*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*
—"I don't know if you're being sarcastic or funny, Hunters, but it's funny. That's hilariously ridiculous. Mhmm." Sydney remarked with a mixed expression of being calmly annoyed and mad while saying back what I said to her, making me gulp as I sensed her intense sarcasm. Then she walked ahead but still held my hand.Right now, I don't know what to say anymore because the atmosphere just got so damn awkward. That's a f*cking wrong move.It literally scares me whenever this biatch activates this cranky mode of hers. When she gets quiet after saying something pesky, it's time to keep my fine ass silent and not utter any more words that could worsen the situation… or I would give a fight.But right now, I love to annoy her, so I'm going to argue and try to be someone she will hate… but not really hate that much, just enough."Come. Think of it, Syd. People fall in love, and the time will come that they'*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*—"Open your eyes," Sydney asked me, and I felt excitement as I saw what was around us.It was a beautiful garden, where there were lights around, pretty flowers, and a fountain. Then there's a gazebo with lots of flowers around it."Wow, this is amazing, Syd. Where is this?" I asked her, and she slipped her hands inside her sweatpants' pockets."It's in a restaurant. It's a secluded area for… you know, couples who want to be away from a lot of people inside there. Actually, this is where I want to… take you to have dinner someday." She answered and shyly smiled, and I could feel her nervousness even from a mile away from here."Damn, you mean… out on a date? Dinner date?" I asked her while trying so hard to contain my joy, and she nodded her head in reply."Yep. Cheesy, I know. Since I don't have a chance to bring you here soon, I brought you here now. And I don't know if any of your exes h
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*—Our lips finally met, making me feel this familiar amazing sensation like that first time I stole a kiss from her when she was asleep and something like how we kissed back at the Ferris Wheel on our first date. Yet this one surely feels so much better. It's passionate. It's extraordinary.I moved my lips against hers, and she slowly responded while my arms found their way to snake around her neck to pull her closer to me.We shared a moment I never wanted to end, but I felt like crying as I didn't have any idea why it hurt me so much. I know we can't stay like this forever, but at least I experienced how it is to be loved by someone with all she is.She kissed the tip of my nose, then my forehead, and she put me in her warm embrace.And what she told me next made me cry."I'll always remember us this way, OJ." I tried so hard to contain my emotions and not let her notice that I w
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"Hey, Syd! Can you come here for a minute? I just want to ask you about something!" OJ called out to me as she went somewhere at the back of my house. I left Kitty to go where my girlfriend was and hear what she wanted to ask me."What is it?" I asked as I went near her and saw she was looking at something. It's my rose garden."This. What is this? What are these?" She asked me while pointing at the flowers in front of us, and I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her curious face."Are you blind? Roses. Flowers. Plants. Leaves. What else could those be?" I answered the obvious, and she just rolled her eyes. Those really are roses.And now, she pointed at the plants with both hands."I know these are roses. But who are these?" She replied and asked another pretty stupid question, and my eyebrows met in confusion. Why would she ask such a thing to me about my roses?"OJ, I don't name my rose
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"No, please don't cry. It's okay. You don't have to worry about anything. Look at me." I hushed OJ when she cried and kept on apologizing to me. I rubbed her back while she hugged my core, sitting on the floor, and sobbed."No! You lost all of your savings because of me. You… also, your pendant from your mom. And another one is… no, I'm such a terrible person. I took everything from you, Syd. I'm so sorry. Your… your left arm is… it's broken. You possibly can't paint again like the way before. And you missed your exams. I'm so sorry!" She wailed even more, and I really felt bad about her feeling bad about herself."Hey, no! OJ, come here. Look at me. It's okay. It's alright. Stop crying, please? I'm going to be okay." I said and tried to pull her up to sit down beside me, and she looked up at me and was still crying."Stop crying. Come up here. I told you, I'm going to be okay. And I didn't lose everything because of you. It's because I wa
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—After we had sorted out the things we wanted to do for the rest of the day after we got back to Chicago, we went to do something that we could do around the neighborhood before heading to the airport.First, we headed to the Hunters' mansion to check if Mimi was there, but we heard that she flew to NYC the other day to be with OJ before she could leave them forever. Next, we went to Grace's house to look for her, too, but she had just gone to the airport last night to go to OJ also. Yes, she did mention to me that she'll go there after the quarterly exams. Then, as we were walking on the street, three blocks from the Thales' residence, something caught my attention when my gaze fell to the park on the opposite side from where we were.I nudged my girlfriend and pointed to the people I spotted, which I thought would interest her."Hey, OJ, look! Your exes.""Where?" She asked, following my gaze to the coup
*Sydney Roswell's POV*—"Mi Amor, can we go somewhere? Just a few hours? An hour or two. I want to show you something… again." I asked OJ with a big smile as I sat up on my bed, and she looked at the time on the wall clock and then at me."Where?" She curiously asked me while sitting on the stool next to my bed."Secret. Just come with me. We'll get back here after dusk. I promise." I replied and grabbed her left hand as I stepped out of bed to head out of my room.When we were about to walk out of the elevator, we saw my brother and Wendy walking into the lobby and heading into where we were.We passed by them, and they got inside the elevator. But then, something caught my attention as I got a glimpse of Adam's face. The bridge of his nose got a bandage, and there was a cut on his lower lip on the right side."What happened to your bro's face?" OJ asked, and I replied, "I wondered the same thing, Oj. He must have gott
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---"Syd? Sydney?" I called her name with a broken voice as I didn't want to accept the truth. I don't want to open my eyes and find her nowhere near me. I don't want to think of anything tragic.I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the empty room. She's not anywhere here. I was just holding her, embracing her. What happened? Where did she go?No, it's not true. She can't be gone. This is not happening. It can't be. She can't leave me just like that."Where are you? Sydney?" I yelled while sobbing, and I covered my mouth as I couldn't help but feel extremely hopeless."No. Syd, come back. Where are you? This is not funny, Roswell!" I screamed and kept crying, hugging myself and wishing her to be here with me. I need her to be here with me. "You, stupid blonde! You didn't even say goodbye. Not even an... 'I love you, too!' What the f*ck? Sydney... I hate you. I hate you for leaving me.
*Olivia Jillian Hunters' POV*---I couldn't be happier, knowing that Sydney was alive and okay, and at the same time, her friends found my mother.Does this mean I might have a chance to live? Do I? I deeply hope so.I turned my gaze to Vidia as she handed Emma the tablet and stylus and looked at Sydney."Alright, listen up, girl. I will only tell you a few important details because we really need to go if you want to kiss and touch your precious OJ soon. Here's what happened and the whole plan. Earlier today, the police had arrested those bastards who caused these... bullsh*ts to you, and your brother pounded their faces and even broke some ribs when we saw them at the station, and---" Vidia explained and was cut off by the raging Adam when he received a look of disbelief from his little sister."Because, what am I supposed to do? Tickle them? Thank them? Nah! I will even kill them if something more terrible has happened to you
