{Olive's POV}
I just laid there, helpless, lost.
There was nowhere left to go. I had screwed everything up.
My love life, my family, any happiness I had left.
*2 months earlier*
I woke up, reached back and felt my golden-brown all matted to the back of my head.
"Olive, get ready for Brunch!"
"Ugh," I thought to myself. I swung my tan legs over the mattress, and stood up.
I rummaged through my drawer and looked for something at least half-way decent to wear.
I mean I have to look proper to go to Easter Sunday right?
I eventually settled on my black cardigan and jeans.
"Coming Mother!" I shuffled down the stairs and sat down to my designated spot at the table.
"I need to call Nolan mother."
"Ok honey, just hurry up please."
I ran outside to our pool and pulled out my brand new iPhone.
After 4 rings he finally picked up.
"Hey babe! I missed you Nolan!"
"Hey baby, I think we need to talk."
At that moment my palms flooded with sweat and a million thoughts zoomed through my head.
"Ok... What's up?"
"Do you really love me? I mean REALLY love me? Because I need to know that you aren't gonna just leave me hanging there, still in love with you."
I instantly felt relieved and everything went back to normal.
"Do you want to know how much I love you? I love you as many grains of sand on the beach, as many stars there are in the sky, the amount of air in a bag of potato chips!"
I heard a small laugh on the other side of the line.
"Ok. Well then I need to ask you a favor..."
