Olivia waited a long while for Shane to reply, a good hour had passed since she text him and with him living minutes from her house she began thinking he wasnt going to show.

Slipping in to her pyjamas Olivia resided to putting a DVD in the player and vegging out on her bed.

Until there was a knock on the door, looking out her window she saw it was Shane. "Finally!" She quipped as she scooted down the stairs to greet him. "Hey baby" he slurred leaning on the door frame, it was clear he was drunk "are you out of your mind?" She scolded him pulling him in by the neckline of his shirt "you are drunk! My parents will flip if they see you like this!" She scolded him further, he just swayed on the spot grinning. "Me and the guys pounded a few" Shane spoke proudly before he bounced up the stairs to Olivia's room, she chased after him, her parents were home soon and Shane couldnt be here, and he couldnt be here drunk.

"Shane! Come on, you have to go, you know what my father is like" she pleaded pulling at his arm "relax baby! we can fit in a quick one now come on" Shane spoke teasingly taking her hand from his arm and caressing it "we hardly have sex anymore" he sighed, pouting. Olivia pulled an annoyed face and pushed him from her "We've only had sex once! and that was the other day!" she snapped letting out a small laugh in uncertainty of Shane's words. She wasn't sure if he was joking or not. Shane flopped himself on the bed and rubbed his head in frustration "Liv you are the only girl I know who isn't into sex" he sighed, Olivia shook her head "like I said we had sex once, the other day, for the first time! and since then we have been busy, whats your problem? If Rick says he gets loads he doesn't Lori tells me she wants to wait until marriage!" She snapped reiterating her point as she lay beside him on the bed "Look we can skip last class if you want tomorrow and do it? but right now you have to go" she moaned trying to get him to leave again as she pricked her ears listening for her parent's car. Shane mumbled something turning Olivia's attention to him again "what?" she asked "I have girls begging me for sex Liv" he bragged making Olivia laugh "yes baby you are the dreamboat of the school!" she quipped sarcastically, laughing in response as she walked to the door motioning Shane to follow. "they just cant get enough of me, but with you, its like you never were interested in the first place." Shane spoke rubbing his hands over his face as he sat up. Olivia froze "who's they?" she asked sounding choked, as she stood rigid in the doorway, she felt Shane freeze on the spot behind her "girls in general, you know films and stuff" he spoke fast, brushing it off. Olivia turned to face him with a raised eyebrow "that's not what you meant" she whispered trying to not show tears, she had thought when they had sex that it wasn't Shane's first time but she didn't think too much into it, she saw it as a big deal for a woman rather than a man. Shane ignored her and laughed it off nervously and strode past her and down the stairs "I am so wasted man" he fake laughed opening the door.

She chased him down the stairs to stop him leaving as she slammed the door harshly shut, blocking his exit. "the other day wasn't your first time was it? you lost it before we got together right?" she almost pleaded for him to go along with what she was implying, it wasn't as if her heart was broken , she had discovered only recently she wasn't quite sure if she was in love with him or loved being with him, but she gave him her virginity and that was important to her and now she felt humiliated. "Livvy come on, you know how it is being us, I'm the football star!" he argued as if it would qualify as an answer "and?" Olivia snapped raising her voice, Shane shook his head, the look on his face said it all "fine! I went with another girl" he admitted, he spat it as if Olivia should of known all along what he had done. With that he nudged past her as she stood open mouthed and opened the door just as her parents and Penny returned, Shane didn't say a word to them, nor did he look up at them. Olivia closed her eyes as she set them on her father he had a stern look upon him and her mother just gave her a sympathetic look.

"Kitchen. Now" her father growled as he yanked her to the kitchen leaving her mother and Penny in the hallway "are you deliberately trying to break the rules here Olivia Blake or what?" her father asked tired. "no dad, I made him leave, he wasn't here long" she stated trying to hide her emotions after what she had just discovered and how Shane was so blasé about it. "No parties, no boys and no sex in this house! simple!" her father boomed taking her from her thoughts, Olivia couldn't help but roll her eyes, she was never going to win here "okay" she sighed and went to walk away but he yanked her back again slapping her hard across the face making her whimper in pain and shock as she felt her face, her father looked enraged but the guilt was starting to show "whats happened?" her mother called out as she ran into the kitchen. Olivia looked to her mother so she could finally see what makes Olivia so miserable in this house but she instead looked to her husband upsetting Olivia further "she back chats me all the time! I just lost it!" her father stated lying and blaming it all on Olivia as per usual. Her mother looked torn and as usual she wasn't going to say anything so Olivia turned on her heel, ran upstairs, grabbed her bag and keys and ran out the front door and to her car as Penny called back for her.

She let it all out as she drove, her tears flowing so much she near on couldn't see where she was going but she knew instantly where she wanted to go. Her phone was ringing and buzzing the whole time, she ignored it.

As she pulled up outside of her destination it was pitch black, using her phone as a torch she tried to remember her way, sighing with relief when she finally found it. She reached out and tapped on the thinly glazed door and prayed the person she wanted to see was home. Her heart sank when after a few more seconds it looked and sounded that no one was home. As she turned to leave she heard the door creak open "Olivia? you alright?" Daryl asked he looked sleepy and confused "can I stay here tonight? please?" she asked as tears streamed down her face and she flopped into his arms.
