SEQUEL TO FEEL
[MATURE]
"I've been waiting wide awake for the wave to come and take me right to you."
Olivia & Austin's endeavors continue. Through all the fame, hate, and other trials and tribulations, will they be able to stay so strong?
It had been a week since the party. Quinten and I were friends. And friends only. But it felt different. Like a different way to try to get over Austin. Not through anger or out of spite. Just by meeting someone that took my mind off of things for a while in a way that didn't include me getting undressed.
And that made me feel more guilty than anything.
I know I shouldn't be up here. This is Austin's place and he isn't a part of me anymore. But honestly, that isn't true. I think he will always be a part of me no matter how far we stray from each other.
"Mrs. Post, I've never read the books you wrote," I said out into the universe. I hoped she was listening. In a way, I felt bad for calling her Mrs. Post because she hated her husband so much and feared for her life. "But I can certainly agree that I feel like a flame in the winter. And not in a good way where everyone wants to huddle around you to capture some warmth from you. In a way where I just feel like I don't belong."
I sighed and then stared out at the city. Los Angeles. So many opportunities, so many people to love, yet I got the honor of loving someone that has broken my heart more than what it can handle. This time though, the worst.
I figured I'd be up here for a while so I pulled my crossbody purse over me and threw it to the side. The buckle came undone in the front, my phone, gum, wallet, and a few pens rolling out. I huffed and began picking them up, stopping when I held the Sharpie in my hand.
I opened the lid and began writing on the cement beside me:
I ♡ you, A.P.
I hoped Austin wouldn't get mad but I really didn't care if he did. He gave me a keycard to come up here and so I do. He doesn't use it anymore anyways. Now that his life is seemingly too good for anyone.

"Favorite 80s movie," Quinten said, grabbing some fries from the pile on his plate as we sat in the diner on campus.
"It's changed a lot over time," I nodded, also eating some fries. "Today, I'll have to go with Dirty Dancing."
"Really? Dirty Dancing? That's what you're going with?" He laughed with a mouth full of food. "You, my friend, are a cliché."
"What! That's an awesome movie!" I gasped. "You obviously have never seen it."
