Chapter 8: Backstory
Olivia's P.O.V. Three Years Ago. . .
"Olivia! Time to wake up! First day of school!" My mom yelled from downstairs. We just moved into town three weeks ago and we're still trying to get adjusted to the area. Wow I'm really nervous about today. I got up and got dressed for today. I looked in the mirror and smiled. "It's a good morning and a beautiful day." I said. I smelled pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. Me, my mom, and my dad ate breakfast together for the first time in three weeks. They drove me to school that morning. I walked in side the school and tried to ask people where the principal's office was but nobody would tell me. I decided to find it on my own. I walked down a hallway and ran smack into another girl, causing her to drop all her books. I quickly got up and picked up her books for her. "You really didn't have to do that." She shyly said. "People bump into me all the time." I handed her books back to her. "I'm sorry. I was just trying to find the principal's office." I apologized. "It's okay. I have to go down there anyways so I'll walk down with you." She offered. "Sure!" I said. "I'm Olivia, by the way." I offered my hand for her to shake. She took it and said, "Hi, Olivia, I-I'm Sylvie." She said. "That's a pretty name." I said. She blushed as we walked down the hallway to the principal's office. I told her about why we moved here. My dad got a better job. We reached the principal's office. Sylvie handed a note to a staff member. The principal told me where I would find my locker. Turns out, it's right next to Sylvie's! She showed me where our lockers were. I opened my locker and my fedora accidentally fell off me. I reached down to grab it, but someone got it before me. Then, he started teasing me with it. "Hey! Give it back!" I said, trying to grab it. He started throwing it back and forth with his friend saying, "Keep-away!" I have just about had it! Another boy came up behind the one that grabbed my fedora. "Lou, Haz, cut it out!" He said. 'Lou' and 'Haz' turned to him in surprise. 'Lou' said, "Z, it's not what it looks like." "Lou, give me the hat." 'Z' said. 'Lou' handed it to him, 'Z' yanking it out of his hand and walking over to me. "Sorry about that. Those two make fun of almost everyone around here. I'm Zayn." He said, putting his hand out for me to shake it. "I'm Olivia. Thanks, by the way." I said, shaking his hand. He put my fedora back on me. "Well, Olivia, maybe we can get together sometime." He said. I quickly wrote down my number for him. The bell rung. Me and Sylvie headed off to french. We sat down as the teacher came in saying, "Bonjour les élèves! Je vois que nous avons un nouvel étudiant. Quel est votre nom? " (Good morning class! I see we have a new student. What is your name?) "Olivia." I said. She was a very nice teacher. Although I love school, who speaks and teaches in French for two solid hours? Someone in the back of the class actually fell asleep while she was teaching! The bell rung, signaling it was time to move to the next class. Art. Sylvie's next class was math, then we both would break for lunch. I walked into class and saw an open seat by Zayn. He signaled me to come over. I sat next to him. Our teacher brought in two guests that day. Dove Cameron and Sofia Carson from Descendants. She said that we would be drawing them either as an animated version or the real version of them. I drew Sofia and it came out like this. Zayn drew Dove and Sofia and it came out like this. (A/N I found these on Sofia Carson's facebook page. I did not draw these I just thought it would be cool for the story.) I liked Zayn's picture more than mine. "You're an amazing artist." Me and Zayn said to each other at the same time. We did a little laugh at that. A little later, the bell rung signaling it was time for lunch. I found Sylvie sitting by herself and walked over to her. "Hey, Sylvie." "Hey Olivia." She said. "I still can't believe what happened today." "What happened?" I asked. "Thee Zayn Malik asked you out! All the girls are so jealous." She said. "Why?" "He's the most popular guy in school. Almost all the girls try to get him to notice them. He hasn't asked a girl out since his breakup with Anna Blake. You are the luckiest girl in the whole school right now!" She explained. "Okay, Sylvie, first off, he didn't ask me out; he asked if we could hang out sometime, for your information." I said. "He asked you out." "No, he didn't." "Yes, he did." "Did not!" "Did too!" "Did not!" "Then why don't you ask him? He's standing right behind you." She said. I turned around and saw Zayn, 'Lou' and 'Haz'. Before anyone could say anything, my phone started ringing. I answered it. "Hello? . . . What? How could you do something like that?! No, I'm sorry that you made a very childish decision! . . . yeah, you too." I hung up the phone and ran out of the cafeteria. I could hear Zayn behind me. "Olivia! Wait!" I ran into the girls bathroom. I heard Zayn outside the door. "Olivia? Are you alright?" I turned the water and and splashed water on my face to try to stop myself from crying. "This is just a bad dream. Wake up Olivia. Wake up. WAKE UP!" I said. Nothing happened. I slid down the bathroom wall and brought my knees to my chest and buried my face in my legs and cried. I heard the bathroom door open 'please don't be Zayn.' I thought.'please, dear God, don't be Zayn.' "Olivia? What happened?" Sylvie asked. "What happened was my boyfriend, the one person who cared about cared about me, said we were done because I'm not worth his time. He said that I'm not important to him and I'm worthless." I said, trying not to cry more. "Well that's not true. You are not worthless. You are smart, beautiful, nice, kind, and very talented. He's a jerk." Sylvie replied. I stopped crying and thanked her. I am so very glad I didn't put on makeup today. I stood up and saw Zayn in the doorway of the bathroom. Not actually in the bathroom. "Olivia, if you aren't important to him, then he missed out on the best thing that ever happened to him." Zayn said, making me blush. "I'm glad I have friends like you in my life right now." I said.
7 Months Later. . .
It's been exactly six months since me and Zayn have been dating. It was currently spring break. He told me to meet him at a park across the street from our school and wait for something to come to me. I sat down at the park bench. A dog walked up to me and laid down on the bench. I saw a piece of paper attached to his collar. I read it. 'Zayn sent me to find you. He said to follow me.' The dog jumped off the bench and started walking away. The dog turned around and looked at me and barked, signaling me to follow him. I followed the dog into a forest, where I met Zayn. "Hey gorgeous." He said. "Hi." I said. "I like what your wearing." He said. I blushed at that. He lead me to his car. We drove a ways. We finally reached our destination. We were at his family reunion. I told him that I wanted our anniversary to be nice, but not so. . . um. . . fancy or formal. He introduced me to his dad. We walked around for a little bit just talking. I saw my mom and dad there. "Mom? Dad? What are you guys doing here?" I asked them. "Olivia? What are you doing here? We thought you had plans with your boyfriend." They said. I told them that Zayn was my boyfriend and I was here for his family reunion. Yea, um. . . turns out my dad and Zayn's dad were brothers. Awkward moment in time. I walked away from there. I needed a minute to breath. "Liv! Liv, wait!" Zayn called. I started running. I'm so glad I'm not wearing heels or wedges right now. Zayn finally caught up to me, grabbing my waist and spinning me around. "Olivia, we need to talk about this." He said firm. "There's nothing to talk about, Zayn. Our dads are brothers which means we're cousins. We can't date anymore." I simply said. "Olivia, whether we are related or not, I will always love you." He said, embracing me into a hug. His words rung through my head. 'I will always love you. Always' "I want to show you something." He said. "You have to close your eyes though." He added. I closed my eyes and let him lead me to wherever we were going. We walked quite a ways and he finally stopped and told me to open my eyes. For the first time in my life, I saw the Blue Hills. It was beautiful. I don't care if they are blue or not, they're beautiful. The sun started to set, making the hills actually blue.
A Few Weeks Later. . .
Zayn hasn't been the same since he found that me and him are related. He hasn't been to school since then. I tried calling and texting him, but he won't respond. I found Sylvie at the table we usually sit at. I was talking to her about what happened. I asked her if she knew where Zayn was. "Well, I heard girls talking about 'him and his gang'. I don't know if he is in a gang or not though." She said. I perked up at that. "Did you say, 'gang'?" I asked. "Yeah, why?" "Oh my goodness." "What?" "Zayn's dad, my uncle, was in a gang." I said. Sylvie's eyes widened with a OMG face. By that time, we noticed that everyone - besides me and Sylvie - had left the cafeteria. We looked at each other with a 'what just happened?' face. Sylvie's eyes widened - again - and pointed behind me. I looked behind and saw Zayn, 'Lou', 'Haz', 'Ni', and 'Li-li'. Yes, I've learned their nicknames. "Hi, Zayn." I said, hinting that I was happy to see him. "Olivia." He greeted. "What's going on? I haven't seen you in the last few weeks and-" He cut me off. "Yea, I know. I'm not stupid. Unlike someone I know." He said chuckling. "Zayn? What happened to you?" I asked. "I grew up and found where I belong. You should too." He said. That's the last thing I remember happening. I didn't see Zayn since. That is, until he kidnapped me.
"Olivia! Time to wake up! First day of school!" My mom yelled from downstairs. We just moved into town three weeks ago and we're still trying to get adjusted to the area.
