This is kinda a song fic. The song is "Stand in the Rain" by Superchick.
STAND IN THE RAIN
Olivia never slows down. She doesn't know why, but she knows that when she's all alone it feels like it's all coming down.
If she stops thinking, even for a moment, she may slip up. He will see it; any mistake he will see it. She can't let him see it, but he always sees it, so she can't let it happen. If she stops working he'll see it; he will beat her or worse.
She won't turn around. The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down.
She's scared. She stays up almost all night, facing the wall in a frozen position. She sees his shadow lurking in the doorway; if he sees her awake it will begin again. She can't cry. She wants to, she needs too, but she can't. It makes him angry, he says she is weak and calls her a baby. He gets angry all the time, but she can't let him get angry at night; he could wake Rachel, and if she wakes up he beats her, too.
She won't make a sound. She's alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down.
She doesn't speak. She always says the wrong thing, so she just doesn't. She feels so alone. All she has are her fears; they are overpowering.
She wants to be found, but the only way out is through everything she's running from. She wants to give up and lie down.
She wants this to end, but she can't make it stop. The only way to do it would have her taken away. She tried once, she told Dr. Walter; it got her the worst beating of her life. She wishes she could stop, just stop and hide; she can't do that either.
So she stands in the rain, stands her ground. She stands up when it's all crashing down. She stands through the pain; she won't drown, and one day what's lost can be found.
She stands in the rain.
Hope you liked it! Fringe fics are the first ones i ever read but this is my first. I remember when there were only seven pages for all of Fringe K-M and am glad to have finally posted some thing of my own.
Please review because i'm really not sure about this one. Should i just remove it?
