Liv's POV
As I storm out South is right behind me "Liv, Liv, wait up"
I don't listen and I continue walking until she puts her hand on my shoulder.
"Wait... Don't.. Go... We... Ride.. My... Car... Together"
"Whoa you seem outta breath, you wanna try saying that again"
She pauses for a while and I hand her a bottle of water that I have in my bag. She takes two gulps and then she returns it.
"What I was tryna say was you don't need to trek, we'll ride in my car together"
"Thanks"
With that we both head back to their garage. South was already holding the keys to her Toyota.
We hop into the car. And she starts the engine. And then she starts to reverse out of the garage. Right as she's reversing I see West coming out and he glances at me. But I look away.
I'm still REALLY mad at him. I mean what could he be hiding?? His sister knows it, and I bet Cece knows it too. I will find out but I want him to tell me.
It must be really big for him to be hiding it from ME, of all people.
While I was lost in thought, South seems to notice.
"Hey you okay back there? "
"Yeah I'm fine it's just...I didn't expect this from him. I mean You know, I bet Cece knows too"
"Yeah well I offered to tell you but you refused"
"It's okay"
The rest of the drive goes smoothly until South all of a sudden breaks the silence.
"I hear a certain cupcake likes a certain d!ckhead" South teases
Being the stupid me that I am, I suddenly look like a tomato
"What! I do not" I exclaim out of embarrassment
"That's what they all say" South says in a sing-song voice
"I do NOT like him. He's an obnoxious, egotistical d!ckhead.... But man he's hot! "
She chuckles "Cupcake likes D!ckhead, Cupcake likes D!ckhead" South chants
I groan in frustration "Okay stop or so help me"
"Whatcha gon do" She asks
"Imma do this" I say as I grab her favorite necklace
She looks a bit panicked "W-What are you gonna do with that?" She asks
"I don't know, what am I?" I taunt as I crack open the window and stretch my hand out
"Whoa, whoa hey let's not joke with family heirloom"
I pull my arm back and laugh "Did you actually think I was gonna do it? "
She shrugs. I look out the window, and I see a group of birds. And suddenly I hear a gunshot and one of the birds starts heading our way. And I panicked so I..... I mistakenly dropped the necklace.
"What the hell Liv! " she yells obviously mad
"I'm so sorry....I didn't mean to.... It was a mistake... Honest.... It was the birds... And the gun... and the-"
I am cut off by the way she pulls over.
"Get out" South says
"Wha-"
"Get the hell out of my car Olivia!!"
"But-"
"Out"
I sigh in defeat and I get out of the car. And she quickly speeds off purposely and I yell
"I'm sorry okay" I keep yelling even when I know she can't hear me
"I didn't even like it that much" I say to myself
And then I groan in frustration and kick the rocks and start walking
And then I think ' I guess the universe really wanted me to get late to school'
"Well you win this round Universe, I'm gonna get late. Happy now?"
And after that I trek for a few minutes until a familiar Ferrari shows up.
The driver comes right up beside me and rolls down the window
"Cupcake, why are you here and not at school? "
Of course. "Go away"
"Come on, I gotta be the last student to pass this way"
I sigh "I guess you're right"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Not really"
I groan in frustration "Thanks a lot Universe"
I hop into the car.
Five minutes have passed and so far so good. Until now "So did you take my advice? "
Oh sh!t "Uh, what advice" I know exactly what he's talking about
"I know you're smarter than that"
I sigh "I don't think I will"
"Why not"
"I guess I'm not ready to see him"
"From what you've told me, you've shut him out for five whole years. That's not healthy Cupcake"
"Whoa don't go all Dr Phil on me. It's just... "
"You're scared. It's understandable. It's been five years since you saw him. It's okay to be scared"
"I know, I know I just... I don't think I'm ready for him to come back in my life. My life is in order and I like it that way"
"Don't you think that's boring"
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know I was supposed to make my life interesting for the satisfaction of other people"
"Look, why don't you just go meet him up him next Saturday. You're free aren't you? "
I look at him weirdly. "How did you know that "
He started blushing and my heart skipped a beat. What no-no no, don't do that again heart okay?
"Besides I was gonna take you up on that date offer"
"Whoa, it's not a date."
My heart sinks a little. Heart you are acting very weirdly.
"It's not a date cause your dad will be there "
"What!?"
"You wanna come with me to meet up with my dad?!?"
"Yeah, is that a problem? "
YES, YES IT IS A BIG FAT BLOODY PROBLEM
"No, it's fine. It's just way too much to ask of you. You don't have to do it"
"No, you need some encouragement and I wanna do it. Because it's important to have a fatherly figure in your life, trust me I know"
"Oh... Kay"
By this time we reach school and he parks.
He hops out. "See you at lunch Cupcake" and he winks.
I just stay there and try to recap. I'm gonna meet my dad. And Drew's coming. What have I done
I hop out and have jaws dropping and everyone bulging their eyes towards my way
"Get over it" I say and roll my eyes and they carry on with their business.
