff because she thought that Taylor would return her to the orphanage.

"Sweetie... you are not going anywhere.. everything is okay I am not returning you to the orphanage" Taylor spoke

Olivia nodded still looking down.

Taylor frowned a bit seeing that the girl wouldn't even make eye contact but taylor already knew that she had to be sensitive about Olivia's selective mutism.

"honey freshen up and come downstairs ill make breakfast for you" taylor spoke

Olivia nodded as Taylor left her room.

Olivia went inside the bathroom brushed her teeth, took a shower, got ready and went downstairs.

Taylor smiled at olivia and served her some pancakes,

taylor decided to leave the kitchen so that olivia could eat comfortably by herself.

After 30 minutes taylor walked in saw that Olivia had almost finished her breakfast.

"hi honey.. was it good?"

Olivia nodded still not making eye contact.

after a few minutes of silence taylor spoke
"sweetie we need to talk about yesterday night"

Olivia tensed and nodded

"come on we will talk at the couch"

Olivia followed Taylor and sat down beside her while maintaining some distance. Taylor pulled Olivia closer to her and begin speaking.

"darling I wont ask you any questions.. I understand what had happened yesterday I just want you to know that I will always be there for you, I will help you heal, I love you so much"

Olivia was shocked after hearing this, Olivia nodded while trying not to cry.

"but darling.. I need you to stop using these kinds of coping methods, can we go to your room and you hand me the stuff you use to hurt yourself" Taylor spoke

Olivia hesitantly nodded

Both the girls headed towards Olivia's room, taylor handed her a small basket.

"my sweet girl, can you put all the stuff you used in this basket? I am standing outside your room"

Olivia went inside her room after 15 minutes she came out taylor's eyes widened as she saw the amount of blades in the basket. Olivia started crying looking down.

"shh shh its okay sweetie its fine ill throw these out, everything will be okay" taylor spoke while rubbing olivia's back.

taylor took the basket from her and went outside and carefully disposed of all the stuff, she returned back and hugged Olivia.
