Part 8: Good-bye

AN: This is the last part of my fic...I've enjoyed it, but I've grown tired
of In a Heartbeat.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own IaHB in any shape way or form. :P

**After the concert**

Livvie came through the door, her knees wobbling. She shut the door, and
headed upstairs wishing Tyler wasn't downstairs. Her wish did not come true.
"Livvie! How was the concert?" Tyler asked. He immediately knew something
was wrong the second he saw tears.
"Livvie? What's wrong?" Tyler asked. Liv took a seat on the couch. She didn't
know Val was there.
"Hi Val." She said, sniffling.
"What happened?" Tyler asked a bit more sternly. Livvie took a deep breath.

*Flashback*

"This is so much fun." Livvie said.
"Yeah. Great." Jamie said, without any hint of interest in his voice.
"Jamie? What's wrong?" Livvie asked.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." Jamie said, avoiding her eyes.
"No. Seriously. What's going on?" Livvie asked.
"I SAID NOTHING ALRIGHT!!" Jamie said. Jamie made the biggest mistake he
could ever do. He hit her.

*Present*
"I'll twist his arm limb from limb." Tyler growled.
"That's not it." Livvie said tearfully.
"Go ahead." Val said quietly.

*Flashback*

"Oh, hi Jamie!" A girl said happily.
"L-Lisa! Um... what are you doing here?" Jamie asked, panicky.
"Change of plan...my parents came back, because I missed you so much!"
Lisa said.
"Oh! Um...great." Jamie said.
"Jamie? Who is this?" Livvie asked.
"Oh um...friend." Jamie said.
"Friend? I'm his girlfr--" Lisa started saying.
"What?" Livvie asked. Jamie hung his head.

*Present*

"Oh, Liv! This is so awful!" Val said. Tyler lifted up Liv's shirt. Sure
enough, red marks were on there."
"I'll kill him." Tyler said.
"Tyler!" Val said.
"What?! HE HURT MY COUSIN!" Tyler said.
"Tyler, leave it alone." Livvie pleaded.
"How?" Tyler asked.
"Just..." Livvie was saying. Instead of finishing her sentence, she ran
upstairs.

*Monday*

"Hey Livvie." Jamie said softly. Tyler tensed.
"Tyler... It's fine." Livvie said.
"Let me talk to him." She pleaded. Tyler nodded and left.
"So..." Jamie trailed off.
"So what?" Livvie asked coldly.
"I'm really sorry about Friday." Jamie said. Livvie totally lost it.
"SORRY?! AFTER YOU DITCHED ME, AND SLAPPED ME, YOU'RE SORRY?!" Livvie shouted.
There were people looking at her, but she didn't care. All this rage came
out of her.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME?! DO YOU?! NO, YOU DON'T!
WHEN MY PARENTS DIED, ALL THESE PEOPLE WERE MAKING FUN OF ME... SAYING IT
WOULD HAPPEN TO ME TOO! I WASN'T LOVED BY MY PARENTS ANYMORE... I HAD TO COME
HERE. I THOUGHT I WAS LOVED AGAIN, BUT I WAS WRONG... YOU LIED, AND YOU CHEATED
ON ME, SO DON'T YOU DARE APOLOGIZE FOR DOING THAT!!!" Livvie screamed.
The hallway was silent. Livvie had tears in her eyes. She picked up her stuff,
and walked away from Jamie.
"Livvie, wait.." Jamie said. Livvie turned around.
"No." She finally said shakily.
"Excuse me?" Jamie asked.
"I said NO!" Livvie said.
"W-Why?" Jamie asked.
"Because I am SO disappointed in that way you treated me.... I can't believe
you. Get away from me." Livvie said icily. She brushed past Jamie and left
for her class. As she left, all the people in the hallway started to applaude
and cheer. Livvie was once for her life, liked.
