Chapter 7
Olivia relives to when she was 16 years old. Amanda wonders what's going on. Both women don't know what to think or say. Olivia was engaged once when she was 16 years old and her mother wasn't happy about it. Amanda has just gotten engaged and her mother doesn't know that her oldest daughter is getting married.
"Amanda, there's something that you don't know about me and now that you're engaged, I think it's time that you know." Olivia says.
"Liv, what's going on?" Amanda asks.
Olivia prepares to tell Amanda that she was engaged once when she was 16 years old. She doesn't know what to think or say. Her engagement at 16 years old cause friction between her and her mother for many years. They reconnected after Olivia joined SVU.
"My mother was an English professor at Hudson University. When I was 16 years old, I started dating one of her students. He was a senior and he was 21 years old." Olivia says.
"Liv, I didn't know that you were in love. But at 16 to a 21-year-old?" Amanda replies, shocked.
Amanda knows that Olivia has more to the story. She has just learned that Olivia was only 16 years old when she was in love with a college boy.
"He asked me to marry him and I said yes because I wanted to get away from my mother." Olivia says.
"Wow. We both have the same type of mother but your mother isn't here with you and mine's in Atlanta." Amanda says.
Amanda feels that Olivia's story will help her understand what she went through with her mother. She is going to marry a man that had to go to another country to stop sex trafficking when she was pregnant with Jesse.
"She found out, and she told me that she would have him kicked out of school if I didn't stop seeing him and then I told her that I was moving out. She was drunk. She came at me and started screaming at me, telling me that she'll never let anyone else have me. I kicked her hard and then I kicked her again. She went flying across into the room and she slid down to the floor. I have never hurt her before. I ran out because I was afraid." Olivia says.
"Liv, why are you telling me this?" Amanda asks.
"Because you're engaged and you need to know more about what your mother can be like." Olivia says.
Amanda walks out of Olivia's office and she goes back into the squad room. The gang wonders what's going on. Amanda goes to her desk and she picks up the phone to call her father.
"Who are you calling?" Fin asks.
"My father." Amanda replies.
Amanda picks up the phone and she calls her father. The phone is dialing her father's phone number and she's hoping that he'll pick up the phone. Her father picks up the phone and she is glad to hear his voice.
"Hello?" Tony Rollins asks.
"Daddy, it's me." Amanda responds.
Amanda is happy to be talking to her father on the phone. She needs to talk to her father about something. She has to tell him about her talk with Liv.
"Hey! Amanda, I'm happy you called." Tony says.
"Can you come to SVU? Liv needs to talk to you about something." Amanda replies.
Tony wonders why Olivia wants to talk to him. He doesn't know what to think or say. He has been through a lot over the years.
"Yeah, I'll come. I'm leaving now." Tony says.
"All right, Daddy. I'll see you in a few minutes. I love you." Amanda says.
"I love you, too. Bye." Tony says.
"Bye." Amanda says.
