Chapter 4: A Little Truth, A Little Trust

After Ms. Edwards had left, Olivia fell asleep on the couch. She woke not long afterwards because she heard soft shuffling. Her first thought was Genesis. She rushed down the hall and opened the door to Genesis's room.

Genesis was packing her bags and looked up when Olivia pushed the door open.

"What are you doing?" Olivia asked.

"Packing." Genesis said avoiding her eyes.

Olivia stepped into the room."Why? Talk to me." She said slowly stepping closer to her.

"Because...I-I can't." Genesis said looking to the floor.

Olivia moved even closer."Yes you can. You can talk to me." She pushed.

"You know what I'm like, you haven't hit me or..." She swallowed "You're going to get tired of me, and send me back like everyone else." she blurted out. She turned towards Olivia and looked at her. Her big dark brown eyes bearing into Olivia's and piercing her heart.

"I want you to stay. I want to help you, but you have to let me in. I want to adopt you. I love you sweetie." Olivia said calmly.

Genesis looked at her open mouthed. 'What kind of game is she playing?' she thought. 'And if she's not playing...what does she want from me?' Genesis closed her mouth and stepped away from Olivia.

"I...no one has ever wanted me before." She said so low Olivia almost didn't hear her.

"I want you."Olivia said smiling at her.

"But...last night..."Genesis whispered.

"I think you have alot of things pent up inside of you, and when you're ready I want to hear all of it. I'm not going to give up on you. But I need you to trust me, and talk to me ok?" Olivia said.

She stepped closer to Genesis. And was relieved when she didn't step away. Genesis sat down on the bed.

"You want me? B-But why?You saw what I did. You saw me and you stopped me, and you held me. Why did you do that?" Genesis asked.

"Because that's what people do for the ones they love. I love you, and I will fight for you. No one is ever going to hurt you again." Olivia said lowering herself down beside the girl.

"Oh...maybe you shouldn't. It could be bad for you." Genesis said scooting away.

"Why not? Why do you feel that way?"Olivia said moving closer to her.

"If he finds me, he'll do it again, and hurt you too." Genesis said quietly.

"No. No one is getting near you. I'll protect you. Tell me. Tell me who he is, and what he did." Olivia said softly.

"No one ever did anything to me! Just drop it ok?" Genesis snapped.

"You should know I've been at this for a longtime. I'm just as stubborn as you are. I know a victim when I see one. You can deny it all you want to but you were raped Genesis, and I'm judging by the bruises on your thighs, and all over your body it wasn't that long ago." Olivia said folding her arms across her chest.

She could tell from the girls body language that she struck a nerve.

"N-no. You're wrong. I-I f-fell and...and nothing happened!" Genesis said.

"How long has it been going on?" Olivia pressed on.

She decided she would have to be patient and use the same tactics she uses on other victims.

Genesis looked at her and narrowed her eyes. She didn't understand why Olivia cared so much, why she wouldn't leave her alone? And she got angry but she didn't understand why. She jumped up from the bed."NOTHING HAPPENED!" She shouted, crossing her began pacing back and forth in front of Olivia.

Olivia remained calm and cracked her knuckles. She took a deep breathe, stood up and walked toward Genesis, slowly."What happened to you wasn't your fault. I don't care if that's what he told you. He lied, he threatened you, and he hurt you. Please just tell me." Olivia said placing her hands on Genesis' shoulders.

"FINE! OK! I was...I was r-raped."Genesis shouted wrenching out of Olivia's grasp.

She turned, and ran from the room and out the front door. Olivia went right behind her. Genesis was halfway down the stairs by the time she caught up to her. She was sitting on the stairs crying, knees pulled up to her chest, rocking back and forth. Olivia sat beside her, and pulled her into her lap.

"No. Don't." Genesis said trying to squirm out of her arms.

Olivia held tighter."Yes." Olivia said kissing her forehead.

Olivia held her tighter, and she fell apart then, and wailed in her arms.

Olivia hushed her, and rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"Please. Please just give up." Genesis said pushing against her.

"No." Olivia said shaking her head. "Never."

"We need to do a rape kit. I'm going to take you to the hospital ok?" Olivia said.

"What's a rape kit?" Genesis asked looking up at Olivia.

"It's a way of collecting evidence. So I can catch the bastard who has been hurting you."Olivia said.

"What if I don't want to have one?" Genesis asked looking away from Olivia.

"I'll be with you the whole time sweetie. At least talk about it Genesis." Olivia begged.

"No."Genesis said shaking her head.

Genesis pushed away from Olivia, stood, and shook her head. She was feeling dizzy, and seeing three Olivia's in front of her. She turned, and took a step downstairs but she fainted.

Olivia watched her tumble down the stairs as if in slow motion. She ran to her."Genesis! What's the matter sweetie?" Olivia asked pulling the girl to pulled out her phone and dialed 911."This is detective Olivia Benson. I need a bus. NOW!" She shouted into the phone.

Once they got to the hospital the Drs and nurses worked fast and began clambering Olivia with questions.

"What happened?"

"I-I don't know. She fainted and tumbled down some stairs!" Olivia said trying to keep herself together.

"Are you family?"

"She's my daughter." Olivia said.

She received some strange looks from the nurses. She knew what they were thinking.'But she's black'.

"She's my foster daughter." Olivia bristled.

'Now do your damn job and find out what's wrong with my kid' She thought.

"How old is she?"

"Thirteen."

"Has she been sick?"

"Not since she's been with me."

"Her name Ms...?"

"Benson. Her name is Genesis Craig."

"Date of birth?"

"June 17,1998."

"Ok. Great we can pull her medical records with this information."

"Do a rape kit." Olivia requested.

"Did she say she was raped?"

"Do the kit. Please." Olivia growled.

"Ok Ms. Benson. Now if you'll please go to the waiting room."

Olivia sat in the waiting room thinking about Genesis, and silently praying she was alright.

Twenty minutes later a Dr. approached her.

"Ms. Benson? I'm Dr. Goldman. We did a rape kit. She shows signs of longtime sexual assault. Her most recent was very brutal. I'll spare you the details but there are some major tears. She is extremely malnourished, and covered in bruises."

As much as Olivia wanted to say she knew most everything the Dr. told her she didn't. She stood and moved towards the Dr.

"Where is she? I want to see her. How long ago was the rape?Was there semen?"Olivia inquired.

"About three days ago. No semen. She probably washed it away. She's still out. Resting comfortably. We'll keep her overnight to rehydrate her. And her electrolytes are a little off so I'll have her levels retested in the morning before discharge." Dr. Goldman said.

"So it's too late to give her meds to prevent pregnancy, and STD's. Olivia stated.

"Sorry. Maybe she should've come forward sooner." Dr. Goldman said leaving the room.

His last sentence had her feeling like punching him square in the face. Olivia sat in the chair beside the bed, and held Genesis' hand.

"Please be ok. I'm new to this parenthood thing. And I need you to trust me, and talk to me. You're not a lost cause sweetie. I love you. I'm not giving up on you. Please just give me a chance." Olivia said.

Her only response was the beeping of the machines as she sat there watching Genesis sleep.

Genesis is going to open up to Olivia more :). But there are many more twists, and turns coming their way. Reviews are love :)
