Shattered: A Zak Bagans GAC Love Story

Olivia POV*******

Ugh! I'm so tired, but I can not believe how much I've gotten done today! I've unpacked and sorted almost my entire apartment. It's not as big or as nice as my old one, but it's mine and I like it.

After a long day , I sorely made my way to the shower wanting to clean away everything that has happened over the last few days.

This bathroom is the reason I had decided to take this apartment. It is huge and beautiful with a claw foot bathtub in the middle of the room with a vanity on one side with a walk in closet on the other.

I turned on the shower as I do I can't help but let a few silent tears escape over what has transpired over the last week. It has been one of the hardest of my life , but I'm hoping it can only get better from here.

As I step in the hot shower and let the water cascade down my back easing all the joints and muscles into relaxation , I can't help but let my mind wonder for the millionth time to the night when my life had fallen apart.

FLASHBACK*****

I had just gotten done work. usually I love my job but today was just miserable. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did. From an order of new merchandise going missing to an irate customer blaming me because there wasn't enough towels in his room to a woman deciding she didn't like the shampoo and having a screaming fit about it .And being the manager, I had to deal with everything.

Thankfully the owner came in early and told me I could leave early to relaxe that she would finish up. Of all the people I've worked for Andrea is amazing!

I slowly made my way home, any other night it takes me maybe. 20 minutes tops but I was in no rush tonight. On the way my favourite song 'safe and sound' comes on the radio and as I'm singing along I can feel my mood lighten.

Pulling into the lane way I spot my fiancé Ben's car. Usually he isn't home until a cpl hours after me but I'm excited that he's home early. As I make my way into the house I'm greeted my my dog Booboo. That's when I notice a pair of woman's heels. Upon looking further into the room I see a purse sitting on my couch and Ben's jacket beside it.

My heart starts thudding in my chest as I feel a ball of anxiety growing in my stomach. Quietly I walk through the main floor of the house into the kitchen. I notice two glasses and a bottle of rum on the table , along with plates. As I start to fear the worst I hear low moans coming from upstairs.

Taking a big slow breath I slowly make my way up the stairs as the moaning is getting louder. With my heart pounding in my ears I slowly open my bedroom door and stop.

There in front of me is my fiancé and another woman! They don't notice me at first so I knock on the door and clear my throat. The woman screams and jumps up covering herself with a sheet as Ben wraps himself with a blanket and tries to explain.

All I could do was put my hand up with tears streaming down my face and tell him that there is absolutely nothing he could say or do to fix things. I calmly told him that I will back to pack up my things and I would appreciate it if he wasn't there. As I turned to leave he grabbed my arm and practically begged me to stay and talk about things.

I walked out of the bedroom feeling numb and made my way down stairs grabbing Booboo, my purse and keys and left. Sitting in my car that night I cried harder then I ever have in my entire life.

END FLASHBACK*****

That was a week ago today , and now here I am in my own place slowly trying to navigate life on my own.

As the hot water is letting lose the flood of emotion and stress I've been feeling from the last week , I'm starting to feel better.

After getting cleaned up , I step out of the shower and grab my white fuzzy housecoat and slip it on and wrap my hair in a towel. I wipe down the mirror and look at myself for the first time in days. My face looks gaunt and pale. " What's wrong with me?" I wonder out loud. " I don't understand what I did to make him cheat, I was loving and attentive." Slowly I was getting angrier " I gave that bastard 7 years of my life!!!"

I decided that instead of dwelling on everything I'd just go sit and watch some tv. I slowly make my way out to the living room , sitting down on the couch and turning on the tv. After flipping through the stations I landed on some reality show. Normally I don't care for shows like this but there's nothing else on.

Just as I was getting comfortable there's a knock on my door. Sighing I get up to answer it, but before I can , the door opens. I start to panic and as I'm about to freak out in walks my smiling best friend Sarah , followed by our friends Matt and Will.

"Woah slow down turbo!" Sarah says when she sees the look on my face.

" You know normal would wait until the door is answered befor walking in" I say.

" I'm not normal people" she says walking over to a stool smiling at me like she has something up her sleeve.

"Ok" she says clapping her hands, " go get some clothes on woman! We're going out tonight for some drinks".

She smiles at me know I will try to protest going out tonight. I sigh

" And you don't have a choice either, no moping around feeling sorry for yourself. Go get yourself presentable. You've got 20 minutes!"

I laugh turning to head to my bedroom knowing I don't have a choice. I either do it and pick out something I like or Sarah will come pick out something hideous for me to wear. Don't get me wrong I love her but she has no sense of fashion.

I walk into my room trying to decide what to wear. Knowing Sarah we will end up at a club since she likes to dance and shake her butt. I settle on a pair of black tights with a dark red shirt that sits off the shoulder. I walk into my bathroom and decide on a fohawk ponytail for my blonde hair. Doing my make-up in a smokey eye to accentuate my blue eyes. Finishing with some jewellery and a pair of sexy black heels.

I walked back out the living room and did a turn for approval, getting nods from everyone.

"Now that is better than your robe don't you think?" Matt exclaims as will nods in agreement.

"Yeah I suppose" I agree. "My robe was comfy though" I add.

Sarah walks to the front door " I called a cab 10 minutes ago so it should be here soon" she says walking out. Quickly I grab my phone wallet and keys and the boys and I follow.

Once the cab arrives we all get in and Sarah tells the driver we are going to club large.

Lovely I think to myself. I really hope I don't run into Ben there. That could get awkward quickly!
