Opposite Attraction

Chapter 22

Olivia P.O.V

I was laying in the bed alone, normally i would have jeremiah's comforting voice to listen to but today i had nothing, i felt bad for following him but i had to.

despite my efforts i still dont know anything.

i laid back, i only had 2 days left in here, ive healed nicely and i can walk properly now also ive learned that amber's in jail for at least 16 years.

i should be happy but im not, i wanna see jeremiah, i think i love him and i know he loves me to, he visited me everyday ive been in hospital also my dad likes him, so it must be a good sign.

i laid back in the bed a tried to go sleep.

Jeremiah P.O.V

I was at the hospital i was watching olivia waiting for her to go sleep, once she stopped moving i crept in and laid next to her in the bed, i wrapped my arms around her and played with her hair.

as much as i try to deny it, i love olivia but i havent told her because im not sure if she loves me.

i was too deep in thought to notice that olivia had turnt around and was now looking at me.

i realised when she whispered "jerry"

Olivia P.O.V

I felt a pair of arms go around my waist at first i was scared until they started playing with my hair then i realised it was jeremiah, i turnt around but he was too deep.in thought to realise, i looked at him and he looked so beautiful i whispered "jerry" and he looked down at me.

He got up and tried to leave but i had a firm grip on his hands "jerry lets talk"

"theres nothing to talk about, i just came here to check if your okay"

"and thats because you care about me"

"it doesn-"

"jerry i love you" i shouted

he looked at me and his face softened he wrapped his arms around me and settled down.

"jerry please tell me why you went to the warehouse"

he sighed then began "when i was 6 years old both my parents died in a car crash, they were the best thing that ever happened to me, because of that i got put into foster care" he paused to take a breath and continued "when i was in foster care i was physically abused and after 6 years of it i had enough and ran away, since i was 12 ive been living in an abandoned warehouse i found... at first i would steal clothes and food but once i was old enough to get a job i got one and brought my stuff, recently i quit to look after you and before you ask no one knows"

after he finished i was crying my eyes out and so was he, i wiped his tears and hugged him.

when i first met jeremiah i thought he was shallow and self-centred but hes been through some serious shit and he has nowhere to live.

i looked up at jeremiah who was still crying and i kissed him passionately before he could say anything.

"jerry when i come out your staying with me until you find somewhere to stay"

he sort of nodded then said something that shocked me "olive i love you, and im sorry for dragging you into this mess"

"no, none of this is your fault, why dont you tell someone" i said through tears

he opened his mouth, i thought he was going to speak but he sang

Nobody knows what I go through Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes You got friends that ain't friends no more They don't understand the life I chose See the money and the fame It can hurt everything you love Got some people that depend on me And I can't give up They don't know what I'm going through They don't know what I'm going through

Nobody saw the struggle they just see the reward They focused on the peace but they never saw the war Homies I started with ain't make it till the end They used to be my niggas now we ain't friends Long as I'm putting niggas on it be all good Soon as I tell them that I can't they're the first to go I see 'em trying to come around since I'm out the hood But I see 'em being fake so I let 'em know I got to let 'em know

Nobody knows what I go through Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes You got friends that ain't friends no more They don't understand the life I chose See the money and the fame It can hurt everything you love Got some people that depend on me And I can't give up They don't know what I'm going through They don't know what I'm going through

Now everybody run up with their hand out Maybe 'cause I stand out See me in a video, thinking that I'm cashing out They don't see my homies with the notices on their house They just think I'm eating so they sitting with an open mouth Laying back saying I should give 'em this and buy 'em that I remember back when I was hurting, working selling crack Where were all these niggas at claiming they my fam If I lost it all tomorrow I know they won't give a damn

Nobody knows what I go through Wish you could put yourself inside my shoes You got friends that ain't friends no more They don't understand the life I chose See the money and the fame It can hurt everything you love Got some people that depend on me And I can't give up They don't know what I'm going through They don't know what I'm going through

Nobody knows Nobody knows mmm nobody knows

"jeremiah i love you so much"

"i love you to olivia"

we both cried silently before he spoke

"the reason why i havent is because nobody knows what i go through"
