oliver watched alexandra as she read wuthering heights. she looked so beautiful with her metal oval reading glasses on her face. her face showed that she was focused on finishing the book. alexandra could feel oliver staring at her making her quickly glance up at him. that radiant smile of hers could make your day a thousand times better, make you forget about all the crappy things going on in your life

she purposefully began to play footsies with him, scanning her feet onto his calves. the material from the cotton socks tickled his hairy legs making him slightly smile as she grinned before turning her attention back to her book

quite honestly, oliver couldn't even focus on the book he was reading. he didn't even remember what book he was reading. his main focus was on alexandra. she was so distracting with her beauty but oliver didn't mind it one bit.

he playfully kicked her foot making her leg slightly move. she laughed quietly as she hid her face in the book smelling the fresh paper instantly. soon she was able to look into his hooded blue eyes that made her excited

the bright sun shined through the window onto both of them which really made their eye colors stand out. "what are you thinking about?" oliver had the courage to ask. just as alexandra opened her mouth to speak, she heard honking from a familiar car. she smiled upon seeing grant's light blue chevrolet suburban, he was no where in sight.

grant bursted through the library doors running up to them both. "hey!" he breathed heavily

"what are you doing here?" alexandra asked happily, "we are going to a music festival." he quickly said confusing alexandra

"it's in prescot. all of your favorite artists are performing. amy whinehouse, duffy, deftones, frou frou, life without buildings and so many more artists." grant called out excited as oliver looked back and forth between them both, alexandra widened her eyes at the sight of hearing all those names

"isn't prescot like two hours away?" she asked disappointed. alexandra didn't want grant to have to drive that far for a festival but he wanted to take her out so they could have fun

"doesn't matter. do you want to go?" asked grant with a grin as he playfully pushed her

alexandra began to stutter, "y-y-yeah only if you'—" farleigh and venetia ran into the room almost knocking grant down, "shit! sorry!! alexandra c'mon go grab your things, the festival starts in three hours plus it will take two to get there, really three depending on how fast felix drives." venetia rushed

"can we ride with you?" farleigh asked making grant look at him not expecting to hear that question. he didn't mind them coming along but he wanted to spend the day alone with alexandra but he figured the more people the funner it would be. "is felix coming?" grant asked causing alexandra to stand up

felix poked his head into the library, "sure am." he then tapped onto the wooden walls before continuing upstairs to pack his essentials

alexandra tapped his arm making him look at her. she gave him a smile and nodded making grant sigh, "you guys are more than welcome to tag along."

alexandra quickly hugged him before screaming out of excitement before running up to her room, "oliver you're coming too!!!" she yelled before making it up to the top of the stairs. he sighed before getting up seeing grant was eyeing him up and down as if he was trying to read the nerdy boy. oliver gave him a glare before going to grab his things

after about fifteen minutes, everyone was ready to go. they all cramped up into grant's car, luckily they all had enough room to breathe. alexandra obviously sat in the front while oliver and felix sat in the very back. both not even noticing they were giving the same dirty looks to grant. alexandra was chilling on his lap innocently while smoking a cigarette with her feet hanging out of the window.

died in my teen by psyched up janis was playing. grant was singing the lyrics while alex mouthed the words loyally. the ride was filled with talking as they all were in sync with different conversations. oliver noticed how flirtatious grant and alex were being. how she playfully would push his head. tickling him making him burst out into laughter. their faces constantly inches away from each other as if they were going to kiss. it ached seeing them that way. same went for felix who wanted to punch him in the face

venetia had noticed then tension in the car, same with farleigh but they decided not to mention it aloud. they finally arrived at the festival. as they all expected, cars were parked all over which took grant a few minutes to find a spot. there were many adults walking towards the festival. huge groups of friends along with a lot of couples.

everyone got out beginning to walk in together. grant and alex were in front of everyone walking in hand by hand not paying attention to anything. they got a ton of stares as people immediately noticed them but out of respect, nobody bothered them. alexandra playfully walked away from grant about to let go, but he yanked her back near him causing her to laugh

they got to the festival around the perfect time seeing that amy whinehouse ran out on stage. everyone uproared in excitement as they saw her. she was extremely popular especially in the uk. amy scanned across the crowd and locked eyes with alexandra for a few moments instantly recognizing the teenager. she immediately waved blowing her a kiss. alexandra waved happily making farleigh widened his eyes

"wait, you know amy?" he asked shockingly making her and grant look over at him. alex nodded, "since when?!" he asked forgetting who alexandra was and how loved she was by so many people in the industry

alexandra kept her eyes on amy who was thanking everyone in the crowd for coming out, "i've known her for four years." she quickly answered

she began singing me and mr. jones. her voice sounded so melodic live. everyone was singing their hearts out to amy. they all were vibing out having fun. amy played a few more songs after that. oliver was fuming seeing grant standing behind alexandra, his hands placed around his waist tightly. she had her arms wrapped around his which made felix get pissed

even strangers could see that the two of them had over the top chemistry. oliver knew alexandra would never lie to him but he had a gut feeling there was more going on between them than what she was claiming.

after amy winehouse was done performing, frou frou came on stage getting praise. "ollie!!" they all heard a girl yell which made alexandra turn around to see a beautiful clearly young teenage girl talking to oliver. she had the bluest eyes ever, possibly even bluer than oliver's.

hair was so long and healthy, her blonde locks were beautiful. she was so beautiful that her beauty took alexandra away for a second. she hugged oliver who seemed hesitant at first but they eventually pulled into an awkward hug.

just as she was about to greet herself, oliver walked away with her following in behind him. they all were invested now itching to know who the mysterious girl was. they all continued on listening to the amazing live music but alexandra snuck away from them for a second to go find oliver. she walked all around the huge music festival eventually finding them near a tree that was practically in the woods

the two seemed to be arguing about something serious. alexandra quietly walked up on them causing oliver to go silent. she coughed, "i just wanted to come check on you, everything okay?" she asked grabbing his arm making him come back to reality

he calmed his facial expressions, "y-yeah erm everything is good." he stated but she could hear the jitters in his voice but she wasn't going to press him in front of the gorgeous blonde

"who is this?" alexandra went on ahead and asked because curiosity was getting the best of her. oliver awkwardly scratched his head, "this is erm olivia..."

alexandra gasped, "your little sister?" oliver nodded making her look back over at her. "you're are so pretty!! i'm sorry for being rude, i'm alexandra!" she nicely introduced herself which made a smile sweep across olivia's face, showing her perfect white teeth

she seemed happy, "me? you're beautiful!! it's nice to meet you." she said looking over at oliver who looked annoyed with his sister

"it's funny, oliver barely ever mentions me plus he doesn't have that many friends." olivia brought up making oliver uncomfortable

"well we should get back to our friends." he grabbed alex's wrist but she gently yanked her arm away, "wait oliver, olivia would you like to come hang with us?" she asked with open arms making olivia's eyes twinkle meanwhile oliver gave her a scary glare making her smile drop

"maybe another time." she muttered as a weak smile formed upon her lips... alex frowned, "are you sure? you're more than welcome." she assured the young teenager

"well it was nice meeting you beautiful!!" alex exclaimed as oliver grabbed her hand taking her far away from his little sister

"you too!!" she heard olivia yell out from afar

oliver began walking faster, "is everything okay?" he completely ignored her as he felt that he was going to pass out. alexandra quickly stopped him looking up into his eyes.

"i'm not going to say anything to any of them."

she knew how it felt to be asked a million questions about something she doesn't want to discuss, it was obvious oliver definitely wouldn't want to discuss his little sister around any of the catton family or grant. oliver began to breathe normally and nodded.

"c'mon. everything's okay." she assured leading him back to their group who had a million questions minus grant. alexandra spoke up and played everything off smoothly with them believing her story and leaving oliver be but farleigh knew something was up and he planned on getting to the bottom of it. grant went to go grab them all some food minus felix

felix quickly threw his bag over to alex who luckily was paying attention, perfectly catching it. he stormed off, "felix where are you going?!" venetia asked

"to cool off, i'm bored!!" he yelled pushing past people in the busy crowd. alexandra sighed clinching onto his bag like her life depended on it. some group of teenagers quickly bumped into them aggressively knocking something out of the bag. she heard something rattle onto the grass, just as she bent down to get it venetia snatched it up.

alexandra knew she was hiding something with the way she put whatever it was in her pocket. she reached her arm out, "let me put it back in his bag vee."

she awkwardly laughed, "i'll hold onto it." alexandra quickly sighed getting angry with venetia, she gave up instantly handing her the prescription pill bottle. alexandra quickly read the pill bottle which said the pills are aripiprazole

alexandra squinted trying to figure out what the hell felix has these for. then realization quickly kicked in.

the pills are used to treat bipolar disorder. she stood there frozen not knowing what to do. if anything, alex was shocked. it all began making sense as to why felix has been acting the way he has.

mood swings

anger

aggression

excess desire for sex

loss of interest

it all hit her like a punch. alexandra gave farleigh and venetia a disgusting look. "you guys knew this entite time, didn't you?" she asked hurt as fuck

"felix doesn't like people knowing about it plus he especially didn't want you to find out." farleigh tried to explain

"no." she stopped him from talking any further but venetia spoke, "alex, it's something-"

"no!! these past few weeks i have been absolutely fucking terrified of him thinking that he is turning into a monster, come to find out it's because he is bipolar and not taking his pills?!!" they both stammered not knowing what to say to her without hurting her even more

"you guys could have let me know about something this serious rather than keeping it from me." alexandra quickly placed the pills into venetia's hand then shoved the bag at farleigh

she didn't even have the energy to listen to the live music anymore. storming off to the car with sadness as the two of them looked with pure regret. oliver was much taken aback as alexandra but he refused to show it

a little bit after that, alexandra was ready to go home. grant didn't push for them to stay. he took them all back to saltburn, a silent drive immediately awaited for the group

when they got back, felix went into the kitchen to get himself a drink with alexandra following in behind him. "felix you need to take your medicine." she said straight up causing him to sit the bottle of whiskey onto the counter aggressively

"what the fuck are you going on about alex?" he asked impatiently rubbing his eyes slanging his bag onto the floor

she quickly went into his bag which angered him, "what are you doing—" she grabbed the prescription bottle placing it onto the countertop making felix laugh

he combed his fingers through his hair then laughed, "so now we are going through shit that isn't even ours?" he asked with disgust

"felix i didn't go through your stuff it fell out-"

"it doesn't fucking matter alexandra!! it is none of your concern about me taking those pills!" he yelled motioned with his arms out of rage

"look, i care about you." felix chuckled, "i'm sure you say the same thing to grant."

alexandra ignored that comment, "this isn't about grant. it's about you. you haven't been yourself lately, these will help you." she tried assuring him but he was not having it

"just fuck off alexandra." he waved her off before grabbing a glass cup beginning to pure the fresh whiskey into it

alexandra sighed, "that isn't going to help you."

"JESUS, FUCK OFF!!!" felix quickly threw the whiskey bottle at alexandra making sure to aim for her face but her reflexes were quick, she moved out of the way making her immediately clinch her shirt near the lower area of her stomach tightly.

she froze in fear as felix stormed straight past her. she blinked not even noticing whiskey dripping down her arm. broken glass surrounded her feet along. splattered whiskey placed on the wall with some on the floor. she was completely scared, her eyes portrayed fear as wet tears unknowingly fell from her eyes

ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful olivia quick

i'm aware this plot twist is shit and predictable but it just didn't sit right with me having felix act completely different from the movie without good reasoning!! please tell me how you guys feel about this twist, i love you guys 🤍
