chapter twelve

joshua basset

olivia and i's one year is coming up, and i have no idea what to get her, and i kind of want to write a song but that seems bland.

wait.

i'll make it an actual song instead of an instagram original, and i sat at the piano, i hadn't made a song with a piano yet.

olivia was out with her mom and dad shopping but i told olivias mom and dad i was making olivia and i's one year present.

i got my lyric book out and started to write down lyrics of the song that i would put out in a month or two even though our one year is on december 4th.

you're lovely
if you could see what we see
you'd know you're like a movie
the ones that make-believe

cause your lovely
i know you don't believe me
just hear the words i'm singing
in this song i wrote for you

you're lovely
if you could see what we see
you'd know you're like a movie
the ones that make-believe

cause you're lovely
and i know you don't believe me
just hear the words i'm singing
in this song i wrote for you

you're lovely and i love you

(i repeated the chorus and added more words a few times before making a new one)

i love you

olivia.

(ik that it's called lovely by josh) i finished and recorded a snipet of the song and posted it to insta.

12.4.20 i captioned it, and olivia liked it.

i went over all my songs and i smiled, i remembered when i wrote all of them, especially rest easy.

"sorry." olivia said, and i shook my head, wiping her tears, "never say you're sorry for something that he did. i'm not leaving until you're happy." i said.

i always hated ethan, but olivia was in love with him so there wasn't much i could do about it but support her, so that's what i did.

i hated to look back on it too, but olivia and i's relationship developed from it, i mean i was in love first but still.

i went to editing our relationship video because olivia had done most of it, and i smiled as we released photos no one had seen.

i posted it and heard olivia come through the door, and i smiled at her, and she smiled, "are you coming out with a new song?" and i nodded.

"but you didn't even title it." and i chuckled, "babe, it's a surprise." i said, and olivia playfully rolled her eyes, "you know i hate surprises!" she said, and i laughed.

"okay!" i said, "it's a song you'll hear and love." i said, and olivia sighed, and ran to her room with something before locking her door.

i texted her that i was going shopping because she had obviously gotten me something, and i finally found it.

she had mentioned that she wanted a hoverboard and i found one, and bought it, after the funeral i would buy her christmas gifts.

like back in salt lake city, and speaking of that, thanksgiving was tomorrow? i called matt on my bluetooth going back to olivias and we talked.

everyone missed olivia.

i pulled into the driveway, and texted livs mom to take the present to her room until i could give it to her.

olivias mom grabbed it and josh walked in before me, and i walked to olivias room that was now open.

"hey baby." i said, "hey." she said, her eyes were puffy, and i walked over to her and picked her up, allowing her legs to straddle my waist as i sat back down.

olivias sobs felt like needles stabbing me everywhere as i rubbed her back, and she faced me and i kissed her on the mouth, then her forehead, and i wiped the tears away.

"i love you." i said, stroking her cheek, "i love you more." olivia said, and i shook my head, "no, i love you more." i said and i kissed her and fell back on the bed.

olivia and i were just making out, sex was not going to happen because 1. she's still on her period 2. she's upset.

i'm not going to take advantage of her, "as much as i love you baby, i think we should just watch a movie for now, okay?" i said, and olivia nodded.

we turned on frozen 2 and watched it as i played with olivias hair, she was like a disney princess.

loving her was heavenly.

i braided her hair and put in the two hair ties i kept on my wrist because of olivia, and i smiled as she looked at the braids on her camera.

she snapped a picture and smiled as she quickly paused the movie, and we sat up. olivia and i just started at each other before i grabbed her hands and my car keys.

we plugged in my phone and i played olivia by one direction and olivia was filming it, "i live for you, i long for you olivia." i sang.

she smiled and we drover around the small town singing songs until we ended up in an empty parking lot.

we got out and recorded us dancing to turning page by sleeping at last (go listen to him!) and i spun her around.

"oh, cmon babe! dance with me!" i said, laughing as everyone around us was watching, and olivia let me lead as we slow danced to a song we didn't even know.

everyone erupted in applause as i kissed her and we just were so blissfully in love.

olivia laughed as we danced and soon it began to lightly snow, and we kept dancing until the song was up.

"i love you." i said, i had been saying it everyday, "i love you." she said back, and we pressed out foreheads together.

"not gonna lie, your last name sounds so nice." she sang softly, and i intertwined our hands as i swayed with her.

"oh, i love you olivia." i sang, and she smiled, "it feels more than highschool love." we sang together, and i smiled as i felt so at home.

olivia was my home.

"as you've begun to feel like home." i sang to her and she chuckled cutely, and kissed me as to respond.
