They didn't talk to each other.

She didn't acknowledge him.

Yet he acknowledged her every single day.

School was the hardest for him, he had to see her everyday.

He had to see her

....with him.

Even if he was with Vanessa, loving her and being with her was the only thing that felt right.

But, she was with someone else.

"Auden! Hurry we have to get to there before the play starts!" She yelled.

"I'm going. Ya know I wouldn't wanna make you late to see your best friend." He smiled and kissed her forehead.

Olivia and Auden.

Does it sound right?

Olivia and Nathan.

Just the thought of her name near his...

She couldn't let go of him.

She didn't want to let go of him.

As she sat in the theater, she looked around.

And she saw him.

She saw him with a Vanessa who was about five months.

The play went on and on and she cheered and clapped for Lea.

Handing the flowers to Lea she said, "You going to Ben's?"

"For the party? Hell yeah."

"Good. You ready to play Truth, Dare or Shot?"

"You know I am. And thanks for the flowers love." Lea gave a small smile and she returned it.

The party was loud.

Everyone drinking and getting high already.

Ben yelled for everyone to gather around the table to play Truth, Dare, or shot.

A game where you get asked truth or dare, choosing truth if you don't want to answer, you take a shot. Same thing for dare.

She tried to dread away from picking dare.

A dare is what made her love him in the first place.

But with Auden working late nights, it was just her while Lea was all over Ben.

"Okay everyone knows how to play we'll go clockwise, starting with Olivia." Ben announced.

"Uhm okay I guess I'm going first."

"So Olivia truth or dare?"

"Uhhh truth I suppose."

"Is it true that... Nathan is Vanessas baby daddy?"

"Yeah that's true." She gave an uncomfortable laugh.

The game went on until it circled back to her. Ben noticed Auden walk through the door and asked her, "Do you still love Nathan?"

"Uh what?" She replied. The question came out of nowhere.

As Auden walked over from the door to where she was, she said "Well I mean I love Auden, but of course I love Nathan. Once you love someone, you don't just stop loving them."

Auden stood there, staring at her.

She looked up and saw her. Everyone whispering around them.

Auden walked out the door and she followed.

"Auden!"

"You still love him Olivia? After he cheated on you? You still love that dickhead that hurt you. I was there for you! Me!"

"I'm sorry. But I can't just stop loving him and pretend nothing happened just for you!"

"Just for me? Oh okay, I knew you were selfish but never this much."

"Selfish? I'm selfish because I love him and not you?!"

"What did you just say?"

"I don't love you Auden. How could I love someone who hurts me?"

"I don't hurt you. I do it because I love you."

"No you don't. You don't love me."

"Yes I do!" He yelled while beating her in the car. No one around to see or listen because they were all inside.

"See, I do love you."

He caressed her cheek, making her flinch as tears rolled down her face. She didn't scream or make a sound, she was use to it.

She was at home. Alone.

Auden was there, but it felt like she was alone.

He didn't care for her. And she knew it.

She got a bag, put some clothes and essentials in it and ran to her car.

When she started it, Auden came running outside.

Getting out of the driveway, he took out a gun and shot at the car. The back passenger window breaking.

She feared for her life, tears rolling down her cheek, but at last she pulled up to a house and knocked on the door with her bag in her hands.

Knock!

Knock!

Knock!

The door opened and as she looked up a familiar voice appeared,

"Livia?"
