The Fall Of Us (Cancelled Series But It's Out There Now)

"Hey, how was your little moment?" Olivia asks with a wink and a smirk.

It's morning now but everyone is still asleep. I still feel groggy from the dream I had. It was so horrific. So I got up before everyone else and I went outside for a breather. Olivia came out soon after.

"Whoa, how did you know that?" I say with a confused look.

"Well I couldn't sleep because. . . of Emma," She looks down at the floor but I can feel she has a bit of rage and sadness in her.

"So, I got up and went out for a walk," She continues. "While I was out there, I saw you with Mariah getting it on. I was like whoa!"

I start blushing and playfully push her.

"Hey, can I tell you something?" I ask.

"Uh, sure." She says.

"Why were you so mean to me all those years before?"

She looks surprised that I asked her that.

"Oh, well. You were always so much better at stuff than me. So I did that. I also had very abusive parents so that fueled my hate even more. But as soon as Emma died, I realized that I should've been nice to you. Life is too short and I'm so sorry." She says.

I do feel sorry for her. She's been abused all her life and she took it out on me. I forgive her and give her a hug.

"Oh, hey can I ask something else?" I say.

"Anything." She replies.

"I've noticed that you've been acting strange around Nick lately, do you like him?"

She blushes and looks away. She brushes her hair with her hands then looks at me.

"Alright, alright. Yes I do. I've liked him for years but I never had the guts to ask him!" She replies.

"Well maybe he does! You just have to do it, you know?" I say.

"Yeah, you're probably right."

She's begins to bite her nails, another side of her that's new to me.

"Hey, you kn-" I say.

Rogers open the door and interrupts us.

"Hey, you ready to go? We need to find shelter so we can train." He says.

"Yeah, I'm ready. Is everyone else?"

"Yup." Everyone says.

"Hey, so where are we going exactly?" Olivia asks.

Rogers answers with him pulling out a map from his back pocket. He unfolds the map and points at a marked circle on the map near Portland, Oregon.

"That's where we are going. And we can drive to Portland for groceries. I've already got your social security number, passport, drivers license, etc." Rogers says.

We all get our information and head off to Oregon. Rogers is obviously driving, James is in the passenger side and Me, Mariah, Olivia, and Nick are in the back. They both look cute together, Olivia and Nick. I look at Olivia, my eyes are telling her to go ask him out. She blushes immediately and shakes her head. Well if she isn't, I will.

"Hey Nick!" I shout.

I get Nick's attention and Olivia blushes bright red.

"There's something Olivia wants to say to you!"I shout.

Nick looks at her and Olivia looks at me like "No!"

Olivia sighs. "Okay. Listen, Nick. I. . . I like. . . I like you. Like, I love you.

Nick looks shocked. No one really liked him in that way at all so this is a huge deal for him.

"Oh. . . Wow. I never thought you'd ever say that. I actually like you too. Once we get to our new place, do you want to like, go on a date?" Nick asks.

"Of course!" Olivia shouts. Then she hugs him for the rest of the ride. I give Nick a thumbs up and he looks at me with a smirk. I'm proud of him.

I open the back window that connects to Rogers.

"Hey Rogers, how did you get this place?" I ask.

"Oh, I know a guy." Rogers replies.

We drive along until we get to a house with a barn next to it. We drive up to that and park in front of the house. Rogers gets out and knocks on the door. How could someone live here, this place looks awful. The ground has a bunch of weeds as well as weed in one area, the paint on the house is fading, and the barn looks run down.

Well actually someone does. A man comes out and noticed Rogers. He hugs him with a pat on the back. He looks like a total stoner. He's black, has dreadlocks, round glasses, barefoot and he's pretty tall. He's wearing a windbreaker and long pants that are too long.

"Ah, so you've found Rose. Please come in." He says and motions us to come inside.
