Chapter 3: Too harsh?

Leahs pov :

I sat down on the bed me and Olivia would be sharing for the next few nights... I couldn't stop thinking about maybe I was being to harsh on Olivia, I mean I never had a real reason to hate her or ignore her, except from the fact that she made me feel a scared kind of feeling when I was around her but I don't why I had that feeling...maybe she's not as scary as I imagine her to be maybe she's a really nice girl...Olivia probably thinks I am a rude and mean girl!

I was snapped out of my thoughts when my phone start to ring.

Leah: Beth what do you want?

Beth: Leah its dinner time where are you?

Leah: I forgot ill be down in a few seconds

I ended the call, grab my shoes, put a jacket on and ran down stairs

As I was going through the door before you enter the dinner hall, I heard someone on the phone I turned around to see Olivia on the phone to someone clearly very upset

I was walking away when I heard her say "No please, this can't be true"

Olivias pov :

Olivia: No please, this can't be true

Dad: I'm so sorry hun, its true your mum sadly passed a few hours ago in hospital

Olivia: Im so sorry dad but I can't take this...I need to be alone for a while can I please call you back later

Dad: Of course Oli, I love you

Olivia: I love you too

I just got off the phone with my dad, he told me my mum had unfortunately passed away a few hours ago in hospital...this strange feeling came to my chest and I couldn't control my breathing

I immediately ran to my hotel room and only was able to make it to the dinning table chair a few steps away from the door when I had to stop and lean on the chair...

Leahs pov :

I entered the dinning hall and went straight to the table with the food on it

As I was picking out some food to have in the corner of my eye I could see Olivia in some sort of distress and looking really uncomfortable, I placed my food down and went closer to the door as I was doing that I saw her run away... I followed her back to our room, I waited outside for a few seconds to see if I could hear anything but I couldn't and it made me think of the worse

I opened the door as quickly as I could to see Olivia leaned against the dinning table chair with her back facing me

she was having a panic attack... I slow walked up to her and slipped my hands around her waist so I didn't scary her as much and pulled her back into my chest

Olivia: Leah get off me

Leah: No

Olivia: I swear to god Leah get off me

she tried to get out of my grip but I turned her around and pulled her into a hug

Olivia: Leah pl-

Leah: Olly listen to my heartbeat

I rested her head where my heart was and gently start to make shapes on her back with my finger

Leah: Well done Olivia, your doing so well

I start to hear her breathing come back to normally, I walked her over to the bed and I laid down with Olivia on top off me

I started to hear her breathing slow down and body relax I could tell that she was asleep

Shortly after I feel asleep....
