Olivia Hayes never truly had anywhere to call home. Her dad left when she was eleven and her mom was rarely around. Her only salvation was being at her best friend Cora's house.
Alexander Stevens didn't think his life was going anywhere. His parent...

Yes I was currently headed to his house.
I wanted answers and I wanted them now.
Oof that sounded so cringy but it's true.
I needed to know why he had cut me off like that.
I also maybe sort of want to kiss him again.
Nope not happening Liv.
The afternoon sun beats down on me as I walk fast, I don't run though.
I hate running.
Cora is with Landon today, they're at his parents fancy pants lunch thingy.
I forgot what she called it.
Alex's parents worked today as well and as I get closer and closer to the house I prayed he isn't at the park.
My prayers are answered when I head inside and up the stairs.
His door is open and he's sitting on the bed reading a book.
"Alex I need to talk to you." I say straight forward.
He slowly closes his book and stands up from the bed.
"Treehouse?" He asks and I shake my head.
"I have a question, and all I need you to do is answer it honestly." I say and he nods.
I take a deep breath.
Just rip the metaphorical band-aid off Olivia.
"What happened two years ago?" I ask and his brows furrow.
"What are you talking about?"
I roll my eyes, "You know what I'm talking about. One minute we were ok and then the next you hated me, then we were ok again. I am just confused."
He sighs, "It doesn't matter."
"Does too." Oh gosh I sound like a five year old.
"Just leave it the fuck alone." He says getting irritated.
I shake my head, refusing to let it go.
"Tell me." I demand.
He narrows his eyes at me to drop it but to heck with that.
"Alexander I swear to god-"
"Because I fucking loved the way you looked at me and I hated it. I hated the way you could make me feel because I knew one day you would realize you deserved better. That just like everyone else in my miserable fucking life you would eventually abandon me. Everyone else I could handle but you, fuck, Liv I wouldn't have survived it. I knew I had to cut you off because I couldn't wait for you to do it." He says his chest heaving up and down.
Something about his confession gets me all riling up.
"Are you serious?" I ask and he gives me a puzzled look.
