--------------------------------------------------

Olivia's P.O.V.

When mum and dad walk through the front door without Matt, it's pretty annoying. I only told them where he was so they could bring him home.

"Oh, Liv, we love you, never leave us." Dad mutters, squishing me in a hug.

"I wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon.." I mutter.

He pulls away, pressing a kiss to my forehead, "Where's Carly?"

"In her room..."

He runs upstairs and I look over at mum, giving her a confused look.

"He's totally fucked about leaving Matt in New York." Mum chuckles.

"And why did you leave him there?" I ask.

She sighs, "To give him a chance."

"But- what?" I question.

"He's going to stay for a few weeks, then we'll figure out if he's going to come back or if we'll set everything up to let him stay." She replies.

"But I told you where he was so you could bring him home."

"And we decided to let him stay for a little longer." She mutters.

"Liv! Come join mine and Carly's tea party!" Dad yells.

"Thanks, but I'm not three!" I reply.

"Well I'm gonna go, because I need to spend time with her before she decides to leave us." Mum says, heading upstairs.

"I'd be the one leaving first, this doesn't make sense!" I exclaim.

I sigh, going to go sit on the sofa, and I pull out my phone to call Chase.

"Liv! Hi." Chase answers.

I sigh, "Hey."

"Are your parents back with Matt now?" He asks.

"Yea. Well, they're back, without Matt." I reply.

"Didn't they go there to get Matt back?" He questions.

"Yea, but for some reason they're now okay with Matt staying." I mutter.

"What's so bad about it?" He asks.

"I feel bad for Julie." I sigh. "She doesn't know yet, I don't wanna tell her."

"They're secretly dating right? Shouldn't he tell her? They're gonna end up breaking up." He states.

"They probably will, but when my parents tell him to come back they'll get back together." I reply.

"Oh, will I be seeing you tonight?" He asks.

Nervously I sigh, taking a deep breath. I really don't know if I even want to be around Chase anymore, but... 

I smile, "Yea, you will."

-

"Livy." Chase smiles, pulling me into a hug when I arrive at his place.

"Hey, Chase." I mumble, moving away from him.

He pulls me over to the sofa and I cuddle into him.

"You know, it's nice to just sit here with you." I whisper.

As true as that is, I still feel uneasy being here with him. 

He sighs, holding me tighter, "You're so cute."
