Chapter 23: moving on

"Give me a hug" Andrew opened his arms wide, I ran into his arms and with excitement.

Suddenly, the beeps from the machines beeped faster.

"What's going on?" I asked Tiffany, she gasped, Sara took a step back in fear.

"He's dying!" Tiffany said softly.

"No! ANDREW!"

"Olivia! Olivia!"

I woke up from the horrible nightmare, Tiffany tugged on my arm.

"You fell alseep" she said laughing, I saw Andrew still hooked up to the machines, it was all a dream.

"But, Andrew-"

"Is still in a coma" Tiffany said rubbing my back, "Olivia, I know its hard"

"I have to go" I ran out of the room in fear.

I saw Trey and Xavier chatting away, I walked up to them and place my lips on Trey's. He was taken by surprised, and placed his hands on my low back and pulled me closer to him.

I had no idea what had gotten into me, I felt like a different person for some reason. I felt as if that Andrew waking up was just a fantasy, and I had to move on.

I put my arms around his neck and heard Xavier clear his throat.

"Meet me at my house" I whispered after we pulled away, Trey nodded and I walked off.

I guess I was finally accepting the fact, I would never see Andrew again.

"Trey"

"Olivia"

"Come on in"

Trey walked inside my house and plotted down on my sofa. I sat down next to him, avoiding eye contact.

I played with my fingers and he tapped on the coffee table.

"This is awkward" I blurted, Trey nodded.

"Look, why did you kiss me?" he said staring at me, I shrugged.

"I like you Trey" I mumbled, I couldn't help but think of Andrew when I said that, I had to get him out of my head.

"Olivia, I know you, you don't go up and kiss people, that's not you" he grabbed my hand.

"I like you so much then you will ever imagine" he said, "And I know you still love Andrew" my face froze.

"He is gone"

"He died?!"

"No, I mean, I gave up" I never thought I would give up, Andrew was my everything, my best friend. I miss him so much, I wish I could be with him, but it was time to let go.

"Olivia I'm sorry-"

"Its fine, look Trey, I want to be with you" I said slightly tugging his arm.

"Then how about we go on a date" he said standing up. "Tomorrow, I'll pick you up at 7:00" I nodded.

I stood up and walked him out the door, before he left he placed his lips on mine.

"I'll see you" and like that, he was gone, leaving me lovestruck as ever.

I couldn't stop thinking about Trey, he finally got my mind off Andrew, I felt as if a big ton of bricks had been lifted off my shoulders.
