Here we are

Chapter 9

Sara walked up to our table as if she was invited, brought a chair and sat down.

"So, what are we talking about?"  Sara said.

Mark could see how furious I was and gave me an apologetic look.

"We're talking about why the hell are you here Sara?" Mark said in a rude manner.

"I was just coming here for ice cream and you just happened to be here at the same time. Is that so bad?" Sara said, trying to act innocent.

"I told you I was coming here today and that's why we couldn't hang out today" Mark replied.

What am I still doing here. Every time something good happens it just has to be ruined. I got up and left but before I did, I looked at Mark and said "I'm leaving, this is your problem now" and stormed off.

I could hear him call out my name but he never came after me. I don't know how he trusts that girl. What was he thinking telling her where he was going and with who. Especially if that person is me.

Sara has to ruin everything. She has to get what she wants. I'm gonna get revenge on her whether she likes it or not.

When I got home it was 8:24.

I shouldn't have left. I just gave her what she wanted. Mark.

I should have stayed and showed that freaking piece of crap what she deserves.

This is why I shouldn't get my hopes up. As I said before, I always get let down. I seriously can't have one thing. Just one, without it being ruined.

Today is Friday, thank god.

I wanna go out somewhere and get my mind off of what happened yesterday but I want someone with me. Wait, Ryan gave me his number. Maybe I can go out with him?

I'll give it a try. I'm not letting what Sara did make me give up.

After debating whether I should call or text I decided on texting him.

I wrote: 'Hey Ryan, it's Olivia. I was wondering if you're free today? Maybe we could hang out'

I made sure I didn't sound desperate. I put my phone down and waited. A few minutes later, I got a message. No one really texts me, at all, so it must be Ryan.

I unlocked my phone and got a message from someone I didn't expect. It was Lucas (my brother). He sent a message saying: 'hey Olivia I just wanted to update you on what happened' that's all he sent so far and it says at the top that he's typing.

'Catherine was 2 months pregnant... she had a miscarriage' he sent.

Oh my god. I feel so bad. How would it feel like to lose your baby after being so happy that you have a baby that you're gonna take care of. I don't even know how Catherine must be feeling like right now.

I quickly replied by saying 'oh my god, Lucas I'm so sorry I feel so bad for Catherine'

'You would've been a great aunt, Olivia' Lucas said. I felt the tears coming up. Thinking about it, I would have been a great aunt. I would've taken her/him out to play, told her/him stories, talked about boys/girls.  And there goes the waterfall.

'I know Lucas.' I replied. 'You have to be there for Catherine, ok. Never leave her and no matter how Important work is, you will stay by her side'

'I will, Olivia'

Catherine must be so sad. I would be to-
the sound of my phone go *ding* brought me out of my thoughts.

I got another message but it wasn't from Lucas, it was from Ryan. It said:
'I can't go out but I'm hanging out with the squad at my house. Pretty chill and low key. Wanna come?'

I mean, if I wanna be friends with Ryan I'd have to meet his friends eventually and I haven't been having the best day so, I guess I'll go.

I didn't bother changing my outfit. I texted Ryan saying that I'd come, grabbed my keys and left.

I remembered where his house was. It was a two minutes drive.

His house will never get old. It's so gorgeous! I immediately walked up to the door and started knocking. Ryan swung the door open within 5 seconds of me knocking.

"Hey!" Ryan said, sounding really ecstatic.

"Hi!" I said in an exited tone.

"Come in" he said. I did as he said.

When I came in, there was loud music playing and drunk teenagers playing a game of twister. It smells like cigarettes and alcohol.

Extremely low key, Ryan.

I drank alcohol before, by accident and let me tell you it was not fun.

"Ryan, did you drink?"

"Nah I have to keep an eye on them I case they do anything crazy" he said, sounding very serious.

That's a relief.

Why am I here? What are we gonna do, just watch a bunch of drunk people?

"Come here, we'll watch a movie" Ryan said answering my thoughts. He took me into a dark room with a few couches and a huge screen.

"What movie do you wanna watch?" He asked.

"Hobbs and Shaw" I replied. I've been wanting to watch it ever since the Rock announced it on his Instagram.

He looked at me with a smile plastered on his face and said "good choice"

We sat down on the same couch but there was space in between us. Half way through the movie there was a couple that came barging into the room, making out.

Eww, gross. They probably thought it was an empty room. They pulled away when they realized that there were people in the room. Oh my god. Mark and Sara.

Can I die?
