So I just watched Easy A and looked on Fanfiction to see if there were any good fics about Olive and Todd. There were, but there were only 8 stories and like 4 were about Olive and Todd. It got me thinking, and I really didn't like how they dealt with the whole Anson/Olive scene. The guy was a total douche! He was taking it way too far in my opinion on trying to force himself on Olive. So, this is how I feel it should have gone. And since there are very few stories concerning this movie, probably no one will read it, but at least I will get to write it. Read on!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the movie Easy A, the characters, or anything that could, or might be, or is, affiliated with it.
Chapter 1
Cliched White Knight
Todd threw the bag of garbage into the dumpster with a little more force than necessary. He was glad his shift was over because he wasn't sure how much more of work he could take tonight. First, he couldn't believe that Olive went out with Anson. Doesn't she know what kind of guy he is. I know how he treats women and it's not okay. Todd shook the thoughts from his head. Olive wasn't the typical girl, she wouldn't fall for his crap and she would put a stop to it if he got out of hand with her. He hoped. He was still shaking his head as he walked across the parking lot to his car. He stopped when he heard shuffling. Great, what a way to end my night. A fight in the parking lot. Todd sighed and turned as he prepared himself to break up a fight. His eyes widened as he saw what was really going on.
Olive couldn't believe this. Anson really thought she was having sex with people for money. Granted, he probably wasn't the only one who thought that, but still. She tried to explain to him that everything was a lie, that she was still a virgin and not a prostitute and she would not be sleeping with him in exchange for 200 dollars to Home Depot. He wasn't getting it and she was starting to freak out.
"Just take me home, Anson."
"No way. Not until I get what I payed for." He grabbed Olive once again as he said this and she pushed against his shoulders as hard as she could, but he was a lot stronger than she was and held on to her.
"I haven't slept with anyone. What part of that do you not understand? I just said it so they wouldn't be treated like outcasts anymore. All those guys wanted was a little popularity so I lied to everyone and said I slept with them. I never did. Then other guys started coming to me and offering me gift cards to lie about it for them too. To lie, Anson. Not actually do it. Got it? If you don't want to take me home, fine, let me go and I'll walk."
Anson didn't pay any attention to what she said and when she tried to pull away again he shoved her against his car. Olive, not expecting it stumbled and fell to the pavement. Now she was scared. She decided she would run back into the restaurant and just call someone for a ride home. Or maybe she could convince Todd to take her home. Olive went to get up and Anson shoved her back down and grabbed her hair. He tried to open his car door and put her inside so she opened her mouth to scream and he slapped his hand over her mouth and put his face right in hers.
"I didn't waste my time tonight just to get nothing out of this. You don't want the gift card? Fine. I'm still going to get something in exchange for my valuable time. So shut up and get in the car. Now."
Olive couldn't speak with his hand over her mouth but she started to cry and shook her head no. Anson didn't care and continued trying to shove her into the car. Olive kicked out and tried to hit, punch and scratch him. Whatever it took to get away from him. Anson reared back and hit Olive with his other hand and caused her head to hit the side of his car. Olive continued trying to struggle. She knew that it would be all over if she got in that car. Olive knew if Anson got what he wanted no one would believe anything she had to say about it. She had soiled her own reputation so badly, that everyone would believe Anson over her. Her only option was to fight with everything she had to get away. So she kicked him again and again. Finally, Anson just grabbed the side of her head with both hands and as she drew in a breath to scream he slammed her head off the side of the car and started putting her in the car. The black was starting to edge into Olive's vision and she felt herself going lax and Anson putting her in the car. She knew she should fight, but she didn't have anything left and it was a struggle just to keep her eyes open.
Todd took in the scene in a matter of seconds. Anson was trying to put Olive in his car and it looked like Olive wasn't even moving. Blocking out the possibilities of what Anson could have done to Olive or if she was hurt or worse, Todd charged him and tackled him away from her. He and Anson struggled and Todd didn't know what he would do even if he managed to pin Anson. But he just kept trying to get the better of Anson. Todd just about had Anson pinned when he heard a moan and turned to check on Olive and Anson right hooked him hard enough to just about knock him out. Anson jumped up pushed Olive the rest of the way out of his car and took off, squealing his tires as he sped out of the parking lot. Todd shook his head to clear it and groaned as he pushed himself up. He sprinted to Olive and knelt down next to her. With one hand he brushed her hair back from her face and gently shook her shoulder with the other.
"Olive? Can you hear me? Come on, wake up." Todd was worried and was pulling his phone out to call 911 when Olive groaned and her eyes fluttered open. He forgot about his phone and decided he would just take her to the hospital himself. She was awake and he could probably get her there faster anyway. He was just glad that she was looking at him.
"Hey. Take it easy, I'm going to take you to the hospital okay?"
"No. Please don't. I'm fine and I don't want to go there. Please Todd." He saw that she was starting to breathe faster and didn't want her to have a panic attack so he just helped her sit up and pulled her into his arms and shushed her, trying to calm her down.
"Okay. It's okay, Olive. I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to. You're okay now, I'm gonna help you into my car okay?"
Olive just nodded and Todd pivoted so he was squatting behind her and put his hands underneath her arms and gently lifted her to her feet. She wavered slightly so he quickly put his arm around her to steady her. He didn't know what to do. He didn't want to take her home like this and she refused to go to the hospital. His parents were out of town so he thought maybe she could come home with him until she decided what her next move would be.
"Olive, listen, my parents are out of town for the weekend and I have my whole house to myself. If you want to come home with me until you calm down and decide what you are going to do next , you are more than welcome. But it's up to you."
"Y-Yeah, I'll do that. I can, can tell my parents I'm spending the night at Rhi's. Thank you so much Todd. For everything, for for-"
"Hey, shh. It's okay. Let's just get you cleaned up okay?"
Todd gently led her to his car and helped her into the passenger side and buckled her seat belt for her. He was just sliding into the driver's side when he realized that Olive was silently sobbing and her hands were shaking as she tried to text her mom. Without a word, Todd grabbed her phone, sent out a text to her mom and set the phone in the cup holder. He turned Olive's face toward his own and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Everything is going to be fine, Olive. I promise." Olive bit her lip and nodded her head as she tried to stop crying. Todd kissed her forehead gently and settled himself in his seat and started the car.
