Olivia came out to the roof in an attempt to get away from all the studying that she had to do. Sure she had not been here for a long time but in college she had to think about her future and if that meant studying all the time then so be it. She sighed as she sat down in one of the seats making sure the skirt that she had on was not riding up. The skirt was a jean skirt that she had in her closet for the longest time that she forgot about. She bought it back in High school. Her shirt was one of the most Comfortable ones that she owned it, was black. She looked around her and noticed that no one was up here. She thought that everyone came up to the roof or that’s what she heard from a couple of the students.
Olivia heard a sound on the stairs and looked over and she seen someone. “Oh, hello.” she said. She did not know the person but had seen her around a campus. “I’m Olivia.” she said, by way of introduction. “I have seen you around before.” Olivia remarked, looking back toward her book that she had brought with her for light reading.

Sasha come up the stairs to the roof. She was done with classes for the day and had called Mark and asked him to meet her here. She needed to see him out side of his classroom. She shivered as the cool autumn air hit her skin. She was dressed in a short sleeve black top and faded hip hugging blue jeans. She ran a hand through her hair and sighed. She jumped when she head a voice and looked over at Olivia.
She smiled at her as she rubbed her arms and walked over and sat her bag down at the table and then walked over to a cabinet over by the grill and pulled out a throw blanket. Her parents had them put up here because her and Alexis use to play up here all the time. Now Alexis always makes sure there are blankets kept up here for her and Sasha for when the come up here because is was one of Sasha's favorite places to be. "Hi Olivia, I am Sasha and I have seen you around to. I have just never taken the time to get to know you and for that I am sorry." She said as she walked over and sat down next down in a chair next to Olivia and pulled her feet up into her chair a she wrapped the blanket around her and snuggled up under it.
She was not expecting any one to be up here but at least Olivia seemed friendly and she meant what she said about feeling bad about not getting to know her sooner. If the last two months had taught Sasha any thing is was to get to know the people around you and to be there for your friends when they needed you and everyone needs friends.

Olivia smiled and only just noticed that it was a little chilly out here. Only she really cant tell because where she is from it gets a lot colder. “It’s ok.” she said, smiling. “I could of gotten to know you just as well as you could of gotten to know me.” she said, putting her book down. She was not new here but after what happened she really wanted to get to know more people. “Well, It’s nice to meet you.” Olivia said, smiling over at Sasha. She really did love to smile and people always thought she was weird in high school because she was always smiling and was always so perky.
“The only way to get to know someone is to ask questions.” Olivia said, sitting up straighter in her chair. “What is your major.” she said, hoping that Sasha would not think that she was annoying or overly intrusive. She brushed some hair out of her face, she never noticed but people tell her that she’s all the time doing it when she gets nervous, and looked up to Sasha. OOC. Are the posts long enough.. If not then I can make them longer.

Sasha smiled at her as she sat back and relaxed into the chair. "It is finally nice to meet you two." She said as she ran a hand through her hair and smiled at Olivia. She was nerves and didn't know why. But then Olivia was one of the first people that she has talked to since all of this happened to months ago. "My major is fashion design with a minor in mythology." She said as she laid her head back and looked up at the sky.
She let out a soft sigh as the sun hit her face. It was so quite and peaceful up here. She loved it up here. "This is my favorite place on campus." She said looking over at Olivia and smiling at her again. "So tell me what is you major and how long have you been in Haven?" She asked her wanting to get to know her better and hope she was not asking to much to soon. Some people did not like it when she was blunt but it was just a part of her personality.
OOC. Your posts are great so don't worry about it. I am alright with how long they are.

“My major is child development.” she said, smiling. “I want to work with children who don’t have family or people there to care for them weather it’s because they lost their parents.” she said, thinking about how she lost a mother really early and how hard it was for her to deal with that. “Or if their parents don’t care about them.’ she said, thinking about a friend that she had back in High school. “It was hard on a couple of people that I knew so I just want to help people less fortunate then I am.” she said, smiling.
“I have been here at Haven for two years now but I have really only kept to myself until just recently.” she said, sighing. “I did not know anyone personally.” she said, talking about the shooting that happened a couple months ago. ‘But it really hit hard and made me realize that I need to make friends and keep them close.” She pushed her hair out of her face again. “I was with family when it happened so I was not her to witness it.” she said, giving a nervous cough.

Sasha listened to her talk and smiled at her. "That is great. I know what that is like. I lost my parents when I was twelve. Not that they were very good parents to began with but it was still hard." She said knowing that a lot of people thought that Sasha's parents had been the prefect parents. That was true to a point. To Alexis, Sasha's older sister they had been perfect but to Sasha they had barely given her any attention at all. But still she had loved her parents no matter what and is had hurt knowing that they were gone. She knew that what Olivia wanted to do was a great thing and something the world needed. She laid her head back and pushed a lock of her hair behind her are as she listened to Olivia talk about the shooting.
That day had changed her life forever. She had slept with Mark while her brother in law and the closet thing she had to a real father. She felt tears spring to her eyes as she thought of Christopher and just how much pain her sister was in right now. "I know what you are saying. Everyone needs friend and you have new one if you want." She said as she closed her eyes and tired to fight back the tears. "You were lucky not to be here that day. It was so scary and it still is. My brother in law died that day." She told her but was sure that Olivia knew that. Everyone on Haven knew who Sasha's family was or at least that is what she thought but she was not sure. "It has been hard and it is going to take a lot for people to heal from that day." She said to Olivia as she looked over at her. "I know you said that you weren't here that day but I know that you were hurt by what happen also and if you want to talk I am here to listen." She said trying to reach out and be a friend to Olivia thinking everyone needed someone to talk to about that day.

“I am sorry about your parents.” she said, thinking about her own mother. “I lost my mother when I was seven years old. A hard time in a child’s life to loose a parent.” Olivia wiped a single tear away from her eyes before she continued. “My father was my rock. But he could not do everything and I pretty much fell into a depression after the funeral.” she said, looking away. “That is until I met a girl who was going through a similar situation. She’s moved far away though so we never get to talk much. It’s a very hard thing loosing one parent.” she said, looking at Sasha. “I can only imagine what you went through with loosing both.”
Olivia sighed as tears sprang to her eyes as she listened to Sasha talk about her family. “Yes I know that your family died that day and I am truly sorry. I should be the one telling you that if you need someone to talk to I will be here also.” she said, wiping her eyes. “It’s very hard to loose a loved one.” she said, finishing up her little speech that she was giving. Olivia as always brushed her hair out of her face the habit that she had when she was nervous.

Sasha nodded her head as Olivia talked. "I don't know what I would have done with out my sister and then laster Chris. My sister was my rock. I think her and I got through it together. It was harder on her then me." She said deciding to be honest with Olivia. "You see Alexis was the child our parents wanted. I was the mistake. They didn't want any more children after Alexis. After I was born she took care of me when our parents were not there. But it still hurt when they died because no matter what they were our parents and I did love them. But Alexis was great. And then she met Chris and he treated me like a little sister and he took care of with and helped Alexis and I out." She told Olivia as she pulled the blanket around her tighter as the wind started to blow again.
"Thank you and it is heard but I know it is harder on Alexis then it is is me. She lost her husband and the father of her unborn baby. She is so closed off right now. I don't know what to do to help her."She said sadly as she ran a hand through her hair. "I miss Chris I could talk to him about any thing and now he is gone and I really wish he was here now because I really need him."She said sadly as she slid her hand under her blanket and placed it on her still flat belly and thought about the mess she was in and how she was going to tell Mark and Jason.

“I really did not get to know my mother. So I cant really say if she was a good mother or not. I want to think that she was, but I’m not certain.” she said, looking at Sasha sadly as she listened to her talk about her sister and parents. “My friend was in your situation with her parents to.. Well as far as her being a mistake. I always told her not to think that way. There is always a reason that things happen and if whoever made us and this world wanted you here then there will be no stopping it.” she said, “I will tell you the same now.” she shivering realizing now just how cold it really is.
“I know it’s hard and you and your sister will get over this lump.” she said, taking her training as a child worker to practice here. “I’m serious about what I said earlier. If you need someone to talk to it’s not only one sided where I can only talk to you. You can come talk to me too.” she said. “Things always have a way of working themselves out.” she said, smiling. “Even the hardest of times can become better if you just put your mind to it.”

Sasha felt better talking to Olivia. "Thank you Olivia and you are right. I was not a mistake I am here for a reason." She said knowing what Olivia said was true. When she saw Olivia shiver she got up and went over to the cabinet and got out another blanket. "Here Alexis has then here for me and her for when ever we come up here. I promise they are clean and very warm."She said handing her a burgundy flees blanket and then sat back down.
She sighed as she listened to what Olivia said. "I know you are right. I have just never seen my sister like this before and it scars me. She has always been so strong and now I can't even get her to feed her daughter." Sasha said as she thought about six week old Hannah. "Thank you and I will take you up on that if you promise to talk to me if you need someone to talk to." She told Olivia as she thought about telling her what was going on. She had not idea why but she wanted to tell Olivia about Mark, Jason and the baby. She knew she needed someone to talk to but she was scared the it would get out and she could not have that not yet. She needed to tell Mark first.

Olivia glanced over at Sasha who she thought in time could become a really good friend if given the time to get to know her. “Your welcome.” she said, smiling. “Just remember that when ever your down and it could be that piece of advice that brings you back up again. Or that’s what I tell all my friends that come to me for advice.” she said, laughing. She watched Sasha get up and grab her a blanket. “Thank you.” she said, “I did not notice how cold it was out here.” she said, gesturing to her skirt. “I’m used to cold though so it should not bother me.” she wrapped the blanket around her self with a contented sigh. “That is warm, where did you get this.” she said, snuggling into the warmth of the folds.
Olivia listened as Sasha explained about her sister. “That is a problem.” she said, sighing. “The baby is a new born and she lost her husband.” she said, sighing. “that is a definite reason to have post partum depression or something else related.” she said, looking up at Sasha. “It just takes a while. I’m sure she will start feeding the baby again.” she said, not really sure what else to say about that. Then she looked up when Sasha told her to promise about talking to her. “I will come to you. Seeing as your really my only friend here as of right now.” she said, with a ghost of a smile creeping on her face. “I’m glad that I decided to take a brake in studying today.” she said, “Or I would of never came up here and met you.”

Sasha sighed and nodded her head. Feeling better now that she had talked to Olivia. It felt so good to open up to someone and tell them what was going on with her sister her self. She smiled when Olivia asked where she got the blanket from. "I think Alexis bought them on line I am not sure what site thought. And I agree with you. They are warm and so soft."She said snuggling under her blanket as she placed a hand on her still flat belly.
She looked over at Olivia and smiled again. "And you have a friend when you need to talk to someone. And I am glad I came up here today to. I needed to clear my head and I found you and was able to talk about some of the stuff that has been bothering me."She said as she thought about her sister again. "If she does not start to improve soon. I am going to go do Adrian Cordell and talk to him and see if he can't help her. My sister and him use to have a thing when they were younger. The only reason the broke up was because of me. I think he might be able to help her, but I don't want to go to him unless I have to because of what he is going through right now with losing his sister and all." She told Olivia as she thought about what to do to help her sister. She knew what Adina and Alexis has a history and that they were still close. She didn't want to go to him but she didn't see any other chose if Alexis didn't improve soon. She didn't know who else to go to.

Olivia was feeling a lot better in talking to someone about certain things. It’s funny she though that I never really talked to many people about anything but talking about her mother for the first time in a while she had felt really good. She snapped back to attention when she replied about the blankets. “Hmm I should look around for them then.” she said. Olivia had noticed that Sasha was moving her hand around under the blanket around her stomach area but decided not to say anything about it until Sasha had deiced to talk about it because it was not her place. And her and Sasha had not known each other for that long.
Friends; she thought. It sounded like a really good idea. Even if her and Sasha was only just beginning out their friendship it could work out. “It would probably be better to wait to talk to him if you think even if they were seeing each other.” she said, looking at Sasha “Because she might think your just bringing him over to forget about her husband.” she said, really seriously. “But in reality your only bringing in over to help her out.” she said, "but if they are really close he could eventually help out.” she said, smiling.

Sasha sighed and nodded her head. "I just don't know what to do. And I don't think I can help her. She needs more then me right now. I don't know who to go to. We don't have any more family. We are it for each other. Her, Hannah and my baby are all the family I have left." She told Olivia not realizing she had said any thing about being pregnant till it was out of her mouth. She gasped is shock as she realized what she had just said.
"Oh god please don't tell any one. I have not told the father yet." She said to Olivia not sure what to do now. She had not told the father or her boyfriend yet and she was scared. "I just found out for sure yesterday and I don't know what to do." She said sadly as she looked down at her lap and not at Olivia. She was worried that Olivia would think she was a slut or something if she told her what has happen and how she got pregnant and who the father was.

“The only thing that you can do for her now is love her and wait.” she replied, thinking back to her father and how he felt. “My father did the same thing when my mother died, he withdrew into himself and did not really take care of me and my brother and sister.” she said, sadly. “He came out of it in his own time.” she said, hoping to make Sasha feel at least a little better about it. “I kind of already knew about it.” she said, “I wont tell anyone, it’s not my place and I barely know you.”
Olivia watched her getting more and more scared about it. “I don’t even know who the father is.” she said, so how can I tell him. She looked out over the roof sighing to herself. “Now if we can all get our life together after what happened.” she said, sadly. “Then everything will be better. she said, sighing. “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.” she said, “But who is the father?” she asked, looking at Sasha. “And what are you going to name the baby?” she said, getting excited. . “I always love babies, everything about them.” she said, looking over at her and sparkling with excitement.
