Time That's Passed

Chapter. 20

Olivia's POV

1 day prior

I drove home in tears, once I pulled into the driveway and didn't bother grabbing my stuff.

When I walked inside, I could barely see through all the tears, my face wet, I wiped my face with my forearms, makeup running everywhere.

"Ahhhhhh!!"
I screamed, I don't know why, but I felt that I needed too.
"Get our of my head! I don't want to hurt you!"

I yelled, Johnson and I had shared the house, and now everything in here reminded me of what I had done.

I began to rip pictures off of the walls, throwing them across the floor, the frames broke and the glass shattered, after that I ripped up the pictures.

I threw vases and glass cups across the house, they shattered on the wall and fell to the floor in pieces.

I walked into the kitchen and just threw food across the wall as if it was paint, the light blue interior, scratched and splattered with food.

Lastly, I grabbed a box that Johnson and I filled with stuff from our first dates and memories that we had shared, we had put the stuff in there so we'd always have a reminder.....

But that didn't matter anymore...I threw the box onto the ground and ripped out the "memories" throwing them and breaking them.

Tears were still falling from my eyes as I ran towards "our" room, I tore at the wall decorations, and slammed pictures to the floor.

Glass shattered at my feet, I climbed on top of the messy bed and curled up. I just let the tears fall, staining my face and burning my cheeks...

Flashback over

"Come in..."
I barely managed to say, Hayes opened the door slowly, when he saw me, his face, he looked horrified.

"Oh my god Olivia!"
He said, rushing over to my bedside, he was cautious of the glass on the floor.
"Olivia...I'm so sorry"

He said, wrapping his arms around me, engulfing me in a warming hug.
"Hayes...I don't know what's wrong with me..."
I said, a single tear running down my face.

"There's nothing wrong with you, you're perfect...everybody makes mistakes...it's not the end of the world"
He said, rubbing my hair.

I sat there, my best friend comforting me, and knowing I could cry if I wanted too.
"I love you Hayes..."
I said. He smiled and squeezed me one last time.

"I love you too Olivia..."
He let go of the hug.
"Why don't we get this place cleaned up, then we'll go get some food?"

Hayes asked, looking at me.
"Yeah..."
I said, getting up, and watching my step near the glass.

Time Skip

Everything was just about cleaned up, Tia was taping a couple more pictures together, setting them in a neat pile on the counter.

Hayes took the last bag of broken frames and glasses out to the trash, and I wiped the last bit of food off of the wall, throwing the towel into the wash after.
