Olivia's pov

"Liv did you hear what I said". The faint voice mumbles and I snap back into reality. "No, I'm sorry what did you say?" I look at my best friend sitting across from me.

We were sitting in a small cafe a few blocks away from our school. We come here sometimes after school to study since we would never be able to get any work done if we went to either of our houses. But I wasn't in the mood to be here today since I was tired.

"I said Ethan and I set up plans to go to the movies with his friends tomorrow so I won't be able to hang out. Can we do Sunday?"

I groan looking away. "Oh ok, yeah that's fine".

I had never been a big fan of Ethan. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with him. I just didn't like him. But in the end that never really mattered because I knew the only reason Harry hung out with him was to get closer to Mella. Even though Harry would never admit it, I knew he liked her. Which was totally fine with me.

I just never knew why he went through the extra trouble of making it sound like he only hung out with them because of Ethan. It was clear he did it because he liked Mella.

They were all part of a big friend group. Every day at school I would hear about the crazy parties and things they would do on the weekends. Sometimes I wondered if any of them had parents because mine would never let me go out that much. But if I'm being completely honest I kinda envied it. I only had 1 real friend, and that was Harry. The rest were acquaintances that I did not necessarily enjoy talking to. 

"Are you sure it's ok? I can cancel if you want me too". He looks at me while I play with the pen in my hand.  

"It's okay I really don't mind". I look back down at the math packet in front of me. I did mind but to be honest even I didn't know why. So I decided to end it there.

Harry and I met back in elementary school. I was quite social back in the day so on the first day of 3rd grade when I saw an unfamiliar face I talked to him and we became friends pretty quick. We were pretty on and off with talking until 6th grade. We had multiple classes together so we became close. And we have been super close ever since.

He gives me a small smile. "Ok well thank you".

"Of course dummy I don't even know why you're thanking me. We hang out every weekend so what's one weekend without each other" I say with a small smile.

He chuckles. "I know but I just wanted to make sure you were ok with it".

"Don't worry about it. But I am super tired today so I'm going to cut this short and go home."

"Ugh fine. But if I fail this test next week I'm blaming you because we both know I won't be studying" he smiles and starts to get up and pack all of his things. Once we get out of the cafe we just wave each other goodbye.

I was excited to get back home and take a nap. I was so tired and mentally drained from the day. I was only a sophomore but I couldn't wait to get out of high school. I hated it.

Once I get home I quietly shut the door and walk into the kitchen. I see my dad sitting on the couch watching the news as dads do. I notice my mom isn't home so my best guess was she was going shopping. My dads my best friend. I loved spending time with him. I go to sit near him and get comfortable.

" Hi, little one! How was school today?" my dad asks me.

"Oh you know, same as usual I guess. I'm gonna take a nap because I'm tired since I barely slept last night" I said.

He hums and goes back to watching the tv. I silently sit there and let my mind drift. I knew my dad hasn't been feeling well for the last while. He says he's been feeling faint but doesn't wanna make a big deal out of it. The last 2 weeks it's been getting worse so he's been staying home from work. I tried to get him to go see a doctor but he said he refused. Said he was just getting overworked and was possibly catching a cold. So I let it go.

Eventually, after a few minutes I feel my eyes close as I drift into sleep.

Suddenly I heard a faint voice sounding like it's coming from my parent's room. I open my eyes and start looking around quickly realizing I had not been asleep for long since it was still daylight.

"OLIVIA GET OVER HERE NOW" I hear the panic in my mother's voice and I feel myself instantly become tense as I run as fast as I can to where I heard her voice coming from.

What I saw next completely took my breath away. I couldn't move or breathe. I didn't know what to do.

My dad was laying on the floor, shaking profusely. Saliva in his mouth.

"OLIVIA CALL 911 RIGHT NOW" my mom cries.
