Babes I am really glad you all are liking this version of the story. I love reading your reviews!

Maybe I didn't make this clear and I apologize, but Jake didn't send out the recording to the school. I'll explain in a future chapter, Jake sent the video to his best friend, who then sent to a friend, and that's how it got it around. Also, I know Jake was 18 and Olivia was 14 when the incident happened, and there are questions around why he wasn't arrested, that will be answered too.

As always enjoy the chapter and leave your thoughts!

Olivia spent the rest of her Friday afternoon and evening cooped up in her bedroom. She was off from work this weekend and she was going to enjoy it. She stopped by the store to pick up some snacks for her impromptu movie night.

Twenty minutes into watching Love and Basketball, Olivia received a message notification from Facebook. Opening the app on her phone, Olivia went to her messages and saw that it was a message from Fitz.

Fitzgerald Grant: I apologize for earlier. I shouldn't have snapped at you when you were only trying to help. I was just mad.

Olivia could understand where his anger earlier, he had just got jumped, his emotions probably were all over the place. She should have given him his space when he said that he was fine.

Olivia Pope: It's' fine. Are you okay?

Fitzgerald Grant: Yeah, thanks.

Olivia Pope: No problem.

Olivia waited for a follow up message. She wanted to reach back out to him to see if he was okay, but she didn't want him blowing up on her like he did earlier. So, she left it alone. Eventually, she dozed off to sleep.

The next morning, she woke up to a missed Facebook message from Fitz. Olivia is pissed she dozed off before she got a chance to see it.

Fitzgerald Grant: Are you still awake?

Olivia thought about responding, but she didn't want to seem desperate or pressed. She clicked on his profile and read his last post. It read:

Your pride is a hell of a drug, it will cause you to lose the very thing or person you've always dreamed of having.

Olivia's heart felt like it was beating out of her chest. He couldn't have been talking about her. Could he? She's not his dream girl.

"Olivia come get breakfast!" Her mother yelled upstairs pulling Olivia from her thoughts.

Olivia doesn't need to set an alarm, not when her mother's voice is loud enough to wake the dead. Getting out of her bed, she grabbed her robe and threw it on. Her plate was already made when she walked into the dining room.

"Good morning Babygirl." Olivia's father Eli greeted. He had his usual morning paper in one hand, and his cup of coffee in the other.

"Morning Daddy." Olivia walked over to him and hugged him.

"That's all you see." Maya asked as she walked into the dining room with a pitcher of orange juice.

"Morning mom." Olivia walked over to her mother and hugged her.

"Morning Livia, eat quickly because I need you to drive me to Walmart." Maya took a seat at the table.

"Mommy why do I have to drive you?" Olivia complained.

"Because I don't feel like driving myself, besides why do you think your father and I bought you that car. We've always wanted a personal driver." Her parents laughed, but Olivia was still looking for the joke.

"Real funny." Olivia sarcastically replied.

"We're only joking Babygirl." Eli added.

"I'll be ready by one." Maya gave her a look that meant she didn't want to hear anymore protests. "Whatever." Olivia mumbled.

"What you say?"

"I said yes ma'am."

When Olivia made it back to her bedroom, she grabbed her cell phone and saw that she had another message notification from Fitz on Facebook.

Fitzgerald Grant: I feel like a stalker by keep hitting you up on here. Give me your number.

He has some nerve, demanding my number.

Olivia Pope: Is that how you ask?

Fitzgerald Grant: Can I have your number?

Olivia Pope: 1196-6034

Fitzgerald Grant: Cool.

Olivia looked at the time on her cell phone and realized she had a little time before she was put on chauffeur duties. This gave her a chance to go into her closet and search for something to wear to the party.

Since she drives, it doesn't matter if she wears a dress or jeans. It's not like she will be in the cold for long. The grey midi dress Iyana brought up was the first thing to catch Olivia's eyes, and she had the perfect black riding boots, and leather jacket to pair with it.

"Well that was easy." Olivia said she hung her outfit on the back of her bedroom door.

"Olivia you're in luck, Diana is going to Walmart, so I'm gonna ride with her!" Maya yelled upstairs.

"Okay!" Olivia was relieved. She really didn't want to drive her mom to Walmart. That trip would've turned into an all-day thing.

As bad as she didn't want to admit it, Olivia impatiently waited for Fitz to text her. Though she doesn't want to admit it to anybody out loud. Olivia can admit to herself that she does have feelings for Fitz. She remembers how in love he was with her all through middle school. They never were a couple, but they sure as hell acted like it. He would buy her snacks from the store, he would write her cute little notes, she was his in his top friend list on Myspace, he gave her a CD with his favorite love songs, and they even went to their 8th grade dance together. Despite her choosing Jake, Olivia never forgot how Fitz made her felt. She never forgot those feelings she had for him throughout middle school. If she could go back, she would choose Fitz. She wouldn't have gotten all gun-ho on Jake. That is her one regret in life, choosing the wrong guy.

The ringing of her cell phone interrupted her thoughts. Olivia looked at the screen and saw that Iyana was calling her.

"Hey Yana." Olivia greeted.

"Hey Liv, bad news I can't go to the party tonight. I couldn't find a babysitter for Brie." Iyana sighed.

"Aww damn, well guess I won't be going either." Olivia was looking forward to going to see Fitz.

"You can still go Liv. I don't want you to not go because I'm not. Besides Jenna is going so you'll have someone to hang out with." Jenna is an acquaintance of both Olivia and Iyana.

"Alright fine." Olivia still wasn't sure if she was going or not.

"Okay gotta go, Brie's been fussy all morning."

"Kiss her for me and tell her that I love her."

"Okay, love you Liv."

"Love you too."

Olivia ended the call and sat her phone on her bed. It started ringing again and she thought Iyana was calling her back.

"Let me guess you have some gossip for me." Olivia said without screening the call first.

"Hi." Hearing his deep baritone through the line caused Olivia to fall back onto her bed. She was expecting a text from him not a phone call.

"Hi." She replied feeling her heart in her stomach. She hoped he couldn't hear her nervousness.

"Are you busy?"

"No." Shit I answered that too quickly, he probably thinks I was waiting for his call.

"Are you still coming to the party tonight?"

"I'm not sure, Iyana is not coming."

"What if I picked you up, and you hung with me all night, would that change your mind?"

"I think it would."

"Cool, I should be there around 10."

"Okay."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Olivia was going to the party now, and since Iyana wasn't going to be there, Olivia could be with Fitz without hiding.

Fitz

"I swear to God the next time we run into Aaron and his bitch ass crew we're fucking them all up on sight." Marcus angrily said as he paced back and forth in Fitz's living room. A video of Fitz getting jumped was posted on Facebook. He doesn't even know who recorded it. Fitz doesn't care that the video got out, because it shows how weak Aaron and his crew are. The thousands of comments calling Aaron and his crew cowards for jumping Fitz proves it.

The gang Marcus, Bryan, and Xavier, were all chilling in Fitz's living room. They each were pissed at what went down yesterday after school. Aaron and his crew may feel like they've gotten one up on Fitz and his crew, but there is this thing called sweet revenge, and it will be sought. Fitz suffered two black eyes from getting jumped yesterday, a busted lip, and bruised ribs, and there was going to be hell to pay for what they did to him.

"Oh yeah most definitely. I thought ya'll should know that Liv will be with me tonight at the party." Fitz figured now was a good time to tell everyone before she showed up with Olivia.

"You're finally putting your pride to the side. It's about time you did, because I swear I was going to try my luck and see if I could fuck her." Xavier confidently replied.

"You can't pull a girl like her." Fitz mockingly laughed popping Xavier's bubble.

"Olivia is hoe that bitch will hop on any dick that's thrown her way. I am pretty sure I am her type." Xavier said causing everyone in the living room to side eye him. They've all ragged on Olivia, but they've never taken it that far with their vulgarity.

"Aight X you might wanna chill man." Marcus advised.

"Why? Ya'll know I'm telling the truth. That bitch is a hoe and she will be treated and talked about as such." Xavier replied defending himself.

Fitz leaped across the room and gripped Xavier up by his shirt. "Call her another bitch or a hoe and I swear to God I will knock your bitch ass out." Fitz sneered. His bruised ribs felt like it was on fire from his sudden movements, but he didn't care.

Xavier burst out laughing in Fitz's face, "you're defending this bitch now. She saved you and suddenly you've had a coming to Jesus moment. Fitz it's Olivia the hoe ass bitch that clowned you for Jake, and here you are defending her." Xavier was confused. He looked at Marcus and Bryan to back him up.

Fitz saw red after Xavier called Olivia another hoe and bitch, he began raining punches on him showing no mercy. Xavier pushed the right buttons. Fitz had so much frustration pent up inside of him from yesterday's altercation and Xavier's disrespect towards Olivia, that he didn't care that he was in his living room fighting one of his best friends like he was a stranger on the street.

Xavier tackled Fitz onto the floor and the boys began wrestling for dominance. Marcus was the first to try and break up the fight, while Bryan was hesitant.

"Yo ya'll to need to chill." Marcus tried to come in between them to break the fight up.

Fitz and Xavier ignored Marcus, they were too busy trying to kill each other.

"B get off your ass and help me!" Marcus yelled to Bryan.

Bryan reluctantly helped Marcus break Fitz and Xavier up before they killed each other.

"Over that bitch, are you kidding me!" Xavier yelled as he wiped the blood from his lip.

"Get the fuck out of my house!" Fitz bellowed.

"C'mon ya'll chill, we're brothers." Marcus added.

"He's not my fucking brother, he swung on me over a bitch! A bitch that he has been dogging for years, and now suddenly he wants to defend her. That bitch doesn't want you, she's gonna chose the next guy, and leave your stupid ass looking dumb again." Xavier jeered.

Fitz charged after Xavier again, but Marcus stopped him. Fitz is kind of glad Marcus stopped him because his ribs were ablaze with pain. It felt as if he was being stabbed.

"X just go man!" Marcus yelled to Xavier.

"I'm out!" Xavier left out of Fitz's house.

"What the fuck was that?" Marcus asked as he sat on the couch exasperated from what just transpired between his two best friends.

"From here on out I don't want any of you referring to Olivia as a bitch or a hoe." Fitz made clear though he was out of breath.

"Aight man," both Marcus and Bryan agreed.

Bryan left shortly after. He has always favored Xavier over Fitz and Marcus. Fitz expected Bryan to go running behind Xavier. Marcus stayed behind with Fitz. They've been friends longer, so Marcus's loyalty was with Fitz first.

"Either you are in love with that girl or that was some serious pent up frustration. Do you even realize what just happened?"

"I told him to stop calling her out of her name. He brought that shit on himself. Fuck him." Fitz winced.

If Xavier was a real friend, he would've respected Fitz and stopped calling Olivia out of her name when Fitz asked him.

"Bro are you in love with Olivia?" Marcus asked.

"Yes."

"You know people are gonna give you hell, right?"

"I don't care."

"So, you're just gonna take on everybody huh?"

"Whoever has a problem with it can fight me. Olivia will be mine and I dare anybody say anything about it."

"You know I got your back."

"No doubt."

"Are you sure you're gonna be able to make it tonight, you can barely move. You should've went to the hospital." Marcus concernedly noted. He noticed how limited Fitz's mobility was.

"Yeah man I'm good." Fitz lied. He wasn't good, but he wasn't about to miss his boy's party, especially since Aaron and his crew might feel ballsy again and try something. Fitz wanted to be there with his boys' especially since this beef started because of him. Plus, he is sure word got out about him getting jumped and if he doesn't show up tonight people are going to think that he is a punk. Fitz cannot have that, he has worked too hard to build up his reputation, and he refuses to watch it crumble at the hands of some pussies.

"Aight man."

The boys shook hands, and Marcus left. As soon as he left, Raleigh had the nerve to show up. Fitz begrudgingly allowed her inside of his house. It was well below thirty degrees out and here she was dressed in jeans, a thin leather jacket, and Vans. She looked cold. Fitz lives in Uptown and Raleigh lives all the way down in South Philly, she travelled some distance to come to his house.

"What happened to you?" Raleigh asked with wide eyes as she tried to touch Fitz's face.

Fitz moved her hands away that caused him to wince too, "I am sure you've heard by now." It was all over Facebook.

"Are you okay?" She took off her jacket as if this visit was welcomed. Fitz looked her over and he couldn't help but picture her bent over his couch as he pounded her from behind. Her jeans looked painted on, and the shirt she was wearing had her breasts practically spilling out.

"I'm standing here right, what's up? Why are you here?" Fitz limped a little over to the couch to take a seat. It took him a couple of minutes to sit down.

"Well when you told me not to come yesterday I wanted to know why, and then I saw the video on Facebook and I wanted to make sure you were okay." Raleigh explained. She walked over to Fitz and kneeled in front of him. Fitz didn't know what this girl was about to do, and he honestly didn't have the strength to protest.

"Well as you can see I am good." Fitz's tone was dismissive, and he hoped she got the point. He wanted her to leave.

"I've missed you...and him," Raleigh bite her bottom lip as she pulled Fitz's sweat pants down until they were around his ankles. She took his cell phone out of his pocket and laid it on the couch beside him. He may not have missed her, but his dick sure as hell was responding like he did, it was hard and anticipating what was about to happen.

"Show me." If it's one thing Fitz loves, it's getting head. He doesn't care if he's getting it from old lady Mrs. Walker from up the street, or nerdy Raleigh, all that matters is she knows what she is doing.

Raleigh just gave him a smile as she freed his member from his briefs. Fitz watched his dick spring from his briefs and he nodded cockily. He was blessed with at least 8 ½ inches.

"You're so fucking big," Raleigh moaned as she massaged his shaft in her small hands.

"Put it in your mouth." Fitz urged.

"Okay," Raleigh dipped her head and sucked him into her mouth like a vacuum.

Fitz closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the couch. He rested one hand on top of Raleigh's head to guide her, while his other one rested on the couch near his cell phone. She worked her mouth like this was her favorite pastime thing to engage in. She even was paying attention to his balls.

"Fuck." Fitz groaned. He wanted to hump her face so bad, but his bruised ribs said otherwise.

"You like that baby?" Raleigh asked releasing his dick from her mouth with a loud pop.

"Mhm," Fitz lazily smiled.

"I want you to cum in my mouth." She spit on his dick before taking him back into her mouth.

Fitz felt his cell phone vibrate and he tapped it thinking he ended the call, instead he answered it accidently.

"Keep sucking it just like that."

All that could be heard from Raleigh at this point were slurping noises. Fitz felt his orgasm coming and he couldn't wait to bust in her mouth. The closer he came to release the louder his groans became, and the faster Raleigh sucked and licked. She will be added to the top of his list as the best chewy he has ever received.

"I'm about to cum." Fitz throatily whispered.

Raleigh looked up at him and winked, that was Fitz's undoing. He gripped the cushions as he released his seeds all into Raleigh's mouth. She swallowed everything. Fitz was truly impressed. He was too lazy to move. He knew he wouldn't have the strength to pull his sweatpants back up.

From his peripheral, Fitz could see that his cell phone wasn't on the black inactive screen it should've been on, and he assumed he had a text message notification. Picking it up, all the color in his face was gone at the realization that he accidently picked up an incoming call from Olivia. She must've known he picked up the phone, because she ended the call immediately.

"Fuck!" Fitz exclaimed, he wondered how much of what just happened did Olivia hear. This is the last thing Fitz wanted. She will never take him serious now.

"What's wrong?" Raleigh asked. She was still on her knees before him.

"Nothing," Fitz tried to pull his pants up, but it was to painful to bend over. Raleigh had to help him.

"Something is wrong, what happened?" Raleigh stood to her feet and began taking off her clothes.

"What the hell are you doing? You have to go." Fitz tried to get up and it hurt like hell.

"You seem stressed, so I want to be your stress reliever." Raleigh climbed on top of him and Fitz winced from her weight crashing down on me.

"Get off me!" He used all his strength to push her off him, that almost brought him to tears.

"Why are you rejecting me? What's wrong with you?" Raleigh tried to climb back on him.

"Stop trying to get on me, my fucking ribs are bruised and you're making it worse. You have to leave, now!" Fitz wish his ribs weren't bruised or else he would've tossed Raleigh out with his two hands.

"Alright I'm gonna give you some space, but I expect to see you at this party tonight." Raleigh redressed and left Fitz's house.

After she left, Fitz struggled to stand on his feet. He had to go see Olivia in person. They needed to talk, and this conversation needed to happen in person.

Olivia

"He is so fucking disgusting!" Olivia felt like tossing her cell phone across her bedroom.

She can't believe Fitz had the audacity to call her while he was getting oral. He could forget about picking her up for the party. She doesn't want to be anywhere near him. She felt foolish for allowing herself to feel anything for him especially after the way he has been treating her. Olivia should've known he had some type of ulterior motive.

Olivia was about to call Iyana and tell her she was coming over when Fitz intercepted the call. Part of her didn't want to answer the phone, but another part of her wanted to hear what he had to say. Olivia answered.

"What?" Olivia snapped.

"Can you come outside?" He sounded like he was in physical pain.

"For what?" Olivia walked over to her window and saw his car parked in front of her door.

"Just come the fuck outside please." He demanded.

"Fine." Olivia ended the call.

She checked herself out in the mirror and left her bedroom. She was wearing a pair of leggings, a baggy T-shirt, and her hair was messy, but she didn't care. Olivia grabbed her Northface fleece from the closet and left the house. Fitz was sitting in his car and it was running. Olivia didn't plan on going anywhere with him, if he wanted to talk, they can talk outside of her house.

Olivia walked up to the passenger window and placed her hands on her hip. Fitz rolled down the window.

"Get your ass in the car, it's cold as fuck out here." There was annoyance laced in his tone.

Olivia couldn't see past his two black eyes. She saw the video of him getting jumped, and Aaron and his crew sure did some damage.

"Why can't we talk out here?"

Fitz shut off his car and got out. He was only wearing a hoodie. They both were going to freeze. She noticed he limped around his car to get to the pavement where she was standing.

"Look I came over here to – "

"No save it, I don't want your apologies. You have some nerve Fitz! How dare you call me while you're getting a chewy? That was so low, and you know it. I know you have your issues with me because I chose Jake over you, but I don't deserve the way you have been treating me for the past two and a half years. It's real childish and you – "

Olivia was cut off by Fitz crashing his lips against hers. She tried to push him off her, but he held her closer, and continued to kiss her. Eventually, she gave up fighting and she kissed him back. The way he was kissing her nearly knocked the wind from her lungs. Before she knew it, his tongue was pressing into her mouth. The kiss was sloppy, but it was a kiss that was long overdue, so neither cared to perfect it. Olivia hands travelled up into Fitz's hair, while his hands travelled to her lower back. Their bodies fit into one another like magnets. The heat that was radiating off both their bodies was all the warmth they needed.

"I'm sorry." Fitz flinched as he broke the kiss. They both needed the air desperately. Olivia is happy he broke the kiss first because she would've rather kissed him longer, than breathe. Breathing was a non-factor. She always wondered what their first kiss would be like and what she imagined didn't measure up to how it just transpired.

"What?" Olivia was still caught up in the kiss to comprehend what he was saying.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the torture and torment I have caused and brought you over the past 2 ½ years. I was hurt. I was going through so much shit at the time, but you didn't deserve any of the shit I put you through. I was childish. I was immature, and I truly am sorry. I know it's gonna take a lot more than me saying sorry, but it's a start." Fitz held his side as he finished. His face was distorted in pain.

"Do you need to go to the hospital?" Olivia concernedly asked. She appreciated his apology, but she was more concerned about his well being than an apology. He looked like he was in excruciating pain.

"I'm good, my ribs are just bruised."

Olivia carefully wrapped her arms around his waist and looked him square in the eyes.

"I forgive you Fitz. I just need time to sort out my feelings. Can you understand that?" Olivia saw the disappointment in his eyes at hearing that she needed time to sort out her feelings. This didn't mean that she didn't have feelings for him or that she didn't want to pursue a relationship with him, she just didn't want to pretend things were good and peachy just because he apologized. It is going to take much more than an apology.

"I can respect that." Fitz leaned down and pecked her lips.

"You need to go lie down." Olivia advised.

"Only if you'll come with me." Fitz smoothly replied.

"Okay." Olivia felt too bad to tell him no. She knew this wasn't a good idea, she didn't trust herself alone with Fitz.

"Can you drive, my ribs are on fire."

"Yeah I'll drive."

"Cool. You're gonna be mine. You know that right." He was so cocky and sure of himself.

"I hear you Fitz." Olivia laughed.

"You better be listening too."

Sooooo...? Whatcha think, leave your thoughts!
