Chapter 44

 

Olivia’s POV

 

I rested my head in my knees as I stared at the stars.

Best birthday ever huh?

I sighed and bit my lip. Should I go back? It’s been hours. It’s probably like 3am, but what if Alex is there?

Maybe it was all a mistake, maybe there was an explanation.

No, you’re just not ready to accept the fact that he doesn’t love you.

I groaned knowing it was true. But on my birthday? They couldn’t have waited until tomorrow at least?

I should probably go back now though…

I took a deep breath and stood up. I wiped my eyes and turned back around and started to walk slowly back into the woods.

It had taken me a long time to get here. I’m not even sure where I am to be honest. All I know is that I really like this place. It’s a hill just at the edge of the woods.

I kept walking and walking, wanting to stop so bad because I so tired, but I kept going.

I needed to face Alex sooner or later.

And I guess I choose sooner.

Sarah’s POV

                 

I didn’t run off anywhere, just to her backyard. When she came back, I had to explain everything to her. She would understand right?

Oh no she won’t. You practically ruined her life years ago and now I probably just ruined it again. I have a habit of ruining things don’t I?

I sat in the grass in the middle of the yard waiting for someone to come out and yell at me. I wouldn’t stop them. I deserved it.

I suddenly heard the door open and footsteps behind me. My breath hitched as I prepared myself for the yelling. I closed my eyes tightly.

But no one was yelling. I turned around and saw Austin.

“You aren’t going to yell at me?” I asked quietly. He didn’t answer.

We both just stared at each other for a minute before he started talking.

“Jacob… told me what happened. But tell me something, why’d you do it?” he asked. I was a bit surprised that he wasn’t mad. I mean Olivia was his cousin.

“Um I guess I still have feelings for Alex a little and when I saw him with Olivia, I got jealous. But I would never steal him from her Austin. I regret everything. I wish I could take it back,” I started. Tears started forming in my eyes. He just nodded.
