Part 10 - I have changed

-Octavia's POV-

They were right, I have changed. I've gone soppy, like a lost puppy. No one has ever made me change, I have been a strong independent person all my life and now I have changed and I'm not sure if I like it.

I'm staying the rest of the day with the guys. After they admitted to me that I was a lost puppy I sort of blanked. I didn't know what to do or what to feel so I just blanked. I didn't like what I have turned into and so I blanked. Harvey thought I was going to faint again so he told me to go to bed but when I didn't move he picked me up and carried me to the bed and laced with me. It was nice, felt like home, something I never experienced with anyone and that scared me. When I woke up from my sleep my phone was vibrating again and I realised I told my brother I would be back that night so I text him saying I didn't feel well so stayed at Beck's for another night. Not really a lie apart from the persons house I was at. I rolled over and whacked Harvey in the face, by accident of course. I completely forgot he was in the same bed so when he stirred I pretended to be asleep. I lay there and evened out my breathing and felt the bed move a bit. I was lying still for a minute thinking, having the feeling someone was looking at me. Suddenly a arm went around my waist and I was pulled into Harvey's body, I yelped surprised, forgetting I was supposed to be asleep and heard a deep chuckle from the side of me. He knew I was a awake. Idiot.

I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me with amusement in his eyes. He thought this was funny. Within this moment of each of us looking at each other I couldn't help but to get a proper look at his face. His bright blue eyes and his chiselled jaw. The light freckles covering the middle half of his face. Once I realised exactly what I was doing I looked back into his eyes to see an unknown emotion in his eyes. However I coughed to bring him out of his staring and he just smiled at me.

"Care to explain why I was whacked in the face by an 'unknown' hand" He laughed while looking directly at me.

"I don't know what your on about." I said blushing remembering whacking him in the face, I can't believe I did that to him. Why? I have gone soft. If I did this before I would have laughed it off and probably even blamed it on the person I hit. But now I feel like I should say sorry and I'm blushing. I never blush. Trying to change the subject I ask a simple question. "Hey, can I stay with you guys today, if your not busy obviously?" I feel weird and I have no idea why. I think it's me questioning everything I am doing because of the new found me.

"Em, I don't think I'm doing anything, the others might be but I'm not. I'll have to check with boss, see if there is anything needed of me but i think I will be fine."

"Who is this 'boss' guy all of you talk about? I know he is obviously your boss, but what do you do? How old even is this guy?" I have no idea where all these questions came from but they kept coming and for some reason he didn't stop me until I realised something. "Em, could you em, maybe, em, move your arm." I stuttered.

"I know you don't want me to." He said smirking and for some reason I felt like he was right. I was just about to ask again when I got a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Octavia? It's me Beck." Why did he feel the need to tell me his name, I mean I have dated him for a while now, I think I know his voice by now. "Are you alright, I heard about you fainting in the supermarket, it's the talk of the, well supermarket. Apparently some one took you claiming they knew you. Who was it that took you? Did you know them?" I stopped him there, he can ramble after a while.
