"Well this was always the place to go, when you needed to clear your head." She paused never looking back, only out over the edge. "Or even when you just needed to get away." This time she turned her head a little to look over at me "Which reason was it for you?" she questioned.
I shrugged as if she could really see me "A little of both I guess" I answered quietly, the wind in her short hair made in blow in her face. "How about you?"
"Same I guess its just hard coming back"
"Olivia" I said causing her to turn towards me. We were both looking into each other eyes, as if we were reading each other souls, "I'm sorry" blurted out of both of us, causing both of us to chuckle.
SNAP
"Marc, what are you doing up here" Olivia said for the second time not getting a response from him, only this dumb founded stare like he was thinking hard about something. "You know what, whatever I'll leave" she said as she threw her hands up in the air and started to walk past him.
"Olivia wait" he said as he snapped into reality. He knew that it was going to be harder than an apology to get back on Olivia's good side.
He could see that she really didn't want to but there was this force that was keeping her there with him.
"Marc, you keep telling me to wait, but what am I waiting for" she paused and just stared into my eyes waiting for me to tell her something that was worth something. The words that had never been written in any book, or said in any movie, something that was all me and had no influence of anyone else.
"It was my fault" and that's when it happened the tears started to flow out of her eyes. "Years ago it was my fault and I never took responsibility for it, and hopefully its not to late to say it now"
"You're damn right it was your fault, you told me that you would wait for me, know matter how long that it meant. You told me that love like ours would never faulter and last forever. I guess that forever got shorter" she screamed back at him, she didn't want to cry, she promised herself that no matter what she would not cry.
"Olivia, I was wrong, and I was wrong not to admit it back then. I didn't realize how much it would hurt not to have you in my life, not to hear your sweet laugh, or to see you smile back up at me."
"You want to talk about hurt, then think about me making out with your best friend" she screamed with the tears still streaming down her face. She then jogged to the door and left slamming in behind her.
Marc stood on top of the roof, peiring over the edge. I tried, I really tried what can I possibly say that will make her heart open. I guess nothing is like the movies when you find that one right thing to say that makes everything right, and makes the past disappear for even just a second.

Olivia ran to her car, she didn't want to be seen, she didn't want the advice that was lingering inside. Through all the tears that had just been cried, the secret smile spread across her face. He admitted his fault, but is it enough, should it be alright now after all of the is time.
Flashback:
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.
End
Olivia didn't know where to go, she didn't know what to do or say. A part of her was saying just run up to him and just kiss him, but her mind was saying you still don't know everything that was happening. I should have let him explain himself instead of running off…God how could I be so stupid.

Peter walked up to the garden thinking that he would find Olivia there. He missed her through all of the years; he didn't even think that Marc would be coming home for the break too. He finally reached the door, and he opened it.
"She's not up here" Marc answered, knowing that it wasn't going to be Olivia.
Peter shut the door, and walked over to where Marc was standing. "I know that this has to be tuff on you, having Liv around. But can we please have this a peaceful as possible." He pleaded.
"I think its going to be harder on her than me" he put his head down. "I just, I just wish that things would go back to before." He paused and thought about what he just said; things would never get that good again. "Well at least to the point of us being able to just talk, I miss her"
Peter put his arm on Marc's shoulder "All in good time, all in good time" he said and then left Marc back to thinking.

Liv felt one of her doors open, she knew that Marc wouldn't be stupid enough to actually getting into her car. She lifted her head out of her hands that were rested on the steering wheel. She looked next to her and saw Lu sitting there staring at her.
"You, know you haven't changed a bit. You always liked to sit alone than cry in front of the ones you love"
"I guess I haven't changed, as much as everyone would expect"
"Olivia when you forgive him, this will get easier…trust me" she smiled a little "and I'm not just saying this because I'm Marc's mother, but as your friend"
"My body is ready to forgive him, but my heart isn't ready to let him back in. Can you understand that?" she asked.
"Yes I can. Just let your body speak to your heart, and then you'll get your answer" she said and then left the car.
A/N: Will Lu and Peter's message make a difference? Will one vacation change everything?
