The Wall We Built

Chapter 25

I was only in a t-shirt and my short shorts. When I got out from under the warm blankets I jumped out of the bed and chased after Oliver who was at the other end of the hall.

"Oliver... Wait... Oliver." He wasn't stopping. He was ignoring me.

I picked up speed going down the hall and got in front of him and he stopped. "Oliver I'm sorry."

"You know if you would have let me finish instead of yelling at me... You would have waited for me to tell you that I'm sorry and that ever since I met you I haven't felt so shut in with my life... I'm happier with you."

I stared at him for and nodded my head and said "I've been happier since I met you too... And I'm tired so I'm going to go to bed... Good night."

"Good night." He replied with resentment like this moment was incomplete.

I hesitated and then slowly walked to my room and when I got to the door I looked back and Oliver was still staring at me. I smiled at him and the walked in the door.

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

In the morning there was still tension between me and Oliver. We weren't making eye contact and we weren't speaking.

I went outside after I ate breakfast and grabbed my bag out of the car that had essentials for breakfast. Angel followed me outside and asked me "Are you and Oliver okay?"

"I don't know... Just leave it alone for now... Please." I said to her as nice and as assuring as I could so that she wouldn't ask Oliver what was wrong.

I went back inside and turned on the stove and started it heating up so I could mix the pancake batter and get done with the pancakes as fast as possible.

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

I was almost done cooking so I had Angel wake max up. About ten minutes later he slowly made his way down the stairs.

"Good morning." He said with a yawn.

Oliver was sitting across the island from me quietly drinking coffee while I was quietly making pancakes for everyone.

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

By time Max got his coffee and sat down the pancakes were done. "Breakfast is ready." I said.

"Thanks Lydia." They said it at right about the same time it was kind of creepy.

They all got up grabbed plates and pancakes. They all sat down as I began to grab my food.

..............
Oliver pov.

After breakfast everyone got ready for the day out at the lake... Everyone grabbed swimming cloths and towels.

We slowly made our way to the beach. For some reason Lydia stayed up at the cabin on the deck and was reading. I walked over to Angel and said "Since Lydia and I seem to not be talking right now... Will you please go and ask her why she isn't coming down here with us... And don't tell her I'm asking... I will fix things on my own."

She nodded her head and walked up to the cabin.

.................
Lydia pov.

I was set up and comfortable and ready to read for the next few hours.

I looked down toward the beach and saw that Angel was heading my way... She is probably going to try and convince me to go and hang out.

"Hey... Why are you up here all on your own." Angel asked from a distance.

I looked up at her and replied. "I will be down their in a little bit I just want to sit up here and read... Besides the water is probably still freezing."

She half rolled her eyes at me and said "Okay." And turned around and walked back to the beach with max and Oliver.

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

About a half an hour later I got really bored and saw that they were laughing and having fun so I decided to join them.

As I walked down their I noticed angel caught a glimpse of me and yelled " FINALLY!"

I smiled and ran down to her. I took off my shorts and laid out my towel. I sat down for about thirty seconds and then angel ran up behind me and dragged me to the water. From then on we were splashing each other and pushing each other down under the water.

Even though I was having fun Oliver was sitting on the beach staring at me. I don't understand if the situation makes him feel and seem sad then why won't he talk to me.

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

It was dark out... We had another fire... I was exhausted so decided to go to bed early. I said good night everyone and head upstairs.

Again it was about twelve thirty and Oliver came to my room and woke me up and again began to explain everything. "I know I came in here last night with excuses about why I was acting the way I was... I know I avoided you all day and I have been a complete ass and there are no excuses for that but I again needed to tell you sorry... For acting the way I was."

"It's okay... I understand... And it would be great if you would stop waking me up in the middle of the night just to tell me these things."

When I said that I snapped and I felt horrible. I again took in a deep breath to calm my self and within that time Oliver got up and walked out of my room.

This time I hesitated for what seemed like a year and I ran out my door again... Down the hallway and stopping him in his tracks.

"Oliver I'm sorry I can't stand not talking to you and I wish that I was more considerate on your side... I'm sorry. I stood on my toes and tried to kiss Olivers lips but he looked the other way.

I slowly dropped back to the ground and looked back toward my door. I slowly walked away as he stood there.
Why does he do this... Can't he tell this is killing me... He is drifting to far and I can't reach him anymore. No... I lose to many people.

I half ran back to him... I wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed his lips... He didn't hesitate he kissed me back he pulled me in really close for what felt like eternity.

Who knew my first kiss would be in a lake house at midnight I'm my short shorts and a sports bra.
