This is the first chapter where I really had a character just thinking to themselves. Thoughts will be in Italics. In the last chapter, Olivia had to lie and sneak in to see Seth. Luckily for her, Seth played along and she was allowed to stay. Later when Stephanie and Triple H arrive and Olivia finally sees his wound she feels guilty about it and leaves him room upset. Stephanie went after Olivia and talked to her about the situation and Triple H was busy talking with Seth about what he would be doing when he returned to action. During their conversations, Seth and Olivia both realize that they had feelings for each other. Another thing Seth found out is that someone found Olivia's car, even though it was hard for him, he was sure that Olivia wanted to move on with her life so he told her that it would be best for both of them if they moved on. He realizes the mistake he made and snuck out of his room to find her. Olivia was heartbroken when Seth sent her on her way, she thought that maybe he had feelings for her, but now was sure that he didn't. Just as she was going to get in her car, she hears someone calling for her.
Not So Bad
Chapter Eleven
Olivia wanted to move on with her life, she had her car and all of her stuff back, she wanted to move on and forget the pain that she felt. She loved Seth, he had done so much for her and yet he didn't want anything else to do with her. He even sacrificed his life to save her. She wasn't surprised he didn't want anything else to do with her, she had been more trouble than she's worth. She lived with Ryan, but she wasn't going to go back to his house, there were too many painful memories there. She knew her mother wasn't going to let her move back in; her mother kicked her out when she was eighteen. Before she moved in with Ryan, she paid rent each month for a trailer. She would hopefully move back in that same trailer, find a job, and pay rent. She didn't know what it was, but something kept her there at that spot in the parking lot, she kept thinking about Seth and couldn't move on. Finally she wiped the tears from her eyes and thought about love only being a fairy tale, and that no one would ever really love her.
"Move on Olivia... it was just your mind wanting you to believe that he loved you. He cared for you maybe like a friend, but he didn't love you. No one has ever loved you, and no on ever will. The sooner you accept that the better your life will be."
Olivia finally found the strength to move on. She opened her car door and was prepared to move on when she heard someone calling her name.
Seth couldn't believe he was able to sneak out of his room without anyone noticing. He couldn't believe he made the mistake of letting Olivia go. She had been the best thing that came along in his life and he let her go. He got out of the elevator and followed a sign to the parking lot. Every step he took hurt, but it would hurt even more if Olivia was out of his life forever.
"I'm such an idiot. How could I let Olivia go like that? She's made you a better man and you were going to let go of the best thing that happened in your life. I don't know if she even loves me back, but surely she feels something. I saw the pain in her eyes as she left. You could have just broken her heart, she's got her stuff back why does she need you? I've got to find her and tell her everything. I just hope I'm not to late."
Seth finally got out to the parking lot and looked around for Olivia. He spotted her off in the distance. She had her car door open and was about to drive out of his life. He yelled at her as loud as he could and hoped that she could hear him. He yelled as loud as he could in hopes of getting her attention.
Olivia knew the voice and looked around. When she saw him, she was sure she was dreaming again. Seth was supposed to be in his hospital bed. She was sure that her mind was playing tricks on her until she heard him yell for her again.
"Olivia!"
She looked at him and knew he was really there.
"Seth?!"
He was out of his hospital bed and was making his way over to her. A big smile formed on Olivia's face as her heart pounded in her chest. She saw he was in a lot of pain, but he was still trying to get to her. Finally she couldn't take it anymore and started running towards him. After that it only took about twenty seconds for them to reach each other. Olivia almost forgets that he is hurt and hugs him tight. Tears come to her eyes again, only this time they were tears of joy.
"Oh my God... Seth what are you doing out here? You're not supposed to be out of bed."
Seth tries to ignore the pain he felt at his ribs and hugged her back.
"I know, but I couldn't let things end the way they were going to end. I had to stop myself from making the biggest mistake of my life. I'm glad I got down here when I did, otherwise I could have lost you forever. You were literally about to drive out of my life."
"I thought you said it would be best for both of us if we moved on?"
"I did say that, and that could have been the stupidest thing I've ever done. I was sure that since you had your stuff back that you would want to move on. I was just so worried that you would move on and forget about me."
"How could I forget about the guy that risked his life for me? We've only known each other two weeks, I still can't believe you would do that for me."
"Do you know what's hard for me to believe?"
"What?"
"The fact that it's only been two weeks and already not seeing you, even for a few minutes and thinking that I'll never see you again hurts me. We've really gotten to know each other over these last two weeks. You may have thought that I was only doing the things I've done was because you thought I felt sorry for you. Maybe at first I did feel sorry for you, but that was because I didn't know you. Now I know about all of the things you've been through and I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want you to move on and forget about me because I want to be around you. I want to know how you are feeling everyday, and to know that you are safe. Listen Olivia, whether you believe me or not, another reason why I did what I did today is because... I love you."
Now that Olivia knew the truth, he wasn't going to hold back. He finally did what he wanted to do since the first moment he laid eyes on her. They were already in a hugging position, he put a hand behind her head, looked at her in the eyes for just a moment before finally pulling her in for a kiss. He enjoyed their little moments where he would sometimes kiss her forehead, but it was nothing compared to this kiss. It took Olivia a moment to get out of her shocked stage, when she finally realized what was going on she smiled against his lips and kissed him back. It was just a short kiss that Seth ended. He smiled at her and held her close.
"So I guess you love me back?"
Olivia blushed and giggled a little.
"Oh... yeah. You just caught me off guard a little. I really didn't think you would be in love with me. It's only been two weeks, but there were little moments where I thought maybe you did."
"Like what?"
"Well... when I was in the hospital, you got me flowers, then at some point we started hugging and at times you would kiss my forehead. Then more recently you started holding me hand and calling me sweetheart."
"Oh... so was it that obvious that I liked you?"
"Well... I didn't know for sure. My mind wanted to think that you loved me, but one part just kept telling me that you were just being nice. Then you said you thought it would be better off if we went our separate ways. That made me change my mind and think that you didn't want anything else to do with me, and that's what hurt me."
"I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I was thinking that since you had all of your stuff back that you could move on and that I was just holding you back. I was thinking that you didn't like all of the traveling that I did. Plus there is that saying that if you love someone set them free. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, letting you go only brought me more pain."
"It never bothered me while I was traveling you. I liked traveling with you, it brought us closer."
"One thing I wondered was if you were going to leave, where were you going to go?"
"That was one thing I wondered myself... I could go back to see if I can find a new job and pay rent for my old trailer."
"Absolutely not! You're not staying in a trailer."
"Well, what else am I supposed to do?"
"Come and stay with me... I mean we've already pretty much been traveling together, why not live together?"
Olivia wasn't so sure, the last time someone told her that they loved her, that person changed once she moved in with them. Also she still felt a little guilty, she couldn't believe that he would actually let her move in with him.
"I don't know Seth...I still don't feel like it is right, and the last time I moved in with someone... well I already told you about that."
"I know... you've been through a lot. I can't say that I blame you for not completely trusting me. Ryan... he treated you bad, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that."
"I know. You proved that to me when we met. You've cared for me more than anyone else has, and that's one of the reasons why I fell in love with you. It's just that I feel bad about everything that's happened. I almost cost you your job, your life, and now I'm supposed to believe that you are really willing to let me stay with you? Plus what's even more unbelievable is you are this big time WWE star, why would you even care about a girl like me?"
"The fact that I'm in WWE doesn't change a thing. I wasn't always a big time WWE star and really I still don't see myself in that way. Even though it wasn't under the best circumstance, I'm glad we met. Everything we've been through, even this has brought us closer. You don't have to stay with me if you don't want to, but I would feel better if you did. I did tell you that I loved you right? I enjoy traveling with you, but I would love it even more if you stay with me. This way I will know you're safe. Please Olivia... stay with me."
Seth gave her the sweetest smile that she had ever seen. It was like her prayers had been answered. She didn't have to worry about where she would live, and she had a man that would love her, protect her, and take care of her. She finally smiled at him and agreed.
"Ok... I'll stay."
Seth was happy that she agreed. They didn't really have anything else to say after that so he just brought her in for another kiss. This kiss was just a bit longer than their last kiss, but something stopped them before they wanted it to end. Seth had to end the kiss because the pain medicine at this point really wore off and the pain in his ribs was too much at this point. His hand went to his side and he moved his jacket and saw that his shirt was covered with blood at that spot.
"Oh my God... Seth you're not supposed to be moving around. I need to get you back to your hospital bed."
"Aw come on... they were going to release me tomorrow, I'll be fine."
"Come on nothing... you really shouldn't have left your bed... and I shouldn't have left. You're going back up there. You know you're going to hear it from the nurses and doctors when you get back up there. They don't like it when patients try to run."
"Ok... ok, but for the record... these nurses suck at doing their job. Do you promise that you'll stay this time."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"Ok... take it nice and slow, nice and easy."
Olivia slowly and carefully helped Seth back up to the hospital. There were nurses and doctors looking for him.
"There he is! Mr. Rollins, what are you doing out of your room, you're not supposed to be up and moving."
"I know... I just had something that I had to take care of."
"Sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn't have ran off. He wouldn't have left his bed if I hadn't of left him. He only left because of me, not because he was trying to escape or anything. He started bleeding again so I helped him up here."
"Ok, we'll get him back in his room, and get him looked at."
A few minutes later Seth was back in his hospital bed. He took off his shirt and saw that a few of his stitches had come out. He had ten stitches and three of them came out. The nurses and doctors had to get the bleeding to stop before they put three more stitches in him. Seth also complained about pain so they gave him something for pain. Since Seth got out of bed, they made sure to put weights on his legs so he couldn't get out of bed. The doctor looked over at Olivia and then back at Seth.
"You know Mr. Rollins, you're lucky you have this woman to look out for you."
"Oh trust me doctor... he can be so stubborn, if I wasn't here, he probably would have ignored the bleeding, but I made sure he took care of it."
"She's right... if it wasn't for her getting me help, I would probably be dead right now."
"Yeah well... we tied weights to your feet so you won't get out of bed again. I highly recommend that you stay at least for another day until the wound at least heals up to where it won't bleed. When you left your room, you must have been moving in a way that your stitches came out."
"I had to... I made a mistake, I almost lost Olivia. She was about to drive out of my life, but I caught her in the parking lot just in time."
"Wait a minute... one of the nurses said that she was your sister."
Olivia got worried after that because she was afraid they were going to make her leave. Seth didn't want her to leave either.
"Well she's not, but I still want her here with me."
"Usually we wouldn't, but if that's what you want, and since you've already went through so much trouble for her I suppose we could allow it just this one time. Watch over him."
Olivia smiles at him as he leaves.
"I will."
The doctor leaves the room so Olivia and Seth are left alone. Olivia goes over and sits beside Seth. Seth looks at Olivia and smiles and is lost in his thoughts. He was thinking about his conversation with Triple H earlier and how Olivia said her last name was Rollins and that she was his sister. The doctor may have found out that Olivia wasn't his sister, but he still thought Olivia Rollins had a nice ring to it. It had been a long day, the day started off with them in court. Olivia was still wearing the dress that he bought her. Olivia finally noticed and asked him what he was thinking. She blushes and giggles a bit.
"Why do you keep staring at me like that?"
"You're just... so pretty Olivia. I just can't get over how pretty you look in that dress."
"Aw... well thank you for buying it for me. I didn't think I would find a yellow dress. Yellow is such a strange color to have as a favorite color. When it comes to dresses, most women like red, blue, or black. I happen to like yellow, yellow is such a positive color. It's like the sun."
Olivia gets up from her spot and comes over to hug him. He jerks a little because his side was still hurting. Olivia backed away she she noticed he was in pain.
"I'm sorry, you're still in pain."
Seth ignored the pain and smiled at her.
"It's a good kind of pain."
Olivia thought for a moment, she didn't want to cause him pain, but she wanted to show him how she felt.
"Well... I hope this doesn't cause you any pain."
When they first kissed Seth had to lean down to kiss her, now that Seth was in the hospital bed, she had to lean down to kiss him. It lasted a few seconds and when it ended Seth smiled at her.
"Nope... no pain."
"Good. Seth... I hope it doesn't bother you too much, but I feel like I should change into something a bit warmer. Since I have my car back now I can go change into something a bit warmer. I promise I'll be back. Don't worry."
"Ok, but be careful."
"I will."
Olivia leaves the room and goes back down to the parking lot and looked in one of her suit cases for a change of clothes. She made her way back up to the hospital and changed in one of the bathrooms. While she was gone Seth couldn't help but worry that something might happen while she was out in the parking lot. Seth tried to stay calm, but once it got to be after five minutes he started to get worried. He relaxed when he saw Olivia come back in his room. She was just in a plain t-shirt and blue jean pants. Olivia noticed the look on his face when she came.
"Relax... I told you I was coming back."
"I couldn't help but worry a little bit with you being down there alone in the parking lot."
"It's ok... there was no one even in the parking lot. I made sure to hurry back for you."
Olivia moved the chair that was in the room closer to Seth. She sat down in it next to Seth. Seth held his out out to her and she took it and they just held hands for a while as they just sat there enjoying each other's company. It was after ten at night and Seth could tell that Olivia was getting tired. The chair Olivia was sitting in was a recliner, but he had two or three pillows and he wanted to make sure that Olivia was comfortable. Even though Olivia changed into warmer clothes, it was still kind of cold in the room and Seth could tell that she was still kind of cold.
"Are you cold Olivia."
"Maybe just a little bit, but I'll be ok."
"No, I'll take care of it."
There was a button that Seth could press if he needed to call a nurse. He pressed the button as they waited for a nurse to come. It took a minute or two, but a nurse finally came in.
"Do you need something?"
"Um yes... she is staying the night and I was wondering if you could please get her a blanket."
"Sure."
It didn't take long for the nurse to come back with a blanket.
"Better Olivia?"
"Better. Thanks Seth."
"No problem. Here. I have plenty of pillows, take one of mine and get comfortable."
Olivia smiles and takes the pillow.
"There you go. We've had a long day, lets get some sleep."
"Good idea, I am kind of tired."
Olivia got up only to give Seth a good night kiss.
"Good night Seth, sleep well."
"Good night Olivia, I love you."
Olivia smiles at hearing those words.
"I love you too Seth."
After about an hour, they were both asleep.
