Love Triangle (ImmortalHD/SlyFoxHound fanfiction)

Who's hurting now?

*OLIVIA P.O.V.*

**3 months later**

                I sighed and flopped down on my couch. It was a Sunday; the only day I didn’t have work. It was great to be back but then I would just get bored on Sundays. Just like old times.

                I checked my phone for the hundredth time, waiting for my mom to text me back. She and my nieces were coming over and I had made lunch for them... now all I needed were for them to show up and eat it! I scrolled through my apps until clicking on twitter. I thumbed down the feed, not really reading the tweets. A few funny ones caught my eye and I retweeted them. But, then, a very interesting one caught my eye.

“I’m feeling homesick today homies :(” it was Eddie. He hadn’t been on any social networking- including YouTube surprisingly- in months. It was tweeted 10 minutes ago and already had almost 5,000 replies.  Homesick?! He hadn’t been back to Allentown in months. He and Aleks had moved to Colorado last month…

                I clenched my jaw and squeezed my eyes shut. I had to stop keeping track of them. They were over me. It was done. I kept scrolling and saw a tweet from Kevin. I rolled my eyes and didn’t bother reading it. He, on the other hand, was the one I was done with. The day he had left me in our fort... he had stolen $3,000 from me to fly to Colorado and buy a whole fucking apartment down there. Asshole.

                I hit the home button on my phone and locked it. I needed to stop obsessing over Eddie and Aleks. I stood up and absent-mindedly wiped my hands on my jeans. The only good part of them leaving was I was able to get healthy again. I had cut my hair so it fell right above my shoulders and died it darker brown. I had also lost some weight and was finally back down to a size 3 in jeans. It felt good to be happy with my body again. Not completely happy of course, but happier than I had been in about a year.  I had been promoted, in a way, to an artist at Valve. I got to design things like landscapes for games and sketch characters for the 3D designers. It was an overall better position for me, as I got to work more hands on and actually got to interact with other human beings all day. My team and I got along pretty dang well, which most the other teams can’t say.

                Things were looking up for me. If only I could stop living in the past. Having Eddie and Aleks in my life for so long and then they just… disappear one day… was hard for me to grasp.  Although a few of those months I was in a coma, I still knew they were there. I hated breakups.

                There was a knock on my door and I heard little girls giggling. A smile instantly appeared on my face and I skipped to the door and swung it open. My two nieces, Kendall and Mackenzie, stood in front of me, wearing identical dresses and both holding a pink rose. My favorite flower! Kendall and Mackenzie were twins that my brother had with his first wife, Ella. They had gotten divorced but Ella and I were still very close. She lived in Tacoma and the twins loved visiting their Grandma and I when they were with their mom. Ella couldn’t usually come due to her work schedule but her and I got drinks from time to time.

                “Kendall! Mackenzie!” I said excitedly. They were 5. They squealed and giggled and ran around my legs into the living room. I was still smiling as I turned to my mom. “Hey momma,” I said, and gave her a hug.

                “Hey sweetie. How yah doin'?” she asked, pulling away and stepping inside.

                “I’m doing well! I got a promotion at work as an artist, which is great.” I said and gestured for her to follow me into the kitchen.
