I silently sat across from Ian, carefully studying his behavior, he took a sip out of his coffee before he looked over at me and I gulped nervously. "You wanted to see me." He said and I nodded at him. "Yes, I'm swimming on Saturday. If I win I qualify for state." I softly started. "I want you to come," I added and he nodded at me. "I wouldn't miss it for the world, Liv. Of course, I'll come." He told me so I smiled at him. "That's great. So have you spoken to my mom recently?" I asked and for a split second, he froze before he placed his cup down on the countertop, my eyes following his every move. "Yes, we discussed the divorce on Friday. She wants 60% of my company's shares and sole custody of you." He told me and frowned lightly. "What if I don't wanna stay with her?" I asked him and he sighed lightly. "Then the state will likely give us joint custody over you. I won't give up without a fight." He said so I lightly squeezed his hand. "Good, because I'd like to come
I have to know... "Miss Reed, doctor Pierce will see you now." His secretary told me so I stood up from my chair to follow her to his office. I looked down at my watch and found that it was nine am sharp. "In there," the lady told me as we stood in front of an office door. I softly knocked on the door before entering the room. I went over to hug Chris from behind as he was sitting in his chair. "Good morning, Liv." He greeted me. "I brought as many samples as I could," I said before taking them out of my bag. "Woah, slow down Liv. First, tell me why you're doing this. I can lose my job if anyone finds out that I helped you with this." "I'll be eighteen in two months. By then it won't be illegal anymore." I said and he frowned at me. "Yeah, but you're doing the test while you're seventeen." He said and I sucked in a deep breath. "Fine. I think my mom bribed someone to change the results of our last DNA tests. As a family, we can't trust her anymore." I told Doctor Pierce
SMUT WARNING!It was finally the weekend and we were all down at McClaren's. Rumor has it that both Cole and Storm are here tonight.I was wearing a short black satin dress that reached my upper thighs in length and a pair of matching black heels. My hair was in a slick back ponytail and my make-up was done to perfection. Austin handed me a spritzer so I thanked him before I opened the drink, I sighed lightly before taking a sip from my drink then I walked onto the dancefloor. I started dancing to the music and was immediately surrounded by my friends who were dancing with me while singing along to the loud music.I spotted Cole from across dimly the room and watched him talking to Griff. He really is here. I turned around and locked eyes with Storm. He raised his hand in a greeting manner so I just blankly stared at him before I turned away from his gaze. If I remember correctly, he's the one who broke up with me."Trouble in paradise?" Jade asked from beside me before she pointed
"Liv? Where did you disappear to?" Jade asked me in confusion so I smiled over at her. "I had diarrhea." I lied and she pulled her face in disgust. "Should we go home?" She asked me so I nodded my head at her. "Yeah we can go home, are you sleeping over?" I asked her and she nodded at me. "Yeah, we haven't had a sleepover in ages." She said with a smile on her face before she threw her arm around me. "Come on, my car is parked out back." She told me. "Let me just go greet, Griff," I told her and she nodded at me before she went outside. I quickly made my way over to Griff who was busy kissing some blonde girl. "Griffin!" I called him and he pulled away from the girl before he smiled at me. "Olivia! What's up!" He asked before pulling me into a tight hug and the girl frowned at us. "Don't worry he's my best mate," I told her and she just glared at us before she disappeared into the crowd. "Nice girlfriend," I remarked and he sighed heavily. "I know she's not the nices
Cole's POVI sat in my car as I've been stuck in traffic for the past hour. If I'm lucky I might make it back in time to go support Liv. I know I'm letting her down but what I'm about to do is for the both of us. The cars in front of me slowly started to move again so I sat upright before driving out of town and in the direction of the city. After a lengthy drive I finally parked my car in the hopital parking lot. Before I climbed out of the car I grabbed my backpack from the backseat and locked the door behind me. I looked down at my watch before walking to the frontdoor of the hopsital. I have about two hours left to run my errands, then I have to head back if I want to be in time to see Liv compete. I entered the crowded hospital building before entering the elevator. One of my friends back in Boston's dad is a doctor at this hospital, and knowing that I'd come home this weekend I made an appointment with him. I stepped out of the elevator as soon as it stopped on the fifth fl
"And some food." Liv demanded so I immediately nodded in agreement. I'm going to spoil her rotten."Okay, let's go." I softly told her before I placed my arm around her shoulders then we walked over to my car. I opened her door and she thanked me before she climbed into the car.I got in on my side of the car before I started driving and we just started talking about anything and everything. We haven't been this comfortable around each other in a long time. I missed her. Once we were done buying the food and ice cream that I promised her we drove home. After ten more minutes of driving we finally arrived at home so I parked my car in the garage. And just as we got out of the car it started raining outside. We made our way into the house and headed straight upstairs to my room. Liv switched my tv on before she grabbed a shirt from my closet. I got our food ready while Liv climbed under the blankets on my bed. I pulled the hoodie I was wearing over my head before throwing it aside. I
After we were done in the kitchen, Cole and I ate the pasta that we made and decided to sit in the living room. We sat cuddled up on a couch while watching tv. We suddenly heard the microwave beeping, alarming us that our popcorn was done and Cole got up from his seat beside me before going into the kitchen. His phone suddenly started ringing so I frowned lightly before going back to watching tv. His message alert went off and the screen lit up again. I bet it's that Gemma girl. I always knew she had a crush on Cole, she can't leave him alone that's why she's always texting and calling him. Even her dad has his number, I mean what's up with that? I carefully leaned forward and read the text on Cole's phone."Your DNA test results will be available to collect on October 15th 2024."Cole did a DNA test? Is that what he was doing yesterday? I expanded the message but was careful not to open it and the hospital address caught my attention. I heard Cole entering the living room again so I
I gave one last glance at Ajay's grave before I left the cemetery. I haven't visited him in a while, I miss visiting him often. I miss the times when Ajay's death was the only source of my pain, when all I wished for was to see him again. But lately I just keep wanting and wishing for more. I walked back to school and got there just in time for the first period. I grabbed my books from my locker and started walking to my class, I felt someone placing their arm around my shoulder and when I looked up I found Ryan smiling down on me. "Hey, stranger." I wrapped my arms around his waist."Stranger?" He questioned with a deep frown settled on his forehead. "Yeah, now that you're on the football team you're too cool to hang out with me." I told him and he laughed lightly. "Liv, you're the one who's been ignoring my calls. I've been looking for you." He told me and I sighed lightly. "That's not true." I told him in disbelief and he raised a single eyebrow at me. "It's not, I would nev
