The Wall We Built

Chapter 39

I got in my car and broke down in tears... I quickly pulled out of the parking lot.  I drove home as fast as I could.  Still in tears I walked in the door... Sitting on the couch was Oliver and my dad. 

I walked around closer to him not thinking this was real... "Daddy... But bu... They told me you were dead." I dropped to my knees and sank my face into my hands and began to cry harder than I already had been.

I stood up and hugged my dad for the longest time.  "Well I have to head home... See you later Lydia." Said Oliver. 

"Thank you." Don't get me wrong I'm glad he brought my dad home but I'm still angry with him.

He smiled slightly and then walked out the door.  I turned back around and looked at my dad. "Okay lets get you to bed.  I know you've been in a coma and slept for a while but you need to rest up and heal." 

Without arguing with me he stood up.  When I got him in bed and tucked him in as if he were a little kid he looked at me for a second then opened his mouth to speak.  "What's going on between you and Oliver?" 

I sat down.  "We just got in a fight... When you got shot I was trying to find the man and I hadn't come out of the house or talked to anyone and they were all encouraging me to go see you but I just couldn't because I didn't want to see you like that.  Anyway I got mad and took everything out on him and I feel horrible but I don't know how to fix it."  I felt a warm tear gently fall down my cheek.

"Well give it some time and maybe it will fix itself."  I smiled at him and left the room.

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

"Come on Lydia its been about a week and this little fight is ridiculous... you need to go talk to him."  I rolled my eyes at Eve.

"Fine I will go to his place tomorrow morning."  I need to go talk to him I've been thinking about Oliver nonstop all week. 

She rolled her eyes at me.  "You better... If I find out you didn't I'm going to drag you down there on my own." 

"I promise I will... I want to at least still be his friend."  She looked at me like yeah your gonna go talk to him and he wont have the temptation to kiss you.  "Okay can we please stop talking about this." 

"Fine."  She giggled and nudged me... She could tell by the way I was staring off into the distance I was thinking about him.

"Okay are you ready to go get frozen yogurt yet?" She smiled at me.

"Yeah lets go."  We jumped up and left.

We were in and out of jams in less than five minutes. We stayed in the parking lot and ate our yogurt.  I put the tale gate down and we sat and enjoyed the moment of peace... No drama and no casualties.

When we finished we headed back to her place and I dropped her off.  I then made my home in time to make my dad dinner before him and I went to bed.

While quietly sitting at the dinner table my dad started talking. "So how was your day?"

"Pretty good... Did you get any extra sleep at all today?" It felt awkward to just sit there and talk I wanted it to be morning already so I could rush over to Oliver's and apologize for yelling at him when he was trying to help me.

"Yeah some... I tried to be a little active so I don't gain more weight.  I'm already old and ugly I don't need to be fat too."  He smiled.

I stood up and hugged him. "Your not old fat or ugly dad."  I walked over and placed my plate in the sink.  "Do you need any help getting to bed?" 

"No its okay bug I can manage."  I slightly nodded my head and walked down stairs.  I swung my door open, walked over and plopped on my bed.  I was wearing spandex under my jean so i just slipped off my jeans and slipped on an old t-shirt that was in the basket next to my bed.

When I turned off my light and laid down I instantly fell asleep.

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

It was about nine... I stretched and yawned.  I had completely forgot that I was going to go talk to Oliver.  I made my way upstairs and made a cup of coffee.  I herd my phone start to ring.

'Who could be calling me at nine thirty in the morning?'  I thought to myself. 

I looked at my phone and it was Eve.  I suddenly remembered... I need to go talk to Oliver.  I answered the phone.  "Have you talked to him yet?" 

"No I'm putting on my shoes and I'm heading to his place right now."  All I had done besides make a cup of coffee was brush my hair.  I look like crap... Not caring I jump in my car and drive to his place as quickly as I can.

I knock on the door and wait about two minutes. I herd someone coming to the door.  The person that answered the door was not Oliver.  "Is Oliver here?"

The person that answered the door didn't even say anything.  "Lydia is that you?"  He came to the door.  "What are you doing here so early?" 

"I need to talk to you... I'm sorry I acted the way I did."  I paused for a second.  "And I've been thinking about you all week... I haven't been able to stop thinking about you."  We stood there looking at each other for only a few seconds. 

"I've been thinking about you non-stop too... When I was at your house with your dad waiting for you I had hoped things would go back to normal but they didn't, and with that I don't know if that's why your here but we should take a break." 

I didn't say anything... I felt my wall suddenly grow taller.  I slowly began to turn around... Oliver grabbed my arm and pulled me close.  "You didn't let me finish my thought.  I would say that if I wasn't in love with you as I am now."  I felt my wall crumble again as he leaned in and kissed me. 

"Ew... Gross get a room you too."  I herd my friends calling out from behind me. 

I turned my head... Oliver still had his hands on my waist not wanting to let me go. "Did you guys follow me?" 

"Of course we did... We have a wolf war to prepare for." I smiled at them and then turned back around and kissed Oliver once more.  Angel gave me cloths for training and we made our way to the field.
