Chapter Four - Are You Ok?

"Ok."

We started to joke and talk about our lives. It was so nice to catch up. I missed him so much. Tyler, Caleb and I were from different mafias. They were always bound to take over, I had so much faith in them. We were supposed to be enemies but we didn't give a fuck. We always said love is beautiful but friendship was better. And guess we stuck by that. Tyler and Caleb never let another girl get between our friendship and neither did I with a boy.

I went back and they said Leonardo wasn't there so I decided to talk to Liam and get to know him. He was so sweet, I loved his enthusiasm. We went out to the garden which was fucking huge. 

"How old are you?" He asks in the sweetest voice.

"17...you?"

"13. You and my brother make a cute couple." He says staring down as his smile fades.

"What's wrong?"

"Uhm...I once had another brother."

It made my heart drop. He was gonna say something else when Stephanie walked out with cookies.

"Hey...shes got cookies." I say shaking Liam making him smile and grab one.

"You want one?" Stephanie asks with a smile.

"No I'm good. I went to meet with a friend so I'd already eaten." I grin looking down.

She notices a tear falls down Liam's cheek. And wipes it asking what's wrong.

"I just thought of Tyler..." He respond.

"Oh my baby." She said hugging him.

She reminded me so much of my mother. Always caring and loving. Pure. I could never be my mother. My mother forgave everyone, and me? I've done so much shit in my life I could probably take it and fill a thousand bags.

"Hey, it's ok. Cheer up. How bout we get ice cream." She replies with a soft voice. He nods and turns to me.

"Do you want some?" He asks.

"I'm good. You go get some." I respond chuckling.

They walk away leaving me to sit there thinking. I wanted to tell them so badly. Especially Francesco. Your son could still be alive. But I couldn't. I needed to make sure first. It would be heartbreaking to give them false hope.

I went back in and found Olivia. I liked her new attitude. She was so happy, liked a changed person. I still never apologized to her for getting her in that coma. Only when she was unconscious.

"Hey Liv."

"Laura, guess what?"

"Hmm?"

"I tried this app and it said I'll meet my soul mate in a thousand years." She laughed making me chuckle.

"Woah really?" I joked.

"Yep. Means im fucking immortal y'all."

We laughed. We've never got a long this well. It felt so good.
