A/N- OLIVIA HAS NOT LOVES HER FOR AWHILE. NEVERTHELESS, IN ORDER FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE HER, SHE HAS TO LET HIM IN TO HER WORLD; WILL SHE LET HIM IN OR NOT? ON THE OTHER HAND, WILL IT TAKE AWHILE?
Here is were my story begins. Olivia was 10 years old taking care of her mother. She did not know what was going on with her mother. Olivia was 10 and clueless. All she knew was that her mother was a drunk and there was nothing she could do about it. She tried everything she could do to help.
When her mother would get drunk she would hit Olivia in the face and beat her. She cooked her food, washed her clothing, and went to school by herself. She was self relented. She wanted love from her mother so bad. She did not want to see her mom suffer like that. It was around Christmas time and she was alone. She had no childhood what so ever. She had grown up responabilties, she did not like. She just wanted to be a normal kid, outside playing hopscotch, and play ball with the neighbor kids.
It was only getting worse and worse. It was Monday time for school; she got off around 1:00 and got up around 4:30 in the morning. First thing she did was check on her mom in the morning and check her when she got home. Then she got down to business and did her homework.
I was May of eighty-four three months before Olivia's birthday, Olivia's mother kept on getting worse and worse. It got to the point were Olivia was missing a lot of school, because all the bruises she had her face and her body.
The school started to get increasingly worried about Olivia, because she was a good student. What she did was go and get her homework, brought it an home, did it, and brought it back. It was finally a week before her birthday, when she fought out about her being born out of rape. She did not know what to do. She would cry herself to sleep every night. She thought she did something wrong and it was her fault. She got very depressed over the week. It finally was her birthday. The only birthday party's she ever had was at school.
The teachers noticed a change in her behavior and mood. Each time they tried to confront her she got all emotional. They suspected abuse but they could not assume without probable cuss. They were too busy to deal with that. The only way is if Olivia brought it to their attention, or if someone had a problem or they saw something, they did not like.
About a month later, the police were called out to the Benson's residence. They were called for a domestic disturbance call from their next-door neighbor. The police came at 2:00 in the morning. "Go get the door bitch!" Serna said in a mean way. She went to the door with tears in her eyes.
"May I help you officers?" she asked.
"Is this the Benson residence?" detective Collins asked.
"Yes, what can I do for you?" she asked
"I got a domestic disturbance call from one of your neighbors." she said.
"Nope, nothing happening here." she said.
"Thank you for your time." she said.
Two months went by before the police were called again. This time they were not so nice as the last time. Olivia was getting increasingly scared as the seconds went on. "Mamm, next time we came out we are arresting you." detective Branch said. "We are also taking your daughter into custody," she said.
She just rolled her eyes at the officers. She slammed the door in their face. Olivia ran upstairs, slammed the door, and locked it behind her. She lied on her bed and wept until her pillow was soaked. She was so tired of being tried, she was tried of her mom hitting her, and she was tried of crying. She was tried of all hate it had in it.
As the days went by, she got increasingly depressed. She even stopped eating; she did not get hardly any sleep. She felt so lost and frightened. She did not know what to do or were to go. She even locked herself in her room. The same thing repeated itself 3 months later; the cops were there again. They walked up to the Benson's residence and kicked the door down.
"Serna Benson you are under arrest for child abuse." she said
"No, mommy!" she screamed. She ran up to the officer and shocked her in the stomach. She grabbed Olivia and just held her." It's okay honey, it's okay," she said. She just held her. Olivia started to cry in her arms. Detective Sierra picked her up and held her. She laid he head on her shoulder. She carried her to her car and took her to the station house.
"What's your name Hun?" she asked. She remained silent." I'm hungry," she said.
"Ok, when is the last time you ate?" detective Sierra asked.
"Not for a week": she said.
"Has your mom been starving you too?" she asked.
"No, I just didn't eat." she said
"Okay, honey let's get you something to eat." she said." Is Del Taco fine?" she asked.
"Yes, anything is fine." she said.
They stopped off at Del Taco, went inside, and ate. Detective Sierra called captain and told him they got something to eat, and they would be there in an hour." We stopped at del taco," she said. They were done and left and went to the station house. They got to the station house in 20 minutes. She took Olivia by the hand and took her into the captain's office.
