Olivia sighed as she exited the plane and walked into LAX. It has been about two years since she stepped foot in her hometown of Los Angeles. So much has happened that she had to go away. She missed living in LA, but most of all she missed her best friends. Andrew, he bubbly, funny, athletic, energetic, and adorable friend. Jake her more serious but amazing friend. And the most important, the person she missed the most Fitz.
Fitz was her ultimate best friend. They were attacked hip to hip from when they were babies. Fitz and Olivia's fathers were best friends so they were together a lot. Fitz, was her everything, he was funny, loveable, adorable, and the person she's in love with. Olivia didn't want to hurt their relationship so she didn't act on it. All was well till that horrid night. She lost her two most loved friends Fitz and Amanda.
Olivia thought process was disrupted when Mellie launched herself at Olivia.
" OH MY GOD LIV I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU!" Mellie basically screamed. Mellie's father and Olivia's mother married last year and the two have gotten close. Maya and Eli had gotten a divorce when Olivia was in 8th grade.
When Eli got an offer from Oxford to be their med school teacher he accept. With all the drama Olivia decided to follow him there.
" Hey...Mellie." Olivia said surprisingly as she returned the huge hug that Mellie gave her.
" OMG Liv I have soooo much to tell you." Mellie gushed. " Jake is head over heals for this girl named Quinn Perkins. I mean he's WHIPPED. Oh your ex best friend Amanda has turned into a complete S.L.U.T and screws anything and everything. I think she's still trying to get over Jake. Andrew is his bubbly self, still single. Fitz…...well he just keeps to himself now. Him and I are kinda of a thing now I guess." Mellie blushed.
When Olivia heard those words come out of Mellie's word it was like the wind got knocked out of her. Fitz was that mad at her, she has no chance now, he's moved on.
" How can I come close to Mellie? I mean she's nice, smart, popular, athletic, funny, and a perfect person for Fitz." Olivia thought to herself. She had come back hoping that her and Fitz could work things out, but it was too late.
" I guess I couldn't blame him because I was the one who fucked up. I ruined him and us. If only I was brave enough to admit my feeling for him and not cut communications with him." Olivia thought to herself again.
" Liv, you okay." Mellie asked with concern in her voice.
" Yeah, I guess it just strange to be home again. Let's just say London is very different than LA.
" I can tell you've developed some sort of an accent. I would kill for your accent Liv. I'm so excited I have a sister now." Mellie gushed.
" Mel's we've always been sisters. I'm glad we are now officially sisters." With that the two headed towards Mellies car. Once they reach the car Olivia saw the audi and said " WOW MEL'S NICE CAR!"
" Oh Liv wait till you see yours."
" Wait what?" Olivia responded surprised. Mellie's dad Tom was a good man. He is chief of surgery at Los Angeles General, which is one of the best hospitals in the country.
" Yeah Liv daddy got you a car." Mellie responded happily.
" He didn't have to!" Olivia half yelled. She hated it when people spent a lot of money on her.
" Yes, he did. Think of it as a welcome home gift. Okay Maya just texted me and told us to hurry home." Mellie said as she put Olivia's luggage in the back of her SUV.
" Okay let's go Mel's." Olivia responded.
" Hey Liv why don't we head over to get a blizzard the oreo one you love so much?" Mellie offered.
" You know what let's do it."
" Yay, sounds like a plan Liv. It's good to have you home Liv."
" It's good to be home girl." One hour and one large Oreo Blizzard later Mellie and Olivia pulled into their neighborhood. It wasn't beverly hills, but pretty close. Tom and Mellie had moved in with Maya after they got married. Olivia's house was next to Fitz and Jake was down the street.
" What will I do when I see him again? I want to talk to him, but Mels is like a sister to me and I don't want to be a bitch towards her." Olivia thought to herself. They reached the house and there was a white Range Rover SUV with a red bow attached waiting for her. Next to the car was Tom and Maya holding a sign saying " Welcome Home Livia!" Olivia got out of the car and Maya practically ran and hugged her daugher tight.
It was very hard for Maya when Olivia left, but was very content Olivia was there for the wedding in Fiji. Olivia had served as the maid of honor. Harrison her older brother was in the Marines and was the best man. Harrison considered Tom his father, but never had a good relationship with Eli. Olivia missed Harrison as well, but she knew he loved being a marine and was happy for him.
" LIVIA MY BABY GIRL YOU HAVE GOTTEN SO BEAUTIFUL SINCE I LAST SAW YOU!" Maya said while she cried.
" I missed you more mom." Olivia was now crying. She and her mom were always close. Though being a surgeon Maya always made time for her little girl. Eli was different it was work before family.
Olivia wasn't too sad when her parents broke the news of the divorce. She knew that Eli was cheating on her mom and hated him for it. As for Maya, Olivia observed that her true love was Tom. Though they never acted it on it, but she knew. Maya was Tom's the one that got away. She was happy they were able to find each other again. Her mother deserved the best and Tom was perfect for her.
Maya finally let go of her daughter and Tom spoke up " Hey kiddo, I missed ya." as he pulled her into a hug.
" I missed you too Tom." Olivia replied.
" Here." Tom handed her the keys to her brand new Range Rover. " Think of it as a welcome gift kiddo. I know how you feel about people spending a lot of money on you, but I consider you my daughter so it was only fair that since Mel's got a car, you as well."
" Thank you Tom." Olivia responded thankfully. After catching up the four of them headed into the house. Moments later Andrew and Jake busted into the Holden residence with excitement. Their best friend was back. Jake brought his girlfriend and Andrew just wanted to spend time with Olivia. He have been in love with Olivia since they met.
" LIVVVVVVVV" Andrew yelled as he ran to Olivia picked her up and spun her around. Laughing Olivia said " Andrew James Nichols if you don't put me down right now I swear!"
" Sorry Liv, I am so excited to have you back that's all." Andrew replied as he rubbed his neck. Jake walked over to Olivia and gave her a hug and said
" Liv, I want you to meet Quinn my girlfriend." Holding her hand out Olivia said
" Hi, Quinn I'm Olivia."
" Hi, it's nice to finally meet you." Quinn said kindly. Maya walked into the living room and said that dinner was ready so they all headed into the dining room. Olivia was happy to see her friends, but there was one particular person she would like to have seen. Fitz. Olivia had many dreams about Fitz. He was her everything till she blew it.
Fitz was at the gym that he trained in for his street fighting when he saw that his phone was blowing up, Fitz knew exactly why. Olivia was back home. The girl that ripped out his heart and took it with her. He was so angry at her, and promised himself that he would resent her Olivia ripped out his heart, he had little to no respect for the girl he 'toyed' around with.
The girls were just there to distractions. He felt bad for Mellie, but she gave him what he wanted which was sex and that's all that mattered. Fitz checked his twitter, there was a picture of Andrew with his arms wrapped around Olivia, Jake smiling next to Quinn, while Mellie was next to Liv and Maya and Tom. Mellie had invited Fitz to the party but he hated Olivia or that's what he told himself, so he declined.
Just as Fitz put his phone down he saw Vanessa headed towards his way. Vanessa was a fellow trainee and Fitz's fuck buddy. Like he said he had no respect for women, not anymore. After ravaging Vanessa till she couldn't move a muscle Fitz left for his fight. During the time he was pounding into Vanessa all Fitz could think about was one person, a person who haunted his dreams. Olivia. After winning the fight Fitz realized that he had a huge cut on his eye so it gave a perfect excuse to head over to the Holden household to see Olivia.
Fitz walked into his 1967 Black Ford Mustang which he remodeled with his dad. Big Jerry was an anesthesiologist at LA General as well, while Alice is a lawyer. It was 10:30 when Fitz arrived at the Holdens household. He was wearing a Duke T-shirt with cut of sleeves, gym shorts, and sandals.
When Fitz rang the doorbell Maya answered.
" Fitz, OH MY GOD." Maya gasped as she saw Fitz right eye was close to being closed because of the puffiness, and his lips was busted.
" Hello, Mrs. Holden I was wondering if you can patch me up." Fitz said as he pointed to his right eye.
" Oh of course honey, come on in. Mellie left for end of summer camp before you got here in case you were wondering Fitz."
" Oh thank you for informing me Mrs. Holden." Just when Maya was about to say something else Olivia walked in saying
" Mom have you seen m….." Fitz glared at Olivia. Sensing that the two needed to be alone Maya excused herself to to get the kit to patch up Fitz.
Olivia observed Fitz he had become taller, more muscular, and his right arm was covered in tattoos, from top to bottom. Fitz knew Olivia didn't like tattoos and that's why he choose the T-shirt he was wearing now.
" Fitz... I…." Olivia was about to continue when Fitz spat
" Oh so now you can speak to me?"
" Fitz…."
" NO, don't you Fitz me. Only my friends get to call me Fitz. To you I'm Fitzgerald." Fitz knew his words would hurt Olivia, but he wanted her to feel the pain she caused him.
" I'm so…"
" I don't want your fucking apology Olivia. It means nothing to me. Why did you come back? Did you come back because you were done whoring around in London that now you had to come back and do the same here." Fitz said with so much hate in his voice.
Olivia couldn't take it anymore she ran out of the room and straight to her bedroom, while Fitz sighed. In her bedroom Olivia cried her eyes out. She couldn't even recognize who that was down there. It certainly wasn't her warm, loving, kind Fitz. This Fitz was full of hate and anger, and it was all her fault why he's like that. Olivia was so excited to see Fitz, but now she was going to avoid him as much as possible.
Fitz had changed for the worst and hated it and it was her fault. Andrew had informed her that he's been very distant with them as well and that Fitz spread as many legs as possible and didn't give a fuck about anyone but himself.
