Part 10: Snow and Thunder

(A/N I know I missed Friday, i am sorry. On that note, i will be posting two chapters today)

Torrence heard the thunder coming from outside and went to go check on her. She might be scared of thunder he hurried his footsteps as a second thunderclap rang throughout the theatre. He opened the door and saw Olivia sitting on the roof where she had fallen asleep a few days ago. She swayed to the wind and looked to be at complete ease in the dropping temperature.

The whole sight made Torrence's heart flutter and he smiled giddly to himself. "Torrence, I know you are standing there," Olivia bluntly commented. Torrence raised his eyebrows in surprise and went over to sit next to Olivia.

"How did you know?" Torrence asked and Olivia smiled.

"Your song was playing" Olivia turned her whole body to face him. Her mask gave her an air of mystery even though Torrence had seen her face before anyway. Her frail frame looked like she should be cold, but if she was, she definitely wasn't showing it.

Torrence nodded and put his hand out to her so they could hold hands. At first Olivia hesitated, "Why do you want to hold my hand?" She asked suddenly, throwing Torrence off.

"Ummm, because I think your hands are cold and I want to make sure they are warm?" He replied hesitantly. Olivia smiled and slipped her hand gently into his. And as Torrence predicted, it was cold. He closed his hand around hers and willed it to warm her up.

They sat like that just listening to the thunder when a white flake made its way down and settled on the two's hands. Olivia picked her hand up and examined the flake as it dissolved. "Look, it's snowing" She breathed and another flake landed on the roof.

Torrence stayed put and watched more and more flakes begin to fall around him. The thunder still roared in the background and Olivia ran around the roof giggling every time it did. "We should probably head inside and warm up" Torrence called to Olivia as more thunder crashed from above.

Olivia looked over to him, she had about a billion snow flakes in her hair and her jaw was chattering. There was a sparkle in her eye that Torrence hadn't seen before. "Fine" she giggled and walked back over to him.

Torrence took his cloak off and wrapped her up as they headed to the door. But then he felt something hit his shoulder and the back of his head exploded in cold. He stopped walking and slowly turned around. Olivia stood there with a snow covered hand and a mischievous look on her face. Torrence mirrored the look and rolled his own snowball up. His hands were much bigger than Olivia's and when he finished it was huge. "Really?" He asked her and chucked it at her gently.

It crashed into her stomach and exploded everywhere causing Olivia to scream in surprise, "Ahhh!" She ran towards him with handfuls of snow and tried to stuff it down his shirt but Torrence stopped her with one his hands on both of hers.

They paused for a second and gazed into eachothers eyes. Torrence's grip loosened on Olivia and her arms relaxed with him. Olivia saw the same pleading look in his eyes from before, and it made her eyes begin to water in response. She wished she could be what he was asking her to be but she doubted herself and because of that, she felt she could never trust herself to be that person to him...or to anyone. Torrence raised his hand and gently rested it on her cheek. "Don't cry Angel," he told her and chuckled, the look in his eye disappearing.

Olivia wiped her eye "Its not that, I just got snow in my eye. that's all," she muttered and moved past Torrence, making sure she held onto one of his hands. I'm only holding it because I'm cold. She told herself and dragged Torrence inside as the thunder continued in the distance.

Torrence held onto her hand and followed her inside, he had a plan for the rest of the night. When they got inside Torrence piped up, "Olivia, would you like some warm tea or maybe hot chocolate?" He gave her a reassuring smile.

Olivia's eyes twinkled happily "yes!" She declared and waited a second. Torrence gave a 'wut?' look and she realised she didn't clarify which one she said yes to. "I'll take some tea please" she giggled and Torrence laughed with her.

"Then follow me" Torrence said and while still holding her hand he led her down a few flights of stairs and though some hallways. They arrived in an open area with a couch next to a fireplace. "Sit here" Torrence told Olivia and patted the couch. She obeyed and watched Torrence leave the room.
