Chapter 1: Goodbye

"You know I love you right?" Wen asked Olivia gently, lovingly staring into her eyes. He was sincere, it was in his eyes. He knew better than to mess with a girl's feelings, especially a shy insecure girl like Olivia. Olivia pondered over this question. "Yeah, sure." She looked up at him and met his gaze. "I love you too, Wen." This was the first guy she met that she had ever trusted after that day. Just thinking about what had happened made her sick. All the memories came flooding back to her. Memories that she hated. Memories that she wished she could just erase from her mind forever. Without realizing it, her eyes brimmed over with tears and she started sobbing as big wet tears trickled down her cheeks. "Olivia? Are you okay?" Wen asked, obviously concerned. He always knew Olivia had a tough past. He was the only one she ever fully opened up to. "Olivia. Look at me. Look at me, Liv." He took her chin in his hand and gently titled her head up. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what. I'll always be beside you, catching you when you fall, lending you a shoulder to cry on and being your best friend." Olivia sniffed. It hurt her to see Wen so worried. However, she loved that he cared. But she had lost two already. She couldn't bear to lose another. "I know. But… I'm so sorry. Goodbye Wen." Olivia softly but firmly pushed him out of the door. "Olivia! Why are you doing this?" She heard Wen yelling and banging on the door. He sounded so hurt. She knew he only wanted her to be happy, to be safe, but she just couldn't risk it. Olivia ran up to her bedroom, her heart heavy. That was the worst thing she ever had to do. She sat on her bed and bawled her heart out.
