Only If You Know novel Chapter 10

Olivia was looking in the mirror when she noticed a girl with green eyes staring back at her. She was fair-skinned. Things have changed dramatically in the last four years. Livy used to be a happy-go-lucky girl before the whole thing went downhill. Her eyes used to be bright green and twinkled, and her skin used to glow but no longer does. Those happy times in her life had passed her by.

She sighed deeply.

She misses her old life and wishes she could relive all of the happiness and good times. She wishes to reclaim her happy family. However, not all dreams come true.

“May I come in, Honey?” Ella spoke as she stood at the door to her room.

“Of course,” Olivia says. She smiled at her with a tight grin.

“How do you feel right now?”

“All right, thank you.”

“Good. I was thinking, do you want to go shopping because your school starts tomorrow?”

“No, thank you, Ella. I have all the clothes I require. I bought it with my mom about a month ago.” She lowered her gaze.

Despite everything, she still misses her mother. Olivia vividly recalls the day she went shopping with both of her parents. That was the day her parents spoke to her and apologized for their behaviour towards her. As compensation, they both took her shopping. After three years, she finally had a family moment with them. For the next two weeks, everything went swimmingly. Her parents were even seeing a therapist to deal with their grief and problems, and Olivia was on the verge of forgiving them when something snapped. Things began to deteriorate once more, and the next thing she knows, her parents were no longer in her life.
