A Love Worth Fighting For

Chapter 22:Liv's True Feelings

Mellie's POV:

My eyes slowly open to sunshine coming in through the window next to me. I go to rub my hands over my eyes when I realize something is on top of my arm. Then memeories of last night flood through my mind.

I look down to see Olivia cuddled to the side of me. A warm smile creeps onto my face. I cant beleive she's actually in my arms again.

I just stare at her for a while, taking in her beautiful face. She looks just as beautiful as she did 10 years ago. There are some differences though. She's gained a little weight and hair is a tad bit longer. Her curls flow past her shoulders onto her back.

I pull on one of her curls and watch as it bounces back in place. Her hair is still in a ponytail from last night but some curls escaped the elastic band binding them together.

She stirs in her sleep a little. Her eyes slowly open, but just slightly as she was still half sleep.

"Are you watching me?" She says in her dozey voice. I smile rubbing my index finger along her nose before I answer.

"I cant help it. You are beautiful."

She chuckles a little before her eyes close again. I'm guessing she planned on going back to sleep but her plan was cut short when the front door opened.

"Liv! I'm home!" I heard Madison yell. Olivia sighs before she rubs her eyes and sits up in the bed.

"Duty calls." She teased before hopping out the bed with nothing on. She quickly finds some clothes and begins to open the door.

"I'm going to open this door and its no telling what will happen. I suggest covering your boobs." She said before she opened the door.

My eyes went wide and I dived...literally dived off the bed to find some clothes. A 13 seeing a almost thirty year old woman naked isn't exactly a good thing.

Then realty hits me for a moment. Madison. How would she take this? I'm not exactly her favorite person ever.

Olivia strides into the kitchen to see Madison with a handful of shopping bags on the floor beside her.

Once her eyes landed on Olivia she flung herself into her wrapping her arms around her body. Liv was startled at first by the impact but returned the hug.

"Libbie! Beleive it or not I missed you yesterday." She greeted removing herself from her arms. She took one of Liv's curls and twirled it around her finger before walking deeper into the kitchen.

"I doubt that. Usually when Angie is around I cease to exist." Liv joked grabbing a box of cereal. Madison slipped behind Liv going through the contents in the fridge.

"Not true. You force your way into every conversation. Not that I'm complaining. I find it hilarious." Madison said smiling before she popped a grape in her mouth.

Liv chuckled at her sister. She looked up from her now finished bowl of cereal to see Mellie standing in the hallway. A small smile creeped up on her face.

She mouths 'hi'.

Mellie mouths 'hi' back but signals toward the door. Liv catching on waves her goodbye before Mellie disappears out the door as quietly as possible.

To be honest Liv was a little sad Mellie had to go but she would see her again so she tried not to get to sad about it.

"So what do you do while I was gone." Madison asked appearing beside her. "Oh! Did you get a boyfriend?" The 13 year old leaned against the sink waiting to hear Liv's answer.

"No, ew. Where'd you get that from?" Liv replied. She shoved a spoonful of Frosted Flakes in her mouth eyeing Madison.

"Oh, I only say that because you have a huge hickey on your neck." Madison laughed loudly as Liv's eyes went wide with shock. Her hand quickly went to cover the side of her neck.

"Oh my god Olivia...what did you do?" Madison teased eating some more grapes.

Olivia cheeks get hot with embarrassment. "I...I had a friend over." She said keeping it as vague as possible. Madison did a kissy face teasing her big sister before she took her fruit bowl and left out of the kitchen.

"So who's the mystery girl leaving purple bruises on your neck." She asked plopping down unto the couch.

Liv sat right beside her playfully rolling her eyes.

"You know her." Was all she said before she ate another spoonful of cereal. Madison's left eye brow went up in surprise.

"I do? Hmm...is it that nurse that you said looked like Rihanna if Rihanna was a Latina?" Madsion was genuinely excited for Olivia beside her teasing about it.

"No, but that nurse is sexy though." Liv said completely catching Madison off guard.

"Is it...Stephanie from the coffee shop?"

Liv shook her head. A goofy smile was planted on her face. She edged the guess to keep going. Madsion's face was consumed in thought until something clicked.

She let out gasp realizing who it was. "Its Mellie right?"

Olivia happily nods, "Yeah, Mellie."

Madison saw Liv's eyes sparkle. She knew she was happy but that didnt stop Madison from being a little skeptical.

"You sure you wanna do that again? Not to be a party pooper but she broke your heart Liv. I don't want to see that broken again. Ever."

Liv's smile faded. She lowered her head. She placed her cereal on the small coffee table in front of them.

"I...I'm sure. I love her Madison, and love at the end of the day allows for forgiveness. No matter how much they hurt you." Liv mumbled. She looked up at Madison with a faint smile.

"I can't describe how I feel when I'm with her. Its like...everything I've ever wanted. I slept so good last night. The best sleep I've had in years. She makes me feel like...like-"

"Like what Liv?" Madison asked urging Liv on.

"Like I'm worth it." She got out. Tears fell from Liv's eyes, happy tears. "Like I can do anything. She makes me feel loved Maddie."

Liv looked down at Madison who to had a smile on her face. Madison wrapped Liv in a soft hug.

"Ive always thought you were always missing something...I'm glad you found it." She said to her sister.
