Last Summer

Chapter 9: Tragic Love

Olivia

What to wear, what to wear? I thought to myself looking through my closet of clothes. 

Ugh nothing seemed good enough, something told me that tonight was going to be special, so I had to figure out the perfect outfit.

I moved my dresses along the rack in the closet and came across a skin tight red dress, I didn't even know that I owned that dress but it was perfect.

I put it on, and it was beautiful it cut off just bellow my knees and was strapless, I put on a pair of black high heel shoes I straightened my long black hair and let it loose.

As I walked down stairs my mother stopped me and asked "whoa, whoa, whoa honey where are you going dressed like that? What's the occasion?" I rolled my eyes and smiled at her "It's nothing mom just Kade and I are going out on a date tonight."

"Goodbye!" I said annoyed well opening the door to see Kade standing there with a bouquet of roses about to knock on the door.

"Wow." He said in shock. "What? What's wrong?" I asked looking down to see if anything was wrong with my dress.

It was almost as though he was snapping out of a trans and coming back to reality, "Oh um, just..." He cleared his throat. "You look so gorgeous." He continued.

"Thank you." I said looking at the ground shyly. "Um these are for you." He said handing me the roses. "Awe Kade thank you baby, you didn't have to." I said taking them and walking to the kitchen to get a vase for them.

"Oh hello Mrs. Turner." Kade said to my mother as he followed me over to the kitchen. "Hello Kade, you look nice. Where are you two headed off to tonight?" 

"Thank you Mrs. Turner, where actually just headed off to a fancy restaurant tonight." He replied leaning against the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Oh okay, well have fun you two!" my mother said grabbing her book from the kitchen counter and walking upstairs.

I put the roses now in a vase on the coffee table, picked up my purse from the table and led the way out the door.

Kade opened the door on the passenger side for me and went and sat in the drivers seat. The wind blew through my hair with the windows down, through the quiet streets.

When we pulled up the the restaurant, it had looked quite familiar, I soon realized that this was the top restaurant in all of America, this is where all of the biggest celebrities go, it was also super expensive.

My mouth hung open in awe as Kade and I stood outside, he closed my mouth for me and softly said "Baby, are you trying to catch fly's?" I turned to him and said "Kade, we really don't need to come to this restaurant, it's like way to expensive." 

"Babe, since when is money a problem?" He grabbed my hand and pulled me inside, and it was like a dream inside.

As  I looked around in awe, Kade spoke to the lady at the front desk saying "Table for two under Eastwood." "Yep right this way." The lady said, singling for us to follow her.

We sat at the table, and I looked around again as if I was lost in another world. "Baby, earth to Liv!" Kade said waving his hands in front of my face to get my attention. "Babe, are you okay?" He asked looking concerned. 

"Kade, you brought me to the top restaurant in America, and it's like a dream I don't think i'll ever be okay." He just laughed and looked down at his menu.

After a few minutes of looking around in awe I looked at my menu and there were so many options but Kade and I decided to go with the Steak.

When our food came, even that looked like a dream and it tasted like heaven. 

Kade stopped eating and took my hand, "Baby is everything okay?" I asked him. 

He looked at me, and bit his lip. "Olivia, I wanted to make tonight special, because I wanted it to be a night to remember. I brought you out to this fancy restaurant because I wanted to tell you that..." He cleared his throat. "That I love you."

I choked on my steak.

"You...you love me?" I asked him. "Yea baby girl... I love you."

I looked at him with a sheepish look on my face and smiled, "Well Kade Eastwood... I love you to."

"Do you wanna get out of here?" He asked with a devilish smirk on his face. 

I rolled my head back in laughter, "I'd love to." 

We walked out the restaurant holding hands... In love, and drove home. We quietly went into his house not wanting to wake his mother and headed to his room.

I placed my shoes down on his floor, and as I turned around Kade grabbed my face and started kissing me like he has never kissed me before, he laid me down on his bed... and things went farther then expected that night.

***

I woke up next to Kade, to the sound of my phone ringing loudly, which also woke him up. I looked at my phone to see it was 911 calling, I jumped up quickly and answered.

"Hello?" I said answering the phone nervously. "Hello, is this Olivia Turner?" The man on the phone said.

"Um yes this is she, why?" I replied. "Um well i'm sorry to tell you that your mother has been in a terrible car accident, and passed away at the scene."

I dropped my phone, speechless.

Tears started to overwhelm my eyes, and rolled down my cheeks.

Kade, sat up from bed "Liv?" He paused, "baby girl whats wrong?" 

I looked to him, he was blurry from my tears. "M-my mom." I said stuttering, with the tears falling down my face.

He didn't even have to know what happened he grabbed me tight and hugged me, I rested my head on his shoulder, and my tears dripped down onto his back.

I got up quickly, and he followed had no idea where the hell I was headed but no matter where it was he would be there, he would be there for me.

He asked no questions, as I picked up my dress and shoes from the floor and put it on, he put his clothes back on to. 

It just seemed as thought the tears would never stop, the pain in my heart would never stop.

We ran out the door, and over to my house, and as I walked in the door, my brother was the first one to greet me. 

He hugged me, and in that moment the tears fell harder, and it felt as though the time had stopped.

I slowly pulled away from the hug, to see my brother wiping tears from his face, i've never once seen him cry. 

But today sure as hell, was a different day.
