CHAPTER XV: Olivia
This morning, Cameron is here early in the morning. I know he's here to fetch me but I don't want to be with him today. So, I declined. How? I just went straight up to Tyler's car, not minding the stares he's giving me.
"What happened between you two?" Ty said as we drove to school.
"None." I rolled my eyes.
"There is something wrong, I know that." He took a glimpse of me.
"Really? How?" I asked with the corner of my eyebrows raised.
"It's just I knew you too well. When you're mood changes, when your voice is a little lower than usual, and also the look on your face. It all changes when you have a problem or you have something in mind." He smiled.
Can't blame him though. Of course, he's my brother. We grew up together and no one can break our bond. Not even a single soul.
"So, mind telling me?" he looked at me for a second.
"Nope. Not really needing anyone's help. I can handle it." I said.
"Geez. I don't really like it when you're being independent. I'm used to you always depending on me since we're little." He rolled his eyes. That's when I burst into laughters. He looked gay doing that.
"Ty, I'm still dependent on you but I learned to handle my own problems or emotions throughout the years." I pat his back while still laughing.
"Can you stop laughing? It's irritating!" he hissed.
"Ty, you deal with it. You look like a gay doing eye rolls. Why don't you get yourself a girlfriend? So you won't look gay anymore." I laughed.
"I still want to watch over you without any distractions. Besides, I want you settled already before I get myself a girlfriend." He sighed.
He sure is one hell of a great brother. He stood up for the whole family. He stood up for me. I know he's the one who's struggling the most.

"Blaire." I felt an arm stopped me from walking.
I turned to see who it is and it was Cameron. I quickly shook his hand away. I don't want him to touch me. Not right now.
Luckily, we're in front of the locker room. No one would notice us even when we fight.
"What's our problem?" he asked softly.
"Why don't you tell me?" I put my hands on my waist.
"Sweetheart I really don't know that's why I'm asking." He said dumbfounded.
I felt like melting on what he just called me. But no. I won't let it affect me. I won't let him affect me.
"Well mister, you just let me leave the café! You didn't even stop me or follow me. You just let me!" I hysterically said.
"That is because you want to leave, Blaire!" he shouted. I felt a pang in my chest.
"So when I want to leave, you'll just let me? You won't chase me?" I softly said.
"No-no, Blaire. It's not what you think. I will chase you. No matter what. I love you, Blaire. I just want both of us to calm down before talking again." He said as he caged my face on his hands. He's intently looking direct to my eyes. It gives me butterflies of my stomach.

"That's it?" Saph asked.
I told her what happened about me and Cameron and how we made up. She is absolutely disappointed because I didn't even let Cameron suffer a bit.
"You gave in that fast? That fast, Blaire? Really?" she rolled her eyes at me.
"I just realized that it's my fault. It is my fault that I assumed and I walked out. He's not the one to blame." I sighed.
"Geez, Blaire! You are blinded again by love!" she finger combed her hair.
Again? I guess not. I just fell in love. It's normal to forgive the person you love, right? No harm done.
"No. I'm not. It's just normal to forgive. Especially to the ones you love." I smiled at her but she just looked at me with disgust. I laughed at her reaction.
"Girl, you're smitten." She said.
"Well, that's what love does to you. Maybe you should try to fall for a man so you could feel it too." I smirked at her.
"I don't want to try to love. I want love to come to me. I don't want to find a lover. I want them to find me." She hissed.
"Also, I don't want to be like you when I love or I will lose myself." She added.
It's true. I have lost myself once when I loved Audrey. I never thought love could be that dangerous. I never thought that it could control my whole body. From the way I talk to the way I move.
I love differently. I go all in.
"Are you sure you and Damon aren't a thing?" I squinted my eyes at her.
"Why did you asked that?" she said surprised.
"Well, I noticed that you and Damon are getting along together these days." I smirked when a scene popped out my mind. I saw them whispering words to each other while we're at the headquarters.
"We're friends, that's all." She simply said. But I won't buy that.
"Really? Come on, tell me. I am your bestfriend. You can tell me anything." I smiled at her.
"Blaire, I would definitely tell you anything about my love life, you know that. For the record, I don't have any. Stop nagging me." She hissed. Well, I should really stop. She is pissed, big time. I just pursed my lips to contain the smile that wanted out.
I suddenly heard whispers.
"She's the girlfriend of Cameron right?"
"Yeah. We always see them together."
"She is just his pas time, I'm sure of it."
I turned to see who they was. I saw them smirking at me. They still continued their conversation even when I'm here, watching them.
Past time? I doubt that. Cameron loves me and I'm sure of it.
"Let's see then when his first love comes back." The girl smirked.
"Oh, it is true then. Olivia is coming back."
"She will take him back for sure"
Olivia? I haven't heard about her. Who is she? Is she connected with Cameron?
Saph tapped my shoulders so I turned to look at her and mouthed 'what'.
"Do you know who they are talking about?" she asked.
"It's about me and Cameron and also a girl named Olivia. Do you know who she is?" I asked.
"Really, Blaire? You don't know who she is? Gosh, don't act naive." He rolled her eyes.
"I really don't know who she is." I said irritated.
"Blaire, come on. I know that you know who she is." She hissed
"Nope." I sternly said.
"I can't believe you don't know who she is. I thought you know all the issues here." she chuckled. But I don't find anything funny here.
"Can you please just tell me?" I'm already pissed.
"Okay, chill." She said.
"Well, I thought you and Cameron talked about this since you're together now. U-uhm…" she stuttered.
"Just go straight to the point." I hissed.
Can't she just tell me right away? I'm dying to know who she is and why is she connected with Cameron.
"Olivia is sort of his first serious relationship he had. His first girlfriend. His first love. As far as I know, everybody knows that. Except for you." She sighed.
Oh.
