Chapter 6:

The next day Olivia woke up at 9am. Her eyes fluttered open slowly and she was momentarily confused by her surroundings. Then she remembered the events of the previous day. She and Elliot had moved in together. Me and Elliot. Living together! she thought to herself, getting excited all over again about their new living arrangements.

She turned round so that she was laying on her right side, facing Elliot. She loved watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful and she knew that all of his worries and his anger disappeared when he slept. Her hand gently traced the faint worry lines on his forehead before she decided to head downstairs to make a coffee.

Olivia was still downstairs when Elliot woke up. His eyes opened slowly and he let out a content sigh when he remembered about how he and Olivia lived together. He smiled at this and turned to face her side of the bed, expecting her to still be there. When his eyes met an empty bed he began to panic, thinking that she had backed out of their arrangement. He thought she had ran, like she usually would. Elliot groaned as he pulled on a pair of sweatpants before heading downstairs, slightly blaming himself for her leaving. Elliot you are such an idiot. You pushed her too far. She couldn't handle it and you caused her to run... He thought to himself as he descended the stairs. That's when he heard the music. He cautiously opened the kitchen door and found Olivia dancing around the kitchen, singing to a song on the radio, and only wearing one of his shirts. Olivia clearly hadn't heard him come downstairs so he decided to surprise her. She was leaning over the counter, trying to reach a mug on the top shelf of the cupboard, her hips were swaying to the beat of the music and Elliot could hear her humming quietly. Elliot stepped behind her and wrapped his arms round her waist, causing her to jump.

"I could get used to this" he whispered in her ear before turning her round to face him. "Good morning beautiful"

"Mm. Morning" She sighed as he placed a kiss on the top of her head. She turned to the cupboard once more and tried to reach the mug again, and she failed, again.

"Need help?" Elliot chuckled as he pressed himself against her - trapping her body between him and the counter - and reaching up to get two mugs out.

"I could have got it myself" Olivia groaned when he got them the first time.

"Sure you could." Even though she wasn't facing him she could hear the smirk in his voice. She pressed her hips back slightly, so that they came into contact with his groin and she was slightly surprised to feel that he was hard.

"Someone's happy this morning" She said trying to hold back a laugh but ultimately failing.

"Well, who can blame mme when I live with such a gorgeous woman?" he responded. He stepped back and allowed Olivia to make them two coffees. He sat down at the table and watched as she made her way round the kitchen.. their kitchen. She was singing again and Elliot couldn't help but smile at how happy she was. "Liv I have never seen you this happy" He said as she handed him a mug.

"That's because I have never been this happy before" She sat opposite him and they sat in a comfortable silence while they drank their coffees. After a while their silence was disturbed by a knock at the door. Elliot offered to get it while Olivia washed their mugs.

He made his way to the door and opened only to be shocked by who stood on the other side.

"Kathy?"

"Hi Elliot." the blonde smiled, stepping closer to the door. Elliot looked at her hair, surprised to find that she had dyed it a lighter shade.

"What do you want Kathy?" He asked, already annoyed by the woman

"I want to get back together Elliot. I love you and I should never have.." She stopped talking when Elliot put his hand up a d stepped away from her, signaling that he didn't want to hear it.

"No Kathy. We are not getting back together." he sneered.

"Why Elliot? We are in love." Upon hearing this, Elliot let out a laugh and shook his head. He was clearly amused by her response, but she wasn't. She was serious.

"Because we are not in love and we never have been. Besides I am seeing someone" He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and watched as her face showed every emotion. It wasn't pain or sadness about him dating someone else, if was confusion. He what? How could he already have someone? He must be lying. She thought to herself.

"You are what? Who?" This should trip him up. I bet he didn't expect to be asmed that. Just then Olivia walked into the hall looking down at her phone.

"El, baby who is it..." Her words trailed off when she looked up and saw Elliot's ex-girlfriend at the door. "Kathy?" she asked confused. "What are you doing here?" She looked between Kathy and Elliot looking for an explanation, but she didn't get one.

"Her? You are dating that horrid slut?" Kathy groaned turning towards Elliot again. Elliot's body stiffened at her words. He hated it when people were rude towards Olivia. She didn't deserve it, she was such a nice person, the best person, and she had been through so much.

"Elliot what is going on?" Olivia she insisted, stepping towards them.

"Nothing. Kathy was just leaving" he replied still facing Kathy. Olivia could hear the tension in his voice and knew that it wasn't a good sign.

"Fine." Kathy went to walk away but quickly turned to face Olivia. "You're such a filthy bitch. You just had to take him from me didn't you? We were happy and in love before you came along. I bet you were screwing him when we were still dating." She growled between gritted teeth. "But then again, once a whore always a whore. Right Olivia?" She smirked and then turned away again. Her voice had perked up at her last sentence, and she was sure that she had won that fight. She was so wrong...

Before anyone knew what was happening, Olivia flew towards Kathy and put out her leg, waiting for it to come into contact with Kathy. Her foot connected with the back of Kathy's leg causing her to fall to the ground. Olivia stood over Kathy, using their levels and her stern expression to her advantage.

"Leave. Now" Olivia shouted. Elliot stepped next to her and put a soothing arm around her. She relaxed slightly in his arms, but not enough for her anger to disapeare. Kathy looked up at a very angry Olivia, then looked at Elliot, hoping one last time that he would pick her.

"Elliot, aren't you going to do something? Help me!" She pleaded with him. He just gave her one final look before steering Olivia into the house and locking the door behind them.

Once the door was shut, Olivia escaped his grip and stormed into the kitchen. Elliot sighed and headed upstairs, knowing that she would want some space.

There were so many thoughts and emotions going round in Olivia's head. She knew that Elliot wouldn't do anything to hurt her, physically or mentally, but that didn't stop her from thinking it still. How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me. She thought to herself. Wait what did he do to me? Nothing probably. Oh God, Olivia you are such an idiot. He would never hurt you. Olivia had expected Elliot to follow her, like he usually did but when she turned to face the door he wasn't there. What? Where is he? Maybe he doesn't love me. She sighed and went to go and find him.

When she finally reached their bedroom, the door was slightly open. She opened the door further and looked round the room. Her eyes finally landed on his form sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. He looked tired, small, defeated. His head snapped up when he heard her walk towards him. He sighed and turned away again knowing what was coming.

"You didn't follow me" She stated simply. She was slightly hurt by him not following her and she wanted him to know it. When he didn't respond she repeated her statement. "You didn't follow me"

"No I didn't follow you" He responded without looking up.

"Why didn't you follow me?" She asked him. He could hear the emotion in her voice and knew he had upset her. He wanted to apologise but he couldn't. He was frozen, unable to speak or move. "Elliot, look at me" He finally did and she was relieved for a second. Then he spoke.

"I didn't follow you Olivia. I didn't follow you because I knew you were angry. You still are. I knew that if I followed you that we would argue." He said raising his voice. "Seems like it didn't matter though, we are going to fight anyway. That's why you came up here, right?" He lowered his voice slightly, but the tension didn't leave the room.

"No Elliot. No I didn't come up here to argue. I came up here because I was upset. I found my boyfriend, the man I love, talking to his ex at the door of our house, the house that he had just asked me to move in to. I was called a slut and a bitch and a whore. And all I wanted when we came inside was for you to hold me and tell me that it's not true. I wanted to feel loved. But instead you left me, you came up here to do what? Feel sorry for yourself because you have two women fighting for you? Do you know what I thought when I realised that you were not with me?" She didn't even wait for his response before continuing. "I thought that you had left me. I thought you had decided to go to her. I didn't feel loved, I felt abandoned, and you know more than anyone else how I feel when I think someone has abandoned me." She was shouting at him now. He had never heard this voice and was slightly shocked, but he didn't let that show. As he listened to her words he found himself getting angrier. "Enough people have left me in my life, and I didn't want you to join that list of people"

"Oh you think that I wanted to leave you? That I wanted to come up here and be by myself instead of being downstairs with you? God you are so naive Olivia. You were the one that walked away from me when we came in, you pushed my arm away and walked off without talking and you still expected me to follow you like a puppy? Ugh, not everything is about you Olivia. God, did you even try to end your life last year, or were you just lying?" he shouted as he stood up, towering over her. Olivia's jaw dropped at his last statement and she didn't know what to say. When she did finally speak her voice was quieter than before, she almost seemed calm, but they both knew she was anything but calm.

"How dare you say that. You may know me now and I may have told you about my past but you do not get to accuse me of lying. You do not get to talk to me about when I tried to end it all when you don't know what its like to live like that. And I know that everything is not about me, but as far as I'm concerned this is partly about me. When your ex shows up at our door and then is rude to me like that it does concern me. I thought that we were in a relationship where if something effects you it effects me too. We are dating Elliot. Living together. And you wouldn't even tell me why she was at our door. I thought you trusted me enough to tell me, but you clearly don't." Olivia was overwhelmed by emotion. She didn't know what she was feeling at that moment. Anger? Sadness? Betrayal? She didn't know anymore, all she knew was that she was feeling something.

"I do trust you Olivia. Okay? I do. But you didn't need to know she was here. She is not important to me anymore. Okay?" He shouted at her refusing to lower his voice. "I do trust you" he repeated again.

"Just not enough" Olivia whispered back as more tears flowed down her face. Before anyone could speak she ran out of the room and went downstairs. Elliot knew that with how upset she was now that he would have to comfort her and apologise but she really wouldn't want to be near him now. So once again he stayed upstairs.

After an hour Elliot headed downstairs and went into the living room. He found Olivia curled up in the corner of the couch, underneath a blanket. He could hear her sobbing quietly and he knew he had messed up in a big way. He quietly went and sat next to her and placed a hand on her back, stroking it lightly. She flinched at his touch and looked up at him with a glare. Her eyes were red and fuffy from all the crying but she was still beautiful.

"Liv. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I should have just told you what was going on. I should have stayed with you once Kathy left. I'm sorry" he whispered.

"Why Elliot? Why did you do it? Why did you not tell me anything? You know that I wouldn't judge you, I wouldn't have gotten angry at you" She turned to face him but still didn't let him touch her.

"I don't know. I was scared I guess. I didn't want you to see Kathy and get scared and run. So I didn't tell you. I tried to get her to leave but then you saw her and then she said all that stuff"

"Yeah. She said all that stuff and you didn't deny any of it. You didn't reassure me that non of it was true. I freaked Elliot and all I wanted was you to hold me. I wasn't going to run. I wanted you to hold me, so that I would know that I didn't need to run." He sighed in defeat listening to her words. "And then when I came up to see you, to talk to you about how I felt, you started an argument with me. All the stuff you said was so much worse than anything Kathy could say."

"I know Olivia. I didn't mean any of it. I wasn't thinking. I was just so angry that Kathy had showed up and then we had a fight and I never wanted to fight with you and it all just slipped out."

"You accused me of lying about trying to end my life, El. You thought I had lied, and you told me that it's not all about me and you made it seem like everything was my fault. Kathy showing up, me breaking down, with you not there to help me, and then our stupid little, shitty argument. I feel like everything is my fault and you didn't help that. Your words hurt Elliot, more than anything else has in my life. You want to know why that is? Because I love you so fucking much that it physically hurts me. It hurts so much because I didn't think that I would ever find someone like you, but then I did, and you went and said all of that" She was crying again and at this point decided she would touch him again. She moved her body and hugged his side as tears drenched his clothes. He cradled her in his arms, while whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

"I know Liv. I am so sorry. It will never happen again. I hate myself so much for saying all of that stuff, I wish I could take it back, but I can't and I am sorry for that. I love you so much and I don't want to ever lose you. Please don't stay mad at me. Liv. I am so sorry and I love you so much, just please, please forgive me" He begged her. She pressed her face further into his side.

"We will see." he finally heard her mumble. It wasn't the best outcome but it was progress.
