Hey guys, please do not judge me. This is my first story and my first attempt writing in my favourite language and no it is not my mother language. I am happy for fresh new ideas, but also open for criticism ( if it intends on improving my story). Thanks for taking time to read my story.
Much love xx
''Exactly Mr.Adams. So your suggestion would be to concentrate on social media when it comes to costumers aged between 14 and 25?''
Olivia could no longer concentrate on the lecture on Marketing. The professor had been going on about different strategies of small business marketing for since almost an hour now. She was no longer able to listen to something she was not interested in. Quickly she looked over to her best friend Emma who was sitting next to her. Contrary to herself Emma was busy catching up with the lecture. Olivia looked back to her own sheet filled with nothing but blank space.
''Liv, what's going on? Are you okay?'' Emma had stopped writing and looked at her. ,,I dunno know. It's ...nothing'' she answered slowly. '' Oh come on, sweetie. It's Adam, is it?''. It was funny how Emma always exactly knew what was going on in her mind when she was not able to put in words what she felt. Adam. Every time she heard his name now, she immediatley felt sick. Pain had traded place with the hundreds of butterflies she had felt every time someone was mentioning his name. She knew that Emma was still watching her probably thinking about a new way how she could cheer her up. But she couldn't. Since weeks Olivia had just been able to keep up with life, because Emma dragged her from her dorm to uni and back, had stayed with her when she could not sleep at night because memories haunted her, cheered her up with lots of icecream, distraction and kind words. Olivia was lucky to have someone as sweet and caring as Emma by her side. Emma was also the one who furiously called Adam and slammed all the words against his head when Olivia could not find the words to express the anger and the pain that she felt after what he had done to her.
No one had seen this coming. Not even Olivia herself. Adam had been her first love. The smart, sweet ambitious brown-eyed guy who knew exactly what he wanted from life. The reason why she had left her beloved coastal town Deal and moved to busy London. Started a major she was not interested in first place so he could pursue his dreams. Becoming a famous lawyer. Fighting for justice. She had always been so proud of him and his dreams. They were always the happy couple. They didn't argue much.
But a few months ago Olivia felt that Adam had become distant. At first she didn't notice much. But soon he would not talk to her as much as he used to. He would stay at uni longer and longer. At first she didn't say much. She knew he worked hard- for him good was just not good enough. When his eyes did not light up the same way anymore, she started being worried.
But he wouldn't tell her what was wrong. Until this one night.
