Hey Liv, it’s dad. I just got off the phone with Musikk Records and they’re really interested in you. They want you to turn in a demo by next weekend. You can do that, right honey? Call me back and we can talk more about it.
******
Liv, I don’t know if you heard my previous message but you really need to call me. I know you’re probably busy with school right now, but this is your future. This kind of opportunity doesn’t just fall into your lap. Do you understand? Call me when you get the chance.
******
Hi dear, I know I haven’t had much time to call you these days but you really should call your dad. He’s worried about you and...I know he might be a bit overbearing at times but it’s really only because he cares about you. He knows how much music means to you and only wants to help. I hope you’re doing well and I hope you find time during the holidays to come visit. I miss you and send you my love.

(7) missed calls from Pop
Liv doesn’t really know why she’s avoiding it.
This is a dream come true.
A once in a lifetime opportunity.
If you asked her a year ago what she would do if a music label wanted to hear her music, she would probably explode with excitement and shout from the rooftops.
But right now, all she wants to do is dig a deep, deep hole and crawl inside of it.
She wants to hide away from the rest of the world,
close her eyes,
and wrap herself in the darkness.
But every time she closes her eyes,
she isn’t comforted by her own isolation.
In fact, she isn’t alone at all.
Her dad’s voice rings in her ears,
his disappointed face appears in her mind,
and that sinking feeling in her chest returns,
weighing her down like an anchor.
And no matter how hard she tries to swim up and gasp for air,
it pulls and pulls and pulls,
dragging her down with it.
******
When she shows up on his doorstep, he doesn’t ask her any questions.
Instead, he simply steps aside and invites her inside.
She follows him up to his room,
kicks off her shoes,
and crawls into his bed.
And it’s only when they’re enveloped in darkness,
the only sound coming from the ticking of the clock on the wall,
that Noah finally breaks the silence.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Liv simply nestles her face against the crook of his neck,
giving her silence as an answer.
She will tell him later,
about everything,
but right now, she’s too tired to speak.
Her body too drained.
And she knew he would understand.
Noah always does.
So when he wraps his arms around her,
Liv finally closes her eyes.
And this time, she doesn’t hear her dad’s voice in her ears,
she doesn’t see his disappointed face,
or feel that sinking feeling in her chest.
This time, she’s warm.
******
Liv wakes up feeling more rested than she had the past couple of days and as she looks over at the boy sleeping softly beside her, she knows he’s the reason why.
******
She offers him the other end of her earphones before settling into the bus seat.
Noah hasn’t let go of her hand since they stepped out of his house and every so often, he will give it a light squeeze. The pressure always snaps her out of her thoughts and she sends him a grateful smile.
She still isn’t ready.
Talking about it will bring that sinking feeling back in her chest and for now, she wants to get through the day without thinking about her dad or the pressure she has been feeling since his first message.
So instead, Liv rests her head on Noah’s shoulder,
focusing on the warmth of his skin
and the music in her ear.

"I think I’m going to go vegan,” Engel announces.
She pulls out a boxed salad and sets it down in front of her.
“Yeah? When did you decide that?” Yasmina asks, raising a brow. “Because I definitely saw you eat deviled eggs yesterday.”
Engel pouts her lips. “Wait, is that not vegan?”
Isa laughs.
“Engel,” she says. “Vegans don’t eat eggs. They don’t eat any animal products. Totally plant-based. And it sounds fucking shitty if you ask me.”
Engel’s eyes widen as she processes this newfound information and Liv simply shakes her head and stares down at her chipped nails. She begins picking away at the polish, not really having much of an appetite.
After French, she saw two missed calls from her dad and she felt the stress she had been feeling all weekend creep back up. She managed to make her way to the bathroom and find an empty stall, plopping down on the seat while she tried to steady her breaths.
Just two more classes and she can go home.
She can go home and crawl into bed and goto sleep.
Just two more classes.
“Are you alright?” Isa asks, giving her a slight nudge. “You look a little pale.”
Liv quickly feigns a smile and shrugs her shoulders.
“I think I’m catching a cold,” she says smoothly.
Isa wraps an arm around her. “Can you cough on me? Maybe I can get sick before my math exam.”
“I don’t think so,” Liv laughs. “Trust me. You don’t wanna have what I have.”
Isa pouts and takes a big bite from her sandwich.
Ding ding.
Liv lets out a shaky breath before pulling her phone out of her pocket. When she sees Noah’s name on her screen, she feels herself relax.
Noah: :)
Liv is confused by his message but then she looks up and catches him across the schoolyard, sitting on their usual bench with a book on his lap. When their eyes meet, he raises his hands up to his head to give himself bunny ears.
She bites back a smile as she quickly types up a reply.
Liv: You’re such a weirdo. You know that?
She looks up from her phone and watches him read her message, a soft smile on his lips as his fingers move across his screen.
Noah: But I made you smile.
