Oliver’s Point of View
Abby had left over an hour ago to go to Mason’s apartment to get some of her things and she isn’t back yet. Even though she told me not to, I’m starting to worry. Scarlett has been awake for a few minutes and she is just looking around the room; what can you do with a week old baby? Nothing, that’s what. I am honestly not over this whole her cheating on me thing; I don’t care if I sound like a teenage girl, it hurt me like hell. When I saw them together I felt like I got stabbed in the chest and then got half of me ripped out, and that’s exactly what happened; I lost my other half. I looked down at the sleeping Scarlett in my arms; I had just gotten her to sleep after she had her bottle. They don’t do much they eat, sleep, cry, and poop and that’s about it. Don’t get me wrong I love her to pieces, it’s just I can’t wait until she starts to smile and make little noises and all of that fun stuff. And I hope I can work something out with Abby so that I can watch her grow up, I don’t want to miss anything. Is it bad that after everything she did to me I still love Abby? I always have, I never stopped. She was my biggest crush in high school, but since I was a year older than her I never really got a chance to talk to her; besides, I was the freak kid who nobody wanted to talk to or be friends with. Of course except Maxy and eventually Matty. Me and Matty always talked but never really became friends until high school. I looked down at my daughter in my arms and she was starting to drift off to sleep again to I decided to put her back upstairs in her bassinet. There was a knock at the door so I ran back down stairs once she was down. “Coming!” I said whilst walking downstairs because they kept knocking. I opened the door and Abby was standing there. “I forgot my key…” she said I just nodded and began to walk back inside but she stopped me by grabbing my arm. She pulled me out onto the porch and looked me in the eyes; I studied her eyes and knew she had something on her mind. “Is there any way for there to be a future for us?” she asked and I really didn’t know, was there?
Flashback
I pulled into the driveway behind her and walked up to the front door. I grabbed the spare key from the plant where she keeps it and silently let myself in. I crept upstairs because she wasn’t in the kitchen or the living room. I heard soft music coming from her room and I peered in and didn’t see anyone. I opened the door, “Abby…” I asked quietly and I looked over by the window and was shocked by what I saw. “Abby…” I said a bit louder and she whirled around and her eyes got huge. “Oli… Oli, Babe, I can explain.” She pleaded and I just stood there for a second before I turned on my heels and walked swiftly downstairs and out to my car. She got out to me before I could open my car door. “Oli, talk to me.” She begged and I turned to her. “What is there to talk about? You wouldn’t talk to me and you were cheating on me; what else is there to say?” I spat and she looked taken back. “Oli, no you can’t leave; I need you.” She said and I rolled my eyes. “I’m sorry, did I forgot to get my recently lied to card stamped? Quit it with the lies; if you ‘needed me’ then you would’ve fucking called me instead of cheating on me!” I yelled and she began to cry. “Oli, don’t do this.” She whispered and I just laughed. “Oh, right; I forgot this is my fault. I made you cheat on me and I shouldn’t be mad at you, right? Well think again sweetheart, that’s not how this works. Next time, before you cheat on someone, make sure it isn’t someone who actually cares about you.” I said before getting in my car and speeding back to the venue. I ran backstage once I parked my car. I went into the greenroom and slid down the wall and hid my face from the guys; tears were threatening to spill from my eyes. I slid the tiny black velvet box out my pocket and opened it and examined the silver ring with two small sapphire heart in it and diamond studded sides; the one that was my grandmothers and was in the time capsule. I was going to propose to Abby tonight, but obviously that’s not going to happen now. I can’t believe she’d cheat on me; and with Mason of all people.
End Flashback
“I don’t know Abby, you have no idea how much it hurt me and still hurts me. You were planning on raising the baby with him; it was our baby, not his. Did I do something wrong to deserve all of this, because if I did then please do share?” I said sternly and pulled away from the grip she had on my arms. Her lip began to quiver and I just couldn’t deal with this right now, I went back inside and went up to Matt’s Room. I walked into his washroom and locked the door behind me.
Abby’s Point of View
Oli pulled out of my grip and walked back into the house, I blinked away my tears and went back out to my car to get my bags; was it a mistake coming back? Whatever if he’s going to be like this then let him, it’ not my problem. I grabbed my bags and put them in the front foyer; I shut the front door then went into the kitchen. I pulled out a stack of papers and a pen, hopefully I can finally get some bills paid for the café, and I haven’t had time lately. I still have seven weeks until I have to go back to work but the bills have to be paid either way and between taking care of Scarlett and trying to sort things out with Oli there just hasn’t been time for work related things. I heard something drop and break upstairs, Oli probably just dropped something. I continued with my paper but the more I thought about it the more it sounded like something shattered, I’m not sure if it dropped. I set my pen down and walked upstairs, I knocked softly on his door before entering but he wasn’t in the room. “Oli,” I said as I knocked on the washroom door.
When I finally got the door open Oli was sitting on the edge of the tub with his eyes shut but his chest was still moving up and down. “Oli, what was that sound?” I asked and he opened his eyes and looked up at me and then down at the floor. There was a bottle of liquor that had been shattered on the floor. “Where did you get that?” I asked and he just shrugged. “Found it in the kitchen cupboard.” He said quietly and I took a seat next to him on the edge of the tub. “Oli, come on, talk to me please.” I pleaded; I needed him to talk to me. “I just feel as though it is all my fault, like I wasn’t good enough for you- which I know I am not. If I was the right one for you then things wouldn’t be as they are.” He sighed and I looked down at the smashed bottle. “Oli, you are perfect for me, I’m just too dumb to keep you. Every relationship has problems and people take breaks from each other; could we pick back up where we were?” I asked and he shook his head slightly. “Right where we were…” he whispered, “I was ready to get down on one knee and propose to you and you were ready to get down on one knee for Mason; what a great place to be.” I snapped and I looked up to him, his eyes were glossed over and his expression was pure hurt and sadness. “Oli…I didn’t know.” I whispered. “That’s kind of the point, I was going to propose to you and you left and took my heart with you.” He said and stood up from his spot next to me. “Oli, please don’t leave yet.” I said but he shook me off. “My other half left me, what was I supposed to do?” he said and walked out of the room. My mind suddenly flicked back to the necklaces we had, mine fit into his “My missing piece” he had said when I gave it to him. Why am I such a fuck up? It should be me covered in cuts and scars, not Oli; he doesn’t deserve this pain I brought upon him.
