Take my breath away
Chapter 1
Hi there! Well after watching 'Dark Harbor', I just fell in love with the movie! This is a young man/OC and yes, I know he is gay! However, we do not find that out till the last few minutes of the movie so please do not judge my story just because he is not gay in it. Also, Alexis will be older in this so she can be the biological mother to Olivia. So please enjoy and I hope you like this opening chapter!
Neglect, being invisible, heartache, and worthlessness were only a few feelings that Olivia Weinberg felt as she sat opposite her parents whilst stirring her food around her plate. She wished she were somewhere else where she would not be ignored or glared at whenever she tried to start a conversation. They were always like this, engaging in their own chat completely ignoring their daughter who only sat a few feet away. But that was her parents, they were too involved with each other's business that they never took the time to ask how she was or whether she'd had a good day.
That's why she hated spending time on their private island, it just isolated her even more. She gets up from her seat and slides out of the room, her parents not even glancing her way or questioning her sudden rush out the room. She quickly ties her long blonde hair into low pigtails that rest over her shoulders, taking a quick look in the mirror at her features before she grabs her basket and slips out the kitchen door. She heads into the woods, the only place she knows that keeps her away from the silence within the prison she calls her home.
Olivia listens to the birds tweeting and the rustling of the leaves as she treks deeper into the sun-filled woods. She finds the sun to be refreshing due to there always seeming to be a storm coming every time they came to the island. She continues to walk until she comes across what she is looking for, a small purple mushroom, she would always collect these as a child when her parents actually paid attention to her. These little pieces of fungi were her last connection to the parents she knew as a child and she planned on hanging onto it for as long as she could.
That had been when she had loved her parents deeply, when they spent time with her and returned her love. But now it was only Olivia giving the love, her parents on the other hand gave her nothing close to the emotion. Olivia pulls herself out of her memories and checks the mushroom knowing the difference between one being lethal and one being an aphrodisiac instantly. She places it delicately into her basket and then continues on her pursuit. Going ever deeper into what seems like a never ending woods.
After thirty minutes of mushroom picking Olivia places herself down in the familiar clearing where she would always sit after picking mushrooms. She lifts her head letting the sun brush across her pale skin, she opens her eyes for a second letting her light blue eyes sparkle. They never sparkled anymore, they were dull and full of pain, all because her parents didn't care about her anymore. She sighs loudly watching the bird's fly watching the birds fly over the trees, this was her happy place. Her place where she didn't feel unwanted or like a spare part.
Olivia jumps suddenly as a loud rustle comes from behind her. She lifts herself up and turns around quickly only to be met by nothing but trees. She breathes out a hard breath, then she hears it. A muffled groan. She looks down cautiously her hands forming into fists as she tries to control her shaking limbs. It's a man with messy brown hair and covered in dirt. He looks like he's been in a tussle Olivia wants to ask him if he's okay but the words won't form in her mouth. She gulps and then her tongue comes back to her.
''How did you get here?'' Olivia whispers, confused to how someone could get on her parents private island.
The man looks up at her with a glare. ''I swam.'' He says huskily.
Olivia shivers at the sound of his voice, but also the mans handsome features. ''Do you want some help?'' Olivia stutters out.
The man gives Olivia another glare. ''No I don't want to trouble you.'' He says.
Olivia cautiously bends down in front of him. ''It's really no trouble, I have a house right here on the island.'' She says offering the man a small smile.
The man looks up at her and nods his head as he begins to lift himself up. Olivia watches him making sure he doesn't hurt himself. When she see's that he is stable, she picks up her basket full of mushrooms and begins to walk in the direction back to her prison. Listening as the strange man follows heavy footed behind her.
