SUMMARY: Olivia breaks down after the revelations.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, but I'm pretty sure this story is coming out of my head. Can anything really be yours after it's out of your head?
I fell asleep that night feeling better than I had since I saw that video.
I spent the entire next day, waiting for classes to end so that Maria and I could continue our investigation. At least it gives me non-Viola things to think about. But in Biology, I was forced to see something that truly made me feel ill. Viola wasn't just working with Malcolm anymore, she was flirting with him, and touching his hand, and she was doing it without even looking up at me. She's not doing it to make me jealous, she's flirting with him for real.
Maria and I met in the Science building and started checking out every room on that side of the building. From the bottom floor working our way up. We stopped when we were about halfway through to have something to eat.
"So I might be doing this just to find someone to blame, I don't think I've got a chance of getting Viola anymore."
"Yeah, with all that self-pitying and obsessing you seem to be all about these days, she's really missing out too."
"Your right, I'd say she deserves better, but she's a liar and really doesn't."
At least I can smile about running us both down together.
"Yeah, says the girl who tricked her into going on your first date."
"I think she's going to go out willingly with Malcolm." My voice broke just a little.
"Malcolm? Really? Why would she go near that little troll?"
"I don't know, maybe just because she knows I don't like him."
"Eww, Liv I know this sucks. But I've got to let you know, that if you loose her to him, I'm never going to let you live it down."
"Gee thanks a bunch Maria."
"Come on, get that ass in gear. Let's finish searching for clues, so I can go pretend to do homework and pass out."
So we continued our search and checked every single room on the dorm side of the building. There was nothing but classrooms, nothing even a little suspicious. Frustrated and tired we went back to our rooms.
Maria was right, even if I did find out who took the video. I still wasn't acting like someone Viola want to talk to, let alone date. So I deciding I needed to 'get a life' again, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I never really thought about that saying before, poor birdies… I went to go see if Megan wanted to do something as I really did want to be her friend again. How long has Maria been my only real friend? 3 years?
Before I knocked I glanced out the window I had been staring out of before.
I almost didn't see the light on the roof of the Science building. I almost knocked without even thinking about it. But I caught myself right before my fist tapped her door.
There is someone up there! That must be where my amateur film maker was hiding.
I should have knocked, I should have called Maria, and I should have gone back to my room. I should NOT have snuck out to go see who was on the roof, I should NOT have went over there without my pepper spray keychain, and I definitely should NOT have wore heels.
Because just when I thought I was going to find out who shot that video, someone slammed me into the wall. Normally I figure I can take care of myself. I jog all the time, I'm in really good shape, and I took a self defense class the summer before my freshman year. Sadly, I haven't eaten well in over a week, and you really can't run away in heels. I bet Viola doesn't wear heels… I miss my Viola… 'my Viola'? huh, when did I start thinking of her like that?
I don't remember a ton, I remember hitting my head on the ground way to hard, I remember something pressed against my face, I remember a sweet taste and something that smelled like the dry cleaners back room. For a little bit it felt like someone had shut off the stars, I could feel my eyes open, but I couldn't see anything.
I wonder if this is what dying feels like..?
Grrrrr!! I'm SO Sorry, it's been so long since I updated. I was in the middle of typing this chapter and realized that I didn't remember the movie well enough to get back into their heads. I know where the story is going, just need to rent the movie again so I don't end up completely lost on the way.
Thank you for all of the Reviews. If it wasn't for you all I would have just let this story die in my head.
