Best Friends Forever: College Years

Chapter Three

Olivia pov

???: Come on, Olivia. Everyone is worried about you. 

I looked up at my new friend. He smiled at me and held his hand out.

I hesitated and finally gave in. He puled me into a hug and I returned it. I know he wouldn't take no for an answer.

We walked back into the diner. Tears still streaming down my cheeks. He had his arms around me tight to comfort me. Alexis and Lizzie immediately attacked me into a hug after I took off my jacket. They hugged me tight. I couldn't hug back because my arms were stuck.

They pulled away with weak smiles on their faces but sadness in their eyes.

They turned and looked at our new friend with smiles.

Lizzie: I'm so glad that you found her thanks!

Alexis: Yeah thanks Tyler. She can't-

She said can't looking at me and looked back at Ty.

Alexis: Just run away like that.

I rolled my eyes.

Olivia: I'm a big girl, ok Alex?! I can handle myself, so just fuck off!

I snapped at her but I immediately regret it because I know I'm just letting my anger get to me. They are just worried about me. I should be grateful, not snap at them.

Olivia: Sorry Alex, didn't mean it like that. My anger and sadness is getting the best of me.

Alexis: It's ok Livi. I know.

She hugged me and I hugged back. I started crying again.

Lizzie: I'm seriously gonna kill, Chase.

Olivia: Why did he have to stood me up?! Why?! Was I not a great girlfriend? Was I not pretty enough for him? What the fuck did I do wrong? I...

Alexis shush me and stroke my hair. I sob harder in Alexis shoulders. She hugs me tighter.

Alexis: No! That isn't true. You were a good girlfriend. It was all Chase in this.

Dylan: She really loves him, huh?

Jackson: A lot. They been through a lot together. Some bad but most of them are good.

Ethan: This isn't like Chase. I known him for a long time. I know he would never hurt Olivia like this.

Alexis: Uh guys, its Ashley that changed him.

Olivia: Don't say her name! We are now refering her as crusty-ass bitch.

Alexis: Sorry. I meant that crusty-ass bitch.

Lizzie: We know. But don't think it has anything to do with it. It's all him. It's his fault.

Ethan: Guys, we should cancel our tickets for the movies to stay with Olivia.

Lizzie: Good point.

Olivia: No. Go. I'll be fine.

I wiped my tears away with a napkin Ethan gave me. I smiled weakly at him.

Alexis: Are you sure Livi? If you need us, we'll be here for you. We can forget about the movies.

Everyone but Olivia: Yeah!

Olivia: No, seriously go. I'll be fine. I'm just gonna hang here for a while. I'll be fine.

Jackson: You sure?
