"The topper of this test is Ryan Gold ." As soon aa Olivia heard this her heart started beating faster. The teacher told students to give a big round of applause for Ryan Gold. And teacher asked Olivia that,"Why did you not score well?" As soon as she heard this she was very embarassed and very angry. The teacher asked Olivia, "I don't think you are the topper anymore Do you know where you lacked? Olivia I think you should focus more on your studies." The teacher seemed genuinely Diss

Olivia kept her head down. Looking at her books she was embarassed, tired, disappointed, depressed and full of anxiety. As she she had this internal explosion of emotions,Ryan was observing Olivia and he could understand her emotions.Olivia started to feel chest pain, her heart started pounding faster and faster. She squeezed her chest but hid it by bending over bench. Ryan noticed this happening, so he asked Olivia if she was okay. She answered,"I am perfectly fine. It's just a normal pain." He answered,"A normal pain,really? You really think it is a normal pain. Olivia you are not well,you should go home and take some rest". Olivia said, "I am okay." The bell rang at that time and she immediately ran out of the class in the washroom.

As she went there, her mind was clouded with negative thoughts. She questioned herself in her mind." Why should I live? I am worth nothing. I deserve to die." After pushing these thoughts to the back of her mind, she went outside the washroom and went to terrace. There she tried to commit suicide. As she stepped closer to the edge,Ryan held her hand and pulled her away from the edge. She pulled her out out of his grip and said, "Why are you butting in? Just leave me alone. I don't want live in this world. I don't deserve to live in this world." She started crying. "I am not good at anything. I am not even a topper anymore now.Just let me die." Ryan immediately hugged her with his warm hands and she felt a sense of relief. He hugged her tighter and the whole world seemed to come to a stand still. Ryan immediately kissed her.Their warm lips met each other. Ryan spoke to Olivia in a comforting voice,"I like you Olivia,I want to be your support. I am never going to leave you alone. I am so sorry for letting you go but this time I am not going to leave you. And I will be your support. Please trust me this once."Olivia burst into tears she hugged Ryan tightly and told

"Ryan I don't know why am I like this."

"I don't know why I am diagnosed with this disease?"

"I don't know why I can't sit and study for long hours. "

"I don't know why I am abandoned by my parents? Honestly saying,I am exhausted of pretending that I am fine when I am not. I can't handle this anymore. I am actually very broken inside.I am unable to my job, studies and manage everything alone.I can't manage bills of hospital, house, school and everything. I am so tired and exhausted I just want to relax and sleep for a very long time. I just want to eat something nice. I don't want to go to job,I just want to sleep stress-free at least for one day. And I..."Ryan hugged her tightly and told her it's okay now , he was there. " I am gonna solve every issue in your life.I will manage everything and I will let you do everything you want to c'mon pack your bag and let's get out of the school." She packed her bag and they both went out together.Olivia told that she wanted to sleep first.Ryan took her to her home.

After arriving,Ryan saw that Olivia's house was very tiny.Olivia told Ryan to come to her room and be with her so if something happens to her he will be there. Before, she couldn't sleep because of anxiety and depression but for the first time in what seemed like forever she slept like a baby as she held his hand.Ryan experienced that he was falling for her even more.

The room was still-except for Olivia's rapid breathing. Her fingers clenched the blanket tightly, her forehead glistened with sweat.

"No... No! Please don't leave me-!" she murmured in her sleep, her voice cracking with fear.

Suddenly, she jolted upright, gasping. Her chest rose and fell as if she'd just run miles. Her eyes darted around the dimly lit room until they settled on the faint silhouette sitting beside her.

"Olivia..." came Ryan's gentle voice.

She turned to him, her eyes wide with fear and confusion.

"You're okay. It was just a dream," he whispered, brushing her damp hair away from her face. "I'm right here."

Her lips trembled. "It felt so real, Ryan. You... you left me. I was all alone..."

Ryan leaned closer, wrapping an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into a warm embrace. "I'm not going anywhere," he said softly. "Not today, not tomorrow. I promised, didn't I?"

Olivia buried her face into his chest, her tears soaking into his shirt. "I'm scared," she whispered.

"I know," Ryan murmured, holding her tighter. "But we'll face every nightmare together... even the ones that chase you in your sleep."

Now they both slept beside each other. When Olivia woke up, she was very happy because she had never had good sleep before. Ryan asked Olivia so do you want to eat something nice? C'mon I'll take you somewhere. He took her to a nearby restaurant and Olivia ordered her favourite food.They started talking before the order came and Olivia felt a sensation of pain,her heart started beating faster.

Ryan noticed this and almost immediately Olivia fainted in front of him. He picked her up in his arms and they went to the hospital. The doctor told Ryan"Her condition is very serious,we need to do a surgery immediately, please sign the paper. Due to some complications, her surgery has become risky." Ryan immediately signed the papers as her guardian and they started doing surgery.Ryan was super tensed and worried. After 5 hours, the doctor came out of the operation theatre.Ryan asked about her. The doctor said..........
