Lost in California (Leo Howard FanFic)

Chapter 10: Life Bomb

Aunt Grace looked as if she never wanted to answer my question, but she did even though my reaction could be very unsatisfied.

Aunt Grace: "Yes, although I never meant for it to get that far."

Me: "You say that but you don't really mean it. Because if you did nothing would have happened."

I left, and took my once a week walk on the beach. For some odd reason it helps me collect all my thoughts and emotions. It almost feels like as if my mother was here; she'd loved the beach especially at night. She believed that it was more beautiful and alive because thats when all the creatures in the sea come out. Don't really know if that's true but then again I believed everything that my mother told me.

When I settled in my favorite spot, I get a call from Ronnie. Now I remember that he was going to give me a call whenever he needed me to hold up on the deal we made, but I haven't even gotten to talk about this deal with Leo. What if he is calling me now to hold up my part of the bargain. Maybe I don't have to tell Leo. I answer my phone, not knowing whats going to happen.

Olivia's POV

I was walking along the beach around 8 o'clock thinking about the moment if Leo and I were together. Picnics, him taking me shopping, long day at the beach, bonfires. A dream I'd never let go. Then I heard a voice in the background cutting off my daydreams. I followed the voice leading to what seemed to be Elizabeth sitting on the sand. All I could make out was:

Elizabeth: "Hey Ronnie, I missed you all day. Never stop thinking about you. Wish I'd never had to leave. This long distance relationship is really tough."

My face is in shock, all I can think was who is Ronnie? And isn't she dating Leo, the man of my dreams. Then a lightbulb just lit up above my head (got an idea). I pulled out my phone and started recording Elizabeth's conversation. Once I gathered what I needed I sent out an annonymous text with this file attached to everyone at school, including Leo. Maybe she will have Ronnie all to herself now. Maybe this is a sign that it's my chance to finally be with Leo. And so I continued walking towards my house just waiting for tomorrow to already be.

Elizabeth's POV

After talking to Ronnie and "ending our relationship" I went back to my aunt's house, even though I really don't want to. Once I reached the house, I'd went straight to my room and crawled into bed and went to sleep. Tomorrow is another day to handle with my aunt's drama.

Morning arrose and my aunt has already gone to work, without a ride, I texted Leo to see if he will pick me up; but he didn't answer. Then I walked to school. As I got there, many people were whispering in the hallways and starring at me from a distance. Slowly walked to my locker with no expression to give. But am curious for what they are talking about. There was nothing that I did wrong. OR did I?

After a few seconds past, Leo shows up beside me opening up his locker; tried getting his attention but he then rushed to class. Now I am REALLY wondering what I did wrong, and why is Leo not talking to me. After that the first bell rang and I was moving towards my first period.

Now it's about third period and I have to talk to Zendaya and figure out whats going on. Luckily today we have a substitue so that gives us the whole class to talk things out. As i walk we I see her sitting on the floor and as she noticed me she moved in my direction.

Zendaya: "Hey, how are you holding up?"

Me: "What do you mean? All morning I've been trying to figure out why I've been getting stares and whispers and then Leo won't talk to me..."

Zendaya: "You probably need to listen to this. Everyone throughout the school, except for you I'm guessing, recieved this annonymous text. There was a file attached."
