A little joke, a vibrant smile, behaving like a weird kid - all these little little things sometimes is what all we need...to feel alive.

OLIVIA'S P.O.V :

Trying hard to put my messed up thoughts away, I switch on my t.v. but I failed, I tried to read a new novel but again ....I failed,my lonesome apartment could not get my thoughts away from his words - I would never date a girl like you...like 'me'...Me.

I wanted to cry...cry out loud, as if my own life is mocking at me, but I'm not the one who show her weakness, and just because of some random arrogant idiot who think that he owns the world!I was never like this,but why?why today? The same words were said to me, years back, by that beauty queen...that bitch...Marita.

When I was in Orphanage she told me, but I never believed her when she said - nobody will date a girl like you, you are an ugly pumpkin you know!you dont even know how to use an eyeliner. I joked about her comment and made many other friends there who told me I was kind and beautiful.

I'm not going to be all gloomy or sad just because of him, I have always believed in myself,my god, vague memories of my beautiful aunt who told me that a good book and some true friends should be one's biggest treasure. She told me that she knew my mother who was as kind as I am, whenever I was done crying because of Mark's rude comments when we fought, she would hold me strong,as if no one in the world could love me as her,she was like my mother.

She and uncle Watson adopted me,but for a month only, before I took a decision to let them live their life as Mr. Watson was a busy man and she could not give him time(because of me). Now, the lovely couple is touring around the world,leaving me behind,but no! I am happy for them more than how much I am sad for myself. So I moved here. I am basically an intern for Vogue Magazine, my passion for blogging was always strong...stronger than I thought.

So summing this up, I can say, there was only one person who I can really call as Mine....Mark, I decided to call him, for one more time....15th time these two days,he's busy may be. After eating half of my sandwich and some cereal, the phone beeped. It was his message.

Hey I'm fine Olivia. Bit busy right now,call you tomorrow.

I was going to type quickly - I'm good or miss you or love you but he didn't inquire about my well being, like those good old days, where he used to ask about me. He is behaving different from the past few months, the old Mark is.....Different now.

No!no! don't think that Olivia, don't behave like a typical clingy girlfriend who complains about these little nonsense things!He is busy right now, poor him, I trust him, he told me a few days before to trust him...whatever he is earning is for our own future....for our own good.

I decided to call Stephanie but soon rejected the idea, no more troubling my best friend for small small things. Talking about Stephanie, she always hated Mark's guts for ignoring me, she was always sure that he cheated me but....

But How could I believe ...Its bloody 7 years of relationship, and for me, its impossible to go back.

She told me that he sugarcoated his words to make me believe,so that I always stay with him, so that I fall in love but he won't. Stephanie even said that he has changed...changed a lot or was never the one which I imagined or he pretended.

He always was after you but never understood the real you....What the hell!! Olivia move onnn....,

she spat these words at me, once when he forced me to his room when he was drunk. Again with my right and left part of brain conflicting, Is he really cheating on me ? but what about his promises? he was the best I could get. A girl like Me could get...just what the stranger said. I literally need to get some fresh air as an escape from all this hellhole.

Chilling cold winter breeze hit my arms as I walk in my white floral half sleeves top and shorts. Yeah I am walking, as I don't have a mode of convenience nor a ride, I enjoy walking but when the destination is far away I take a cab.

Today is different from the other days, my legs are getting killed, may be because it's very cold outside, and my mind is super hot(not funny!!). I am feeling immense pain physically as well as emotionally, I get rid of these feelings somehow alone but....today....that stranger...No! I will never think of you, You Bitchy Bitch!! I mentally shout, Guys are not bitch Olivia they are Dogs, Such Guys - I mentally correct myself.

That serene park and its swings,its slides always brings a smile to my face, whenever I come here. I sit here on an old bench seeing the kids shout,run and play,they are innocent,they are alive more than me. God!! Why...why in the world we grow old, I am seriously a mental case now, an ugly girl, who has nobody.

"I know why are you crying" A guy with blue-grayish eyes seemed to be in thought, a few steps away. I gasp at his sudden appearance like a mystery man,seeing me cry my eyes out. And how do he know why I am crying? Is he a stalker....nooooo plzzz!!!

"What do you mean you know?" I ask between sobs.

"You want that swing. Do youuu lady?" He fake cried, pouting. His energy and a failed attempt at making me smile made me chuckle a bit. He is such a child.

"Or are you afraid of swings...hmmm...You are. Admit defeatttt!!" he yelled putting his fist towards the sky, imitating some Power-Rangers. I can't help but to laugh at his cute drama.

"A superwoman like me is never afraid" I fake-scowled at him, flipping my hairs back. I sure as hell want to contribute to his kind act.

"Tooooo the swingssss" he pointed to the swings dramatically, I loved his energy. To find a guy like him is a rare thing you know.

In a fraction of time we were sitting on the swings,laughing,making childish jokes and challenging each other to go higher and higher. To say I enjoyed was the least, I had the time of my life. The old times where no one could go back but pretend to be a child, I was again alive with this person whose name I asked was Louis.

Surname I don't remember.

One thing is for sure - he is my Knight in shining armor for today. He is a great person inside and out as I get to know him...

Next is all Zayn's p.o.v my dear directioners.... Hope you are enjoying...
