Disclaimer: Cómosiempre, I don't own anything. Quétriste.
A/N: This was inspired by a line in the song "Broken Wing" by Thousand Foot Krutch. It says, "When I lie awake, I wish I could take it all away". As with most things, I thought of Bolivia (Lol, Mila). I think it fits nicely post-"The Cure". Spoilers. R and R!
Peter Bishop couldn't sleep. His thoughts were consumed with her. Olivia. Everything she had told him over the course of the day-- her birthday, no less—weighed heavily on his mind.
He knew, from their very first meeting, she was hurting. With the whole John thing, this was obvious. And that had bothered him by itself.
But now, there was more. She was scared. Peter sure would like to put a few bullets in that stepfather of hers himself.
Olivia didn't deserve this, any of it. She didn't deserve to be betrayed by the man she loved, have him die in her arms, and still be thinking about him. She didn't deserve to be scared on her birthday by a bad man who only wanted her to remember he was out there, and that he knew where she was. She didn't deserve to be working out of a basement lab at Harvard with some total whack-job, investigating events that were not only horrifying. But shouldn't even be possible. She didn't deserve the son of previously mentioned whack-job.
Or, rather, he didn't deserve her.
No, she deserved much better than the crap life was giving her.
And as he lie awake, Peter wished he could somehow take it all away.
A/N: Yayyy! I love it. But I am fairly sure I should have, yes? Anyway, the important question is, Did you? Why do you not be so kind and tell me in a lovely review? It would be much appreciated.
