Can You Feel My Heart (Oliver Sykes Fan Fiction)

Chapter 25- Letting Me Go?

" How was the party? " My mother asked in the morning. I didn't want to talk about it... I didn't even realize half the shit I was doing. Drew tried to kiss me and Oliver punched him before he could try.. why did I slap Oliver? I should've really slapped Drew.

I didn't want to tell Oliver that though he'd seriously get a big head and be all see I told you so.

" Cool." I lied, picking up my microwave heated breakfast burrito and throwing my back pack over my shoulder.

" I got to go.. Love you mom." She waved goodbye as I trudged outside my house, burrito in hand.

" Hey. " I remember that voice.

" Go away Drew." I took a bite of my food and walked faster.

" We need to talk." He said keeping pace with me.

" We need nothing... OK? You tried to kiss me last night! I- being High should've slapped you instead of Oliver."

A smile lingered on his face.

" You slapped him? "

I looked at him from the corner of his eye and moved further away.

" It was on accident."

He flipped his hair to the side and rearranged his back pack on his back.

" You know you really need to loosen up Brittany. Let people in."

I flinched.

" The last time I let someone in I was hurt bad...I keep my distance now."

The sudden image of Oliver kissing me on the bus floated into my mind. He was my first kiss, back in Elementary. He was my first love.. He was everything.. how could I just let that go??

After getting through a tough day at school. Multiple fan girls and flirty jocks I was actually happy to go to work.

I practically ran. Busting into the shop and throwing my apron around my body. I walked into the back to find my name tag on the shelf but it was missing. In fact there weren't any name tags not Arwin, the red haired boy who I finally got his name, nor Trisha, Or Marie.

" Brittany."

Dominic said his hands clasped together.

" Dominic where's our name tags? " He gave me a sorrowful look.

" Look Brittany... The name tags aren't there because... I'm closing down Frolio King."

My heart skipped a beat. I need this job! it was me and my ma's ticket away from Cody. Our only chance at happiness. How could our future be snatched away like that.

" W-Why? "

I stuttered.

" My mom, is terribly sick and I am moving up down to Florida to take care of her."

He's shutting down Frolio king to be a maid to his sick mother?! OK....I know it sounds wrong to say but this job was my only hope!

" But.."

" I'm sorry. I'm going to need the apron."

I sobbed. Removing the apron and placed it in his hands.

There is no way...I'm going to get money to leave.
