Olivia didn't think she was going to see Matt again for a while, she was going home and wouldn't even see Jay for another month or two. Little did she know that she would be pleasantly surprised.
" Hey Olivia!" a voice called to her as she was walking towards her plane. She turned to see Matt running towards her with a handful of flowers. She stopped and smiled at him. As he was running the flowers were falling apart and drooping the petals all over the airport floor.
" Hi Matt, I didn't expect to see you here." she said as he stopped in front of her. He looked down at the almost non-existent flowers in his hand, then at the floor behind him. He grinned an embarrassed grin and handed her the stems anyway.
" Sorry." he said, with the voice of a little boy that had just got caught picking his mean neighbor's flowers for his girlfriend.
" That's okay." Olivia said smiling back. " I guess Jay told you that I was leaving." she said as they began to walk to the gate. Matt took her bag and carried it for her. She smiled at him.
" No actually, Jay said he didn't know where you were, Adam and Jeff told me." Matt said. Olivia looked at Matt strange.
" Matt, Jay knew I was leaving today." she said.
" Why didn't he tell me? He knew that I wanted to see you again before you left." Matt said puzzled. Olivia got a bad feeling that Jay was up to something.
Matt walked Olivia to the gate and waited with her till her plane boarded. They stood there as the people walked on.
" Well, I guess this is it for a while." Olivia said, sighing. She really didn't want to leave Matt, but she had no choice. Matt just shook his head and looked up at her.
" Can I kiss you?" He asked as the final boarding call was announced.
" Yeah. I'd like that." she said as Matt leaned in and kissed her. They pulled away a minuet later and Olivia looked at the plane. " I've got to go Matt. I'm sorry." she said as she turned and went to the plane.
" Bye Olivia." Matt called after her. She turned and walked backwards.
" Bye Matt." she said, as he watched the door close.
Matt sighed and began to walk back down the terminal alone, and missing Olivia already.
Olivia found her seat and sat down. Luckily there was no one beside her so she put her bag on the seat beside her and looked down at the demolished flowers that Matt had given her. She smiled and thought about the time that she broke her arm when she was six years old and Jay picked her some flowers from their mom's garden. She had never gotten any flowers before and she thought she was the most special person in the world when Jay handed them to her. Olivia looked up an heard a voice yelling.
" If you don't sit down you little brat then I'm gonna beat you so that you can't sit down." a woman said to a small girl who was crying about three rows in front of her.
" But mommy I don't wanna go on the plane." the girl said back. She heard a smack and more crying.
" Tough, your only five, you don't know what you want." the mother said, fastening the girl into the seat belt and sitting down beside her.
Olivia remembered all the times her real mother left her all alone at their apartment. She was always so scared. Her mother was gone for weeks at time, leaving Olivia all alone. Her mother always left a bowl of water in the fridge in case she got thirsty, other than that Olivia was on her own. The bowl of water was the only thing in the fridge, unless she found a renegade cheese slice that was almost two months old, if that happened, she'd be set. She could eat one cheese slice for about two weeks. That last time was when she was taken away from her mother. She didn't even know who her father was.
The Reso's were a nice family who already had three children, all boys. The oldest was Michael, at the time Olivia was adopted he was eleven , the middle, Jay was nine and Bradley was eight . Mrs. Reso had always wanted a little girl, but couldn't have anymore children after she had Bradley because of a cancer she developed in her ovaries after he was born. They heard about Olivia's story and they immediately wanted to at least meet her. They all fell in love with her the first time they saw her. She had cute little brown curls in her hair, a button nose and big green eyes. They signed the adoption papers that afternoon.
Olivia loved her brothers for the most part. They always looked out for her and took care of her. But at times they could be a tad overbearing. Jay especially. He was always there watching her, making sure that she didn't get hurt, because that was what Michael did for Bradley. And Jay wanted to be just like Michael. Jay felt horrible when Olivia broke her arm, and thought it was his fault. She had been on her bicycle and fallen off. Jay had went in the house to get something to drink for them and told Olivia to keep practicing while he was gone. It had training wheels on it, it should have been safe, but one of the cheap plastic wheels snapped off and sent Olivia to the ground.
The plane landed an hour and a half later in Toronto and she walked out of the tunnel to see her mom and dad waiting on her.
" Hi mom, Hi dad." she said hugging the both of them.
" Oh Livy, we missed you so much." he dad said. She walked with them down to the baggage claim area.
" So sweetie, did anything interesting happen when you were with Jay?" her mom asked.
" Well, kind of." she said getting red at the thought of Matt. Her dad noticed this.
" Your getting awfully red for a 'kind of'." He said, chuckling.
" I met this guy. He was really sweet and nice and he gave me flowers, sort of. He's a really nice guy." she said. Her parents smiled at her.
" That's good sweetie. You need a life outside the paper." her dad said.
" I know dad." she said as she picked up her bag.
" Does this guy have a name?" her mom asked.
" Matt Hardy. He works with Jay." she said, as they began walking to the car.
" That's good honey." her dad said helping her put her bag in the back of the car. Olivia got in the car and they drove home, with her thinking of Matt the whole time.
Matt charged into the locker room in a rage.
" Where the hell is Jason?" he demanded to the others in the room. Adam looked at him.
" I don't know man, what the fuck got your shorts in a wad?" Adam said.
" Jay knew that Olivia was leaving today and he never said a damn thing to me about it." Matt said sitting down beside Drew.
" Oh," Adam said, looking down. He had fucked up. He wasn't supposed to tell Matt that Olivia was leaving today. Jay wanted Matt to think that Olivia didn't want to see him anymore.
" What was that about Adam? Do you know something I don't?" Matt asked, seeing the look on Adam's face.
" Jay doesn't want you and Olivia to see eachother." Adam said. He thought Jay was just being silly and he didn't see why they couldn't see eachother again.
" Why?" Matt asked slightly shocked.
" He thinks that you will just leave her as soon as you find another little thing to fuck. He's trying to fight Olivia's battles for her. I told him that she can handle it herself, but I don't think I got through. He just doesn't understand that you won't hurt her. Would you hurt her?" Adam said looking at Matt. Matt looked into Adam's eyes.
" I would never ever hurt Olivia." Matt said. Adam knew that he ment every word he said.
" I'll go talk to Jay again." Adam said getting up. Jay walked into the room.
" Hu?" He said, hearing his name. Matt stood up.
" Why are you trying to keep me and Olivia apart?" he said angry. Jay looked at Matt.
" Because you can't trust a Hardy. That's why." Jay said with anger in his voice. Everyone looked at Jay in shock. They didn't know that Jay felt this way about Matt and Jeff. Jay spun around, grabbed his bag and flew out the door.
Everyone looked at Adam. They thought he'd have some insight on why Jay was acting this way, seeing as how they are best friends.
" Don't look at me. I had no idea that he felt like that. I don't know what the hell he's talking about." Adam said honestly. He had no idea why Jay was acting like this. " Let me go talk to him, maybe I can find something out." he said getting up and leaving the room. Adam walked down the hall and came to a trail of broken and thrown around lamps, tables, and food.
" Jay must have came through here." he said under his breath. He saw Barry (Bull Buchannon, I think that was his name..) and Charles (the Godfather, Goodfather whatever) standing up by a door and he walked up to them.
" Ah, come to be saved by the Right to Censor?" Barry said laughing. Adam smiled. (A/N: See, I told you it was old :)
" Sean may be in the RTC, but just because he is doesn't mean that I have to be." Adam said, he then remembered his task. " Have you guys seen Jay?" he asked. (Sean is Val Venis)
" Yeah, he came tearing through here about two minuets ago, why?" Charles asked.
" Jay is trying to keep Olivia and Matt apart." Adam said. Barry and Charles got quiet.
" Oh, we didn't know." Barry said. Everyone knew how Jay was when it came to Olivia.
" I've got to go see what is wrong with him." Adam said, walking on down the hall way.
" Good luck." Charles said to him.
" Thanks. I'll need it." Adam said. He turned the corner and saw Jay sitting on the floor with his fists clenched so tight his knuckles were white. "Jay, what's wrong with you?" Jay looked up at Adam and he saw a look in Jay's eyes that he had never seen before. So much hatred, yet so much fear.
" He's trying to steal Livy from me." Jay said. The fear overcoming the hatred for a brief moment.
" No he's not Jay. Livy is never going to be taken from you, she's your sister. She can never be taken from you. You have to remember that." Adam said. He was trying with all his might not to just beat up Jay right there. He was being stupid in Adam's eyes. Jay didn't understand how much pain he would be causing Olivia and Matt if he kept them apart.
" Matt will just hurt her Adam. You don't see that. I see it. I understand it. Olivia needs me to protect her. I can't let her get hurt." Jay said.
" Jason, Olivia is 23 years old. She's a big girl, she can fight her own battles. She'll get hurt even if you try to protect her. Jay, she's getting to the point where she hates you. The only reason she met Matt was because of you. You made her cry, she went to the steps and Matt took care of her."
" No Matt took advantage of her."
" You can be a real ass Jay. Did you know that?" Adam said. " I'll see to it that Matt and Olivia are happy. There's no way in hell you can stop me. Remember, this is what you wanted for her. And that is what she is getting. Happiness with a man that loves her. You can't take that from Matt, Jay. You may try to take Olivia from him, but he'll always love her. I saw it in his eyes." Adam said. He turned and took off back for the locker room. He was going to make sure that Jay wouldn't interfere with Matt and Olivia's happiness.
" Hey Olivia!" a voice called to her as she was walking towards her plane. She turned to see Matt running towards her with a handful of flowers. She stopped and smiled at him. As he was running the flowers were falling apart and drooping the petals all over the airport floor.
