Olivia sat on her bed in Peter's apartment, thinking "Let your body speak to your heart, what did Lou mean by that. I know I have to try harder to forgive him, but everytime I see his face I just, I don't know, want him. I want things to by like they were before I went away. That kiss at school was amazing, but he's moving too fast for me. Yes its been years but too soon for a kiss and now I have to see him on my vacation. Secertly I kind of like seeing him again. But I'll never let him know that….or at least not now." Olivia put her headphones on and blasted her music in her ears to fall asleep to. Peter was working a double shift and the apartment was quiet and lonely.
Marc sat on the couch, the same couch that Olivia use to sit next to him…on him on. "How do I get her to talk to me, I've tried everything. Leaving her alone just makes her not talk to me. Give it time, I mean I gave her years, how much longer does she need. Kissing her was a stupid idea, but it just happened I couldn't help myself. I know that but secertly I liked feeling her lips on mine. Maybe I'll just let her come to me next. I'll give her the space she needs with the hope that one day she will be by my side again. Marc threw the clothes that were on his bed on the chair to his desk. "Tomorrow will be better….hopefully" Marc climbed under his sheets and fell asleep.
Back at the clinic Peter walked by Lou's office door, looking at the chart of a girl and supposidly fell down the stairs.
"Peter, come in here" Lou called from her desk, she was reviewing some files before calling it a night. She hated that Marc and Olivia came home at a time when they were overflowed with unfinished charts.
"Hey Lou whats up" Peter asked, it had been a long day, and he really just wanted to spend time with Olivia.
"So how are we going to get the kids back together" She asked with a sneaky look on her face.
"We are not going to do anything, Lou let them figure out there relationship on her own" He said with a semi serious look on his face.
"But peter they've tried it that way, do you want to have these ackward visit all the time, or do you want these vacations to be enjoyable?"
Peter let out a sigh, "Lou when things fall into place, and they will, I don't know, Olivia will loosen up eventually."
Lou folded her arms, she couldn't believe that Peter really didn't want to speed up the process. I mean years have gone by, Olivia is ready she just needs a push in the right direction. "Okay Peter" Lou said and then looked back down at her file on her desk.
"I mean it Lou, let the kids figure it out" Peter stated sternly before he headed out the door.
"You'll be back" Lou said under her breath "You'll be back"
Peter woke up a 8am to a crashing sound from the next room, followed by Olivia's scream.
"OWWWW"
Peter rushed out of his bed only wearing a beater and boxer shorts. He rubbed his eyes as he knocked on her door before entering her room.
"Are you okay Liv?" Peter asked.
Olivia was picking up the glass to the picture frame that she dropped on the floor.
"Yah. I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up. I banged my foot on the dresser and then the picture frame fell on me." Olivia said feeling kind of stupid, thinking "why would I hide a picture frame on the edge in the back."
"It's okay Liv, just be careful with that gla…" Peter was just about to say as a peace of broken glass cut her hand. "I'll go get the first aid kit" He said walking out of the room.
Olivia dropped the broken glass in the garbage. The picture was facing backwards in the broken metal frame. Olivia sat on the edge of the bed, With the picture frame in her lap, she left her left hand palm up so that no more blood would fall on the floor. "It wouldn't be me without getting hurt some how"
Flashback:
Marc and Olivia were walking through the doors of the clinc, the place was packed with people. This happens every so often. Olivia and Marc just walked in the back and started to do there homework.
"Come on Olivia, no one is around. Just one kiss really quick" Marc pleaded with a puppy dog look on his face.
Olivia looked to her left and then to her right. She leaned closed to Marc and whispered "I'm going to the bathroom" She giggled and then started to got out of chair.
"You're such a tease" he said softly and shook his head as he started to look down at his english paper again.
As Olivia walked away from the table she ended up tripping on the strap to her backpack. She landed face first on the floor. He chin hitting the floor caused her to bite down on the tounge really hard. A small amount of blood filled her mouth.
"Are you okay Liv" Marc asked as he started walking towards her"
End of Flashback.
"Okay let me see that hand" Peter said as he sat down next to her. "Good its not too deep" he stated as he wiped the area and bandaged it
"Thanks" she said softly. "I guess it wouldn't be the same, if I wasn't a clutz" Olivia giggled.
"No it wouldn't" Peter smiled. "By the way what picture broke?" he said staring down at her lap.
Olivia shrugged her shoulders, then turned around the frame. Olivia gasped It was the picture of her and Marc, they were at the park and his arms were wrapped around her. "A happy memory" she stated and threw the frame in the garbage. "It's the past, we are so far from that day" Olivia said shaking her head as she headed to the bathroom.
Peter watched Olivia leave the room, he looked down in the garbage. "I should take it out, or shouldnt I. it's her decision" Peter stood up and walked over to the door, before exiting the room, she looked in again. He shook his head quickly walked to the garbage, took the photo out of the broken frame and hid it in the bottom of her night stand drawer.
"Mom, mom, are you ready" Marc screamed through the apartment.
"Marc were only going to the clinic, whats the rush?" Lou asked breezing through the room grabbing her bag. Marc shrugged his shoulders he wasn't sure why he wanted to get there. "I guess I just want to see her face, even if she totally blows me off, gives me a dirty look. Just to see the beautiful face. Marc was still just standing there, no response to give. "Okay I'm ready, lets go." She said and put her arm around his shoulder with a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry that I have to work Liv, its just a busy time" Peter tried to explain, he really wanted to spend some real quality time with her.
"It's okay Uncle Peter" She said as they enter the clinic "I completely understand" Olivia's smile was reassuring to Peter.
"Hey Lana, is Lou here yet" Peter asked as they get to the desk.
Lana peered behind the two. "Yah she just arrived with Marc." She said with a reassuring glance at Olivia.
Olivia glanced behind her, Marc was wearing a polo shirt the sleeves cut off his muscles so well. "He must be working out" Olivia thought to herself, but she didn't let her attraction to Marc let her forget what he had done. "I'm gonna go take a walk" Olivia stated quickly before she could have another ackward interaction with Marc.
Lou and Marc reached where now just Lana and Peter were standing. "She rushed off pretty fast" Lou said while giving Peter a look. Peter knew that Lou would lock the two of them in a room until they made up if she could have It her way.
"Yah, really fast, hmm" Marc said kind of sadly. "I'm gonna go….i don't know….somewhere" Marc said before anyone could say anything he disappeared in the same direction that Olivia went in.
Marc's PoV:
Marc arrived on the roof, he looked around to make sure that Olivia wasn't up there. I don't want to crowd her personal space. Letting her come to me is going to be hard, what if she never wants to come back to me. What if I really am just a person of her past and she doesn't want me in her future. Marc looked down over the side of the building, it's a long way down. "She disapeared sooo fast when she saw me coming, she peered at me but just for a couple moments. Not long enough to consider a stare. She looked so good, her skirt cutting off right above her knee. Her legs looked just as good as always. I hope she says anything to me today…anything would be nice.
"Marc Delgado, it's great to see you here" Marc heard a familiar female voice call behind him.
Marc turned around quickly wishing it was Olivia but knowing that it wasn't, Olivia's voice was much sweeter and she hasn't said kind words to him in years. "Chelsea" he said outloud. Out of all people it had to be here
"Well hold your enthuisasm about seeing me. Now I heard that you were back in town and I just had to come and see you" Chelsea said with a smile on her face.
Flashback:
It was summer, Marc was missing Olivia like crazy but she need to help herself and get better so they can be happy together. There was a knock at the door, Marc got off the couch looked through the eye hole, the image og Chelsea peered back at him.
"Open the door and stop bruding, sadness is not the mood for summer" She yelled at him through the door.
"Then I think you have the wrong apartment" Marc said swiftly as he opened the door letting her in.
Chelsea skipped in "Well I've come to make your day better" She sat on the couch and pulled a six pack of beer out of her purse.
Marc smiled and looked at the clock, his mom wouldn't be home for another 5 hours, what she doesn't know wont kill her." That's why girls carry huge purses" Chelsea just winked at him and smiled
They both sat on the couch " This is just what I needed" Marc stated as he brought his second beer to his lips. He felt soo relaxed.
Chelsea looked in his eye, she wished that she could have what Olivia had with him. Marc is a great guy, Chelsea could see the hurt in his eyes when he peered back at her. She placed her beer on the coffee table and whispered his name "Marc"
Marc looked at her "Yah" Chelsea put one hand on his chest and just went for it. Chelsea's lips met Marc's. His lips were soft and lucious. It was probably one of the best kisses that she ever had. He didn't resist her, or push her back. She went up again this time pushing her tounge into her mouth and massaging his tounge. Chelsea never felt such power behind a kiss.
Marc sat there not sure why he was letting this happened he missed Olivia so much, a kiss felt so nice. Or was it the beers making the kisses feel nice. He had no feelings for Chelsea at all and Chelsea was Olivia's best friend. What was he doing…What was she doing. Did she come over here with the intentions of kissing him, at his time of need.
As Marc is trying to figure out what was going on, Chelsea moved from kissing his lips to climbing on his lap and kissing his neck. Reaching her hands under his shirt feeling it tight chest and stomach. To keep his mind of Olivia. Marc had started working out.
" Do you like it Marc?" Chelsea asked as she continued to kiss and suck on his neck. Chelsea could feel Marc getting hard and that was enough of an answer for her. She smiled, but wished that he was as much into her as she was into him.
Chelsea lifted Marc's shirt and started kissing his chest and down his stomach. She was about to unzip his shorts. When Marc swiftly picked her up off of him and released her on the seat next to him on the couch
"Olivia" was all he could say "What did I do…..Olivia." he said shaking his head and rocking back and forth.
"Olivia never has to no" Chelsea said reassuringly. And reaching back up to kiss him.
"NO" he yelled "I love her…and you….your suppose to be her best friend!"
"And I'm doing the best friend thing and taking care of her boyfriend while she is away" Chelsea said trying to justify what she was doing.
"I think you should leave" Marc said trying to stay calm.
"If that's what you want….You have my number when you change your mind" she said as she walked towards the door.
Marc got up as she was steps away from the door. "I would prefer you stay away"
She giggled " You'll change your mind. Sooner or Later you will"
"No I wont!" and he slammed the door behind her.
Marc walked over to the living room and cleaned up the messed from eariler. Well the mess that he could clean up. What was he going to tell Olivia. She would never forgive him.
Marc walked into the bathroom took a shower, at the end of the week him and Peter were going to go visit Olivia. Marc looked into the mirror and his jaw dropped at the sight! "No, no, no" There on his neck were fresh hickeys "damit Chelsea" he thought and pounded the sink beneith him.
End Of Flashback
"Chelsea, I thought I told you to stay away" Marc stated while shaking his head.
"Marc its been years, you and Olivia have been over. I don't see why we cant be okay again. I mean I miss her too, but she cut us off. Not the other way around. We should stick together, not pull apart.
Marc couldn't believe that she was hear saying this. If it wasn't for her him and Olivia probably would have made it through. Not that he was putting all the blame on her but she did come to him not the other way around. " Things havent changed. The way I feel hasn't changed!" Marc said angrily back,
"But Nick I don't know how to get passed seeing his face and not thinking about how he hurt me" Olivia said looking down at the floor.
Nick knew that this was going to be hard for her to get passed. There was also so much time to dwell on the issue since her and Marc hadnt dealt with the issues earlier when it had happened. Olivia was use to running and Nick couldn't blame her before. Olivia was weak and had been through a lot, but she was different now..she was stronger and could deal with it now.
Nick looked around the ER, there was a truama about to come through and he didn't have much time. "Look Liv just take it one step at a time, you don't need to reminince and have a big conversation and act like nothing ever happened" Dr. Biancavilla truama is one minuet out. Nick looked up and nodded so that the nurse knew that he had heard her. He turned back to Olivia "Just don't keep running Livy, he's trying" Nick took a deep breath, trying to think of what to say to her. "Start with hello today, and see what tomorrow brings. I got to go" and rubbed her shoulder as he went to go meet the ambulance.
"Start with hello today" Olivia repeated softly to herself as she played with the pen on the desk. "I can do that….it wont kill me" Olivia went to go find Marc. She decided to check the roof first.
Olivia quickly went to the stairs and started her climb to the top. She thought about what she was going to say. What she was going to say after hi, maybe she would leave it a mystery, She smiled at the thought of the look on his face, if she said hi smiled and walked away.
Reaching the top of the stairs felt like it took forever. As she hit the top of stairs, she heard voices on the other side of the door. She pushed it open far enough to slide her body through.
"Chelsea" She said surprised.
"Olivia" Marc said worried, what if she had came up looking for him and now Chelsea is here.
"I'll leave you two alone" Olivia said strongly but inside sadly.
"Thanks Livy, you're a sweetheart!" Chelsea said with a fake type of happiness and joy on her face.
"No wait Olivia" Marc pleaded and reached out his hand, but Olivia disappeared as fast as she had appeared
