Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 28

Homecoming 1998-Beginning of senior year

Last week Hannah,Sammy, Tori, and I went dress shopping for homecoming.

Tori goes with Steve, Sammy with Jake,

Hannah with Arron, and we were able to get Phil in.

I'm getting closer with Hannah since I already won Philly over.

After I warn Hannah to not go to that gun show I can also warn Phil not to introduce E&G to Mark.

I know Hannah has a crush on Grayson so it might ne hard to convince her not to do something for the boy she likes.

I know if Phil asked me to do something I would try to please him.

My grandparents rent a limo for us to use. Although Sammy really doesn't like me much due to Jake hating my guts I'm still invited through Tori.

Tori is her best friend so she can convince her. Our last stop is Devon and Zack before getting to the school.

Its weird seeing Hannah here with Arron when I went to a dance with him originally, but we're all friends, and thats how we usually go.

I wasn't with Arron all night anyway, Chris and James joined in on the action.

Even Steve danced with me and here we are again. Its weird how different and same the the timelines have been. I've had the same friends for the most part,

except for lossing Sammy but gaining Phil. From what I can tell I don't think James has a crush on me in this timeline verses like the first two, but that might just because I have a boyfriend.

First being casual friends with E&G, then best friends, and now they barely like me.

I'm just a boss to them and once in a while someone to rant to at work. I only have my group of friends due to Patrick,

Patrick is truly the one who holds us all together. It's getting to be the time where Ethan finally buries the hatchet and forgives Patrick, the end of this year is when everything falls into place.

"Olivia!" Phil shouts a little pulling me from my thoughts. I gotta quit doing that, thats weird.

"My bad," I blush embarrassed and hold his hand smiling up at him.

"Lets go catch up to the others," he rubs my fingers gentle and he helps me out of the car.

We follow our frienemies and get inside. Sammy and Jake are already hidden away
somewhere, hell, if my calculations are right I might have been conceived this night,

ew

Its about 8 months until April 9th. I look around seeing Tori and then Lauren and Kelly in a corner. I see Cassie and her mom volunteering.

I see others who were injured, all of whom I have to save. "Babe are you okay?" Phil shakes me.

I look up sadly, "Liv you're kinda getting worse at the zoning out thing,"

"I know, I'm sorry. Lets go dance," I tug on his hand.

"Yes ma'am," he nods and follows me. Just like the valentines day dance all of our friends in attendance take turns with us. Chris reveals he's there on behalf of Ethan and Grayson again.

This time I don't understand why. I thought they were watching out for me and watching Arron last time.

Now they don't give two fucks about me. Are they watching Hannah this time maybe? Do they have some weird vendetta against Arron? Weird when he is literally Grayson's best friend. "Why are you here for them Chris?" I ask giving him a mom look.

"They just asked me to observe," he shrugs. "Observe what?" I push.

"They didnt give me specifics, oh my god Olivia, this is why they don't like you, you're too nosey for your own good," he gets up and leaves.

I sit there in shock. Chris has never went off on me.

"Fuck you Chris!" Phil yells at him. He wraps his arms around my shoulder protectively.

"I wanna go home," I whine.

"Okay, okay, lets go," he holds my hand and leads me outside. We realize the issue soon after.

"Great, no car," I huff annoyed.

"Its okay, we can just walk back to your place and stay there, I can get a ride tomorrow,"

"Really?" I ask excited, we always stay at his house rather than mine.

"Yeah, you wanna go and we won't have to wait, I was hoping you'd stay the night anyway,"

"Duhh," I giggle forgetting about Chris. We walk back to apartment and upstairs. We both have work tomorrow so decide to go to bed early. When I wake up I reach over and cuddle up to a still sleeping Phil. I smile up at him and just relax knowing Ill be at work without him in two hours. I'll have to deal with three annoying high school boys who ruined my night.

"You gonna keep staring or you gonna take a picture?" Phil teases.

"I'm just admiring the sight," I tease back and sit up.

"I'll call Mark to get me, I'll see if he can drive you to work," Phil offers. "Its okay, I'll walk up there. I need to clear my mind, get ready to face those assholes," I shake my head.

"I'm sure none of them have ill intentions," he shrugs and I laugh in my head.

"Yeah, I'm sure they don't," I nod in agreement. He gets ready to leave while I get ready for work.

Marks car pulls up front and I hug Phil goodbye. He looks down at me, "Bye Liv, I love you," I look up at him in surprise and blush, "I love you too," He kisses my cheek and leaves. I smile and leave too.
