Ruining Fame (Girl X Girl)

Chapter 44 / The Chase

A/N: Hello! I have recently returned from a ten-day vacation to Vietnam. The trip was not that great, it was a twenty-eight-hour flight. I would love for someone to try and beat that long of a flight.

Anyways, I am ecstatic to be home! I am currently underneath the weather but I'm surviving somehow. Woke up with a nosebleed this morning and it definitely made my mood shift for the day.  Except, I do need to work for the next couple of days. I'm also preparing for classes, moving apartments, and juggling around my schedules. Seriously, you readers should take a look inside my calendar. 

All jokes aside though, I missed you guys (^o^)/ 

Much love xx Jesse.

Chapter 44 / Olive's P.O.V

After Blake and I talked about the plan we were ready to tell the others, it seemed like a solid idea too. We have to convince Margaret now. We started to look around the house a bit to see if Johnathan or Lydia stayed, but the two were gone, I began to feel worried.

I began to call Lydia on my phone and Blake decided to give Johnathan a call. The two didn't answer, where the hell did they go? I looked over towards Blake to see if she had any luck, but she only shook her head in disappointment. Damn it; now we have to find them.

"Why can't you just track her?" Blake asked.

"We're not that kind of couple," I said while glaring at her.

Blake shrugged her shoulders, "Let's just go see my mother, should talk to her sooner than later, and I don't want to go alone."

Lydia was out there on her own, though; I have to look for her. I'm not going to make that same mistake again. I've been feeling the wash of guilt since Blake came back, and she was right. I didn't even try. I gripped the end of my sleeves with my hands; I could hear my thoughts screaming louder in the back of my head. I felt a finger poke my stomach, causing me to flinch.

"We're taking my car, sound good?" She asked.

"Yeah, that's fine," I mumbled.

The ride to her mothers was silent; there wasn't any tension in the air though just awkward silence. You could hear the car hum silently with the air conditioning running through the vehicle. I leaned my head against the window, which felt relaxing while I watched the trees pass by. I could feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, a message. Lydia reassured me that she was with Johnathan to get him a hotel room so that he didn't have to stay with his father. I sighed in relief, but I could feel a stare peering at me now and then. I didn't even bother to look at her.

"What?" I mumbled.

"You're upset, and I'm not sure why," Blake said in a quiet voice, "I can't read your mind, and I want you to tell me what's wrong, but I don't want to push any boundaries. I need to be honest; I don't even know how to act around you anymore."

"Blake . . ."

"You don't need to explain yourself, your relationship with Lydia is none of my business, and I know I shouldn't ask any questions. I do still care about you though, but I will respect what the two of you have—"

"It's not that Blake!" I raised my voice finally causing tension, "I've been holding it in this entire time. You're right, I am upset! I feel culpable for not looking for you; I should have and look at the situation that you are currently in with your family. If I would have just looked for you, then none of this would have happened." I said, not being able to look her in the eyes. Even though we were on the road, I can still feel her stare.
