Reaching New Heights


This is the sequel to Emerald Island, I would recommend you to read that first if you haven't. This starts 3 months after everyone returns from Ireland. Enjoy


"I don't like it El. It just doesn't feel right."

"Why though? Liv it's perfect. It has everything we need and more! " This was the fourth house Elliot and Olivia had looked at today and the fourth Olivia didn't like. She didn't give a reason as to why she didn't like the house all she said was that it didn't feel right. Elliot was at the end of his tether. He had just got of a double shift and only accompanied Olivia to make sure she didn't buy anything too expensive.

"Come on Liv, give it a chance. We've only been here for five minutes and you're already turning it down" Elliot had very little patience left and he hoped Olivia noticed that before he had to get cross.

"El I know you are tired but I am not going to just choose any old house. I want our first house to be something special." Explained Olivia, "But to be honest I'm not sure about a house. I think we should try to find a nice apartment, maybe two or three rooms, somewhere close to the precinct" she added.

"If you want me to search for some apartments I will and I will ring you tomorrow with details and arrange some viewings" interrupted the realtor.

Elliot thanked the realtor as he and Olivia climbed into their car. He was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to go home and sleep.

"Hey El you want to go to the movies?" asked Olivia, a little too cheerily for Elliot's liking.

"Olivia I am exhausted and I just want to go home and sleep. I promise I will take you to the movies tomorrow night though" replied Elliot. Olivia understood. They stopped as the traffic lights turned red. Olivia leaned forward and adjusted the volume on the radio. Just as the light turned green and Elliot shifted gear a car came flying out of nowhere and hit them.

"Olivia are you alright?" asked a panicked Elliot.

"No El my leg is stuck I can't move!" screamed Olivia as a burst of crippling pain ripped through her limbs.

"Hold on Liv its going to be ok, help is on the way"
