Waking up late had its effects. You might not be served breakfast, or you might be given more work. Or, the boy who was your best friend and had left over half a year ago returned.
Olivia woke up late, not expecting to have slept so much. Light poured in from the dirty window, and she was sitting on the edge of her bed. She stared at her feet, not really thinking but not wanting to get up. After she'd spent too long sitting there, she got up and headed to the shower. It was cold, like always. But there were way more benefits to having a cold shower rather than a hot one. Even if you hadn't had a hot shower in years...years.... She stared at the shower wall, her mind wandering to different thoughts. Thoughts of her old life. Thoughts of Damian. She quickly shook her head. She hadn't allowed herself to let her mind drift there for half a year, and she wouldn't allow it to start happening now.
Oliva quickly found clothes and dressed in what she needed for the day; jeans and a black tanktop with her leather jacket over it. She pulled up her hair into a ponytail and tied it with a piece of fabric. Looking into the mirror, she saw how worn down and tired she was. Liv picked up the necklace she always wore and put it on, tucking it under her shirt. She picked up the photo of her, her brother, and her father she kept tucked in the side of the mirror and gave it a kiss before walking out. She didn't bother with breakfast; she didn't have the stomach for it today.
Liv headed over to the medical wing, which wasn't too far away. She was surprised to find that Katie and her mother weren't there. Perhaps they were late too, and it was just going to be a late day?
She began scrubbing her hands clean, even though she had just taken a shower. She needed to be ready to work.
"Where are they...," she muttered under her breath, not expecting a response. Yet she was given one by a fellow nurse.
"Haven't you heard, girl? Damian Novak is back."
Liv's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes dilated. A confused look appeared upon her face. "Damian..." she trailed off.
"Yes, Damian is back," the woman said, obviously annoyed at having to repeat herself.
"W-Well where are Kaitlyn and Amelia?" she quickly followed.
"They tried to go see him at the Cell Block, but I doubt-"
Before the woman could finish, Liv was out of there and rushing towards the Cell Block. Damian...no word from him, and all of the sudden he was back? Was his father back too, then?
She found herself now running, unbelieving that this was the day Damian had decided to come back. She soon saw the two Novaks, not being permitted in.
"Kaitlyn," she spoke out, not quite sure how to continue. She just knew two things; she needed to be there for her best friend, and she needed to tell-off Damian Novak.
