"What does this all mean?" I ask hesitantly

Her eyes open and she stares at me with a confidence that shocks me to my core "I don’t knohat any of itto let this beatto smile at her sass, but I’ht now "We’ll talk about this later," I tell her gently "Right now…think you can get some sleep?"

"Yeah," she says with a small smile "I’m pretty wiped out"

I stand up fro one arht nohich causes anger to surge inside me Why does this happen to someone like to Olivia? Especially when I just found her?

Olivia closes her eyes and I turn to walk out of her bedroo to look back at Olivia, I find her watching me with heavy eyes "Thank you I didn’t want you to see this I’m sorry I didn’t tell you"

"It’s okay," Iabout this is okay I’et so, I had convinced myself that Olivia was the wohts of hanging out with her, going on adventures, her coht I was actually a bit juiced up thinking that it could be a hell of a lot of fun to get to know her…to have a relationship with her

But now that all seems to be coated in bitter ash and I can’t really see past the fact that she’s lying in bed sick, and I have no clue how to handle it

Is this going to kill her? A involved with a woman who could die?

I have no answers, and that just pisses me off more

As I let myself out of Olivia’s aparth my contacts so I can dial up our teauy…nursed h a wrist sprain late in this past season, and we’ve beco "What’s up, Garrett?"

"I need some inforot, I’h

I’et me someone that can answer some questions for me," I snarl into the phone "And the sooner the better"

Mark’s voice softens "Yeah…sure No probley I’ll have hiht?"

"I’m fine…a friend of mine, not so much"
