At bottom and aloft

Chapter Twenty-four

    I woke up. Sun was shining right into my eyes. I could feel his warm breath tickling my neck. I got up and went upstairs. There was Olivia in the kitchen. She turned around and smiled.
,,Well well well. Who is this? And is that smile on her face? No way!"
,,It is."
,,Soo, I found some clothes downstairs. Are you gonna tell me what happened?"
,,We slept together."
,,Wow."
,,Yeah." I smiled widely
,,Was it...Was it good?"
,,It was perfect."
,,I can't believe it. My little Becca."
,,Oh come on!"
,,How are you feeling?"
,,Alive."
,,Best thing to feel." She smiled.
Yeah, it was really the best thing I've ever felt. I heard footsteps.
,,I'll go watch some Netflix into my room." Olivia whispered and smiled. She met Aaron on her way.
,,Hey, Aaron."
,,Morning." Then he came right in front of me. He kissed my forehead.
,,Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?"
,,Very nice. But I had help." He smiled and he kissed me intensively. I crossed my hands behind his neck and enjoyed that feeling.
,,What are we gonna to today?"
,,We're gonna get our butts to school."
,,Oh no." I was on my way upstairs.
,,I have to dress up and take a shower."
,,Okay."
,,You too." He chuckled. And followed me.

    Olivia was telling us about all of those Christmas stuff. She loved Christmas but she wasn't obsessed with them. Not like me. So when she was talking about Christmas she tried to get my attention. But I was too busy with Aaron. We were changing random kisses and sweet talks. Olivia had to be crazy about it. It wasn't nice from me. She just broke up with Matt and watching her friend kissing with her boyfriend couldn't be easy.
,,Are you listening to me you two?"
,,Of course we are, Olivia." Aaron said and then kissed me. Again.
,,I'll get something to eat. You can keep eating each other." And then she left. And me and Aaron? We kept eating each other's lungs.
,,Oh my God. Becca!" I forced myself pull away from Aaron.
,,What?"
,,It's Matt." I turned as fast as I could. Oh. My. God. Poor Olivia. Yeah, there was a Matt. That's right. But he wasn't alone.
,,He just kissed her?"
,,That's that girl from the party. I can't...I can't do it."
,,Olivia, wait!" She grabbed her pack and raj out of cafeteria.
,,What was that all about?"
,,They've broken up." I sighed ,,Olivia and Matt broke up."
,,Oh, I had no idea. But this isn't Matt. I know that guy since we were five. This isn't him."
,,Maybe it is now. I gotta find Olivia. See you around."
,,See you." Goodbye kiss and then I went looking for Olivia. I found her in cabin at toilets. She was crying.
,,Olivia? Olivia, let me inside." Nothing
,,Come on, Olivia. Talk to me." Lock unlocked.
,,Hey,"
,,I just can't watching it anymore. I hurts too much."
,,It's gonna be fine."
,,No it won't. It felt so right with him. We smiled, we kissed and then some random girl came and we're not that anymore. It's like Matt is not Matt."
,,But Olivia is still Olivia. She can be sad but she has to live. She has to break so much hearts. You have to get over it."
,,I loved him."
,,And you still do."
,,Yeah." She smiled and I could see tears in her eyes. She loved him. That's good.
,,I want you to talk to him."
,,No, I'm not gonna do that. He has to talk to me. If he wants me back, he'll come."
,,You're such a strong girl. Come here." I hugged her tightly. She stopped crying and shaking.
,,Okay, let's get to class." So we walked right into class. We had physics today. Matt and Aaron had history. Good.

    I sat on Olivia's bed. I'm tired today. I can't barely walk. I walk a few meters and I have to relax. It's December 6th today. Olivia and I started to plan Christmas. We have Christmas day every year at school. It's always the last day before the Christmas holidays. It's December 22nd this year. It's the day we eat, giving presents, saying our goodbyes and wishing Merry Christmas to everyone and anyone. I love this day more than anything. Olivia said that this year she wants both of us to match. We supposed to have red sweaters and black jeans. Perfect. I'm just so excited. It's always happening in the cafeteria. Tables are in lines and in the corner of cafeteria is standing Christmas tree.
,,So outfits done! Food will be there and we cold make some sweets. Gifts figured. Everything will be perfect!"
,,I'm sure that it would be perfect even without month prerogative."
,,It wouldn't be that magical."
,,If you say so. Oh God. I love Christmas."
,,We all do!" I didn't wanted to ask her about Matt. She was so excited right now and I didn't wanted to killjoy her excitement.
,,So what do you think? Yellow or orange?"
,,Yellow suits you better."
,,Yeah, I think so too."
,,Orange is...orange."
,,I like orange."
,,I don't."
,,Hmm, aren't those yellowish dress too summer?"
,,It's yellow. And that orange is too autumn."
,,Better then summer."
,,Don't you have green or red? It's Christmas colors. Or blue...as a winter."
,,I think I have some. But..." she started poking in closet ,,This one's for you." She showed me red dress.
,,You really think red suits me, don't you?"
,,Yeah I do. And so does Aaron." She chuckled.
,,I bet it was me not those dresses."
,,Oh God." She laughed.
,,Please let's do NOT talk about this."
,,I completely agree. It's a little weird. Talking about you love life."
,,You noticed?"
,,Okay, what about hair?"
It ended with red dress with V-neckline, clamped in waist and widen skirt, and hair in the low messy bun. It was glorious. But I still think it didn't need to be prepare so soon.
,,See, sooner is better." Sure, Olivia. Sure.
