A/N: Hey, guys sorry I haven't updated in a while. I just got back from band camp today and had to rest up before I started up the writing again. Also schools about to start up soon so I'm going to try to update once a week, but if I can't you'll know why. Juggling school, tennis, work, and a life is very hard! But I'm back and ready to write. Love you all.
Olivia got back home Monday night from a huge blow out with Andrew. It started as a normal Monday till Andrew brought up her ignoring him for the weekend basically. One thing led to another and it lead to Andrew accusing Olivia of cheating on him with Fitz. Olivia was so rattled she changed right into her swimming suit and headed straight to the pool. She swam about a good hour. During that hour Olivia thought about nothing, but just gliding through water.
There was no drama between her and Andrew. Fitz and her were still best friend and everything was just blocked from the rest of the world. Olivia got out of the pool and dipped her feet in water. A few minutes later she heard the backyard gate close. It was Fitz. He took his sneakers off and join Olivia by the pool. They would always do this when one of them is frustrated or just need to vent.
" Hi." Fitz said softly.
" Hi." Olivia smiled and turned her head towards Fitz.
" What are you doing here?"
" I came to check up on you…." Fitz smiled. He had heard the huge fight between Andrew and Olivia. It took Jake and Steven to hold Fitz back because he was so close to going to beat up Andrew.
No one should disrespect his Livvie like that. To accuse her of cheating on his sorry ass, got Fitz all worked up.
" Sorry if I smell…..I've been at the courts…" Fitz laughed nervously.
" You've been at the courts?" Olivia asked unbelievably.
" Ah, yeah….I decided to get my game back since I haven't touched a ball in a year….." Fitz said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
" You're going to listen to me?" Olivia asked not believing what she was hearing.
" Yes, Livvie I'm going to listen to you." Fitz smiled.
" Wait, You don't need to check up on me Fitz, it's okay I'm fine. Why do you care anyway, didn't you hate me a few weeks ago?" Olivia raised her eyebrow.
" Livvie, I don't hate you I just was hurt and angry that you left that's all." Fitz answered honestly.
" I know that was foul of me to do so." Just as Olivia was about to continue on Jake came into the backyard. Jake sat next to Fitz and they did their "bro hand shake".
" Look, I've been meaning to get you two alone to clear the air….." Jake whispered.
" No, it's o…" Fitz started to say.
Jake held up his hand and continued to speak.
" That night at the party…..I was hurt and upset….I thought I loved Amanda and thinking that she cheated on me was unbearable. It was kind of my ego too. Liv came up and comforted me. I was drunk and I took her by surprise. I kissed her because she was there for me. Fitz, Liv didn't even kiss me back…...When you walked in she was still in shock of me kissing her….. You just took it the wrong way and flipped man...It's all my fault….
I ruined you guys….All because of my stupidity….I am so sorry guys….I don't deserve your forgiveness. Now things are just all messed up…." Jake hung his head in shame, and his eyes all glossy.
" Wait, so you're telling me that Olivia didn't kiss you back?" Fitz asked unbelievably.
" Yeah, man she was just in shock. You gotta have a little sympathy Fitz….She loved you and would never cheat on you…" Jake pointed out.
Olivia was very quiet. Her emotions were all over the place.
" Hey, man you are forgiven no worries. We are bros for life alright." Fitz pated Jake in the back.
" Thanks man….I um I'm going to get going and let you two talk." Jake got up.
" Night Jake….and thank you." That's all Olivia could say. Now finally Fitz knew the truth.
" Night, man." Fitz smiled. Jake said goodnight and left.
After a while Olivia finally looked at Fitz. His face was full of regret, longing, anger, and many other expression.
" Livvie…..I am so…" Fitz started to say.
" Hey, no don't apologize….I had it coming to me…..The way I left was absolutely ridiculous….I didn't you to know where I went because I wanted you to move on….I loved you, I loved you so much.
I did so much to hurt you! I just needed to escape from everything. Then Amanda came and I basically had my mind up. I'm sorry, I know what I did was unspeakable, NOT A DAY goes by as I don't regret it. I not only lost my best friend, but the love of my life." Olivia was crying now. Fitz took Olivia into his embrace and she sobbed. He was such an idiot for assuming and jumping to conclusion. Now they are all broken and she's in another mans arms.
" Livvie, when you left and the way you left killed me…...I'm not going to lie when you left like that it broke me. I EVERYTHING reminded me of you. That's why I had to quit basketball. I would go on the court and all of the memories would come back and I just couldn't handle it. I was a mess. I turned to alcohol. I almost died because of it, they had to take me to the hospital and pump my stomach…
I drank till I was passed out and the next day would drink again. So after being my stomach being pumped, I know I had to change. I was so angry Livvie, I had to find an outlet….That's why I turned to street fighting and became a womanizer….I just needed something to let my anger out on…..When you came back I was just so angry, and to think I planted around with stupid slut in front of you makes me sick...I am so sorry Livvie. I hope you don't forgive me because I wouldn't even forgive myself…" Fitz said in tears.
He had a chance with the love of his life, and instead of taking it, he decided to fuck it up.
" We've hurt each other so bad, and I am so sorry." Olivia and Fitz hugged.
" Why did you get tattoos?" Olivia always wanted to ask Fitz that. Not that he didn't look good with them, but she was curious.
" I just needed to express it differently…."
" Explain them to me, it's okay I won't be offended…."
Fitz took of his shirt and Olivia traced his tattoos. His whole right arm was covered. Then he had some on his back as well. Fitz pointed to the shattered heart on the inside of his arm and explained that he got it after Olivia left. Then showed where Alice's name was. On back of his upper there was an open scroll and vines surrounding it. Inside the open scroll there was a quote " To the World you may be one person, but to one person you are the world."
Olivia gasped when she read it because she knew it was about her. She was Fitz's world. Then the basketball. There was Roman numerals of the day he finally beat cancer and when he met Olivia. On his bicep was a cross and a rosary going around it, to represent his religion. The rest was filled with other meaningful tattoos. On his upper left back there was a quote " Courage is not having the strength to go, it's going on when you don't have the strength."
After he explained to her the tattoos, they both were silent.
" So where do we go from here…?" Fitz asked quietly.
" Fitz, I really don't know…..I have Andrew to think about, and after you hurt me so bad I'm scared, I'm scared Fitz. I can't go through it all again…..I love you, but I'm scared of being hurt all over again….." Olivia cried.
" I am such an idiot because I hurt you, and I let you slip through my fingers…..Livvie, I love you and I always will.
I understand that you have to protect your heart. Andrew is a lucky guy…. I guess when you love someone so much, you have to let them move on hih?" Fitz said as he wiped away his tears.
" What if I don't want to move on anymore?" Olivia whispered.
" You'd want me back?" Fitz raised his eyebrows.
" I do, but I'm just scared. I love you, I love you so much Fitz." With Olivia's admission, Fitz crashed his lips on to Olivia's. After a moment of shock, Olivia kissed Fitz back. The kiss was passion and longing filled. Olivia parted her lips to let Fitz anxious tongue in.
" OLIVIA WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Andrew yelled. He drive over to her house to apologize. Fitz and Olivia pulled apart.
Olivia went to Andrew.
" Andy, I am soooo sorry…..I just…."
" Save it Olivia. I can't believe this! HE'S JUST USING YOU! DID YOU KNOW THAT FITZ SLEPT WITH AMANDA THE NIGHT OF HOMECOMING?" Andrew yelled. He knew that would come to use. Inside Andrew was jumping for joy because now she will never go back to Fitz.
Andrew will forgive Olivia, because he loves her.
" What….?" Olivia gasped and ran into the house.
A/N: I know I'm terrible. Don't hate me….I do this out of love lol. Should I update " Stolen Experience or Love is not an option." next? REVIEWS! Tell me what you think of what will happen between Olitz, Andrew, and predictions.
