Song: A Thousand Years; Christina Perri

*Olivia Oaks POV*

I walk in the house and to the kitchen and see my mother.

"Hey Mom." I say

"Hey hun. How was school today?" She asks

"Good." I reply

"How was that boy of yours, uh Colby, was it?" She asks raising an eyebrow inquisitively

I smile at the thought of Vincent.

"Great." I say

"Dinner will be ready soon. Go ahead and study." Mom says

"Ok. Call when dinner is ready." I say walking upstairs to my room

Mom gives me a thumbs up.

I walk to my room and sit on my bed. I pull out my textbooks and start reading. Soon I find myself once again thinking of Vincent.

Vincent has changed. He's not the fun-loving guy I had come to like a year ago. He's a little scary. His brother killed him. He is supposed to be dead. When he was gone, I was so extremely sad. I hated that he was gone. I hated Isaac and Jessica and Nate and Max and sometimes even Alex. I was blessed when I found out he was alive again. I was happy, but I found a different side of him. A vengeful side. It seems like the fun-loving, music writing teddy bear I had once known, is gone and he'll be gone until his quest to kill these people is completed.

I took on of my pencils and started to chew nervously on the eraser.

Is there a side of Vincent that's worse that this? A side where all he does is kill? If there is, I don't want to know nor see it. Maybe Vincent's more dangerous than I thought.

When he first came back I thought that it was crazy. I thought he wouldn't actually kill anyone. Then he breaks down and tells me. He doesn't want me to see him any differently than I did before, but it's hard. Hard to not want to stay away and be scared. Hard to tell him to go. That I shouldn't hang around a murderer.

I know I shouldn't, but I thought "Hey, it's still Vincent. He'll snap back to his old self in no time." I still don't know if I was wrong or right. I'll wait. Wait and see if he changes back. If he does it will be ok. If not, I don't know what will happen.

I think back to a memory of him and I before he died.

*Backflash-Olivia's POV*

"Hey Olive!" Vincent calls from across the courtyard.

I look around and see him jogging towards me. I smile and wave. Soon he's standing in front of me smiling as well.

"I don't have anything to do this weekend. I was thinking maybe you could bring a friend of your and I could bring Alex and we could all go to the beach and hang out." He say his dark green eyes never loosing contact with mine.

"Sounds fun, Vince. I'll ask Meadow to see if she wants to come and I'll tell Will where I'm going." I tell him

The look of excitement vanished and confusion takes over his face.

"Will? As in William Tamen?" He asks

"Yeah. He's my boyfriend." I tell him my smile wavering as well

"Oh uh, cool." He smiles fakly

"I don't think he takes our relationship seriously though." I confess

"You should trust your gut. Usually it's always right." He says placing a hand on my shoulder

I smile and think for a moment.

The next day I follow Vincent's advise and walk up to Will.

"Hey, Will." I say

"Hey." He says typing away at his phone

"I've been thinking about us and..." I don't finish before he stops me and starts to kiss me

I push him away and glare at him.

"What? That's what you wanted right?" He asks clueless

"No! I'm breaking up with you. I don't think you take this relationship seriously." I say still glaring.

"Oh. Whatever, I've been cheating on you anyway." He says smiling smugly

I smile and say, "All the more reason."

I walk away and tears start to roll down my cheeks. I don't know why though. Vincent walks up to me and lifts my chin up.

"Hey, Olive. What's wrong?" He asks sympathetically

"I-I took you advise and broke up with Will and while I was I found out that he was cheating on me the whole time." I say

He pulls me in, in a hug and says, "It's ok, Princess. He's not worth your tears."

I hug him back and everything goes away. I feel happy that I have Vincent here with me.

"Soooo, about that beach trip?" He asks pulling out of the hug

"I'll ask Meadow, but I'm definitely coming." I say smiling

"Cool. We'll leave after school Friday." He says grinning from ear to ear

"Sounds great." I smile

*Back to the Present-still Olivia's POV*

I think about what Vincent said.

"You should trust your gut. Usually it's always right."

I think about what's going on now. I feel like I should give it a day or two more then decide. So that's what I'm going to do.

It's weird that the I'm getting advise from the person I'm trying to find out about. I look at my textbook again and throw it back in my backpack. I'll just study tomorrow.

"Livie, dinner is ready!" My Mom calls from downstairs.

"Coming!" I yell back making my way down the stairs.
