A/N: Hey guys! I'm back in action! So, I know it has been ages since I've uploaded anything. I left you all hanging with my first story that I didn't even finish and I'm so sorry for that. Suddenly I just lost interest in writing and I had lots of school work and exams to complete, but I'm on summer vacation now like everyone else, only with one week left for me then I go back to school again. Sadly...But I'm back now with this new story that includes Leolivia. I don't know how many of you likes to read about Leolivia but I hope you'll find it interesting. I thought it could be fun to try something new besides everyone here probably ship them anyway, and yes, I got this idea after Olivia had her Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party. And I'm not sure how many chapters this story will have but probably around...Ugh, I don't know, we'll find that out together depending on how many reviews it gets.
Without further ado. Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE
The Perfect Night
Today is the day. It's the day of her Sweet Sixteen Birthday Party.
The theme of her party was going to be Old Glam Hollywood style which was something she had always dreamt about styling her party as. It was going to be the perfect night and nothing or anyone would be able to destroy that, although she did fear something bad was going to happen – she could just feel it, but she didn't have time to worry about that right now. Even though the party was tonight there were still so many things she had left to do. Even the smallest details needed their last touch before you could consider it perfection.
…
It was now 3:30 PM. Only two and a half hours was left before everything would go lose and crazy just like she imagined it would do...or maybe worse…come down crashing.
She had to get ready. Take a shower and get her nails, hair and makeup done flawlessly. Time is precious right now and she did not intend to lose any of it, as if she wasn't stressed out enough. She needed all the time she could get to be ready in time. But of course the party wouldn't just begin without the guest of honor.
3:50 PM.
She quickly grabbed a towel and dried her pristine little body, applied some body lotion onto her tanned skin and wrapped herself up in her oh-so elegant silk kimono from Victoria's Secret she had bought awhile back. She flung the door open from her bathroom and the sight of her huge bedroom came to sight. She walked fast towards her California bed, took her phone in one hand while checking the time.
4:00 PM.
She rushed downstairs and into the kitchen where her nail, makeup and hair artists were getting ready to transform her.
"There is the birthday girl we've been looking for." Her makeup artist Coco said. She was all smiles when she walked into the kitchen and saw her glam crew that was going to make her looking like a star for tonight. "Oh my god." She realized with a frowned look on her face. "I didn't make you guys wait forever, did I? I didn't mean to waste your time. I'm so sorry." She bit her lip which was only something she did whenever she got nervous.
"What? No, no of course you didn't." Her hair artist said. What a relief. "In fact, we just got here like five minutes ago." And then she let out a breath she didn't even know she had been holding in.
"Alright get seated sweetheart, time is ticking. We're going to give you the most glamorous out-of-this-world look." Coco said seductively.
She sat on the chair that was pulled out for her ready for whatever they would bring her.
"Work your magic ladies."
The clock had turned 4:45 PM and she now had her nails and makeup looking its best it possibly could.
Her French mani-and pedicure were done to accurate perfection. They looked polished and shinny.
Her makeup looked dazzling. Never before had she ever looked this beautiful. All that glitter around her brown orbs definitely made the last touch. The makeup artist had done an outstanding work.
Her hair though, still up in curlers, but soon ready to let down. Suddenly the thought of something terrible that would happen tonight made her nervous and anxious but she decided not to let it bother her. She leaned her head back and closed her eye. Everything was going to be fine.
'Buzzz!'
She hadn't even been able to close her eye for 10 small seconds before her phone rang.
'Buzzz!'
She sat up straight to look at her phone screen to see who that jerk was that had just interrupted her relaxing time.
It was the boyfriend. Surprise, Surprise.
He had been talking, calling and texting her non-stop ever since she told him she was going to throw a birthday bash and everyone was invited. Literally everyone. Even him.
"Hey." She said with her pretend-happy voice.
"Are you still going to invite him?
She breathed in and out then rolled her eyes at him even though he couldn't see her.
"We've been through this almost a bazillion times, and I thought I made myself clear yesterday." She said tired of hearing about his complains over and over.
"Yeah, I know I know...I just can't stand that guy."
"Why do you hate him so much anyway? Tell me, I want to know." She said surely and starting to get annoyed.
"Do you really have to ask? Like you don't know the answer to that already!?" He raised his voice.
"Excuse me." She said surprised. It didn't really sound like a question but more like a startled 'excuse me'.
There was a small pause.
"I don't know what to say anymore for you to change your mind about him." He had tried everything, just not hard enough.
"Well, you don't have to say anything because I'm not going to change my mind."
"Neither am I about him." And then he hung up on her.
"Hello? Hello? L .."
Damn him, he had been so demanding lately. He made her frustrated and gave her huge headaches, the one after the other. That was the only thing he had done towards her this past month. Why did he have to be so difficult about her decisions instead of supporting them?
Okay, okay so maybe she did know exactly why he had been acting so strange. He was probably jealous of her and Leo's friendship that had started to form into a more flirty friendship. Could she blame him? She admits that she had been spending quiet some time with him lately.
It must be hard watching your girlfriend get hit on and then she does nothing but hit back on the guy. She completely understands it, what he must be feeling, but it's not like she wants to do it on purpose to hurt him or anything, nor can she control what she is feeling, but even before all this drama started Luke hadn't been doing such a good impact on her and he had definitely been distant not to mention unfocused. She felt like he hadn't been paying much attention to her - or in fact, any attention at all towards her like he used to, and it made her uncertain of their relationship status. It's partly her fault and the other part is without a doubt his. Did he really expect her to be the one holding up both ends of this relationship if he didn't even want to make an effort? So, she did what any other person automatically would've. She flirted with another guy because she was obviously searching for love and since Luke didn't give her any of that, why should she even try giving him that appreciation of making a fool of herself? She looked stupid when she was trying to give him the love that she thought he deserved and he wouldn't even give it a shot anymore. Despite all that she had often wondered if Luke really was the right guy for her. In the back of her mind she knew that they didn't belong together and it kind of made her regret that she ever agreed to go out with him in the first place. But back then she did really love him or was it just something she had convinced herself to? It was all so confusing and overwhelming to her. How could she be so blind and date someone she never really deep inside loved? Besides there was no really spark whenever they kissed. You couldn't exactly call her love life perfect.
Now the only question filling her mind was if her so called boyfriend was even going to come to her birthday party, but honestly she didn't really care right now because she had much bigger problems to worry about.
It was getting closer and closer to her unforgettable night and she had to take her mind off things for a moment and concentrate about reality here. The big celebration started in just one hour. One hour was left before showdown. Her hair artist made her snap out of her thoughts when she removed the curlers from her hair. Big beautiful Old Hollywood soft bouncy golden curls came to live. She got up from the chair and made her way to her gold cocktail dress that almost matched her hair color. Perfect. She jumped in her desired heels and jewelry making the whole outfit complete. She absolutely loved the final result.
Olivia truly looked like a princess. Her mom thought she sparkled like a diamante.
The clock had struck 5:30 PM and it was time to leave the house.
6:00 PM
This was her biggest moment yet. She stood in front of a big door which led to the party where everyone was waiting for her. Once she walked through those doors there was no turning back. Everything had to go smoothly or she was doomed. There were at least one hundred guests attending if not more and she couldn't risk looking like a fool in front of all those people. She was the center of attention tonight and ready to do this.
Music started playing. The door opened slowly and all eyes were on her. People were clapping, yelling and smiling at her. She almost forgot to smile back because of her nervousness. She hadn't really wrapped her mind around it yet. Sure, she had gone to several big events, premieres and paparazzi everywhere with their camera but still, this felt a little bit different from anything else she had tried and it was all mind-blowing to her. It was probably because she had been telling herself from the beginning of planning her birthday party to the very end that everything had to be perfect. There was some sort of weight on her shoulders she just couldn't seem to get rid of. But even though she was kind of shaking while walking through those doors, she didn't let anyone see it. She walked with her head high and walked that entrance flawlessly.
6:35 PM
"Thank you all so much for coming tonight! I couldn't be asking for a much better family and friends to celebrate my Sweet Sixteen with. So please enjoy the rest of the evening because there's a lot more to come and I hope you're all having fun!" and then she disappeared from the stage eyeing the big crowd (that had already gone crazy) while making her way down some stairs, intensely looking for her boyfriend to see if he had showed up otherwise, because she couldn't just let their argument go and pretend like it never happened – No, now they had to settle this disagreement. Enough was enough. Besides he didn't even try to find or call her and apologize for his behavior, she certainly didn't deserve to be treated like this and especially not from her boyfriend, and not on her birthday, heck no. She had to know where in the world they stood, as a couple or non-couple?
She continued to squeeze herself through the loud crowd stopping here and there to take plenty of pictures with her friends who seemed to be even more excited than her. It wasn't fair that they had more fun than her and she was the one being celebrated, this was supposed to be her big night, the party had nearly begun and she was already feeling like everything she wished didn't happen, happened.
"Ew, my nose looks so big on this photo!"
"What?" Olivia looked back and forth from the photo to Stephanie. "No it doesn't." she said, shaking her head while frowning.
"Girls, I need to find Luke. Have you seen him?" Olivia said, hoping for some positive answers but unfortunately she only got negative.
"Nope, haven't seen him."
"Yeah, me neither. Sorry."
She left them with a frustrated and forced smile. Alright, she had had enough. She was not going to play whatever stupid game this was. She pulled her phone out of her clutch and just when she was about to call his cell she received a new text message.
She looked dumbfounded at the anonymous text she had just gotten. Was this some kind of a joke, because it surely wasn't funny.
'He is cheating on you and you know it. Leave the party and check outside for yourself.'
'What the heck' was all she could think of. Who would send her an anonymous text like that? Was it really true? Should she believe some creepy unknown texter? Somebody could've been messing with her but why tonight? Did someone try to ruin her life or what?
But what scared her most was the second part of that message.
'Leave the party and check outside for yourself.'
Should she go? No, she couldn't. She was afraid that if she went outside to look, she would get her heart broken but deep inside she knew it was true. It's not like the thought of Luke cheating on her hadn't crossed her mind, actually she had thought about it several times, just scared of reality and now she had to face it. And besides she would much rather know the truth then being betrayed and cheated on. It would be embarrassing and humiliating if she went around and thought that her "boyfriend" was being faithful to her. No one deserves to be cheated on, breakups are and will always be hard to get through no matter if they love each other or not.
Her mind struggled to find out what would be the right choice to make. She had every right to know if he was being dishonest with her. She looked up from the screen, thinking about her final decision one last time. This wasn't exactly how she had planned her perfect night to be and it sucked big time.
"Alright, here goes nothing."
A/N: How was that for a first chapter? Any likes, dislikes? Let me know. As I stated earlier, I'm not quiet sure how long this story will be, but I would love to continue it as long as someone wants to read it. Lol. By the way I should probably tell you that I might change the ratings to M very early.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it. As always, reviews would be lovely.
Xoxo,
Becca
