I know these past few chapters have been fairly short and I promise they won't stay like that forever. Thank you so so so much for reviewing and if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Especially thanks to Gigi Barros & Cfhonan! You guys rock!

Olivia could hear words around her. She could hear familiar voices and she tried desperately to open her eyes but her eyelids were just too heavy.

"Olivia," a voice that Olivia recognized was trying to get her to speak, "Olivia it's David."

She tried to form words to let him know that she could hear him but nothing came out. She tried again, "David."

She then felt a strong hand squeeze on to hers, "Olivia try and open your eyes."

Olivia tried again to open her eyes. They felt heavy but she managed to get them partially open. She blinked and opened them all the way. She looked around and saw that she was in a hospital bed and David was in a bed close to her.

"What happened?"

"Olivia," David said as he squeezed her hand, "You have a concussion. What did James do to you? Why did you go back in there?"

Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes. She thought back to being in the basement. She saw James coming at her and flinging her against the concrete wall. She recalled hitting her head. "I'm sorry," her voice was barely above a whisper.

"What did he do to you?"

"I was trying to get him to put his gun down and he.. he threw me against the wall."

David let out a sigh, "Why did you go back in there?"

"I didn't want him to kill himself," Olivia sniffed, "I wanted him to come out alive. He's your brother and if he had gotten killed..."

"Stop Olivia," David said as he let go of her hand, "You need to rest up. The doctor said your head will hurt for awhile but you should be okay."

"What about you?" Olivia questioned remembering that he had gotten shot twice.

"I'll be fine." David leaned over as best he could over the bedside rail that was keeping the two separate. He gave Olivia a gentle kiss on the cheek before they both went to sleep.

A few hours later David had woken up to a nurse who had came to check on his wounds. He had gotten his bandages changed and was too uncomfortable to go back to sleep. He looked over and stared at Olivia. In his eyes she had no flaw. She was beautiful, inside and out. He just wished she wouldn't have gone back into that building. He felt like it was all his fault that she had gotten hurt. He should have known that James would be like this one day. He had all these things he wanted to tell Olivia and he feared that she would never forgive him.

Olivia was beginning to wake up while David was watching a game on TV. "How did you sleep?"

"Pretty good," Olivia said, "How about you?"

"Pretty good."

"I want you to know something Olivia," David said positioning his body to face her, "I'm nothing like my brother."

For years now when Olivia was talking to victims about their fathers she had told them that she was nothing like her father. She never thought she would meet somebody who understood what it felt like. Her eyes started to swell up with tears, "James..."

"I mean it. I'm nothing like him."

"I know," Olivia said wiping the tear before it fell, "I know because I'm nothing like my father."

David had a confused look on his face. This was the first time he had heard anything about a father figure from Olivia, "What do you mean?"

"My mother was raped," Olivia said, "I'm the product of a rape. I'm nothing like my father."

"Liv," David said quietly, "I'm sorry."

"I don't like people feeling sorry for me," Olivia chuckled. David knew that she wasn't quite that comfortable yet with him to completely let her walls down. He was just happy she let them down at all.

"Your captain came by earlier while you were asleep," David said changing the subject, "He said he just came to make sure you were okay and I told him I would have you call him when you woke up."

"I'll call him later," Olivia smiled, "I'd like to spend some time with my amazing roommate."

David and Olivia both smiled at each other. Olivia was more than happy that David was okay and David was equally happy that Olivia was okay. He knew that their relationship could move forward after this huge step.
