When Our Worlds Collide

The Start of the Rebuild

Oliver P.O.V.

My mom and I were watching some car show, "Why didn't you tell me that you and were abused by Griffith, while trying to protect Olivia?" I felt my blood boil, "Because it would hurt you more. He already caused you enough damage, knowing that he hit me would make it worse, then trying to hurt Olivia." She shook her head, "I only found out because he fucking bragged about it." My eyes started to burn, "Why did you stay with him for all those years?" Tears started to well up, "Why did you take the abuse for so long?" She closed her eyes, "I don't know why." I snarled, anger building up in me, "That's not a fucking answer! For years, for 8 years, you took the abuse! You suBJECTED ME AND OLIVIA TO IT!" I got up, walking over to the table, my shoulders set, head hanging low. "Because of you, I was hit, screamed at, and-and beat... while being r-ra..." I threw the lamp across the room, "AND YOU DID NOTHING ABOUT IT!" Harsh sobs came ripping out of me, "I-i'm sorry Oliver." I cried hard, she came up and put a hand on my arm, tears running down her face. "Get your hands off of me." She retracted her hand, scared.

I ran to my room, I heard someone's voice outside of my window "Boss, Oliver and Daniella are fighting. Oliver is screaming and crying, you may need to get here quick." I perked up, "Ok." I heard a motorcycle engine roar, and then the door knocking. "Hey, Daniella is Oliver home?" Then running up the stairs I met Mara at my door. She quickly embraced me in a hug, and I hid my face in her hair. "I got you Oliver." She pushed me until I was sitting on the bed, and she was sitting in my lap. She held me close and I felt my eyes burn. "What happened?" I sniffled, "My mom and I went at it." She sighed, "I knew it." I let out a shaky breath, "I-i feel bad, I yelled at her." She shook her head, "Just apologize. She'll forgive you." I groaned, "Why should I apologize?" She growled, "Oliver Truman! Snap out of it! I would give anything to be able to even say sorry to my mom for all the times I gave her attitude. Get your head out of your ass, it's not a fucking hat. Now you go apologize or so help me Satan, you will be kicked out of the Knights." I spluttered, "I-I'm Sorry. I'm sorry Mara." She pulled me back into a hug, "It's ok. I'm sorry for raising my voice, I just needed you to snap out of it." I nodded, "Can you stay the night?" She laughed, "Yeah. Now go apologize to your mom." I wiped my eyes, "Ok."

Mara P.O.V.

I pulled out a pair of his sweatpants and a t-shirt, "I'm wearing some of your clothes." Oliver laughed, "Whatever." I smiled, "Now come over here and cuddle me." I made grabby hands at him. He grinned, "As the leader of a dangerous gang, you sure are adorable." I giggled, "Why thank you." He laid down and I sprawled over top of him, he laughed, "You're lucky you are light, or I would have yeeted you off of me." I laughed as well, hiding my face in his neck and placing small kisses on the skin.

Shawn and I were sparring, I was blocking punch after punch. "You've-Gotten-Soft-Dorek." He laughed a little, dropping his stance and wiping his forehead, "Last I checked, this was just for fun." I shook my head, "Come on, remember when we used to date. We actually fought, not this shit." He smirked, "You wanna do it like the old days?" I nodded, putting my fists back up, "Combattimi. (Fight me.)" He got back into Fighting Stance, and I threw a punch towards his stomach. Excitement rushed through me as we fought, the slight pain of being punched was amazing. I punched him in the side, hooking his left side afterwards. "We going for K.O? Or do you want to go just one round?" I chuckled, blocking a punch to the head, "Just a round, I have a drug deal going down in 30 minutes." He nodded, "Let's finish this then." We continued to fight until the bell went. I shook his hand, "Good match." He smiled at me, and my stomach did a small flip. "Good Match." His voice was kind of raspy, and it did things to me. I shouldn't be feeling this way still, I thought I pushed all those feelings down. I still love Oliver, but I still never got over Shawn.
