Lovesick

Chapter two - Broken hearts

I ran to the parking lot with nothing but misery. I kept crying out endlessly, Wishing this was all a joke, But the blood i have of my mother dried on my hands and shirt, I knew it was over. What was I supposed to tell my dad, How am i gonna tell david that he lost a mother. 

I walk back up, and decided to finally tell my father. But before i could even pick up my phone ; he was already there, Lost and torn apart. He said no words but I felt his pain all around the room, I felt every piece of his broken heart, fall on the ground. 

'David' I said. My dad couldn't speak. I had to do it. - 'Livia, dad where've you been?' he asked with excitement. 

'Turn off the music david.' Dad said. 

'Okay' David turns off the music off the aux in the car.

I look at dad, 'Dad, you need rest.' He walked into the house with no context as I drop a tear from the side of my face.

'David, baby' I grab both my brother's hands gently and looked at him in the eye, and started to cry.

'Why are you crying Liv' He asked. I smiled at him, I smiled at my little baby brother That deserved nothing in this world was happiness, and i was about to take it away from him.

'I need you to listen to me okay? This is going to be tough, but listen to me' I cried even more.

'What is it Liv' 

'Mom loves you so much, you know that, right?'

'Ofc I do' he smiled

'David' i said with a crack in my voice and tears in my eyes. 'Mom is gone.' 

'Where? when is she coming back' 

I sighed deeply, 'No baby, Mom got shot today. And she had to go, permanently'

And there, I broke my little 6 year old brother's little heart.

He started crying, screaming 'No' and all i could do was lock him in my arms and promise to never let go, and always be beside him. It hurt, I lost mom,

but i also lost my precious dad and little brother, we were all torn into pieces.

I rub my brother's head and hugged him till he calmed down 'Listen to me, Mom wants you strong. And she wants you to grow up to be as amazing as her. Don't let that go, promise me david, promise me'

he said 'promise' trying so hard to keep tears from falling because that's David. That's my strong baby brother.

I held his hand as we get out of the car, I enter the house as someone else

A broken Olivia Matthews. 

Because my Mom was gone, I'm never gonna see her again.

2 years later. 

'Livia' My dad screamed

I walk downstairs, 'Someone's outside for you'

I walk out the door, and see a guy with rolled paper in his hand. 

'Hey are you Olivia Matthews?'

'Yes, who wants to know'

'I'm Nick, Nicolas Miller I'm a part time Artist after school, basically an after school club and I'm a musician, We're starting a musical and i thought you'd be a perfect lead singer because i watched you perform in every singing competition and gig' 

'Hmmm.. Creep' I said

'Woah lighten up' He grins 

We stare for a moment 'No' i close the door.  

Nick's p.o.v

'What' i whisper to myself, 

'Don't waste your time, Livia doesn't do anything anymore and no one can convince her but me'

'Challenge accepted ..... ??"

'David, And i don't do hand shakes, bye' 

he walks in 

Wow, what

Olivia's p.o.v

'Bye dad, I'll be coming home a little late today, I cooked for you this morning and it's in the fridge eat well, I love you'

'Have fun' he said.

I walk to the door with David in front of me, but it was a different david, He wasn't my happy little brother, And i look behind me and look at my dad and his sleepless swollen eyes, everything wasn't the same anymore.

Bell rings

I head over to David's table and give him money for a milkshake, I head straight to the basement where after school clubs usually start after school, because if i have to at least be honest to myself, I miss music, singing and playing, it's always been my heart and soul. Walking through the halls i kept hoping i don't see nicolas because i literally made myself look lifeless and full of hatred with everyone lol. Well I do but I'm a nice person .. I guess

I take a peek through the the hole of the door, No one was there yet, so i went in and tried the guitar and started playing other instruments; Piano, violin, and harp. 

'I see my charm worked on you' I turn to see Nicolas. I stood quite for a moment with a little embarrassment, 'Music is the only charm to me, all you got is your name' i laugh softly 'You're wrong about that Olivia' he said. 'Prove me wrong then' i look at him in the eye. 

he walks over and gets an acoustic guitar, and starts playing, and honestly

w o w .. but keep it cool Livia, 

'Not bad' i say, he keeps playing and i start singing along until i felt a little spark in the music we're letting out, I felt a smile. A joyful smile.  

'You're not as mean as i thought' he grins and looks at me. I laugh a little and look at the guitar i'm holding.

'Hey, what exactly do you do with music' 

'what do you mean?' i say

'Like .. do you write songs?' 

'actually.. yea i do'  i play the piano and start singing a song i wrote with my mom 2 years ago, not feeling the pain.... yet

'wow that was, beautiful' 

'Thank you' i grin 

'who's it for?' 

' My-' before i could continue, i felt pain again. And it hurt, it hurt a lot.

Nick's p.o.v

'Is there something wrong?' i ask. 'Nothing' she grabs her bag with tears in her eyes and leaves the room.  I didn't know what was wrong, everything was going great. And i've never met someone like her, and i wanted to get to know her, i felt a connection while we were singing, i wish i had stopped her and asked her what's wrong, Screw you Nick.
