The Faults In Us

Stuck Together

-- I know, it's been forever. I'm sorry. Also, just so you know, Eliane is now Olivia. Enjoy!
                 

An hour after I had locked myself in the girls old locker room I dried my tears. The second week back to school in my senior year and I was already crying. Great.

My phone chimed snapping me back to reality, with a huff I gently lifted my bum off the ground to slip my shiny cracked iPhone out my back pocket. Looking down at the screen there were messages from Aj, Gavin, Jas and my BibleMessager.

Knowing the only safe message to look at was the BibleMessager message I slid it across opening the message.

"Today is a new day, but yesterday still happened. As you prepare for today and for the future remember Paul's words...

Philippians 4:6 (New Living Translation) 'Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.'"

Smiling softly, I reread it. Thinking to myself I realize just how long its been since I've opened my bible, goodness the poor thing has been colleting dust for months on my bed side table, ever since...

"Liv open the door or I'll break it down!" Came a roaring AJ from the other side of the locked door.

I read the verse again before locking my phone and sliding it back into my back pocket as I stood up dusting myself off.

"I'm coming, simmer yourself." I mumbled, unlocking the door and opening it slowly to step out into a crowded hall.

"What happened." She demanded.

I knew I couldn't tell her about the marriage yet. But I had to tell her sometime, so I said the one thing that would make sense. "Hes back... He goes here now."

"What do you mean? That's not possible, didn't you report him... how did he?"
"AJ, I didn't. You know I couldn't. He goes here. I'll just have to avoid him..."

"Olivia!"
"Really?" I cried, looking to the heavens. "Really? Now of all times.." I quickly turned AJ, ignoring my name being called down the hall. "Lets go to lunch ya?"

I grabbed her hand and pulled her away, before I managed to even move two feet my shoulder was pulled back and I landed into a chest. "Are you deaf now? I called your name like 7 times."
I breathed out, pinching my nose and closing my eyes. I could feel AJ stand up straighter trying to look scary knowing I did not want to speak to either one of the two boys who stood around us.

"Its called selective hearing, clearly she didn't select listening to you." She snapped at Gavin pulling me out of his grip. "Lets go Liv."
"Well I didn't pick her either but we're still stuck together. So she'll listen when I speak." Gavin growled out slowly.
"Stuck with you? Last I checked you weren't her husband!"

Rolling my eyes, I smacked my forehead. Before anyone could say anything I stepped up. "AJ, go grab us a table yeah?" "But!"

"I'll get rid of him and met you for Mac."
"Fine but be careful, if he goes here now I don't want you alone with him..." She finished off softly, before glaring at Gavin and walking away.

There was a moment of silence before Gavin moved to stand in front of me once again. "You haven't told your best friend yet?" He smirked.
"Nothing to tell." I snapped. "It's a business deal from the sperm donor to your parents. I'm just stuck in it like you said."

His eyes softened for a mere second before going hard again. "Business deal and my family taking pity on yours are two different things Livy."

Glaring up at him I jabbed a figure in his chest. "Its Olivia to you, Davin."
