6: Amy

POV: Olivia

The next morning, I wake up, the soreness extremely improved and much more relaxed. I lay in bed for a while before pulling myself up and getting in the shower. The clean water soothes my rough, beaten and bruised skin. I feel like I've been reborn, fresh and new. 

After my refreshing shower, I get out and dry myself off. Just before I grab my old clothes from the past two days, there's a knock on the door. I quickly tie my towel around my body before answering. Thankfully, it's Katherine.

"Amy said you could borrow these,"she smiles.

"Oh my god, tell her I said thanks!"

"She'll be at breakfast."

I nod and close the door. Bra, underwear, loose t shirt, jean shorts and all. My god she's a lifesaver. I finish drying off and get in the new clothes. I brush my hair with the brush Ethan claims he used to brush my hair through before. I walk out of the bathroom feeling fresh and fly as hell. 

I make my bed and am attracted to the smell of french toast downstairs. I come down, still slightly shy to be in someone else's house like this.

"Oh, there she is,"Mark looks up, seeing me, and a blonde turns around and makes eye contact with me. 

Amy.

"Oh hey! You must be Olivia, or as they're all calling you Liv and Livi,"she hugs me warmly.

I shrug,"Whatever floats your boat."

We both giggle and sit down with the boys and Mark continues,"How's the bruises and the legs?"

"Much better. I feel like a million bucks after that shower."

Tyler buts in,"Sounds good, Livi. Those bruises will be gone before you notice."

"So, Markimoo told me that he was gonna let you tell your own story,"Amy speaks up.

I nod,"I mean, it's kinda morbid and violent..."

"Oh geez, really?"

Ethan backs me up with an agreeable look.

"Long story short, ex cheated, drove me here, kicked me into the alleyway and left."

"Holy shit! Liv, I'm so sorry. What an absolute dick,"she shakes her head in disappointment,

I add,"I'm so lucky that Ethan was even out at that hour. He scared the muggers off."

"Such a sweetie, isn't he,"she nudges me, smiling.

I giggle,"Yup."

He shakes his head in annoyance, laughing anyways,"Will you two shut up?"

"Hey, excuse me, miss. I think we all know who's the biggest sweetie, at least to you, huh?"Mark throws his hands up, staring at Amy.

She uses a mocking voice,"Yes, honey, you're the biggest sweetie to me."

We all break out into laughter and roll our eyes as they make kissy faces at each other. Mark walks over and kisses her on the cheek, and Tyler makes vomiting sounds, making me laugh harder.

I look over at Ethan, who sits quietly directly across from me. I look a little too long and catch myself gazing instead of staring. He's actually really cute. Baby blues, his smile, face-

Olivia! What are you doing?

Get it together girl! 

Ethan is waving in my face and I snap out of it,"Huh? What?"

"You zoned out... I know I'm beautiful, but not stareworthy,"he makes a silly face.

I cross my arms,"Who said I was staring?"

"ROASTED!"Mark and Tyler roar out and the girls start laughing while Ethan looks offended.

I was looking a little too long...
