Chapter 29


Coming out of science at the end of the day, I felt someone grab my arm. I turned around to see a very angry Lauren.

"Are you going to tell me what the fuck is wrong with you? Finn said you went mental with him at lunch; you've been acting weirdly since the party! Explain now Olivia because this is annoying the hell out of me!" She snapped.

"Why do you need to know?" I asked, pulling my arm out of her grasp.

"Well you've been my best friend for basically forever. I didn't think I would need a reason to know what's got you like this." She snapped back. "And you can all piss off!" She yelled at everyone in the corridor watching us.

"And you should know that I don't really talk about feelings and shit." I said when everyone had left.

"And look where that has got you. You know were all worried about you, you know? Annie told me about what you said Sunday morning." She said quietly.

"She had no right too!" I shrieked.

"And she told me because your family is worried about you too!" She defended my niece.

"Yeah, and have you spoke to her today? Because if you had, you would find out she knows 'what is wrong with me' alright?" I snapped, before starting to walk off.

"Do you remember what you made me promise on Saturday night?" She called as I was about to open the door.

"What?" I asked confused, not knowing what she was talking about.

"You probably wouldn't because you were that pissed. You made me promise I would never leave you know matter what? How am I meant to keep that promise when you're acting like this?" She asked.

"Please just leave it Lauren. If I was to tell you, you would forget about that promise." I said, before opening the door and heading to meet Rachel in her office.


That night, I sat in the front room, staring at the telly with Annie. None of us bothered moving when we heard the front door, and a couple of seconds later, Lauren, Tamara and Madi walked into the front room. Annie quickly excused herself, turning the telly off on her way out.

"What's going on Liv?" Madi asked when they had all sat down.

"I can't tell you." I said, resting my chin on my knees and looking at them.

"Yeah you can Liv. Whatever you have done, were not going to judge you for it." Lauren said.

"You say that now, but you don't know yet." I said as tears began to fall.

"Well it must be pretty serious, we were all talking about it at Madi's, we just came from there, anyway, you're like… The kindest person I know. You can't have done anything that bad." Tamara said.

"Someone came into my room at the party when I was sleeping. They… Oh god." I whispered it so quietly, I doubt they would have heard. I couldn't bring myself to say what had happened.

"What do you mean?" Madi asked. I heard Lauren hiss something at her before coming to squeeze into the chair next to me.

"Do you know who it was?" Lauren asked. When I shook my head, she wrapped her arms around me.

"Liv, why didn't you tell us babe?" Tamara said.

"Because." I sniffled. "If everyone finds out, I'll just get pity off everyone or be viewed as filth. And I don't want that."

"Well, no one but us needs to know. Although, I think you should tell Finn." Lauren said

"He thinks you're going to dump him." Madi said softly.

"I don't know yet. When he finds out, he probably won't want to be with me anymore." I told her, wiping my tears away.

"Olivia Jane Mason. Do not be so stupid!" Lauren screeched from beside me. I looked at her confused. "That boy loves you so much. If you were to tell him, he wouldn't judge you! He would want to hunt down whoever it was and shoot them or something!"

Mia decided at that moment to toddle into the front room chasing Ozzie. I smiled at her and she quickly walked off from chasing the cat and over to the chair me and Lauren were squeezed into.

"Up." She said, stretching her arms out and giving her puppy dog eyes.

I quickly lifted her up and tickled her belly. She started shrieking with laughter and tried fighting to make me stop.

"Meow!" She said, pointing at my cat sat on the back of the chair.

Madi quickly went upstairs to get the television remote off Annie before switching Hollyoaks on.

"I missed you you know." Lauren said softly when the others were engrossed in the show and Mia had fell asleep. I looked at her confused so she elaborated. "It felt weird, sitting with you although you weren't actually with us if that makes sense? I really think you should tell Finn. None of us will turn away from you Liv. You need to realise that were all friends and will stick by you no matter what."

I looked at Mia's peaceful face and started to whisper back. "I feel disgusting Lauren. I figured if I couldn't stand to even look at myself in the mirror, then you lot couldn't stand to be around me."

"We would never leave you Liv. What happened on Saturday was not your fault." She told me softly.

At that moment, I smiled my first proper smile since the party. I can get through this If my friends and family are by my side.
