Her parents had also knocked on the door, yet she didn’t leave the room but called out from inside telling them that she wanted to be alone.
She still thought of what she had been told last night, how she won’t be going back to Hawaii, how she won’t be able to complete her studies because of her father’s huge debt, and how they were going to leave this home she had grown up in.
They had told her they would be moving to a country side, far from here, next to the oceans, a place with no modern job, perhaps she would become a fisher or a trader, her expensive life would be wash down the drain.
She would be separated from Lawrence and from Chloe, it was going to be extremely lonely, yet that is the life they wanted her to live right now.
She heard a knock on the door and turned to the door, it was still locked as she had locked herself in, she didn’t respond and waited to hear who it was.
“Olivia,” She heard her father’s gentle voice from outside the door. “Baby please open the door, we are really worried.” He said out loud this time.
Tears rolled down Olivia’s eyes, she didn’t hate him, she understood the pain he was also going through, but she needed time to process these whole information.
“At least, come and eat something, you don’t skip meals and we can’t take it seeing you locked up in there.” This was her mother’s voice telling her for the tenth time to come have something to eat.
“Should we send for Lawrence or Chloe, perhaps having them here would cheer you up?” Parker told her.
“I want to be alone!” Olivia called out in a hoarse voice, she didn’t want to tell her friends this, having them find out that she wasn’t going to go back to Hawaii, she didn’t want to see Chloe cry when she hears she would be leaving this building.
