OLIVIA


    I was busy with the kids when the security informed me that I had a guest. Which got me curious as I knew no one who would visit my home. All the people who visited my home, I knew them and could count them in one hand. I went and checked, and I almost got a heart attack when I saw who it was.


    "Hello Olivia." Lupita, that was the same person who ignored me as if she couldn''t see me only a week ago. What was she doing there? "Can Ie in?" I snapped out of it and moved aside for her to enter.


    I stood there watching her walk to the lounge until she disappeared from my sight. I didn''t know what to think or how to feel. She ignored me, like I didn''t exist. Yes, she asked for time, but I didn''t think that meant ignoring each other on the road.


    She and I came a long way and had been through hell and back together. I understood when she told me her issues and gave her the time she needed. But I thought when we needed each other we would be there for one another.


    I sighed following her to the lounge, she was sitting like a guest, like someone who had not set foot in my ce before. That alone got me pissed off, I might have done things that led to our rtionship being strained like that, but I was human too.


    I had feelings and they did get hurt sometimes. "What brings you here?" I had to ask as she was not saying anything. I wanted to know why she was there, was she feeling guilty or what. "I don''t know."


    I frowned, she didn''t know. That to me didn''t make any sense. She came all the way from wherever she wasing from for no reason? I doubted it.


    "Nick came to see me." she continued, I wondered what that had to do with her being in my house. "He made me understand somethings I may have overlooked. No, I didn''t overlook them I just didn''t want to see them."


    Still, I had nothing to say. What was there to say about that? nothing if you asked me. to me, it was like she was venting.


    "He reminded me that you were not at fault on some of the things I med you for." she told me she was starting to resent me because of what Nick did. That people treated me differently because of how others treated them because of me.


    I didn''t get what she was trying to say now. "I won''t sit here and lie to you. what Nick did pissed me off and made me resent you.” she already said that, and she was saying it a second time now. "I think resenting you was easier than facing the fact that a man I wanted didn''t want me. that he only wanted to stay close to the love of his life by using me."


    She paused sighing heavily. "I know Nick, I have known him for a while, and I know what he is capable of. I know he loves you and, in his life, there will never be anyone else other than you. I knew that. but for some reason, I decided to forget that fact when he acted like he wanted me."


    I found myself getting bored because I still didn''t know where the whole thing was going. “I guess what I am trying to say is that it''s easier to me someone else when things don''t go well for you. I med you."


    I already knew that I had been feeling guilty that whole time thinking about how I ruined our rtionship, how the people closest to me ruined our rtionship. I took all the me for that, but it wasn''t mine to take.


    "You know, you right when you said you knew what Nick was like when you got involved with him. I don''t get why you med me when he didn''t live up to your expectations. I took the me for that and apologized to you, but we both know that was not my me to take. I was being arrogant and thought if I just apologized everything will be okay but no, am done with that."


    I was starting to really get pissed off, I had a real issue with Ethan, and I got where he wasing from because I was directly involved in what happened, that was the me I should have taken on me not the one with her and Nick.


    "Lupita, I think you used my goodness knowing very well that I would try to make things right and take the me for everything when you knew I wasn''t at fault. You and Nick didn''t inform me when you were starting whatever you were starting. I just saw you changing and defending him even when he was wrong. Even then, I tried to make


    things right and easy for you, but


    you still med me."


    I stood feeling like sitting down was suddenly suffocating me to death. Why did I even take the fucking me when they got together without me knowing. Only told me when she developed feelings for the man.


    "Olivia, I know you are angry..."


    "No, you don''t, you thought you wille in here and tell me what Nick said to you and how you realized that you were wrong. Then expected me to take you into my arms and tell you how happy I am to have you back in my life. that is what you expected. Is it not?"


    She said nothing, she knew what I was saying was the truth. "I do like to have you back into my life but when you did, making me look like a fool ignoring me and getting into the car feaving me there was hurtful. If you were ming me for your grandmother''s death, I would have understood but you are ming and resenting me for a man, you knew very well the kind of monster he was like is unfair."


    I chuckled. "You thought you and Nick were going to be Bonny and Clide that is why you encouraged him to kill Xander that you would bond over that but when it didn''t happen that way you got angry and med me for it. am done with that. please leave, if you want toe back you can but get your shit together before you do."
