Thanks for all the reviews! And I am sorry this chapter is so short and ends abruptly, but I didn't want to wait too long to update after that cliffhanger! The next chapter will be much longer and will hopefully be up soon.

Elliott awakens to find the spot beside him empty. Turning his head to the right, he sees it is only three in the morning. He notices her side of the bed is cold meaning she has been gone for more than a few minutes. This can't be good. Elliott jumps out from the covers and immediately heads to his bathroom.

"Liv? You in there?"

Come on Liv, just answer.

"I'm coming in Olivia"

Elliott finds the door is unlocked so he gently pushes it open. Olivia sits on the floor by the tub, the bottom of her shorts pushed up. Blood is everywhere. She has several wounds, but none as troubling as the one on the inside of her right thigh. The cut gapes open and is bleeding freely.

"Oh Liv." He says softly.

He walks over to her and tries to wake her up, but her eyes remain closed. Dammit! Elliott immediately runs to the phone and dials 911.;

Darkness.

It surrounds her. Then she hears something. It's Elliott.

"You're awake. Thank God you are okay!"

She flinches as she attempts to open her eyes and it takes a moment for her to adjust to the brightness of the lights. Am I in a hospital? The last thing she remembers is going to sleep in Elliott's bed.

"El?" she says his name as if it were a question.

"Yeah Liv?"

"Why are we in a hospital?" Olivia looks to Elliott for an answer. He looks terrible. His eyes are surrounded by dark shadows and he looks to have been crying. What happened?

Elliott takes a deep breath before beginning.

"Liv, you tried to", his voice wavers, "kill yourself."

All of a sudden the events of the previous night flood Olivia's mind.

"No, no. El, I wasn't trying to kill myself. I just needed to get rid of him. I was so scared of you thinking I was weak so I didn't tell you I get nightmares. Last night, it was bad. He was everywhere. His voice, his smell, and one cut wasn't enough."

"Olivia," He uses her full name to get her attention, "the last thing you are is weak. Stubborn? Yes. Determined? Absolutely. But you have never been and will never be weak."

That's when the floodgates open and Olivia begins to cry.

"If I am not weak, why did he rape me?"

"You know that there was nothing you could do Liv. He's a monster…"

"No El, listen! Lew…." she stumbles on his name, "he gets off on raping those who are weak. If I was strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to."

"But I wasn't" she adds quietly.
