I was finally starting to feel safe with Olivia's presence when I suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere. I didn't know how to explain it but I knew Mark was in the hospital and coming towards my room. "Olivia-" I began to say, but my voice got caught in my throat as the door swung open and Mark stormed in. My eye's filled will terror and I began to shake.
"Isabella!" he said rushing over to me. Olivia jumped up.
I just looked at him. As he reached towards me I flinched and squeezed my eyes shut.
"Mr. Reyes," Olivia said making her presence known and causing Mark to take a step back.
"It's Mr. Johnson. She has her mother last name. Who the hell are you?" he barked at Olivia. The sound of his voice scared the crap out of me but Olivia stood there strong and held together.
"Mr. Johnson," Olivia began again. "I am Detective Benson, from Manhattan's Special Victims Unit."
"And what the hell are you doing here with my step-daughter?" he snarled.
"911 got a call about a large amount of noise, screaming and banging from your apartment earlier this evening. When police arrived at the scene they found Isabella. SVU works with child victims so they called me."
"Isabella is no child, the klutz probably just fell down the stairs. Who the hell do those new neighbors think they are getting involved in our business? I appreciate your time detective but I can take it from here."
"Actually," Olivia said taking a step closer to Mark. "When we found your daughter she was passed out on a bed, she looks as if she had been beaten pretty badly and raped."
Anger flared in his eyes and his fists clenched, he glared at me. "Isabella." He said in a voice trying to conceal his anger but not doing a very good job. "Who did this to you?" he asked. I knew he wanted me to lie and say I didn't know, but I couldn't even open my mouth to speak.
"Oh don't worry Mr. Johnson." Olivia said stepping in. "I promise you," Olivia began again as the door opened and a taller man with strong features walked in. "my partner, Detective Stabler and I" she said pointing at the man who just walked in. "Will catch this bastard, there was plenty of evidence left for the rape kit so we should be able to get a DNA match fairly soon."
Mark's eye's widened and he looked at me, I knew he would never hit me with two police officers in the room but I was still scared of him.
"Actually, Mr. Johnson," Detective Stabler began. "If you wouldn't mind coming with me down to the police station to answer a few questions it would save all of us a great deal of time."
Mark hesitated for a moment before answering, "Actually I would really like to stay here with Izzy."
"I'm sure you would," I heard Olivia mutter softly under her breath.
"Mr. Johnson," Detective Stabler said stepping right up to Mark. "You can either come down with me willingly or I can slap a pair of handcuffs on you and drag you out of here. Your choice."
"You have got to me kidding me" Mark proclaimed. But Detective Stabler just reached for his handcuffs, which startled Mark even more. "Alright, alright. Isabella, will you be ok until I come back?" I just stared at him with terror laced eyes.
"No need to worry about her, Mark." Olivia said sweetly. "I promise I wont leave her side." And with that Detective Stabler placed a hand on Marks shoulder and led him out of the hospital room. They hadn't been gone for more than thirty seconds when I broke into a round of hysterical sobs. My heart race speed up and I felt like curling up and dying. Olivia came to my side; she hesitated not wanting to startle me. But I grabbed her shirt and pulled her in close and sobbed into her shoulder. She rubbed soothing circles on my back and whispered to me that everything would be ok, but I couldn't calm down.
Finally after about ten minutes I finally had settled into the hospital bed, and I was getting tired.
"Olivia?" I asked timidly.
She looked at me and smiled, "yes?"
"I am tired but I am afraid to sleep." I admitted quietly.
Olivia reached out and squeezed my hand. "I understand why you're scared Izzy, but you are so brave. I promise that you are safe here. Mark is with Elliot at the station and I promise he will not be leaving any time soon."
I shifted slightly in my bed. I hated asking for things but I knew I wouldn't sleep unless I did. "Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked too embarrassed to make eye contact with Olivia.
"I promise I will not leave your side until you tell me its ok." Olivia said
I nodded as I adjusted myself into the pillows and felt into a light sleep.

I stirred awake a little while later and I realized Olivia was on the phone. I didn't want her to know I was awake because I secretly wanted to listen to her end of the conversation. So I just laid in the bed with my eyes closed trying to figure out what was going on.
"That's great news. Thank you so much Melinda." Olivia said into the phone with a huge smile on her face. "I really appreciate you running that so quickly I will tell her as soon as she wakes up." Olivia got quiet she was listening to this Melinda women on the other end. "Thanks, I'm gonna call and see what's going down at the station. Thanks again." Olivia said hanging up the phone and quickly dialing another number. I tried to figure out what was going on, but my pain had gotten worse and I was exhausted to without even realizing it I drifted back to sleep.
