My Cousin Olivia!

Chapter 21 - Help Me, Please!

Olivia's pov

I know Maya is angry with me but I really want her to forgive me and go back to the way things were, I want everything to go back to normal. I know that I have made a lot of mistakes in the past, especially taking Cameron from her, I just need Maya to forgive me and get everything back to the way it was. I have decided that I am going to find another guy who I love and who loves me who who I am. I need Maya's help to find the right guy; I am going to wait for her to come home and  will tell her then.

'Olivia, can you help me se the table please?' Aunt Claire says.

'Yeah sure. I will be down in a minute.' I said.

'No, I need you to come down now, so hurry up.' Aunt Claire added.

'Okay fine. I am coming down now.' I said. I put my hair brush down on the dressing table and I went downstairs. I can smell the food; I think Aunt Claire has made lasagne.

'Your mom made dinner today, Olivia.' Aunt Claire added.

'Oh cool. Has she made lasagne?' I asked.

'Yeah, she has/ How do you know that she has made lasagne?' Aunt Claire replied.

'I can smell it and it smells really nice.' I said.

'Thanks darling. Dinner is nearly done, so Olivia help your Aunt Claire set the table please.' Mom says.

'Yeah, sure. Is Maya back yet?' I asked.

'She will be back in a little while, I think in about 5 minutes.' Josh says.

'Okay.' I said. I grabbed the glass plates and started to put them on the table but I lost my balance and dropped the plates. The plates broke.

'Olivia!' Mom shouted.

'I am really sorry. I lost my balance.' I said.

'Yeah right. She dropped them on purpose!' Josh moaned.

'No, I didn't. Aunt Claire, I am really sorry. I didn't mean to break them.' I explained.

'Olivia, you broke my favourite plates, I can't believe you broke my favourite plates' Aunt Claire shouted. The front door suddenly closed. Maya came it.

'Hey guys. Woah, what happened in here?' Maya says.

'Maya, she broke Aunt Claire's favourite plates.' Rachael replied.

'Oh well done. How are you going to fix this Olivia? Are you going to pay for this? Or are you going to replace them?' Maya moaned.

'Maya, I said I am really sorry. I didn't mean to break them.' I said.

'Yeah, like you didn't mean to try and steal Cameron away from me?' Maya moaned.

'Again, I am really sorry.' I added.

'Say sorry as much as you like,  I am never forgiving you ever for that.' Maya says.

'Ladies, ladies please. Let bygones be bygones. Just help clean all of this up please.' Aunt Claire says.

'Yeah, I will go and put my bag away in my room, and I will be back.' Maya said. She went upstairs, whilst I went to get a dust pan and brush.

'Let me clean it up, don't want you girls hurting yourselves.' Uncle Tom added.

'Yeah, that's true. Thanks Tom. Olivia, the the dust pan and brush to your Uncle Tom, so that he can clean it all up.' Aunt Claire said.

'Yeah, here you go, Uncle Tom.' I added.

'Thanks.' Uncle Tom says.

My dad held the bag open for Uncle Tom to put the rubbish in. I felt so bad, I can't believe I broke the plates. They were Aunt Claire's favourite plates and I just ruined them. I just had to loose my balance and drop them. I had no idea what to do but I have to repay them somehow but I don't even know how I should pay them back. I have to do something. Maya came back down, she looked at me and gave me a very evil look. I deserved it though. I just stood to one side feeling really bad.

'Maya, go and get the other plates please.' Aunt Claire says.

'Yeah, sure thing mom.' Maya said. I followed her into the kitchen.

'Maya, can we talk for a minute please?' I said.

'Look, Olivia, if you want me to forgive you, then you already know this, I don't forgive you and I never will. So, please, don't talk to me!' Maya moaned.

'Yeah, I already know that! But I want to talk to you about something else.' I say.

'What is it? You have 1 minute to tell me what is on your mind! Now, hurry up.' Maya says.

'Okay, I need your help in finding the right guy for me to date. I have no idea how this dating thing works and I really need your help!' I said.

'You need my help to find the guy who wants to date you?' Maya says.

'Yeah, I really do!' I replied.

'Okay fine. I will help you find a boyfriend but don't expect me to forgive you or it also doesn't make everything go back to normal.' I said.

'Ahhhhh, thank you so much Maya. If you have anyone in mind, then please let me know.' I said.

'Yeah yeah, whatever! Now, let's go back into the other room and eat as I am really hungry.' Maya said.

Maya actually agreed to help me find a boyfriend. I am very surprised that she is going to help me. That makes me really happy. I think Maya will do a really good job in finding a guy for me. But I feel really bad about breaking Aunt Claire's favourite plates. I can't believe I broke them. I nearly cried and I wanted to go out for a walk or something; but I decided to stay and not create a ruckus. I went back in to the other room and found out that Aunt Claire made the room look clean again, so where the plates fell, it looked like the plates never fell as there was no small pieces of glasses anywhere, I am surprised and still feel so guilty. I won't forget about this, ever.
