Escape from Tragedy

Chapter 14: Second Home

I woke up earlier than usual, I just laid there in my bed looking out to the dark sky. It's six o'clock and I think I am the only one up. I know for a fact I'm not going to be able to go to sleep, once I'm up, I am wide a wake. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. Once I was done I quietly went downstairs to the kitchen. I looked through the thousands of cupboards, I finally found the coffee cups and made a cup of coffee. While waiting I made some toast and drunk a glass of cold water to wake myself more up.  The sun was slowly raising, so I took the toast, cup of coffee and my phone and sat outside on the outside couch and watched the sun lighten the sky into the most beautiful colors. I took some really nice pictures and sent them to my Aunt Debra and Eva.

I can't wait to see Logan's family today, that's going to be fun. I know his sister had a baby, I can't wait to finally meet them. Plus to eat some delicious food and talk with Alessandra, Logan's mom. 

" thought I was the only one up" Liam said standing behind me.

I didn't say anything just sat there starring out into the back yard. I mean should I even respond to someone who called me a slut?

"What? your deaf now?" He added.

I rolled my eyes he's so annoying like can he not for once?! For once in his life can he not be so mean?!

"Oh I see?" He said coming around and sitting across from me.

I leaned back and arched my eye brow "what exactly do you see?" I asked him annoyed.

"Hmm, where to start?" He said looking straight into my eyes. "You've been here for about month now and I honestly don't see nothing but a girl who is lost"

Lost? What? I scrunched my eyebrows confused.

"Lost, weak, quiet, pity person, loner, hopeless, runner, shy, afraid,no back bone, poor, follower, hid away, and most of all nothing. That's what I see when I look at you" he said leaning back with a curled smirked.

My eyes burn of tears threatening to come out. Who says that to a person? He's just like him! Always willing to put someone down for the sake of it... Willing to hurt someone just because...

"You know what...I..I..I" I said in a shaky voice. I can't even speak, he left me in complete shock. He spoke so calmly to me as if we were having a normal conversation.

"Are you going to cry?" He asked in a mocking manner. "Miss. Olivia don't we know your suppose to be a big girl... Don't cry, I was only telling the truth"

I stood up " Don't speak to me for the rest of this trip, don't a knowledge me. Your probably right I am probably all the things you called me but you don't know anything about me. Just leave me alone Liam" I told with tears spilling out.

I walked back into the house, straight up to my room and silent cried into my pillows. Cried at the fact Liam is probably right about me. I am weak, I've always been, I am afraid of what's going to happen to me, I am hopeless to life, I am shy and I do hid away from people so they don't see me. Liam spoke the truth...that hurt...but Liam is exactly like him! The person I hate the most, the one that mentally hurt me.

I cried it all out for the first time in months, cried for the pain. I'll never be who I was before all that. The smart, strong, bold Olivia.
