Dreams Last Forever
Part 8: Just be Friends?
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the IaHB characters, although that would be pretty cool... I do not own Daniel Alan Radcliffe either. His parents do. ;)
Dan never left Livvie's bedside. She slept when he didn't, and vice versa. Livvie had thought and thought about Caitie's request and if she could ever forgive Caitie for what she had done. She was a very nice person, and didn't like to make people get disappointed in any way. Finally, the day came where she had made her final decision. She would forgive Caitie.
A couple days later, everyone on the squad visited Livvie at the hospital. Even Brooke and Alex. Caitie trudged behind them, looking quite nervous, because she knew what would be coming next.
"How's the patient doing?" Hank asked.
"Well... my black eye is gone, my back doesn't hurt, my arm is healing... so basically, life is good." Livvie replied. Everyone laughed.
"How long have you been here?" Brooke asked.
"Ah.... Around 4 or 5 days." Livvie said.
"Seems longer." Alex said.
"You have no idea! Hospitals are so boring!" Livvie moaned.
"They're not supposed to be paradise." Val joked.
"No, I didn't know that." Livvie said sarcastically. Everyone laughed again.
"Hank told me that although you were hurting all over, you didn't lose your sense of humor." Alex said. Livvie snorted.
"I'll NEVER lose my sense of humor. It's in my contract." She said.
"You mean the two million dollar contract?" Val asked. Livvie blinked at Val.
"No, I mean THIS contract." Livvie pointed to the side of her head, as Val blushed.
Livvie finally spotted Caitie, and she fell silent. She knew what she had to do.
"Um...guys... I need to speak with Caitie." Livvie said. Everyone got up, and exited the room. It was silent for awhile, until Livvie finally stopped playing with her fingernails, and she spoke up.
"I've been thinking a lot about your request." Livvie said.
"Yeah....and?" Caitie asked.
"I have, however, decided that I WILL forgive you. You will be given one more chance. However, if that chance is ruined, then I won't be Miss Nice Girl, and I won't forgive you that time." Livvie said. Caitie exhaled with a sigh of relief.
"Just one question I want to ask you." Livvie said.
"What is it?" Caitie asked.
"Why did you continue to be so mean to me even after Jamie and I broke up?" Livvie asked. Caitie thought for a minute.
"You know... I think it was because I had always thought that I would be the first girlfriend in Jamie's life. And then when I found out that Jamie had liked you as a girlfriend, AND had asked you out, I felt like I lost hope, and I felt extremely jealous." Caitie said. Livvie nodded understandingly.

The next day, Livvie was released from the hospital. She had all her strength back, and celebrated by playing game after game of basketball with Dan.
"Yesss!" Liv hissed, after sinking the ball into the hoop winning the 5th game in a row.
"You are too good." Dan said.
"Yeah, I know." Livvie remarked gloating. Dan gave her a look.
"I'm going inside, I need some water." Dan said.
"All right." Livvie replied.
"You want some?" Dan asked.
"Yeah, sure." Livvie replied. Dan nodded, and went inside. Livvie dribbled the ball, and continued playing basketball. She practiced her jump shots, and her lay-ups.
"You're still good." A voice behind her said. Livvie jumped. She turned around, saw that it was Jamie, and ignored him. She continued playing and paid no attention to him.
"Livvie, we need to talk." Jamie said.
"There's no need." Livvie said to him.
"No, yes there is." Jamie said. It took Livvie awhile to respond.
"Fine. What do you want?" Livvie asked.
"I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am -- wait, let me finish," Jamie said as Livvie opened her mouth in protest. "I know that the night of the concert I was a jerk to you. I should not have taken advantage of my was girlfriend then but is my ex-girlfriend now with her leaving, by starting to date you. And I'm sorry. I don't want you to hate me, and since you found out a couple days ago, I don't hate you. Can we just be friends?" Jamie asked.
Livvie didn't know what to say. Ever since she had come to Kingsport, she had tried every way she could to avoid Jamie. But the fact was that every single minute she was alone by herself in Kingsport, Jamie just so happened to be in the same area as her.
"Livvie, I know that you don't want to hear me spe.... Hey Dan." Jamie mumbled. Dan had come back outside with 2 water bottles.
"Livvie, are you all right?" Dan asked. Livvie looked at Jamie, then at Dan. Then she ran inside and slammed the door. Big mistake. She didn't know that Jamie and Dan would get into a big argument.
"MAN, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HER?!" Dan screamed.
"ALL I DID WAS I APOLOGIZED AND ASKED HER IF WE COULD BE FRIENDS!" Jamie said.
"AND YOU EXPECTED HER TO SAY YES?! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!" Dan said back.
Livvie looked out the window at Jamie and Dan yelling at each other. She had another choice to make. And the answer wouldn't be easy.
