High School Sweethearts, Chapter Two, Broken and Bruised:

From the end of Chapter One:

"Stay with me, we have a spare room, if I tell my dad the situation, he will understand, and we can see about you staying with us if you decide to press charges, what do you think?" Elliot asked.

"No El, I can't ask your family to do that. I don't want to be a burden to you all." Olivia explained.

"Olivia, you will never be a burden to me, I need to tell you something, but I don't want you to freak out." Elliot said.

"Okay," Olivia agreed, "I love you Olivia, I have known for quite a while, I just didn't want to tell you because you were going through a lot. But I can't hide it anymore, I'm scared I'm going to lose you." Elliot blurted out…

"Elliot, you aren't going to lose me, but you can't love me, you are with Kathy and have been for almost 2 years!" Olivia sighed. Elliot's crystal blue eyes locked with her chocolate brown eyes and she saw something in them she hadn't seen before or she just hadn't noticed it.

"Olivia, I don't love Kathy, she was nice when we first started going out, but after almost a year I realised I wasn't in love with her the way she was with me, the way I am with you." Elliot confessed.

"Elliot, I won't be the other girl, I can't be. You and Kathy are good together, she's beautiful and smart and the head cheerleader. You belong with her not someone like me." Olivia said, "Liv, what are you talking about, you are amazing! You are intelligent, funny and you're beautiful." Elliot said.

"No Elliot, I'm damaged goods" She said as she turned to leave. "Liv, wait!" Elliot said, reaching for her arm, she shrugged him off and walked away.

She walked over to the table she had left all of her things on and grabbed it all and smiled at Alex and Casey. "Sorry guys, not feeling too well, I am gonna leave early. Email me whatever classwork I miss." She said and walked out leaving Casey and Alex very confused.

Elliot sighed as he searched for Olivia's face in the busy cafeteria, he saw Alex, Casey and Fin but no Olivia, he walked over to the gang and sat down, trying to ignore Alex and Casey's glares.

"What did you say to her?" Alex asked. "Nothing, it doesn't matter" Elliot sighed. "Well you said something because she has gone home sick, to her psycho mother!" Casey yelled.

Elliot shot up and grabbed his phone and keys from his bag, "I fucked up guys, I have to get her!" Elliot said, he left the cafeteria and headed for the parking lot where his truck was parked.

On the way he ran into Kathy, "Hey babe, you wanna hang?" She smiled going to kiss his cheek. "Kathy, I need to go to Olivia's maybe later." He said and brushed past her. "Elliot, what the hell I am your girlfriend not her!" She exclaimed.

"We need to talk later Kathy, right now I need to go." He said and rushed to his truck, he got in and headed for Olivia's apartment.

Benson Residence:

Olivia had arrived home a few minutes before Elliot had left, she walked up the steps to her apartment and prayed her mother wasn't home. It was almost 1 so her mother should be at work. Olivia would never understand what high school would hire an abusive alcoholic to teach, but then again all of her mother's hatred and rage was only ever directed at Olivia.

Olivia hadn't even processed what had happened at lunch in the hallway. She walked to her apartment door and unlocked it, she gasped as she saw it was in a worse state than she left it that morning, beer bottles were lying everywhere, there were half used cigarettes all over the coffee table.

"Olivia what the fuck are you doing home this early" Serena slurred. 'Oh, great she's wasted' Olivia thought to herself.

"I got a migraine so I came home early. I'm getting an email with all the work I missed attached, mom why aren't you in work?" Olivia asked. Serena let out a laugh, "They fired me, apparently having a cigarette on school grounds wasn't very ethical" She said, taking a long sip of an already half empty bottle of vodka.

"Mom they wouldn't have fired you over just that?" Olivia said. "I punched the principle after she told me I needed to stop smoking and drinking on school grounds" Serena added.

"Mom have you had anything to eat? Maybe you should slow down, it's only 1pm." Olivia suggested. That was the wrong thing to say.

Serena's normally light blue eyes darkened. "Oh, so you think you can judge me, you little bitch!" Serena snarled, she made her way to stand up but failed, she yelled as she hit her bottle on the coffee table making them both shatter.

"I'm sorry." Olivia whispered. Serena let out a small chuckle, "You're sorry? I never should've kept you, you bastard child!" She yanked herself up off the ground and lunged at Olivia. Olivia was faster and moved away, "Mom please stop!" She begged.

Serena didn't listen and she grabbed a glass shard from the broken coffee table off the floor and charged. Olivia tried to fight her off but she wasn't able to provide enough strength to push her mother off.

The glass shard nicked Olivia's arm and Serena yelled "You look just like him!". She pushed the shard further into Olivia's skin and decided to give her a kick to the knee. Olivia's leg buckled and she ended up tripping forwards. Serena removed the glass from Olivia's arm and moved it up to her neck. Olivia's eyes widened.

"Please stop," She cried. In response, Serena applied more pressure and Olivia yelped, a trickle of blood was now sliding down Olivia's throat. Olivia managed to gather enough strength to kick her mother's leg and she stumbled back. Olivia made a move to run but Serena recovered quick even with all the alcohol in her system.

She dropped the shard and lunged at Olivia, she pushed her into a wall and went to smack her, Olivia ducked and kicked her mother again. Serena fell back, she snarled as she ran towards Olivia and punched her, she hit her again and kicked her, Olivia fell to the floor.

Olivia had her arms wrapped around her head trying to shield herself as much as she could. Serena looked down in disgust and laughed.

"You are pathetic Olivia. Look at yourself!" She yelled as she went for another kick.

Olivia's mind flashed to Elliot, wishing she hadn't walked out. If she had stayed, she would be okay, at least for a few more hours. She knew deep down her mother was getting worse. She had been caught drinking at work, she would snap at tiny things. She saw this coming. "I'm sorry El" She whispered, as she prepared for the kick to her face.

Serena went to hit Olivia again but lost her balance, Olivia took this opportunity to try and stand up, she winced but managed to get herself up on the sofa. She saw her mother steady herself.

Serena marched towards Olivia and went to hit her, but Olivia kicked her leg forward into Serena's knees, she stumbled. Olivia kicked again, she kicked and kicked until Serena was no longer moving. She felt her mom's neck for a pulse, she had one but it was very faint.

Olivia was in so much pain and she was scared. Had she just almost killed her mother? Had her mother just almost killed her? She walked to her room, wincing with every step. She slowly packed a suitcase with essential things. She walked into her bathroom, looked in the mirror and started to cry.

Her lip was split, her neck had a cut that was still bleeding. Her arm had a long shallow cut. She was bloody and bruised. She grabbed her makeup and threw it into her suitcase and called 911, she told them as much as she could before she hung up and made her way to her car.

She walked down the steps thinking about what she was going to do, she couldn't live there anymore, there had been plenty of times where Serena had hit her but this time was different.

She was so in her own thoughts that she didn't see Elliot get out of his truck and rush towards her.

"Liv. Oh my god, what happened? Are you okay? We need to get you to a hospital!" He cried. She stared blankly at him, "I can't do it anymore El, you were right, she was so close to killing me." Olivia sobbed, she fell into Elliot's arms.

"Liv, we have to tell Joe everything, is she still in there?" He asked, Olivia nodded, "She was knocked out when I left, she's hurt pretty bad so I called 911 before leaving." Olivia explained.

"Okay, let's get out of here" He said, he took her suitcase and threw it into his truck, she climbed into the passenger side and curled up into a ball. "Liv, I am taking you to the hospital and then we can talk to my dad at the station, okay?" He asked, she nodded and closed her eyes.

He drove in silence to Mercy General Hospital. She looked over at Olivia as he pulled into the parking lot, she was asleep but it was restless. She was shaking and kept mumbling. "Liv, we're here." He whispered as he gently shook her awake. Olivia looked at him and nodded, her adrenaline had worn off and now she was in a lot more pain than before.

Elliot helped her out of the truck and they headed into the hospital, not realising how much these actions would really change their lives...
