Mercy Hospital

One week later

The doctor walked into Samantha's hospital room to see Olivia laying in the hospital bed with samantha snuggled up beside her fast asleep. "Ms. Benson," Olivia turned to the doctor who was holding Samantha's file, thinking the worst Olivia stomach knotted up "Omg, is something wrong with her!" the doctor smirked " No, she is perfectly fine no need to worry you can take her home today if you would like." "oh, thank goodness. well thank you for taking care of her." the doctor simply nodded and left the room. "Am I ok?" Samantha asked looking up at Olivia with her big brown eyes, stunned that she woke up without her even noticing Olivia said "Of course your ok..are you in pain at all?" "good...and no I heard you ask the doctor if I was ok but couldn't hear her answer," "Ok, well lets get ready to go," Samantha stared at Olivia with fear in her face. Olivia, who doesn't always panic so easy, stared into the girls eyes knowing that something was terribly wrong. "Hey Samantha whats the matter we don't have to leave if you are to scared to," Samantha then gave Olivia a confused look "what do you mean "we" you can't take me with you," "of course I can your my daughter," "No, I won't let you Robert said if I ever told on him he would kill me and my new family," Olivia filled with anger ' Robert already ruined her life enough he can't ruin it anymore,I won't let him'. "sweetie he is in custody he can't hurt us ok sweetie he won't I promise," Samantha's eyes filled with tears. Olivia pulled Samantha into a hug and let her sob into her sweatshirt."Hey, look at me," Olivia said picking up her chin and looking into her eyes "he can never hurt you ok," "ok,"

Olivia's car

Samantha was trying to hide the fact that she was terrified of being in a car .Olivia turned to see Samantha tightly gripping the arm rest; Olivia rested her hand on top of Samantha's which made her quickly pull away and scream. Olivia stared at Samantha who was now breathing very deeply and staring at her . Pulled the car over and walked over to Samantha's side of the car and opened the door as soon as it opened Samantha quickly got out and stood behind Olivia as if Olivia could protect her from the memory that arose whenever she entered a looked into Samantha's eyes seeing the fear fulfill them. "So,is this your house," Samantha said trying to change to subject. "uh..yeah right up the stairs,"

Olivia's apartment

Samantha stopped at the door of the apartment staring into what lied inside."What is it sweetie?" Olivia said with concern filling her voice."It's just that it's so pretty," Olivia laughed at the thought of her apartment being pretty she was barely home because she never had anyone to go home said down on the couch and took a deep breath. "So, you gonna tell..." before Olivia could finish her sentence Samantha said "what about school? Can I still go to the same school its right down the block from your precinct." Olivia looked at the girl knowing she was trying to change the subject."Of course! but I'll have to drive you," fear filled Samantha's face."o..ok,"Olivia sat beside Samantha on the couch and grabbed Samantha's hand in hers "What did Robert do to you in a car?" "He told me not to tell" Olivia's mind filled with the worst thoughts possible "Samantha sweetie did he rape you in his car?" tears fell down Samantha's cheek "H..He tryed to b..b..but I uh.. stopped him."

Olivia felt the tears sting her eyes. "well he won't be able to hurt you anymore," Samantha lied her head on Olivia's shoulder shortly followed by her falling asleep snuggle into Olivia's comforting embrace.
