A Start of Something New

 

"Good morning, beautiful" Ronnie greeted Olivia when he saw her eyes flutter open

"Morning, handsome" she yawned. That morning was the first morning she woke up in Ronnies arms, something that she'd been wanting to do for quite sometime.

"How do you feel?" he asked

"Still sleeply," she answered even though she knew what he was talking about "Last was awesome by the way" she added

"It was, you were amazing"

"Thanks, we should do it again" Olivia suggested moving closer and kissed him. He rolled on top of her and continued to kiss her 

"We have to get up" He mumbled to her 

"But baby! Pretty please?" she pouted pushing her body up against his

"Maybe tonight, but right now we have to get ready to leave" the girl huffed

"Ok" she agreed Ronnie rolled off of her and she sat up quickly realizing her lower back was incrediably sore

"You ok?" Ronnie asked while slipping on his boxers noticing the look of pain apperent on her face

"Yeah I'm just a little sore" Ronnie nodded. Standing up Olivia could hardly take a step. Her legs felt like her feet were cinder blocks. She fell to the floor and before she could look up Ronnie was next to her.

"What happened!?" 

"I just lost my balance I guess"

"Be careful! You scared me"

"I'm sorry, help me up?" she extended a hand

Ronnie got her to her feet and she stumbled. He sat her back on the bed

"Oh my god..." Ronnie gasped 

"What is it!?" 

"Look at your bruises" he pointed Olivia glanced down at herself. Her on inner thighs and hips where a few tiny bruises

"This is my fault. I should've been more careful with you. Are you in any pain right now?"

"No" she lied 

"Olivia" 

"Well, just a tiny bit.  Its all bareable though my lower back and legs are sore. My neck is sort of stiff. So, it's alright"

"No it's not alright! I hurt you" he handed her robe that was on the floor 

"Dont say that! I'm fine, at least I'm not dying" she tied the front of the robe in a knot

"You're staying here today" 

"No, I wanna come with you!" Olivia protested

"Oli, you can hardly walk!"

"Yeah I can! I'm just a little sore is all. I can walk perfactly fine" she crossed her arms

"Prove it, if you can walk across this room then you can come. If not then you promise me you won't leave this room today" 

"Deal!"

She got up and started walking finding it more difficult than expected. She manage just barely though

"See, I told you!" but Ronnie shook his head 

"Your face is silently screaming 'pain' and it really noticeable"

"But I-" she started but Ronnie cut her off 

"No," he picked her up and sat her on the bed again "You better stay right here while I take a shower" 

"Fine!" she spoke in defeat she knew there was no point in agruing any further. She knew it was for her own good and also knowing how stubborn Ronnie could be. When he had his mindset on something there was no nigociating in the world to change it

When He came back from his shower she was still in bed watching tv

"I'm going downstairs with Jacky to get some breakfast. Do you want anything?"

"No" she said with her arms still crossed

"I'm leaving now then," he kissed her on the forhead "I love you" he whispered to her Olivia rolled her eyes unable to stay mad at him

"I love you too"

"I'll call you and try to finish up early today"

"Ok bye"

"Bye baby" he was about to leave when she stop him.

"Yes?" Ronnie answered her stopped at the bed room door

"Can you help me to the bathroom? I have to pee" 

Laughing he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom and sat her on the toilet 

"You did not carry me"

"I know" Ronnie said starting a bath

"What are you doing?" 

"What do you think I'm doing?" Ronnie was pouring bubble soap in the filling tub causing alot of tiny bubbles to foam up in the water

"Oh my god," Olivia groaned when Ronnie lowered her into the bath " I'm not handicap" 

Ronnie leaned against the counter faceing away from her

"Olivia, I'm just so sorry"

"Why are you always apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."

"I was way to rough with you" 

"But I loved it. You need to stop apologizing about every little thing like right now" 

"Ok I'm-" Ronnie stopped himself Olivia giggled

"Don't laugh at me!" Ronnie mocked whined she stopped "And you need to stop taking everything so serious and laugh with me sometime"

"Ok then you stop saying sorry all the time and I'll stop whining...as much"

"Sounds like we have a deal" Ronnie said about to leave the bathroom

"You're leaving now?"

"No, not yet" he left the bathroom for awhile giving her time to finish cleaning herself. He came back with some clothes for her

"Thank you" she said unplugging the tub letting the water out he assisted her getting out "I got it from here" she reassured Ronnie when he started drying her off with the towel

"Oh um, ok" he left and waited outside the door for her anxicous 

...what if she falls...

"See, I'm alive and I managed to get dressed and brush my teeth all by myself" Olivia said sarcastically when she opened the door dramatically. Ronnie picked her up again this time Olivia simply sighed giving up in hopes of convinceing Ronnie that she was fine he laid her on the bed 

"I'll see you tonight" he kissed her one last time and said there good byes

~xXx~

After only a few hours of sitting in bed, Olivia was already bored out of her mind. She remembered Ronnie said that he would call her. She went searching for her cell phone

After making her already messy room look like a hurricane went through it she found her phone. Ronnie hadn't called yet but Marti and Nason had already called and text multiple times. Not wanting to confront her cousin just yet she called Marti and he quickly answered

"Hello?"

"Hi Marti"

"Hey Oli, what's up?" he sounded really excited over the speaker 

 she scoffed before answering "Nothing, I'm so bored right now"

"Well let's go out and do something today" he suggested Olivia was tempted to take his offer

"I wish, but I can't" she sighed

"Aw, why not?"

"I can't leave my hotel room" she spoke miserably

"Um, why?"

"I promised Ronnie I wouldn't. He's sort of making me"

"Is he there with you?"

"Nope"

"So, he's making you stay there all day by yourself?"

"Pretty much"

"That sounds really unfair" 

"Believe me it is"

"I can come over if you want? We could just chill"

"That'd be awesome"

"Alright text me the address of the hotel and your room number. I'll be there in an hour"

"Ok, bye"

"Bye"

She found the address and texted it Marti after that she decided clean a little since the place was a disaster. Housekeeping was really slacking 

 It seemed less than an hour when she heard a knock at her door. When she opened the door. Marti attacked her in his famous hugs. She winced slightly in his tight grip

"You ok?"

"Yeah I'm just sorta sore"

"You've been working out?"

"I guess you can say that"

"Oh, I got you these lollipops" Marti said giving her a bundle of pink and red heart shaped candies 

"Thank you, come in" she accepted the gift and allowing him in. They both got comfortable on the couch.

"So, what have you been up to?" Marti asked

"Nothing new. I almost had to go back home to Vegas"

" I'm glad you decided to stayed"

"Me too. I didn't want to go back but my cousin really wanted me go with him Brian, Derek, and Scotty"

"Awesome, that means we can hangout more and you and Ronnie don't have to worry about getting caught"

"Yeah, I know"

"What were you doing yesterday? I tried calling and texting you but you never answered"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't keep my phone on me like I should"

"I'm guessing Ronnie did something special for you yesterday"

"He did" she blushed looking down thinking about last night.  

"Like what?"

"I wasn't expecting anything but last night he came in here and gave me chocolates and roses. He totally suprised me"

"Thats nice" 

"Then he said that he loved me and that he didn't want to hide his feelings anymore"

"Yikes! How did your cousin take the news?"

"We haven't told him yet. Probably when we all go back to Vegas"  Marti nodded understanding "And um, also..." Olivia thought of the right words 

"Also?" Marti said leaving it open for her to continue

"We had sex for the first time. It was also my very first time" she admitted. Marti shifted uncomfortably in his seat 

"TMI?" she asked nervously 

"Its ok" 

"Really?" he nodded again "Can I talk to you about it? I don't know anyone else to talk too. I would tell Jacky but that'd be way to weird. Knowing him he'll tell Ronnie and I'm really confused about some stuff"

Marti felt really uncomfortable about Olivia's request. He also felt very jealous. He knew he'd have to play the best friend role if he wanted to keep her around instead of just pushing his feelings on a person he cared about but was in love someone else. That would be useless...

"Sure"

Olivia started explaining. She didn't go into to much detail, just enough. She also asked questions and Marti gave advice. For some reason Olivia did not feel embarass or uncomforable talking to him at the subject.

"Thank you so much! I knew I can trust you" she thanked and hugged her friend again

"Your welcome, Oli. Anytime" he rubbed her back and the bottom of the girls tank top lifted up at bottom 

"Hey, are those bruises?" Marti asked noticing one that was on her lower side

"No" she lied pulling her shirt back down quickly 

"Oli" Marti muttered he lifted the shirt back up and the side her sweatshorts down. He gasped 

"How did you get these!?" 

"Ronnie and I-" Olivia started to explain but Marti cut her off

"Ronnie did this to you!?" Marti exclaimed angerliy. It scared Her so much the way he said it her mouth hung opened and she didn't responed right away Marti body trembled in so much anger "Did he!?"

"Yes, but-" 

"Has he been physically abusing you!?" Marti's face contourted with discuss as he spat out the question 

"He'd never do that!" 

"He's the reason why you're so sore! That's why he won't let you leave here!"

"Yeah"

"Oh he'll no! I'm-" 

"MARTI listen to me!" Olivia raised her voice. He got quite and she explained

"Oh" he spoke softly once he knew the truth

"Yeah, I can't believe you'd think he would do that to me"

"I'm sorry I made such acusations. It's just that care for you I had to make sure"

"I understand I forgive you"

"Thanks, but tell him not to be as rough with you next time"

"Well, I kinda like it that way" she admitted with a nervous laugh 

"But not to the point where your in the state you're in now"

"True ok then. What did you do yesterday?"

"Pfft. Nothing besides sit on my ass and watched cheesy romance movies on tv"

"No special girl you have in your life?" Marti shook his head no "Whaa?" 

"Yup it's true. I haven't had a girlfriend in years"

"Why not? You're such an awesome dude and cute. Not to mention you are Marti fucking Rubels. Why wouldn't girls want you!?

"Mostly my choice. I don't really have time for it. I'm gone most of the year. Touring ya know?" 

Olivia nodded "Mhm-mm" 

"So yeah thats pretty much the reason. MDE is taking a break right now because we just finished recording our 2nd album"

"Sweet, you have let me hear some new songs before they come out" 

"I'll see what I can do"

They continued causal converstion until Olivia's phone vibrated against the coffee table in front of them 

"Let me guess, Ronnie?"

"It is" she confrimed looking at the I.D 

"I'm not here btw"

"I'm going to just lie" she said then answered the call

"Hello?"

"Hey baby. Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Are you still sore?"

"Not really" Ronnie let out a sigh of relief

"Good"

"How much longer are you and Jacky staying in the studio?"

"Only a few more hours then we're going to get tattooed afterward"

"I wanna come! I've been wanting another tattoo" since her first tattoo she had gotten a few more and she was really getting them in just as everyone had predictied she kept wanting another and another.

"What do you want done this time?"

"I don't know" she heard him chuckle she was about to tell to stop when she remembered their promises

"I'll make you an appointment so you can think about it ok?"

"Ok" she agreed 

"What have you been doing to pass time?"

"Watching Tv, talking to Marti"

"Whoa, you're talking to him again?"

"Yes because he is my friend"

"He isn't in the hotel room with you, is he?" Ronnie questioned Olivia didn't answer right away

"Olivia, is he there with you?" he's voice was stern

"Well, yeah he is but-"

"I'll have to call you later" Ronnie said quickly but it was clear it bothered him.

"Alright bye" Ronnie didn't even say good bye back he just hung up leaving the dail tone humming in the girls ear.

"He's pissed" Olivia said throwing the phone on the coffee table with enough force for it to slide across the surface and land on the floor. She didn't bother to pick it up either. Which was a good example why she hardly could ever find it or why it was never charged. 

"I probably should go now" Marti stated about to get up but Olivia stopped him by grabbing his shoulder 

"No, please stay. I hate being here alone"

"I really don't want to be around when Ronnie shows up"

"He's not coming back for hours"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," and with that being said against his better judgment he leaned back in his seat decieding to stay  "Thank you" 

"Yeah, your welcome"

"Ronnie wouldn't hurt you"

"I wouldn't be to sure about that"

"Well I am and I'm going talk to him about it. "

"Lets just talk about something different for right now. You said you're getting another tattoo?"

"Yeah I did. I'm not sure of what though"

"You should get something that means a lot to you. Not just someones elses idea out of a book"

"I know." she thought for a moment "Maybe I should get a portrait"

"Of whom?"

"I was thinking, my daddy" she said slowly thinking it through then nodded

"Hows your relationship with him"

"I haven't spoken to him in almost two years"

"You guys don't get along?"

"He died"

"Oh my, I'm so sorry"

"Yeah along with my mother. They both died on the same night"

"May I ask how?"

"Our house caught on fire. It burned to the ground before the FD showed up"

"You were the only one who managed to get out?"

She shook her head

"My dad and I-" she choked on her words

"Take your time" he told her

"We got out but my ma she was stuck inside and my dad when back in to try and save her..." Tears poured form her eyes and Marti tried his best to comfort her " They both burned to death. Together they died leaving me here by myself." she gasped buring her head in Marti's chest. "I was only 16! Their bodies where so chratted they had do be cremated" 

"Do you still have the ashes?"

"No, my grandma and I scattered them in a special place" she sniffedd and wiped her face " I'm sorry I never tell anyone this" she pulled away from him

"Its ok, you can tell me anything"

"Yeah, I know. It's just, I haven't even told Ronnie about this"

"Serious?" he raised an eyebrow and Olivia nodded "well, I feel special" she laughed at his sarcastic tone "And hungry" 

Olivia rolled her eyes, "But you're always hungry"

"Correction You're never hungry" Marti replied then all of a sudden she realized she hadn't ate today yet.  

"Just go get something to eat then!"

"Only if you come with me. There is a Burger King across the street"

"I promised Ronnie I wouldn't leave"

"We've been sitting here for hours. You can not tell me you're not hungry right now"

"Well yeah, I haven't ate anything yet-"

"What!? It's almost 6 in the fucking afternoon. Ronnie should thank me."

"Its ok, I can wait"

"I find immposible for you to tell me that you're not starving right now. How are you still alive? I'd died if I didn't eat something with in four hours of me waking up"

"I kinda just push those thoughts aside. Then I'll just try not think about it and do something else"

"Hold up. So, you're telling me you force yourself to forget about eating?"

"Sometimes" she said smiling nervously.

"Ronnie must have to hand feed you then" Marti said sarcastically 

"Only sometimes" Olivia admitted Marti's jaw dropped in disbelief

"Most of the time I feel as if he treats  like a baby. It's so annoying. Like, this morning he freaked out then made me stay in bed. He carried me to the bathroom he wouldn't even let me walk!" 

"He just loves so much"

"I feel so pampered all the time. It may sound weird but I really hate it sometimes. Also hate to admit I enjoy it too. If I'm in the mall with Ronnie or Nason and I say I like a pair of shoes or dress. They'll get it either right then or, try to surpise me with it later. Don't get me wrong it's nice to have everything I need. I'm grateful for it too."

"You're pretty much a princess, right?"

"I don't like to think of myself that way. I'm afraid of becoming some stuck up bitch. I know some people like that, that are so ungrateful. It's just I was brought up learning to appericate the smallest things in life. When my parents died it was like my entire world changed it was excatly one year after my great grandmother passed away from cancer"

"I know what you mean. Trust me you will never be like those sort of people"

"You really think so?"

"I know so"

"Thanks"

"No problem. Do wanna you wanna go to BK with me?"

"Marti!"

"Olivia!"

sighing heavly she gave in to Marti's bad decison. "Fine, I'll go with you. But if we get caught I'm blaming you" she said getting up

"You're just going to throw me under the bus?" 

"Yup, I sure am" she sliding on her flipflops and put on Ronnie's hoody he had left

"Great, why not let you're boyfriend hate me even more" Marti added sarcastically and followed Olivia out the door

~xXx~

It was raining heavily outside when the pair left the fast food resturant the percipition was very warm. You could smell the ozone was in the air that felt you just stepped outside of a steamy shower with the A/C on 90*

"You should try to eat more" Marti told Olivia walking back into the hotel. His hair was dripping wet but Olivia managed to stay a little dryer with the hoody she was wearing She also hadn't even finish half of her sandwich before she was stuffed. It concerned Marti because he started think then he remembered that she would barely eat when they hungout

"I know, I try but I just can't most of the time. It makes me feel sick, then really tired like I am now" they where just  outside the door of the suite

"As long as you're trying and stay heathly"

"Ok, I will"

"Alright, I better get going" they hugged one last time. Marti watched her as she shut the door. He tilted his head back so that he was looking at the ceiling he sighed deeply and fusterated he pulled at his long black hair. He felt so stressed and conflicted

I seriously gave her sexual advice...fucking idiot he mentally punished himself annoyed by his own actions he dragged himself down the hall into the elevator where he lazily pushed the lobby button. Feeling of desending went through his body particularly at his stomach making him feel slightly sick until he heard the pleasent ringing sound and metal doors opened.

 Marti he's eyes widened in front of hin stood Ronnie Radke and Jacky Vincent. Ronnie glared at him more intimidating than usual and with Jacky's well defined facial features if you didn't know him he just looked like he was total badass

"I'll think I'll take the next elevator." Jacky announced in a rather calm tone darting his gazed between Marti and Ronnie. He then walked away leaving the two men. Ronnie stepped in the confined space. Marti's heartbeat raced. He started to step out but he was seized by the shoulder

"We need to talk" Ronnie commanded in a low short voice. Reluctantly he nodded and took a step back allowing the doors to slowly shut.

"Whats up?" Marti manage to ask without his voice quivering

"You look nervous" Ronnie pointed out Marti shook his head calmly and answered him 

"Nope" was his reply as he grimced quickly Ronnie reached out and he quickly finched out of the way. Ronnie simply continued reaching for the numbered floor button. He silently chuckled then leaned back against the railing on the wall

"You wanted to talk so, I'm waiting" Marti said digging his nails in the cuffs of wet leather of the jacket he was wearing.

"So, you kept Olivia company all day?" Ronnie stated/asked. His eyes where so low that you hardly see the whites since there was such a thick layer of eyeliner around his dark brown eyes.

"Yeah, just a few hours this afternoon. We just talked. You know she was really lonely being in that room all by herself" Marti answered him with an clear understatement. Ronnie scoffed catching his drift.

"I'm just going to cut to the chase. Look, Marti, I don't like you as person-" 

"Obviously" Marti muttered 

"What Olivia sees in you as friend I have no idea"

"Thanks for the commpliment, buddy" 

"I know you have feelings for her"

"Of course I do. She is my friend"

"Bullshit, you know what I'm talking about"

"Ronnie I don't-"

"I can tell by the way you look at her. The way you speak. I'm not a fool"

"Didn't say you were. I know she loves you," 

That all to pleasant ring qued that they had reached the requested floor.

"Excatly, so if you try to fuck with her feelings, or even have her question them," Ronnie stepped up to the other man nearly face to face  "I'll be sure to make you feel like that was your worst mistake in your life, ever." Ronnie shoved Marti forcefully against the wall. The quick yelp of pain and immediate winceing barely satisfied what Ronnie really wanted to do him. Ronnie walked out the elevator and turned around before the doors closed Marti was in the corner hunched over holding his shoulder his jaws clentched staring at  Ronnie with out even blinking. The look in his eyes where neither hatred or fear. In away sort of in between. The perfact balance between the two clashing emotions. 

Ronnie smirked then waved goodbye to the wounded man as the elevator doors slowly shut. 

"Ronald, what are you doing?" Ronnie heard her voice form some distance he glanced  down the hall to see her coming. She ran to him  jumped and Ronnie caught her in mid-jump. Her legs wrapped around his heigher waste. All of Ronnie fustration melted away as soon as he felt her in his arms 

"Hey Oli. What are you doing out of the room, babe? You're supposed to be resting" he was carrying her back to the room now.

"Um, I thought you'd be back soon so I looked out the door and you where there" she lied then smiled and kissed him before he could evaluate that she was not telling the truth. Marti had forgotten something that she was trying to return before he left. She thought for only a second when her thoughts spilled right out of her mouth

"You were waving at somebody before the elevator door closed"

"What are you talking about?" Ronnie asked then letting her slide of his body. Olivia was about to explain what she saw when Ronnie also addressed another observation

"You've been outside" he stated then walked in to the suite Olivia was behind him speechless with her mouth hung open. Her hearted beat slowed down in thumped hard against her chest then, so soon as it came, it went back to normal 

"I've been in here all day," she lied quickly without even thinking about it "You can even ask Marti"

"Enough with this Marti stuff, Olivia. What about me?"

"So everything has to be about you, huh?"

"Tell me you've been in this room all day" Ronnie ordered with his words spoken very low. It took Olivia a full minute before she  nodded slowly

"You're lying to me" he whispered with hurt lacing the words. She just stared at Ronnie in disbelief "Not only have you left the room but you've left this hotel"

"Ronnie?" She breathed 

"Your skin is damp and so are your clothes. My hoody," he picked it up from a chair and wrentched it. Water fell from the black cotton on to the low carpeting that the couple stood on

"You went somewhere with Marti"

Olivia nodded again slowly

"Do you love me, Oli?" Ronnie questioned he head tilted back slightly then to the side. He narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow. 'Yes' was all she could mouth. Words wouldn't even come out pass her trembling lips. Before Ronnie could make anyother statement Olivia Brokedown in tears before him. 

"I'm sorry" she went to hug him but he stepped back pushing her gently away. Olivia looked up to see Ronnies eyes had turned pink where it was supposed to be white. He grabbed her tightly by the arms and pinned them to her sides

"What, are, you sorry for?" he asked he slowly

"I've lied to you" she said looking down

"Look at me and tell me what you've lied to me about"

She glanced up Ronnie was staring at her like never before. The stares that he gave her before made her feel special inside. Now the way he stared only frighten her to death. She knew she would never ever lie to Ronnie again "Tell me, now!"

"I-I went outside when I shouldn't have" 

"Where did you go with Marti?"

"Well, well I, um, I hadn't ate y-yet and ah, Marti convinced me to go to the burgar king just across the street that's only where I went I promise!," Ronnie realesed his grip on her "I didn't go anywhere else, I'm so sorry. I love you. I'm not going to lie to you anymore. I'm sorry" she continued to rambled on and on an as she buried her face in Ronnie stomach and cried

Ronnie let a tear fall from eyes. Now he felt like the gulity one. He took her to the bed all the while Olivia hadn't stopped crying. He tucked her in under the messy sheets. He swiped the tears away from her cheeks and commanded her to stop crying. Then as a result she began  to sob loudly

"Do, you, forgive me?" she asked between sobs and sniffs

"For lying to me when I was being a controlling douche? Yes, I do."

"But you weren't-" Olivia started to protest yet again. Although this time she was cut off with a kiss on the lips

"Do you forgive me for jumping to concluions?"

"What do you mean"

"I'm breaking our little promise from this morning. Olivia I'm sorry so so very sorry. I thought you where going to leave me for Marti. That you would cheat on me"

"Why would you believe that? I tell you this almost everyday ok? He is my friend! Our relationship is like Jacky and me. I love you, not Marti. Stop being so jealous" she snuggled up close to Ronnie

"I just can't help it. You're so wonderful. It's sometimes to believe you're all mine. That I was lucky enough to be with you before anybody else could"

"It wasn't luck. This what we have here, this was meant to be" she clung closer to him

"Yeah" Ronnie agreed waiting for a reply but he only heard the heavy breathing the woman that laid in front of him
