love - j.w [BOOK 2]

22.

Jeff had taken Grace to New York, leaving Olivia a sobbing mess on her couch. She'd been there all morning since they left. A text message had broken her from her crying.

nat🖤: what time are you planning on tonight?

liv🥺: ... i can't do it anymore

nat🖤: WHAT? WHY?

liv🥺: he left for NY with grace, he believes I'm cheating on him because I'm always coming home at ridiculous times, and never telling him what I'm up to. no matter how many times i told him i was with you, he still doesn't believe me.

nat🖤: oh my god.

Within 20 minutes, she was at Olivia's with David. Calming and relaxing her, taking her mind off of it. Natalie had gone out to grab food from Target, as she'd asked for a girls night. David stayed with Olivia, talking to her.

"As long as you know you didn't, you have nothing to worry about. Remember what we went through last time? Liv, you will ALWAYS have me with you." David explained. "Even if you think you have nobody left, I'll be here forever."

Olivia smiled and rested her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. She wanted to fall asleep and wake up to everything back to how it was. But it's not as easy as that.

She was in the shower, thinking about how much she took for granted. She took all the normal days for granted, and now she was in shit again. Jeff was gone, Grace was gone, she didn't know when she'd see them again. Her mind was racing with thoughts, a shower hadn't helped at all.

Natalie had spent the whole night with her, blow drying her hair, doing her nails and hair, making her look more beautiful than she already was. Natalie distracted her from everything, she made more tiktoks with her, and managed to get a few laughs out of her before she'd fallen asleep.
