When the news about the storm was relayed to Olivia she wanted nothing more than to curl into her bed and read her book. But in all honesty she felt disgusting after being in the sun and sweating all day. So she gets out of bed and trudges into her bathroom and turning the shower on.

Once she's finished showering she gets dressed into a warm clothes. She moves over to the mirror that's over the sink and staring at her reflection for a bit until she got a move on and did her skincare.

She tidies everything up and exits her bathroom, she carefully places her 'lover' vinyl on her record player and places the tiny needle on the vinyl watches as it spins satisfyingly. 'I Forgot You Existed' starts echoing throughout her room. The vinyl was a gift from her brother, Rafe, he knew she loved the album and overall thought that Olivia was the human version of the Lover album. He also brought her one of her other favourites albums 'folklore' but the deeper meaning of the lover vinyl meant a lot to her. Her and her brother were close, very, she knows he can be an arsehole but he's her brother after-all.

She smiles at the memory and climbs into her bed picking up her current book, 'If He Had Been With Me.' and she starts reading the book. The music drowns out the thrashing of the trees and the rain hitting the windows so she was content in her little room by herself, surrounded by nothing but Taylor Swift, a book, and the comfiest of quilts ever.

After a while she lets out a light yawn and her eyes started to hurt from straining her eyes while she was reading since it was going dark and she couldn't be bothered to turn a light on. She sighs, placing the book back on her bedside table as she lies down and feels her eyes droop. And in a couple of seconds she's fast asleep in her bed, safe and warm from the storm happening outside her window currently.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When the morning rolls around, she was already woken up by Sarah and dragged out of her bed by her twin sister so she can help her 'save the mice from the birds that are trying to eat them.' And because Sarah was asking she couldn't say no, she can't say no to her sister even if she wanted too and tried to, she would feel too bad.

So that's how she found herself leaning against a tree watching Sarah jump into the air swatting at the birds with...a tennis racket?

She was about to ask Sarah where she was last night but as she opened her mouth her dad, who was walking over with a woman whom she didn't recognised, spoke before her instantly shutting her up.

"Sarah!?" He exclaims.

She doesn't even turn around when she speaks back, "I'm busy!"

"Doing what?"

"The burrows filled with waterfrom the surge. The birds are having a field day." She says as she continues jumping up down and running around, swatting at nothing but thin air, Olivia let's out a small laugh at her sister's obliviousness.

"The birds have to eat too,Sarah." Olivia moves towards her dad and the old looking woman and shakes her hand politely, exchanging her name and walking next to her dad following Sarah.

"No,it's a mouse genocide out here. No!" She shouts missing a bird as it flies into the bushes where the mouses are.

"The cycle of life is what it is,sweetheart. Now, come on."

"I can't be a part of it.First they came for the mice, Daddy."

"I have a human being..."

"Oh, my God." She says hurrying over after spotting the woman.

"Hi." Sarah shakes hands with the woman, "I'm Sarah. I'm so sorry."

"This is Lana, Scooter's wife. You were storm prepping with him, right?" Olivia can see the recognition appear onto Sarah's face when her activities last night was said aloud.

"Yeah. He helped me latch the cabin on the Druthers." She nods, replaying the moment in her head as she tells it.

"Last night?"

"Yeah."

"And did he go out after that?"

"From here?"

"Yeah."

"No. Are you crazy? There was a hurricane." She shakes her head while talking.

"Well, did he say where he was going?" The woman, Lana, speaks up, the worry in her voice evident as she asks the question. "Get a phone call or mention anything?"

"He didn't say anything to me."

Lana turns to face ward with a worried expression on his face.

"I'm so sorry. Is he okay?" Sarah continues.

"He's absolutely okay." Ward places his hand on Lana's back, leading her away.

"I hope so." Escapes the woman's mouth as she being lead away.

"He's hunkered down somewhere. We'll find him." Ward reassurers.

"I'm sorry." Olivia finally speaks, rubbing the woman's back comfortingly before she's has to stop because her dad has lead her away.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Olivia stood in front of her dresser decided what to wear. Sarah insisted she and her go to the boneyard party with Topper.

Olivia was never the biggest fan of Topper, she thinks he's way to full of himself and it's true. He is.

She finally describes on a yellow knitted top, that is long enough on her body to be a dress and pairing it with some white flip flops she'll take off anyway.

She moves across her room to her desk and sitting on the stool and starting on her makeup.

Once she's finished she spray herself all over with her favourite vanilla perfume.

She checks herself once, twice, and three times in the mirror before she's one hundred percentage okay with how she looks before she exits her room and walking to the front door where she finds Sarah and Topper and all three of them leave in Topper's car and towards the boneyard.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Olivia stood watching her sister climb a red structure, not at all surprised or confused, she walked away continuing to drink from her red solo cup.

As the party progressed and the sun slowly disappeared below the horizon and the moon rouse. The drunks became more and more drunk, and less drunk became more drunk. noticeable pattern.

Olivia sat next to Sarah and her, annoying, boyfriend Topper.

Olivia turned to Sarah, "I'm tired, bored and if these people aren't throwing up there grinding on each other. And I want to go."

Sarah nodded, "Yeah, let's go. Top you coming?" And she got a nod in response.

As all three off them stood up, and started walking off they was stopped by JJ.

"Oh, wait. Hey, hey. Hey, Sarah! Sarah, can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee beverage?"

"No, thanks."

"Is it not fancy enough for you?" Olivia cracks a small smile, at not only the joke but Julia opposite her practically pissing herself.

"No. We were just leaving."

Then Topper gets involve, "Hey, you know what? I'll take it," He reaches his hand out, and all awhile Olivia still with the smallest smile on her face. "I'll—Thank you, man. I appreciate it."

"That's nice, but I didn't ask you," And at this Olivia smile grew a little more. "If you say pretty please maybe. But you didn't."

"Oh, pretty please. Pretty please?"

"So, Sarah. You can take it." And with that the cup is hit out of JJ's hand and all over him and Olivia and her smile drops the fastest it probably ever has.

JJ shoves Topper but is immediately stopped by John B.

"You're so funny, man." He shouts to Topper, while trying to be shut up by John b.

"Dirty Pogues!" And that sets John B off, Olivia watched him turn around and shove Topper. Olivia heard a soft thud against the sand and she turns to see none other than Julia still laughing on the floor, she rolls her eyes slightly.

"We're supposed to be incognito remember?!" Pope, probably the only sober one here, shouts slightly.

"Babe, babe, babe, babe—" Olivia audibly gasps as she watched John B get punched in the face by Topper, knocking him over.

As if it couldn't off gotten worse, Julia throws up somehow amazingly missing John B. And standing up again, with the help of pope, like nothing happened

Topper starts kicking John B into the water, "Hey, John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, all right?" And then just for what Olivia could imagine is for fun he kicks him again. The crowd all around them chanting 'Fight, Fight, Fight!!'

As Topper was celebrating his so called 'Victory' John B gets up wrapping his arms around his middle and tackling him to the floor.

As the fight continues Olivia finds herself next to JJ as the two boys find their way back onto the beach. JJ gently pushes Olivia a bit farther back so she doesn't get anywhere near the conflict and to prevent any harm.

As the two boys circle on another, Julia's slurs, "Fight that hoe!!!" And Olivia can't help but laugh and then drops as John B throws the first punch.

As punches are thrown the teens find themselves once again back in the water. John B throws Topper into the water, making him ever more agitated, causing the boy to drown John B.

Olivia can't help but notice the jerkiness of JJ and then she watches him as he pulls out a gun. And she can't really do much to stop him so she just shrugs.

Topper immediately freezes, the feelings of the cold metal barrel now on the crown of his head shocking him to his core.

"Yeah, you know what that is."

The boneyard immediately empties leaving a worried Julia on the floor by her brother, a distraught Sarah, a drowning John B, a terrified Pope and Kie, a frozen Topper, a man with a gun, and a Olivia who somehow is oddly calm.

"Put the gun down." Olivia speaks, slightly raising her voice so it's heard over the loud thrashing sea.

"Did you day somethin', Princess?"

"Put the gun down!" she says again.

"We're good, we're good." Topper repeats moving off of John B.

"Kie! Can you check your psycho friend, please?" Sarah yells.

"Okay, everyone, listen up! Get the hell off our side of the island!" JJ shouts, pointing the gun into the air shooting it a couple of times making Olivia flinch slightly.

And with that, the party is definitely over.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Olivia is sat at the table surrounded by her family when Sarah stands up, practically pulling her up with her.

She finds herself on the boat, staring out at the sea in a comfortable silence that is then intuitively.

"Oh! Hey," Sarah says casually, as John B comes out of our boat with our gas tanks. It's not really anything new for her as he works for our father on the boat. "Are you stalking us? Plotting your revenge?"

"Yeah. Why don't you just tell your daddy I blew the bilge on the Druthers?" Olivia can't be bothered to turn around and engage in the conversation so she sticks to staring at the sea and listening to them. "Everything's good to go. Just toppin' off these tanks." He finishes walking down the steps towards his own boat.

Sarah follows him, standing behind him as he loads the tanks into his boat, "Hey, are you okay? 'Cause that eye of yours looks really gnarly."

"Yeah. You know what? You can tell Topper he won the first round. I'll get him next time." He swings his legs over the side of our boat and jumping slightly into his boat.

"So there's just gonna be a reign of terror on this island now?" Sarah leans against our boat.

"Wars have been starred for less, Sarah Cameron."

"Okay. Can we drop the whole Pogues versus Kooks thing? It is really stupid."

"Oh...You know, it's easy to say when you're a Kook." He knocks slightly on his boat and walking to start the boat. Sarah shoves her middle finger up at him. And Olivia smiles and waves, earning a wave and smile back as he drives away.
