As soon as Olivia was released from the hospital, Peter brought her to her
house to pack. As she went through her drawers she found stuff that brought
up memories. Even the room brought back memories.
Olivia packed almost everything in her drawers. Then she walked across the
room to her vanity to get her diary, writings, and pictures out of the
drawers. She felt a prick on her foot, Olivia looked down and saw the
knife, the knife that she once tried to hurt herself with and Marc stopped
her. He was trying to protect her and Olivia just did something ten times
worse and now she was going away. Olivia sat down in the chair, leaned over
and picked up the knife, she stared at it. She stared at every groove and
the pricks of each tooth as she started to tear up and cry.
"You okay Liv?" Olivia heard Peter call up the stairs and also heard his
footsteps.
Olivia ran across the room through herself on the bed so that she could toss
the knife in the garbage pail on the other side of the bed.
"Liv is everything alright?" he asked.
"Yeah Peter everything is great!" Olivia answered her while forcing a smile
across her face.
"You almost ready to go?" he asked not wanting to rush her, but also not
wanting her to be late.
"Yeah, I just need to get a few more things" Olivia answered while shaking
her head.
About ten minutes later Olivia stood in the middle of her floor, and took
one last look because she wouldn't be able to see it again in so long if not
ever again. Olivia picked up her bags and walked over to the door, she
looked again taking a mental picture. She flipped the light off and shut the
door. Peter came up to the top of the stairs and helped Olivia carry her
bags to the car. He drove her to the clinic to say her last goodbyes to
them. She walked in greeted by the usual air conditioning breeze. Lana was
sitting behind the desk, writing something in chicken scratch.
"Lana" Olivia said while standing to the side of her.
"Olivia, well you go get better and then you come back and see me okay?" Lana
said now standing up getting ready to give her a hug.
"Goodbye Lana I'll miss you" Olivia said.
"Child this isn't goodbye, this is see you later" Lana said to Olivia
staring into her eyes and then letting her go discrete with the others.
Olivia then walked away from Lana's desk and started to walk slowly towards
Lu's office. Olivia hesitated for a second and then tapped on the door.
"Come in" she heard Lu greet.
Olivia cracked open the door before fully opening it to let herself in. She
saw that Lu was sitting at her desk; Olivia plopped down in one of the seats
staring up at her.
"Olivia I want you to know that I'm glad that you didn't fight your Uncle on
the bases of going. But I really wish that you would reconsider not saying
goodbye to Marc" Lu said.
"Lu I decided to go because I know that I need help. With Marc I'm sticking
with my final decision because, because seeing him one last time before I
leave would be painful, maybe too painful. If we were meant to be together
forever then we'll get back together again someday in the future" Olivia
stated. "Plus I'm going to be writing letters" Olivia added in.
Olivia and Lu hugged goodbye before Liv ran down to the ER to see Nick. The
ER was busy but Olivia snuck through when she saw Nick free. She hugged him
and said goodbye. Olivia turned her back to the ER and then her back to
clinic as she made in her mind the walk of shame. Then her and Peter got
into the car and started to drive, Olivia didn't know how far this place
was, but they had been driving for so long that Olivia had fallen asleep.
"Liv, Olivia wake up sweetheart" Peter said as Olivia slowly started to
stir awake.
She started to rub her eyes as they slowly started to open. "Where are we?"
Olivia asked having no clue where they were.
"We are at the place, come on there expecting you" Peter told her.
They started to get out of the car, Peter went to the trunk and got
Olivia's bags out. They started to walk towards the door of the facility.
Soon enough a tall, skinny man came to the door and opened it.
"Hi, you must be Peter and Olivia. Welcome my name is Dean Thomason. Please
come in" he said as kindly as possible and moved to let them enter. "Donovan
will be taking your bags to your room Olivia" he said as Donovan took the
bags out of their hands.
Olivia stood there quietly as they both got a tour. The place was big, as
Olivia look at each room she thought this is too good to be true. She felt
her Uncle's reassuring hand on her back and when she looked up he gave her a
smile. As they walked down the hallways at one moment Dean just stopped.
"This is Olivia's room; your schedule is on your bed. You can say your
goodbyes and then see yourself out" Dean said while looking at Peter. Peter
just nodded his head.
Olivia and Peter looked at the door and then did the honors of turning the
knob. When the door opened it was a nice room, but with two beds. They
walked inside, Olivia's stuff was positioned by one of the beds.
She collapsed on the bed as Peter shut the door. "I guess I'll take this
one" Olivia said looking at Peter.
"Olivia try to get through this fast because we want you back soon" Peter
said trying so hard to hold his emotions back
They both hugged before Peter finally let go and left. As she saw Peter
walked out the door, Olivia saw how real this actually was. Olivia was soon
after greeted by a knock at the door. She got off the bed and Dean was
standing there with another girl who had stuff, guessing that she was new
also.
"Olivia this is your roommate Desselyn. I figured that you two could help
each other out" he said as he left the room and the two girls alone.
Olivia moved out of the way of the door so the girl could come in with her
stuff. Soon enough the two girls started to talk.
"So Desselyn why were you sent here?" Olivia asked starting to refold her
clothes into the dresser that was there.
"Please call me Dessy, and I'm here because my mom died, my dad didn't want
me, so he just said that I was crazy and sent me away" she answered still
looking at the clothes in her bag.
"I'm sorry Desselyn, I mean Dessy" Olivia said sincerely.
"I'm not" she said flat out, "my dad was a drunk and from what I see of this
place so far its not that bad" she continued. Then she looked up from her
bag and over at Olivia "So why are you here Olivia?" she asked before
continuing to unpack her bag.
"Please call me Liv, um I um kind of started to cut and one day I got really upset and I overdosed on pills. My uncle who's a nurse said that it would be best for me to come
here and get better." Olivia answered.
"You lived with your Uncle?" she asked wanting to get to know her roommate
better.
"For a short while, after I fell off the roof. Well almost, I had two guys
help me down after my mom who was drunk and one of her drunk friends were at
the house and the guy tried to attack me" Olivia said.
Dessy who was looking really kind of scared said "What about your dad? Didn't
he have anything to say?"
"I, I never met my dad. He a, he raped my mom and then 9 months later I was
born. They never caught him" Olivia said now sitting on the bed and looking
at the floor.
Dessy came over and sat down next to her and took one of my hands "Just
because your biological dad was a bad person does not make you a bad person.
So far as of me spending time with you, you are a great person." She said
with a smile.
They both hugged each other and decided that for today that was enough
talking about sad stuff. Then there was a knock at the door, they both
looked at each other and then Dessy went to go open it. A girl stood
behind the door and told Dessy that it was time for group counseling in the green room that they use for meetings. Dessy and Olivia both arrived there and saw how big the
group actually was.
1 month later:
"Marc" Olivia screamed as she saw her boyfriend that had come to visit her.
He also brought Peter.
"Olivia" he said as she wrapped her arms around him
"I missed you so much baby" Marc whispered into her ear.
"I missed you too, I love you so much" Olivia said as they started to pull
apart.
"I love you too" he said as they sat down at the table.
"Hi Peter" she said as she got up and walked around the table and gave him a
hug. .
As Olivia gave Peter a hug she looked over at Marc and noticed a hickey on a
part of his neck that was covered by part of his shirt. Olivia decided
that she wasn't going to say anything yet.
"So Liv how much longer do you have in here?" Marc asked hoping that his
girlfriend would get out before junior year would start.
"Mr. Thomason the director said that I should be out two days before the
first day of school, so it will be August 28th." Olivia said happily.
"How is it in here?" Peter asked wanting her to be honest with him.
"It's nice in here actually, my roommate Dessy is great and even though
there are stupid rules whenever our room door is closed were laughing and
having fun. We think of this place as a college dorm except the classes
like you to talk about your feelings" Olivia answered with a smile.
"That's great" Peter started to say, when Mr. Thomason walked over.
"Peter I was wondering if I could talk to you for a moment" he asked.
Peter looked at Olivia first wanting to spend as much time with her as
possible "Go ahead Peter, Marc and I could walk around the walk way while
you two talk" Olivia said with a smile, really wanting to talk to Marc
alone.
"Okay" Peter said as he and Mr. Thomason walked to the side.
Olivia took Marc's hand and led him over to the door that led to beautiful
scenery. They stopped on the little balcony and then walked down the stairs
and started to walk the path.
"How's Chels?" Olivia asked, wanting to make small conversation before
asking a big question that could possibly and most likely ruin their
relationship.
"Chelsea is good; she says hi and wishes you luck. My mom and Lana, Nick
and just about everyone at the hospital do too" he said with a smile.
They got half way through the walk when Olivia thought that it was either
now or never to ask. Olivia took a deep breath and then she got lost in the
memory of the first day that they met and then Sandy walked up to them.
Olivia squeezed his hand hard, he smiled and then looked into my eyes and
smiled. He stopped and went in to give Olivia a kiss and she turned her
head.
"Olivia what is wrong, we haven't kissed in like over a month and we're
finally alone and have a chance and you don't want to?" Marc stated.
"Well observing the hickey that is covered by the collar of your shirt, you
really did have a hard time staying faithful to me. So whose lips have you
been with?" Olivia asked angrily. "You know what it doesn't even matter" she
said and left him standing there.
"Olivia, Olivia" he yelled repeatedly.
"What Marc, are you going to say that it was a mistake. That it didn't mean
anything that you still and always have been in love with me. So you know what
forget it, you no you tried to break up with me once well now I'm doing it,
were over:" Olivia screamed at him since she was so upset.
Olivia went running back to her room, without even saying goodbye to Peter.
She laid down on her bed and covered her face with the pillow. Olivia
screamed as loud as she could, she moved her head to the side so that she
could let out a breath and then started to cry.
Marc walked up to Peter still trying to figure out what he was exactly going
to say.
"Hey Marc, where's Olivia?" Peter asked as he just finished up with Dean.
"She got tired and wanting me to tell you that she is sorry for not coming
back and saying goodbye, but she went to her room" Marc answered.
"Okay well then were going to get going" Peter said thinking that it was
weird that Olivia wouldn't come and say goodbye but he just left it.
Dessy had opened the door to a darkroom after visiting with her Aunt Kilda.
She flicked the lights on and dropped on her bed still thinking that she was
the only one there. She thought to herself Olivia would still probably be
sucking face with her cute boyfriend Marc. Then Dessy heard a noise come
from inside the bathroom, like something had dropped. She picked up the bat
that her and Olivia kept by the bed even though they were always safe. Dessy
went to go open the bathroom door when she found that it was locked.
"Olivia is that you?" she called through the door as she placed the bat down
on the floor.
Olivia tried her best to clear her voice and make it sound like she wasn't
upset. "Yeah Des it's me" she answered.
"You okay, what happened?" Dessy asked after noticing how upset she sounded
through her voice. Without hearing a sound after a couple of seconds Dessy
knocked again "Liv, let me in Livyy" she said.
Olivia slowly moved to the door and unlocked the knob, allowing Dessy to let
herself in. Dessy turned the knob and saw Olivia sitting there on the floor,
her back leaning up against the tub. She had pictures sprawled across the
floor, Dessy recognized one as Marc, Chelsea and Liv. There was another one
of a whole bunch of doctors and nurses and another one of just a women.
"Liv what are you doing?" Dessy asked getting scared.
Olivia said nothing and just lifted the bottom part of her shorts a little
to reveal 4 more fresh cuts. Olivia still just sat there, which seemed like
she was just drained.
"Liv are you stupid if they see that you'll have to stay longer and you were
doing so good" Dessy started to say and then realized that Olivia wouldn't
do that without a good excuse.
"What happened?" Dessy asked again.
