Everything was blurry when Olivia opened her eyes. Her head was a little dizzy, and she was suffering from a severe headache. However, when her vision cleared after about five minutes, she saw that she was surrounded by Ella, David, and, surprisingly, Caleb.
“How are you doing, my dear?” Ella asked her.
“Fine, I guess.” She shrugged as if it was nothing. She had previously fainted but had no one to care for her. So she had always woken up alone, having to take care of herself and tend to herself.
After David checked her, Ella went downstairs to cook something for her.
“How did I get here?” She wondered to herself.
Caleb’s voice startled her. “We got you here. You were unconscious back at that old house.”
Oh my goodness!! Ella and David would have undoubtedly discovered her there. How could she have been so oblivious? So much for her escape plan.
“I should have looked for a better place.” She thought to herself.
“And get me in more trouble?” Caleb listened, even though he wasn't supposed to.
'What is it with this guy, startling me over and over?' Olivia pondered.
“I did not get you into any trouble. I did what needed to be done.”
“Really? By disappearing and scaring the crap out of me... Um, everyone here.”
“I did what you said. You should be grateful that I was doing both of us a favour.” Olivia was now staring at him.
This was new to him. Till now, he had never seen her glaring at anyone.
“Excuse me! But if I had told you to jump off the bridge, would you have done it?”
“That wouldn't have been such a bad idea!” She murmured to herself again. This made Caleb lose all his senses.
