The Wall We Built

Chapter 24

We were on the road to the lake house in Harrison... I was so excited to go and hangout with Angel, Max, and Oliver... Plus who ever else was going to be their.

On the way to the lake house Oliver sat next to me in the back seat and Max and Angel were sitting in the front seat. I fell asleep about an hour into the drive. I feel asleep on Oliver's shoulder.

When I woke up Oliver was stating at me in amazement. I smiled at him and then sat up and looked out the window.

"It's so beautiful out here." I said.

Oliver was still gazing down at me and said "yes... Amazingly gorgeous."

I laid my head back on his shoulder and stared out the window. Angel turned around and stared at us and took a picture. "Awww how cute."

I sat up and flipped her off. I laid my head back on his shoulder and fell back asleep.

................

Oliver lightly shook me and said "Were here sleeping beauty."

I sat up and stretched. "Yay." I yawned.

Oliver giggled and said. "Now we need to make sure you don't sleep the whole time we are here so you can actually hang out with us."

I giggled and got out of the car. I walked around to the back of the vehicle and grabbed my bags. "Okay oliver show me around."

He smiled at me and nodded. He tan up to the cabin dropped his bags inside... He ran back grabbed my bags and said "wait right here."

I stopped walking and crossed my arms. "Okay." I said with a worried and frustrated tone.

He came back and picked me up as if I was his bride and we were walking into our new house that's we were going to live in together for the rest of our lives. I struggled for a few seconds and then gave up knowing that I wasn't going to win. He walked in the house and showed me all the bedrooms and where everything was.
"Okay now you need to take me down to the lake and through the forest.". He looked at me with a expression that basically said 'Oh really... You expect me to do all that for you?".
He looked at me and smiled... He took my hand and pulled me out the front door.

As we were walking through everything he was showing me all the most beautiful spots. And after being out for about two hours we walked back. It was getting dark and when we walked through the door Max asked "Do you want to go out and start a fire."

"Yeah Lydia and I can go and find some firewood." Oliver replied.

.............

We search for about twenty minutes and we found a crap ton of wood.

When we got back to the cabin Max and Angel were waiting on the couch.
I walked to the front door and said "Oliver has the fire started if you guys want to come out to the deck."

Angel nodded and they both stood up and walked toward the door. "So how's the stay so far... Even though we haven't been here very long."

"Its fun." Angel replied.

Max didn't say anything he just nodded and smiled. Him and Angel have been acting really weird. They were walking awkwardly far away. They were being very suspicious.

When we got over to the fire pit I walked over to oliver and sat down next to him.

He looked at me and said "Follow me... I want to show you something."

He stood up and walked off the porch and started walking toward the lake.
He stopped at the edge of the water and I stopped right next to him and instantly something with Oliver changed.

He put his hands in his pockets before I could grab his hand. "Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Everything is fine... Why wouldn't it be." He said with a snappy tone.

"Sorry for asking." I turned and began to walk away.

Why would he just instantly change like that... The whole way here and all day he has been perfectly fine. I got back to the fire pit and told Max and Angel that I was going to bed.

..............

At about midnight Oliver snook into my room and woke me up.

"What time is it?" I asked quietly not knowing what time it was.
"Its about twelve thirty." He replied.
"Where is Max and Angel?"
"They fell asleep on the couch... They were watching a movie."

I laid my head back down on the pillow and rubbed my eyes. I stared up at the black nothingness for a few seconds and then grabbed my phone to see what time it actually was. It was twelve thirty. I sat up and Oliver began to talk.

"I'm sorry about earlier... I always push people away when they get to close. I haven't told very many people very much about my self. I feel like sometimes I can't trust people... But around you I feel like I can trust you with anything an.." I cut him off before he could speak again.

"Why are you telling me this... I don't need a long explanation on why you were being a jerk. Its not my fault you have trust issues." I flopped backwards on the bed and took in a deep breath.

Oliver stood up and opened the door... He looked back at me and the walked out. I sat up and thought about what would happen if I didn't get out of bed a fix what I said.
