46.

It had been a week.

No upload. No filming. No editing. No footage for her friends.

She read the tweets and comments about Josh's video, making her feel worse and rather guilty.

She heard her doorbell ring, so she forced herself out of bed and trudged to the door. She was in the same pyjamas for three days now. Rarely left her bed for the whole week. As she opened the door, another delivery guy.

"For..." The delivery guy spoke as he fumbled with the small card.
"Olivia?" She finished.

He handed her the package and took it to her room, knowing exactly what it was. She'd received six so far, this being her seventh this week. The packages were the same, just an increase in size. All from Jeff. She didn't open it, she sat on the edge of her bed and sighed. She went over the argument in her head.

"Olivia... come here." Jeff spoke, holding his arms out. Olivia refused. She also noticed he was using her full name. So she knew he was serious.

"No." She stated firmly. She could feel herself beginning to cry. "I don't want to be near you."

"Look. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened or what came over me." He explained. "There's no justification for what I did, I just did it, but it doesn't mean anything to me. I was just having a great time at the party."

Olivia sighed. "You were having such a great time dancing with some other girl? And you didn't even tell me. I found out through Zane's story."

"I'm sorry, Olivia."
"Get out."
"Wai-"
"Get out!"

She slid the scissor blade down the top of the box, opening the cardboard flaps to reveal and large box of red roses. She pulled them out and huffed. She was running out of places to put them all. She put the box in her bathroom, seeing an open space they would look nice in. Discarding the empty box, she saw the note on the floor. As she ripped it open, she saw Jeff's distinctively messy handwriting.

'Vi,

I'm so sorry for not only the party but for our argument. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you and I've done that. I sent you roses because I know you like them, and I don't want to give up on us. I know it doesn't seem that way but I mean it. I love you Vi, and I've never meant that with anyone before. Having you around has changed my life. I wake up every morning, wanting to be around you. Hell, I was getting ready to ask you to move in with me. And I know I've ruined it for us both, so I want to fix this. I know I have a lot of work to do but I'd do it all for you. There's nobody on this earth I'd rather do it for. I love you, Vi and I hope you remember that.

Text me when you've read this.
