The Split

Chapter 1

They split up. She couldn't take being attacked by malevolent spirits anymore. She hated that he was not around like he used to be. They had drifted apart and they couldn't come back to where they used to be. It had hurt a lot, he was used to her being in his life and likewise his in her life. But it was for the best.

When they talked on the phone, Levi ( short for Leviathan) could tell her best friend was in pain and could use a friendly face to bring some light back into her life. So without even asking her to do so she booked a flight out to vegas to see her.  A surprise one would say.

4 hours and a uber ride later, Levi stood in front of the house they had bought together as a vacation home. Walking up to the front door ,keys in hand, she unlocked it.  Pick up her bags she walked through the threshold and shut the door behind her. Looking around, she noticed  the house was clean but empty, her cat Elsa greeted her with purring and head boops. Levi put her bags down and walked into the kitchen,hoping to see a sign of life,sighing, still no Olivia . She checked the basement, nothing. Walked upstairs and checked the 3 bedrooms, master bathroom and office, nothing. Last place to check would be outside, maybe she was sunbathing or in the pool. Coming back down stairs and out the patio doors, she looked to the left then the right and there she was, headphones and sunglasses.

Walking up in the sun, she stopped and looked down at her. Olivia  only noticed her their because of the shadow blocking her view.

"When'd you get here?"

"Not to long ago, took me awhile to find you"
'Sorry. Just wanted some time outside before the rain comes."

Levi nodded and hugged her friend. "You okay?" Olivia  shrugged but what could she say. 'I miss him, i think i made a big mistake."

"You know why you did this, unless it was a rash decision or you felt like you should do it this way, you can always apologize and try and come back together. I'm sure he misses you too."

"His snapchat is blank, he doesn't post on instagram and his IM is set to away."

"Have you tried calling him?"

'Yes, it goes straight to voicemail."

Levi didn't know what to say so she didn't say anything. She sat down on the side of the pool and lit up a smoke, one drag in and Olivia  snuck it from her with a heavy pull.

"Thought you hated menthol?"

"I did, but now its better than regular. Aaron got me hooked on mint chocolate chip vape and I ran out so I started this again. Less chest pain from the regular."

"You still close with them? The crew and the girlfriends/wives?"
 
"We hung out last weekend, i left before Zak showed up. Me and the girls hangout more nowadays."

"You want me to talk to him? Get you two back together?"

"What could you do that I already haven't tried?"

"I'm good with verbal jiu-jitsu, i could make him by force too." Olivia  laughed, Levi always knew how to make things better. They went back inside and took her stuff into her room and started unpacking.

"'How long are you staying for?" she hoped it would be for longer than a few days, they hadn't spent time in months so this had better be for a long time.

"Since I work from home, I took time for a week. Cats are with my sister and they are renovating the house since I just bought it free and clear."

"'Congrats homeowner."' they fist-bumped and went back to unpacking.

"They don't know your in town, why don't we have a party here? Just a welcome back thing, food music booze...something simple"

Levi wasn't one for parties but she would oblige for her bestie.

"'Sure, just nothing crazy please. But first, lets go to the spa and get our nails done."

"Awesome".
