Lovatic Escape: Two Weeks With Demi

Chapter 12: Hearts Don't Lie

(Olivia's P.O.V)

After Demi left, Anastasia started to walk back upstairs and I followed suit. As soon as I reached the room I headed straight towards the washroom because I didn't want Anastasia to catch me crying. Yes, that song was really meant for Shreya. I poured out all my emotions into that song. I closed the bathroom door behind me and leaning against it, slowly sunk to the bathroom floor as tears trickled down my cheeks, I hid my face in my hands and sobbed, careful not to make any noise,

(Anastasia's P.O.V.)

I knew Olivia would break down. I didn't intrude and mostly kept to myself in order to give her some space. But I started to get worried after half an hour, so I softly knocked on the door.

"Liv, are you okay?"

I heard a few splashes of water then the door creaked open and Olivia emerged, her face wet from the water she had splashed on her face and her eyes bloodshot. She tried to say something, but I stopped her and just hugged her.

"It hurts, it hurts so bad..." Olivia choked out.

"I know, Liv, I know...I'm sorry."

"She'd never feel the same way, would she?" Olivia softly cried into my shoulder.

I stiffened up a bit as the image of Shreya touching her rose shaped earring, with tears running down her cheeks flashed in front of my eyes.

"Liv, I think she feels the same way."

(Olivia's P.O.V)

"Liv, I think she feels the same way."

I froze and pulled away from Anastasia, "What do you mean Ana? How do you know?"

Anastasia smiled softly, "I wish you had seen Shreya touching her earring when you sang the first lyric. When you were singing the bridge, she had tears rolling down her cheeks like a waterfall."

"No way." I said.

"Yes, Liv. I saw the way she was looking at you. She feels the same way, but maybe she is scared due to her past heartbreaks? Either way, don't hold back, Liv, tell her how you feel."

I thought for a moment. Maybe Ana was right. Maybe I should tell Shreya how I feel. This Lovatic Escape could be my only chance to reclaim what I once lost.

I sighed, "Fine, Ana, I will try."

"Yes, that's the spirit. Now, let's sleep, tomorrow we have to go at Demi's house." Anastasia said.

"Thank you, Ana, thank you so much.'' I said, wiping away the last few stray tears.

"Hey, this is what friends are for, right?" Anastasia smiled.

(Shreya's P.O.V.)

I sat there on the couch for god knows how long. My heart was beating so fast like it wanted to pop out. I couldn't think of any way to put my feelings into words.

I wish I had told Olivia how I feel about her that night...

Suddenly an image flashed in front of my eyes.

An image of my very last tweet – the one I had posted before I quit all my socials.

"Do they even remember my last tweet?" I thought, "Hmmm, let's see."

An idea came to my mind and I got up from the couch, smiling softly.

(Demi's P.O.V.)

As I entered my house, the soft glow of light from the living room caught my attention. I proceeded towards the living room to find Jordan on the couch with a cup of tea in his hand, watching the news. When he saw me, he shot me a cheeky grin.

"Hey babe," he said in a warm voice, "How'd the first meeting with the lovatics go?"

"It went great!" I said enthusiastically, "They are so talented and lovely. Each one has a unique talent of their own and are so nice in general. Oh, and I invited them over for breakfast tomorrow."

"Great," he smiled, "I'll have a chance to get to know them as well."

"Wait, I have an idea. Let's create a WhatsApp group chat. I have all of their phone numbers, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Jordan focused his attention back on the news as I repeatedly clicked on my phone to create a group chat. A mischievous thought came to my mind and I added Jordan into the group as well and wrote out a welcome message. Immediately Jordan's phone chimed and he pulled it out. Looking at his notifications he started laughing, "Babe, you added me as well?" he said in an amused voice.

"Of course! You are a Lovatic too!"

Both of us burst into laughter. The night rolled on as we had our dinner and went to sleep, excited for the next day.
