Chapter 7: 'I Guess We're in the same boat'

Olivia (Tori)POV:

I felt weak when I heard that sentence. What am I suppose to do??Let him call me Olivia. Olivia, only my mom calls me that and when she died she brought back that name with her. She was the only one who called me that not even my dad calls me by that name. That's why I was a little surprise when the teacher called me by that name and fell on the ground and got myself embarrassed.

"I-I-I" My vision a little blurry I wanted to tell him that I like no one to call me by this name but I get a feeling inside me that tells me that I should say yes.

"It's okay if you don't want me to. But I think that Olivia is a beautiful name." I think so too Aiden, I wanted to tell him that but I knew that if I say that he'll start to ask questions.

Just then the bell rang telling us to go to classes. "I have to go"  I really wanted to stay there and tell him that he could call me Olivia. I wanted to stay there and hug him

...

The whole day I tried to avoid Aiden. I almost cried in front of him. How can you be stupid Tori? Argh !! I sigh finally it's the last class of the day. Nothing interesting happened through out the day except the whole Olivia thing. For a first day I'm proud of myself.

I wonder what my dad is doing right now. He must be happily seaten on a chair telling his new kids his day while his wife is preparing him something delicious to Eat. I guess that's what he wants after all.

I sigh again and enter my room. Aiden was on his bed doing his homework.He glanced at Me, smile and returned back to his work. I thought about what he asked me the rest of the day and I think that...."yes" I told him.

"Huh?"

"Yeah you can call me Olivia"I say giving him a small smile. I guess it's time to get past my grief about my mom's death.

"Hey I'm not forcing you. If you don't want me to call you Olivia I understand-"

"My mom died one year ago." I began. I felt the urge to pour out my heart to him. I felt like he understands my grief.  I felt like I knew him even if I came to know him only four days ago.After she died I had no one to talk to, my dad he was always at 'work' or should I say with his secret wife. I have no siblings and no friend so I had no one to approach. Lea was the first to notice me but I didn't really felt at ease with her, she kinda looks like a good friend but I didn't get the feeling to tell her about me....my story..
My life...my world.

I think he sensed that I would told him a story,he closed his books and motion me to sit near him and I gladly responded.

"She died from food poisoning......... An-and that day I-I-I was the one Wh-w-who  ga-gave h-he-her the f-f-fo-od. I-I killed her. That was my fault. I should have tasted her food before giving it to her. She was sick and one week before her death due to food poisoning itself. I should have been more careful then she wouldn't have died because of ME. And then perhaps I wouldn't be stuck in this boarding school." I cried loudly. I never told someone before that it was me who gave her the food because I was ashame of myself. I murdered my mom!

"I-I'm sorry Tori. I don't know what to say"
"I guess we're in the same boat." He muttered under his breath and hugged me tightly. I was a little surprise by his gesture but I hugged him back. It felt good being in his arms. His hug was warm and TIGHT. It was the first time that I noticed his scent. He smelled like orange fruit mixed with laundry detergents. It was a sweet and manly scent.I felt his lips pressing lightly on my neck leaving small kisses. It sent goose bumps on my back and my heartbeat increased. I felt his fist clenching and unclenching.

I was about to break our hug but he held me back in his arm. He didn't wanted to let me go. I heard him silently sobbing and suffocating with each breath he took. Did he cried? Did I made him cried? I ran my hand through his hair lightly caressing him.I felt his shoulders relaxing a bit.

After a while he broke our hug and looked at me. His eyes was red and puffy. He was trying his best not to cry in front of me. There's something bothering him. Something that perhaps he held inside him for too long that he can't express it. I can feel that he want to say something but he can't. He doesn't have words to describe his feelings.

"Thank you" he said and went into the bathroom.

I should be the one saying thank you, Aiden,I thought.
