Special Surprise

I woke up screaming and Oliver came running to my side, tripping over the lamp.

"Sky, its okay you're awake! What happened? Did you have a bad dream?" Ollie pulled me onto his lap and wiped the dripping sweat from my forehead. I couldn't talk; I was so stunned by what just happened. It wasn't true, it couldn't be, and it was just a nightmare.

"Sky, please you are scaring me to death. What is wrong?" Ollie asked, his face was full of concern.

"It's Bliss." I chocked out.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked impatiently.

"She is the Silver Blood killer.." I cried out.

Oliver didn't have time to reply, my phone started ringing. He picked it up and didn't even say a word and hung up the phone a minute later.

"Come on, we are going home." Oliver jumped off the bed and started throwing my clothes into my suitcase. I didn't have to ask why, I knew why. It was Bliss all along and we never knew until now.

"Ollie, what do we do?" I questioned, I gained enough motivation to get dressed and pull my hair out of my face.

"That was Lawrence on the phone, they just found Bliss at the location where they found…" Oliver didn't finish his sentence.

"Found what?" I knew I should of said 'or whom?'

"Dylan and umm…" Oliver hesitated to continue.

Oh I should of known this would happen, "please Oliver, oh my god this cannot be happening." I sat down on the edge of the bed and let my face fall into the cup of my hands. I heard a soft cry and realized it was coming out of me. My life was turning all shades of gray, my best friend was the Silver Blood killer and my friends were dying all around me.

"Who was the other person?" I knew it wasn't Lawrence because he just called on the phone.

"Jack." Oliver whispered so softly.

My throat closed up and tears started streaming down my face. Jack. There was nothing I could say or do to bring him back. I looked over to my left where the recliner sat that Jack was asleep in last night. Wait..

"Wait, Jack he was here last night. It couldn't have been him, he is here-or was here." I choked out and smeared the tears off my face.

"I arrived early this-morning and Jack said he had to get home to taken care of something. I never asked what the thing was and he didn't act like he wanted to tell me. He took off and I was just cleaning things up when you woke up screaming. Plus he didn't need to be here when I showed up anyway. " Oliver explained.

"He had to of known then. Why else would he go home so soon and that early in the morning?" I sniffled and shut my red-rimmed eyes.

"I am not sure but we need to head out. Lawrence has a private jet waiting for us at the airport, it will take us a little while to get there even if we leave right now." He tossed my bags over his shoulder and helped me off the bed. I didn't blink I just stared at Oliver, how could he be okay with Jack and Dylan being dead? He was acting like this was nothing to be concerned about.

"Sky, please don't look at me like that. I am sorry, I know Jack meant something to you and it has always been hard for me to be around him. But I respect you and I want to get down to the bottom of this just as much as you do. But you have to trust me that I will do everything in my power to keep you safe from getting hurt, and if that means protecting you from your best friend then I will do it. There was nothing you could do for Dylan or Jack. Bliss was uncontrollable and Lawrence is taking care of her."

Oliver had dropped the bags during his speech and pulled me close to his body. Oh how much I had missed his smell and his messy hair. He looked beaten up but the same old Ollie was still there deep inside and still cared just as much for me. I couldn't reply I was still so shocked by all the news, so I did the best thing I could think of. I let my guard down and push my body into his and kissed him hard on the lips. His lips begin to move with mine as I tangled my hands in his messy hair. He pulled away all too soon but pushed me up against the wall and sent a trail of kisses from my neck to my ear down to my lips again. His hands were memorizing my body, getting use to the feel of my personal puzzle. I had to gasp for air minutes later, if only I didn't have to breath I would never let my lips leave his.

"Babe we need to-" Oliver tried to get in a few words but my lips were back in-twined with his before he got them all out. I was strong but not as strong as Oliver, he slowly let go of my waist and was pushing me off of him.

I sighed in return and gave up. "Okay I am better now we can go. Oh, and I believe you about caring and all, its hard for everyone right now. As long as you are here with me I think I can make it all right. " I bit my lip and winked at Oliver as he laughed at how flushed my face was.

"Lets go silly." Oliver picked up our bags and we both headed to the airport.


"We just loaded the plane, once we land I will give you a call. Bye." Oliver whispered into his small silver phone.

"Who was that?" I asked setting down my new favorite book 'City of Ashes'.

"Lawrence. He was just checking up on us making sure we bordered the plane all right. He seems pretty worried, but I guess he has his reasons." Oliver fluffed his pillow as he talked and laid his head on my shoulder and closed his eyes.

"Did he say what would happen to Bliss?" I questioned.

"Sky, you know the answer to that, plus babe you need some sleep before we land. We wont have much sleeping time when we get home. Plus after you seen my surprise you will know of other things to do then sleep." Oliver kept his eyes closed as he spoke but smiled as he thought about the 'surprise'.

"WHAT! Oliver you know I hate surprises." I yelled a little too loud because the pilot glared at me. Yes, Lawrence was loaning out his 'stunner' plane to some friends of his so we got stuck with the four-seated plane. I wasn't complaining, it was just small.

"Just think of it as a birthday present for both of us, except I know about it already. That's all I am saying for now." Oliver sat up and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me on the lips. "Don't worry about it, you need rest. Plus it's a good surprise."

"You are so going to ask for this when your birthday comes around." His birthday was only two days apart from mine and they both were coming up really soon. To be eighteen and out on my own. I reclined my seat and shut my eyes and dreamed about my own apartment. Oliver just laughed back at my comment. The next time I opened my eyes it was to Ollie's sweet voice telling me we were landing.

Lawrence had a black murdered out sedan waiting for us when we came down the plane stairs, I didn't even get to look at the sky for two minutes before we were wisped away to deal with the problems back home.

"Were are we going anyways? Oh and since when did you and Lawrence become best friends now that he doesn't even want to talk to me?" We were both in the back of the black sedan; my head was lying in Oliver's lap.

"Well Lawrence told us to wait for him at his house. Lawrence and Charles Force were going to handle business with Bliss and after that Lawrence is to meet us." Oliver spoke so sure of himself.

I didn't have to ask what handle business meant, they were going to kill her and I didn't even get to say good-bye. My heart ached to have whatever normal was back in my life- Bliss made me feel normal. I couldn't bear to think about Jack, it hurt too much and Oliver was right. He was in a better place now without his twin that would destroy his life for him if she had the chance. I almost felt sorry for Mimi-Jack was her twin they were always meant to be together and I am sure she felt like she lost apart of herself when Jack died. But maybe this would help Mimi in the long run also, a clean break from the one person that could never fulfill his duty of being Mimi's only.

I don't think I fully registered that Bliss, Jack and Dylan were gone for good. Time was all I needed before I would break down and wish I could of done something. Anything.

"Hey you okay?" Oliver questioned as he ran his fingers through my hair.

"Fine. Just thinking about somethings." I cleared my throat and smiled up at him.

"Want to talk about it?"

"It can wait for another time. Tell me more about my surprise?" I said trying to change the subject.

"Sorry can't right now." Oliver helped me sit up to see that we had arrived at Lawrence home. The house still looked the same as before but it was like a gray shadow lurked above the house. Weird.

We both made it into the house and set our bags next to the front door when Oliver's phone rang.

"Hello Lawrence. Yes of course, see you then." Oliver hung up his phone and walked into the living room.

"What did he have to say?" I moved the pillows off the tan plush couch and sat down.

"He is on his way, once he gets here and confirms everything went as planned I will show you your surprise." Oliver voice was weary.

"Is this even the time for a surprise? I mean we know Lawrence is going to say everything went as planned. Then what? We just go on as if nothing happened?" My face was getting hot. Nothing was right anymore, and I was sick of acting like its okay.

"Sky, babe I know its hard. It will be okay though, I won't ever leave you unless you ask me too." Oliver sat next to me on the couch and pulled me onto his lap.

"Promise?" I heard a car pull up and a car door slam shut.

"Promise." Oliver kissed me lightly on the lips before standing up off the couch just in time to greet Lawrence.

His face was full of sorrow and pain, he looked the same as the last time I seen him. But if he were human his face would be of an eighty year old man and his body would follow right inline.

"Sky. Oh its so good to see you are okay." Lawrence pulled me into his reach and hugged me with grace.

"I missed you too. How are things going?" I questioned.

"Okay. I am sorry to hear about all your friends, but that is why Oliver here has such a wonderful surprise for you. It's the best time for you to move on to something different then this life you have-or had here. Getting away will do you wonders." Lawrence explained.

I was so confused? How could Lawrence be on this surprise too? "You know about the surprise? From the sound of it, are we leaving here?" I was puzzled by all means.

"Yes but I wont make you go." Oliver was leaning up against the doorframe looking tired but happy at the same time.

"No, I want to see what you have in store for us. Will you visit Lawrence?" I asked.

"Of course, now you two run along, I have some more business to go take care of. Nothing bad, I promised Charles I would help with the families that lost their children today." Lawrence grabbed a bag off the table and pulled his coat off the rack. "Sky I will let you know more about the funerals when I get more information."

"Thanks. For everything." I hugged Lawrence one more time before he disappeared out the front door.

"Ready?" Oliver asked.

"Let's go." I laced my fingers with his as we made the same walk Lawrence did.


We took a flight to some unknown destination. Oliver still kept everything a secret; I had to close my eyes every time something with the name of the city came up at the airport. After we landed we drove two hours, up and down rounded hills and through two big snowstorms on the way. We ended up in front of a small cottage in the middle of Bozeman, Montana. The cottage was painted white with green shutters and an antique lantern hung on both sides of the front door.

"Is this it?" I asked patiently.

"Yes, it was my parents get-away retreat. I bought it from them and had some help fixing it up. Its yours now." Oliver whispered, "ours."

"I love it, this is prefect for both of us. How did you talk your parents into buying this? I mean the had to be a little sketchy about two teenagers moving into a house by themselves." I opened the car door slowly and let my eyes gaze over the storybook house.

"They understand everything, so it worked out well. Would you like to see the inside?" Oliver grabbed my hand and smiled as we strolled up to the front door. The inside was even better; it had a very home-like feel to it. Everything was in neutral color and I could smell a wood-burning stove in the distance. It was a dream of mine to have a house of my own someday, and this was exactly what I pictured.

"I love it." I walked into the kitchen to find a dinner for two set up at the table. I glanced at Oliver as he came up behind me.

"Want to see the upstairs?" Oliver whispered in my ear and a thunder of shivers ran up my spine. I followed him up the white painted stairs to find four closed doors, I knew behind one of them was our bedroom, if that's what he had planned. It was the one room I was most excited to see.

Oliver opened the first closed door to reveal a master bathroom equipped with a small-jetted tub in the corner and a two-person shower in the other corner. There was another door to the left inside the bathroom that Oliver led me too.

"This is for you." He opened the door to reveal a bedroom-our bedroom. The walls were a deep shade of red; the bed was high up off the ground with black iron bars surrounding the red comforter that lay upon it. The windows were covered with a cream colored fabric. It was beautiful, everything surrounding me made me feel happy and bliss. This was where Oliver and I would live our lives forever.

Oliver stayed quiet while I took in my surrounds, I moved over to the bed and sat down, tears were forming in the crease of my eyes. I looked up from the floor and motioned for Ollie to come sit next to me.

"Thank you, this is wonderful." I kissed Oliver quickly on the lips and pulled him close to get more. His body reacted to mine instantly; he laid me down on the millions of pillow surrounding the bed and pulled my shirt up over my head.

"Your welcome. Now this bed is brand new- I think we should break it in. What do you think?" Oliver and I both laughed at the same time.

My answer wasn't in words but in body language. I pulled Oliver's shirt up over his head and we both sank underneath the covers into our blissful place. For now this is what I needed, to be surrounded by the one who was always there for me through thick and thin. He was my soul mate if you though of it that way. I was hurting for my friend's deaths but I knew I would see them again when the right time came for me. For now I was alive and I wasn't going to waste another moment holding anything back.

The End.
