Davina’s Pov:-
I stepped inside and saw April sitting beside Olivia, who was staring down at her while leaning her back to the headboard. I looked around the room and noticed that there was no one in the room other than April and Olivia. I was beyond confused, I rushed towards April who was playing with her toy while sitting beside Olivia.
“April,” I called while moving towards her, hearing my voice she glanced at me and jumped over to me.
I caught her in my arms and hugged her, “Where were you?” She asked while hugging me, I moved back and pushed her hair off her face and stared down at her.
“I was outside, Are you okay?” I asked while searching for anything on her,
“I’m okay,” She replied,
I glanced at Olivia, who was watching me and April with a blank expression on her face. I swallowed the lump formed in my throat and moved my eyes towards April,
“What are you doing here? Where’s Coop and other members?” I asked, but she just shrugged her shoulders.
I turned back and saw Arthur standing at the doorway, his eyes were fixed on Olivia and I noticed the way his eyes held hurt and relief at the same time. The way tears began filling his eyes made me feel suffocated all of a sudden. I just stood there and stared at him, there was some kind of pain in my chest, I don’t know what it was nor I could pinpoint why I was feeling it.
Why does it hurt to see him staring at her like that? Why do I feel hurt when I see him with her? Why?
I held April in my arms and walked towards him, I glanced at him but his eyes were glued on Olivia. I felt my heart drop, and my breathing heavier as I walked out of the room and made my way towards my bedroom, there was disappointment inside me and I couldn’t understand why I felt so disappointed and hurt.
April is safe and so is Olivia, nothing happened to them both yet I feel so sad and down, the way Arthur stared at her with tears rolling his eyes was flashing in front of my eyes all the time. I don’t know why I feel so uneasy as I remember it.

I was feeding April dinner when Arthur walked inside my room with a worried expression on his face, looking at his face anxiety fill in my body. I watched him walk towards me with his head lowered and a disappointment was evident in his eyes.
“Davina… Come with me,” He said, I stared at him in confusion.
“You need to know something!” he added.
“Know about what?” I asked,
“I can’t tell you about it here!” He replied, I glanced at April and got up from the bed,
“What is it?” I asked,
“Come with me,” he said while gesturing to me, I glanced back at April before following him outside.
“Where are you taking me?” I asked while walking behind him.
“To Olivia,” He replied without glancing at me,
Hearing her name I stopped in my tracks, my mind flashed all the bad memories I had of her and also Arthur’s behaviour around her had been bugging me like crazy. I’m not ready to face her yet, I just can’t stand in front of her when all the painful memories rush back to my mind.
I turned back and stepped ahead towards my room but Arthur caught my arm and pulled me back,
“Where are you going?” he asked with a confused expression,
“I’m not going to her!” I said adamantly and tried to pull my arm off his grip,
“Why?” he questioned,
“I’m just not ready to meet her,” I said while trying to pull my arm out,
“You have to meet her now, it’s important!” He said while dragging me with him,
“No… I don’t want to meet her,” I yelled at him while trying hard to stop him from dragging me,
“You can meet and have all your time with her if you want!” I shouted at him.
“What?” He said while stopping and turning back,
“Yeah…” I simply said and stared at him,
“You can be with her and have a wonderful time but you can not just drag me to her forcefully,” I added, “…. when I said… I don’t want to meet her,”
He sighed before turning to me fully and staring down at me with sadness in his eyes. I don’t know why he is staring at me like that but something clearly was off here. Looking at him many different questions arose in my mind,
Is he going to tell me that he wants her? Did they decide to get back together? Is it why he’s staring at me like that? What if he’s taking me to her so that both could tell me about their decision to get back together? What should I do if they do that?
Jesus!
