❝When something feels off, it is.❞

"Olivia!"

I gripped at my chest, feeling my heart pound loudly as I started recovering from the near heart attack she caused.

Ethan sat up straight, fumbling behind me to put on the shirt he just took off.

"I-I just wanted to talk to you." She avoided looking at us.

"Okay, I'll be out in a second." I straightened my clothes.

She nodded and left.

"Can't you two talk tomorrow? It's twelve right now. What is she doing roaming the mansion at this time?" Ethan asked.

"I need to talk to her right now. I didn't tell her that I was dating you. I'll be back." I went to get up but he pulled me back and buried his face in my neck.

"Come back soon."

I smiled. "I will." I promised as I caressed his hair.

"Okay. I'll try not to fall asleep. But I'm just so tired." He pulled away and I got up.

"You should go to sleep. I think it'll take some time with Olivia."

This was not how I was planning on breaking the news to Olivia. No doubt she'd be mad at me.

I stepped out and saw her leaning against the wall at the end of the hallway and near the stairs.

I walked up to her, suddenly sensing her coldness even before she spoke.

"Olivia." I said to get her attention.

She turned around and took me by the hand, dragging me into the first empty room she could find. "Explain."

"I'm dating him. I was planning on telling you but we just weren't on good terms. I thought you wouldn't care even if I told you."

She let out a sarcastic laugh. "What is this? I clearly remember you telling me- no, more like ordering me to not date Tristan. You told me we had no future together. You told me to stay away from him even when you knew I liked him and didn't think of it as a fling."

"Olivia, listen to me. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want to fall for Ethan. But it just happened. You don't know how hard it was for me to stay away from him. I tried as much as I could but in the end I couldn't do it."

"Wow you're such a fucking hypocrite. You told me that under no circumstances am I to see Tristan, that no matter what we can't be together, that he won't accept me and it would only lead to heartbreak. I can't believe I listened to your bullshit and destroyed something so beautiful between him and I." Her eyes moistened and I didn't understand why she was overreacting so much again. I sincerely apologized. What more did she want from me? And if she liked him so much then she could just get together with him even now. What was the problem?

"Look, I'm sorry and all but don't you think you're being a little too harsh on me. It's not that big a deal. You like Tristan, right? Then go ahead, be with him. I'm now telling you to do whatever you want. So stop crying about something so stupid."

"It's not stupid for me. As usual you're just been a dumb bitch who only cares about her own problems and doesn't have an inkling about the mess she has created in someone else's life."

"Okay now you're just been overly dramatic. I didn't let you date Tristan, oh wow what an apocalypse." I spit out.

She sniffled. "You're being insensitive."
