Company (Shaylivia)

Plans

Olivia:

I got back to work and sat down at my desk. I was still upset about what happened. Shayne was gone and the office didn't feel the same. His loud personality brightened up the room. His jokes always made us smile and his touch made me feel warm. It was hard for me to keep my face from dropping. Noah came up to talk to me.

"Weird huh" He said.

"Yeah" I said.

"Why do you think Shayne's gone?" Noah asked.

"I don't know" I lied.

"Kind of weird, he seemed fine yesterday when I saw him" he said.

"I said I don't know!" I snapped at Noah.

The rest of the squad stared at me and I saw Noah's face change.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that" I said apolegetically.

"What's going on with you Olivia? I mean we're all confused about Shayne but first you storm out of here and now you pop off on me?" He asked concerned.

I grabbed his arm and pulled him outside so the others wouldn't listen in.

"Shayne and I are together" I said.

"Really?" He asked suprised.

"Yes, for some time now" I replied.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.

"We didn't tell anyone because of this exact situation" I say.

"Why did Shayne leave then?" He asked.

"Because of me" I said guiltily.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Shayne quit because he either had to break up with me or Ian would let me go" I said.

"Oh my god! That's so romantic!" Noah said.

"Now is not the time Noah" I said slightly smiling for the first time today.

"I didn't think he had it in him" He said.

"Noah!" I said giggling trying to bring him back to reality.

"Like dang, I guess he must really have fallen for you bad" Noah said.

"Noah!" I said finally snapping him back to the present.

Only Noah could make me feel good at a sad time like this. He made me smile for the first and probably only time today.

"My bad, so what are we gonna do?" He said focusing.

"What do you mean?" I said confused.

"How are we going to get Shayne his job back duh" Noah said rolling his eyes.

"Noah you don't need to help with this-" I say.

"Stop, of course I'm going to help, Shayne is one of my best friends and so are you Olivia" He said.

"Noah, I don't know what to do" I admitted.

"I tried coming up with ideas but nothing seemed like it would work" I said.

"I think I have one" Noah said suddenly.

"You do?" I asked.

"Yeah" He said.

"What if we all quit" He suggested.

"What??" I said shocked.

"We could all quit unless Shayne is hired again" He said.

"Are you sure that will work?" I said.

"Yeah I just have to get the others on board" He replied.

"You think you can get Courtney and Keith to go along with it?" I asked.

"I can probably get Keith but you're closer to Courtney so you should talk to her" Noah said.

"You sure this will work?" I asked one last time.

"It's the only thing I could come up with" He said.

"You ready?" He asked.

"... Ok" I said.

Noah went back inro the squad room and started talking to Keith. I followed in shortly after and approached Courtney.

"Hey Court" I said.

"Hey" She replied.

"Can I talk to you?" I ask.

"Uh sure what's up?" She said.

"Noah and I had an idea for how we can get Shayne back in the office" I told her.

"Im kinda busy" she said suddenly.

"What?" I said confused.

"Sorry I gotta go, I have to go film some stuff" She said and walked off.

That was strange. Why would she just leave me like that? Did something happen? I decided to follow her to see what was up with her. She didn't actually go to the set but instead into the bathroom. I walked in behind her.

"Courtney" I said.

"Olivia?" She said turning around startled.

"Why did you run off?" I asked.

She looked down at the floor with a guilty look.

"Because" She suddenly said.

"Because what?" I asked.

"I told Ian about you two" She blurted out.
