*Oliver's POV*

"You wanna go out some time?" I blurted out

"We are out Oliver. What do you mean?" Rosie asked

Is she seriously asking me that?

After school I decided to show Rosie one of the best spots in town. HQ. We were sitting at a table by the back window enjoying coffee when I was an idiot and blurted out a stupid question.

"Never mind it was stu-" She cut me off

"No no" She grabbed my hand effectively shutting me up. I started blushing.

"Oh shit" she blurted

"What?" I asked

"were you asking me out?"

"....Maybe...."

"Oliver!"

"Yes?"

"try again"

"What?"

"Try again"

"I still don't get it"

She signed and muttered something about men being idiots

"Ask me again" She said "You might be surprised at my answer"

"Okay?"

She let go of my hand and sat back in her chair sipping at her coffee. Waiting.

Just spit it out! Don't be an idiot!

"Rosie do you wanna go out sometime?"I spat out

"I'll have to think about it" She said standing up grabbing her bag and attempting to walk away. I quickly grabbed her arm stopping her

"But you said I would be surprised at your answer"

"Was that not surprising to you?" She said walking away with a smirk

"Can you please just give me a straight answer?" I asked turing around towards the door

She turned around and smiled.

"Pick me up at 8:00" With that she walked out smiling, making my smile grow wider.

*Jake's POV*

"Hey Ivy"I said

"Hello" She responded being her typical weird self.

"It's me"I joked and she lightly hit my arm.

"Shut up"

"You asked for it!"

"did not!"

"Yes your did"

"Whatever Jake" She said knowing I'm too stubborn to argue this

We were outside some random café Ivy wanted to try out. Instead of just sitting inside we decided to walk around the town a little bit.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked looking at me with concern "You look a little weird"

"Yah I'm just thinking" I responded

" 'bout what?"

"Stuff"

"What kind of stuff"

"I don't know just... stuff"

"Come on Jake it's just me. Now tell me what the f*ck is wrong" she was giggling as she spoke making me smile as I let out a low chuckle

"Nah you'll laugh at me"

"Oh my god!" She took a few steps ahead of me then turned to look at me, stopping dead in her tracks waiting for me to answer. I stop too, looking at her being serious.

"Iv its Nothing" (A/N Jake's nick name for Ivy is pronounced I'VE. Making sure everyone gets that)

"Fine" she said walking away fro me and grabbing something from her purse.

"What are you doing?" I asked her

"Calling a ride, your boring" She pulled out her phone and stated dialling numbers

"Come on Ivy it's not that big of a deal"

"Hey Sasha can you come pick me up?" she had her phone at her ear, waiting for Sasha's response

"Fine! Iv, I was debating something" She pulled her phone away from her ear and I felt stupid once I realized it hadn't been turned on in the first place

"Debating what?"       

"I-I- Well It was- Just- um..." No one has ever made me speechless before, Ever.

"Jake come on just spit it out"

"I was debating weather or not to ask you out"

She didn't say anything, she just looked at me with those beautiful green eyes and started blushing.She opened her mouth but when she was the one left speechless I freaked and sputtered out

"Ivy you don't have to say anything we can just keep walking or whatever-" She cut me off

"Thanks"

"What?"

"yah, thanks it might be kinda fun. Where we going?"

I was shocked I just stood there for a second not knowing what to do. until she shook me out of a daze.

"Jake" She grabbed my arm shaking it with her free hand

"It's a surprise. I'll pick you up at around 9:00-ish."

"What am I wearing?"

"Thats up to you"

"Oh shit" She was looking up at the clock at the side of one of the buildings.

"I have to go, I'm late for hockey. 9:00.  Surprise got it" She sped-walked down the street with her iced-coffee in one hand and she pulled out her phone as she called someone.

As she walked away the smile I usually had was a lot wider.

Well great. I thought to myself. Now I need to find a place to go for dinner. I looked around the streets hoping I could find something decent when my eyes landed on a little Italian place down the street.

Bella's. Thats sounds good.

I walked to the building to give it a better look.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Oliver's POV*

7:45

That was the time my sister decided to get out of the shower.

I had 25 minuets to get ready. Some people might say oh thats plenty of time.

No. It's not.

Not when you still haven't even found a restaurant and you have to get ready and you have to pick up the girl.

No. 25 minuets is not enough.

I took a shower and got changed as quickly as I could. I ran up to my laptop and typed like my life depended on it.

Eventually I found a little restaurant called Bella's that seemed good enough. I wrote down the address and ran out the door.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally made it to Rosie's place and we drove to the restaurant while having a very heated conversation about the why the Carolina Panthers should've won the Superbowl.

We finally pulled up to the restaurant and when Rosie got out of the car I got a chance to look at what she was wearing, tight-light jeans and a black tank-top thing her hair was down like always and she was wearing flip-flops and a gold watch.

When we got in I had to slip the waiter $20 so we could get in faster. The restaurant was really nice, It seemed to have an ancient Rome theme going to it. The walls looked like cracked marble and there were fake plants accenting the room everywhere. Pictures of gods and goddess were on the wall everywhere, The lighting was dim and because it was dark outside the windows were not helping with that. The air was warm but not hot, and smelled like fresh bread and cologne. Strange combination but it didn't bother me. Rosie didn't seem to notice my money 'accidentally' falling into the waiters hand so we sat down and ordered our food. It was awesome. I learned a lot about her that I wouldn't of expected. One thing that I wasn't sure weather to bring up or not was how her leg had healed so fast. Less then a week ago I saved her from a falling building where she injured her leg and couldn't walk, a couple days later and she's totally fine.

Weird.

I'm sure it's nothing.

By the time both of us had finished our food and were looking at the desert menu I heard the door open and a familiar voice start laughing loudly behind the waiter.

I looked over to see who it was. The waiter had them seated at the only open table in the restaurant. The one left of ours. And there sitting across from Ivy was Jake.

And he did not look happy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Jake's POV*

The Bella's place I had check out earlier was perfect.

Small, but 'Fancy'.

Before leaving my house I put another small swipe of hair gel in my hair a grabbed my keys hoping Ivy wouldn't mind ridding a motorcycle.

When I got to her house she looked really excited about the bike. She was wearing a green tank-top, tight black pants a gold bracelet and gold earrings. She had Black combat boots, her hair was down and she had a black bag to top it off. She looked gorgeous.

She barely put the helmet on before ripping it off saying "It smells lie Hair gel I laughed apologizing but admitting there was nothing I could do about it. So she put it on over dramatically and sat on the bike wrapping her arms around my waist.

I made sure to take a small detour because I could feel her excitement of the Motorcycle coming off her. We made it to the restaurant and when we stepped inside we were greeted with the smell of fresh baked bread and cologne. A combination I'm still not sure if I like.

We were seated at our tables and only after the waiter took our orders did I realize who was sitting at the table beside us.

Oliver and some girl with pink hair.

When Ivy told me about Oliver and Grace I can't say I was happy. I wasn't sad or surprised either. I knew about Graces reputation before we started dating. When we started dating she promised to give up on all that stuff. Apparently she lied. Oliver however I was a little surprised, but honestly not much. He had showed up at my house many times after being at his uncles bar and having way to many drinks. The odd time he would start mumbling something about a girl-a different one each time-and when he woke up he would be hung over and he told me the story of his one-night-stand. But I hadn't expected him to use Grace as a 'one timer'.

Either way, when I found out I was angry but I pushed it away for Ivy's sake. I didn't want to end up going all 'hulk mode' in front of her.

But now that Oliver was sitting at the table beside me with a new girl and a smile on his face, any anger I had pushed away or ignored came surfacing back. Ivy noticed and grabbed my wrist from across the table and say something like 'we can ask to move tables' or whatever to try to calm me down. It didn't work. It made me angry at.......myself.

I was angry at myself for getting over Grace so easily, I was mad at that this guy beside me my best friend and that he would even consider sleeping with my now Ex-girlfriend. I wanted to strangle him. I wanted to use my power and crush him like a bug, I wanted to watch him suffer for what her did to me.

The worst part was my powers were not helping with this surge of anger rushing threw me. If anything my powers were influencing me, and instead of trying to ignore it and focus on something else like what Ivy was trying to say or the menu or the lights or...anything, I stood up from the table and walked to the bathroom preventing myself from thinking about this anymore or I might kill Oliver. What he did was wrong but her was still my best friend.

I walked into the empty bathroom and paced for a few seconds before someone knocked on the door.

"Jake?" Ivy called from the other side of the door "hey can I come in?"

"This is the mens room" I complained

"I don't care. Is anyone else in there?"

"no" I said sounding bitter.

She walked in and calmly said "hey, you okay?"

"I don't know" I admitted.

"if you want we can go somewhere else or reschedule or something. I don't mind Jake"

"Seriously?"

"Yah. We can go to the movies, or the dome or where ever, it's up to you"

"Iv you don't have to that. I can put up with him for a while"

"No you can't. Don't lie to me"

"Yah... your right"

"Then lets go somewhere else. I hear the new Dead-pool movie is pretty cool"

I muffled a laugh

"Sure" I agreed "Iv you know your nuts right"

"Thank you"

I laughed.

"Come on" She said holding her hand out for me to take."let's go"

I took her hand and we walked out. But when I saw Oliver again, all that anger came flooding back ten times faster and ten times stronger.

"Jake" Ivy called "Hey calm down, your turning red." I looked at my hands to see that she was right. My hands where glowing red, like some kind of aura or something. I couldn't stop it. I was mad, I was angry, I don't have words to describe what I was feeling. So I let go of Ivy's hand and charged at Oliver.

The last thing I remember was him standing up and my fist hitting his face. After that I blacked out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Ivy's POV*

Jake let go of my hand and ran towards Oliver. Jake was glowing red. Like he had been standing to close to a nuclear bombing facility.

I screamed at Jake to forget it and to stop. I grabbed his arm but the red glow must've stopped him from hearing of feeling anything cause he kept running like I was nothing but a string on his jacket. When Jake was about two tables away from Oliver I lost my grip on his arm and fell to the ground helpless and feeling like an idiot. I wanted to use my power to stop him but the restaurant was full and Sasha wasn't here to erase their memories so I would have to do this on my own. No powers, no backup.

Jake punched Oliver across the face and instead of Oliver's head being blow to pieces or dented or what you would've expected to happen with his strength, the punch simple knocked Oliver unconscious. The girl he had come with screamed and pulled a gun from her purse. I didn't know why she had a gun, but I was too occupied trying to stop Jake to notice.

Thats it.

I decided. I used my power and created an invisible baseball bat that hit Jake in the back of the head with so much force it actually knocked him out. He fell onto of Oliver and the position they were in made them look like they were spooning so I held in a laugh. The girl put her gun away and we both agreed to not mention the gun or how I magically knocked Jake out. She looked down at the the unconscious body's and started laughing. I couldn't help it, I stared laughing to. The people in the restaurant thought we were crazy but continued eating their food like nothing happened. It was strange. I took out my phone and took a picture.

"#Joliver. Oh my god I ship it" I said between laughs. The girl Oliver was with simply laughed harder.

After the both of calmed our laughter we introduced ourselves and I asked her If she could give me a hand getting them outside. I sent Sasha a text and asked her if she could pick us up in the van and she said she was on her way.

We brought the boys outside (with the help of 6 waiters) where Sasha was waiting. She didn't seem happy to see Rosie and I hadn't realized why until she pulled me aside and reminded me that this was the Rosie we found the file about. I told her I would be careful and we got the boys in the back of the van. Sasha closed the van door and her phone went off. She answered and had a worried look on her face before saying "I'm on my way" and telling me to get into the van. I did as she said saying bye to Rosie and sitting in the front seat.

"Sasha whats wrong who was that?" I said closing the door.

She pulled out of the parking lot and drove down the block a little before answering me.

"That was Marko"

"Yah what's wrong"

"The tree in the dome.. it's..."

"Sasha whats wrong?!?"

"it's dying"

"Sasha it's a damn tree. It would've died eventually anyways whats so wrong with it dying?!"

"If the tree dies then that means the life force of the tree is dying and if the life force of the tree is dying then that means...."

"Sasha your not making any sense what does it mean?!"

"It means He's dying!"
