I suggest that this chapter to get the feel listen to Because of You by Kelly Clarkson.
And thanks everyone for the reviews.
While everyone set up for the sleepover Olivia turned on the television to her luck they were giving music videos on MTV which she realized they barley did lately. When she had put MTV on they were just finishing the song We Be Burnin' by Sean Paul. Then they put the new video by Kelly Clarkson "Because of You".
I
will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let
myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way
you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never
let it get that far.
Because
of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I
learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of
you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around
me
Because of you
I am afraid.
I
lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I
cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm
forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart
can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with.
Because
of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I
learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of
you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around
me
Because of you
I am afraid.
I
watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was
so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You
never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I
cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing.
Because
of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I
learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of
you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I
don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed
of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid.
Because
of you.
Because of you.
When the video finished Olivia thought about how much that song related to her. She thought she would cry but decided against it. She was sick of crying, she sheaded so many tears over that woman everyday of her life and it was sickening her. She felt guilty enough for bringing everyone into this problem. They might have said they wanted to help but they didn't have to, it wasn't their problem.
When she finished her thought she heard someone behind her. "You wanna know why we care about you so much?" She heard the voice of Marge behind her. It scared Olivia what her mom had just asked, as if she were reading her mind.
"Why would you think I was thinking that?" She asked very curious.
"Well for one I can see it written all over your face, and then there's the fact that I am your mom so you know I know stuff." She said with a small grin on her face. "So do you wanna know?" She asked again.
"Okay shoot." She said turning all the way around to where Marge was now taking her seat.
"Olivia I know its hard, what your going through but no matter what happens you'll always have someone there for you and that someone is us, I know your probably thinking that why after so long is everything I've known all this life away from me and why am I getting so much more back, well its simple really because it's what was meant to happen don't question it just trust it."
Olivia thought about her mother's words and looked at her. "That is one of the wisest things I have heard in a long time and I might listen to them." Marge stood up hugged Olivia and walked out of the room while the other teens came in.
"Hey Liv, you missed me?" Elliot said hugging her and giving her a kiss on the lips.
"No she missed me because I known her forever." Fin said coming up behind Jen who was holding a pillow and munchies in her hands.
"Yeah sure she might have missed you guys but she was crying for me." Greg said coming in last with the drinks in his hands.
"Can we please stop fighting over Liv and get this party started?" Katie said giving her friend a smile.
"Yeah Kat's right we have to PARTY!" Jen said putting an arm around Katie's shoulders.
Everyone in the room got up and Elliot went over to the stereo system and put on some mix cd Katie brought over full of reggeaton since she is Dominican so she decided it was time to give Her friends a taste of her music.
The first song to come on was "Cola Motora" By some Spanish guy she couldn't remember his name. They all started to dance really close kinda dirty like in the videos but they didn't care so they just danced until they got tired but they had their fun and Olivia got into the music too.
