Chapter 10: Fools for love

Olivia quickly but quietly pulled on some jeans and a sweater. She scribbled down a note and set it on the night stand just in case Patrick woke up and she wasn't there. She pulled on her shoes and ran out of the door and down the street. When she got to you designated place she crept slowly around the building into the alley Isaiah told her she was. She looked behind her to make sure no one saw her. Olivia heard struggling noises from behind one of the dumpsters and ran towards it. When she got there she saw three guys standing on another guy with guns pointed at him. Olivia saw that it was Isaiah and ran to try to save him. "NO don't!!"

The guys suddenly turned around with their guns pointed at her. Olivia held her hands up in defense and said, "Ok, just please…put the guns down. I-"

"You what, Olivia?" the all too familiar voice said in her ear from behind her.

Olivia slowly turned around and came face to face with Blake Winters. "Blake" she gasped and before she could get a word out, he had her wrists in vice grips and was backing her against a building. While this was happening the guys surround Isaiah began kicking and punching him. He tried his best to block any blows to his face.

Olivia thought she heard a buzzing noise coming from her pocket but she was unable to check it. Blake began punching her in her stomach. She doubled over in pain gasping for air until eventually she blacked out.

It was 4:30 in the morning when Patrick's cell went off. He reached blindly for it on his nightstand. When he thought he had his phone in his hand he pick it up and held it to his ear. "Hello?" he mumbled groggily. He opened his eye and realized he was holding the remote control to the television and set it down. He looked around for his phone and answered. "Hello"

All he heard was grunts and rustling in the background. He pulled the phone away for a minute to see who it was calling him. The number displayed on the phone was Liv's. He quickly place the phone back up to his ear and yelled, "Liv?...Olivia, babe pick up. You acciden-"

He paused when he heard a horrific scream. He began panicking a little bit and fell out of the bed trying to put his pants on. "Olivia!" He looked around to see if he could find anything to let him know where she was. He noticed a piece of paper with a kiss print on the bottom of it

Pat,

Hey baby, I had to go take care of an emergency. If you need anything just call me. I'll be at school in the pool if you want to stop bye. Remember I love you.

,Liv

Patrick furrowed his brows. There shouldn't have been anything there that would require that horrifying shriek he just heard. He pulled on the rest of his clothing and set out to make sure Olivia was ok.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In the alley Blake was still punching on Olivia like a punching bag. When he saw she wasn't moving he began undoing her clothing. He heard Isaiah screaming for him to stop, but he was too into her to care about anything else. Just when he was about to start on his clothes he felt himself being literally lifted off the ground and slammed into the brick building.

All of the guys surrounding Isaiah turned around and saw the larger guy slamming Blake into the building. One of guys ran towards Patrick and tried to throw himself on him but ended up knocked down on the ground. Blake had been knocked unconscious but the time Patrick pushed him down. He turned to the other guys cocked his eyebrow, "Ok, who's next?" they all look at each other and scattered off in different directions.

Once Patrick was sure he had scared them off he ran over to Olivia and knelt down by her. He had to take her to a hospital and quickly. He picked up his and was ready to call the cops when Olivia gained consciousness. "Pat," she gasped out and immediately tried to sit up but Patrick placed a hand on her shoulders, "No, don't try to get up I'm gonna call for help ok?"

Despite the pain she was feeling right now Olivia found a way to sit up, "NO!...don't, I'm ok. See?" She held out her arms to him.

He saw all the bruises and scrapes but didn't see and broken bones. "Ok, but I am taking you to a clinic."

"But-" she tried to protest but Patrick wasn't buying it.

"No, Olivia you are going to a clinic and I don't wanna hear anything else about you not wanting to." He said sincerely but with all the love he had in his heart.

Isaiah was just looking him, jealous that he was able to convince her to go get help and he wasn't. He couldn't believe he didn't think of that the night those bastards attacked her.

However, he was pulled out of his self-pity party by Patrick lending him a hand and helping him up. After Patrick helped him up he turned all his attention back to his main concern. Patrick looked down at her body and just remembered she was naked when he found them. She was now fully clothed and ready to go home. He knew he had to ask her eventually. "Olivia, before I came did he do anything thing…to you? I'm only asking you because you didn't have on any clothes on."

Olivia blushed deeply out of embarrassment, "No."

"Olivia baby you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm not here to judge you."

"No…nothing happened."

Isaiah was seriously getting tired of her denial. "Come off of it Olivia. You know you were raped! Why do you try to pretend it didn't happen?! Just tell him!"

Olivia got wide eyed and yelled, "Isaiah, stop it!!!...please" she began crying.

"I'm sure your lover boy will still love you after you tell him

"Please! Stop! I hate you! I fucking hate you Isaiah!!

Patrick got in Isaiah's face and asked, "Aye, what the hell is wrong with you? Huh? She already feels bad enough. But she had to come out here you save your sorry ass and look where it got her. If she did go out with you, no wonder she doesn't want to be with you anymore. You don't deserve her. I have had enough of you bad mouthing her, and you will not disrespect her or her privacy in front of me. If she wants to tell me I trust her to come to me when she ready." Patrick backed off him and attended back to Olivia. He picked her up and began walking her to a clinic. He turned back around and said, "You should come along to get checked out."

Isaiah followed behind feeling super guilty as they headed towards the nearest clinic.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Clinic

Olivia was the first to get checked out. The nurse called her in and patched her up in a matter of 15 minutes. She made sure that there was there wasn't any internal bleeding or permanent damage. When all was clean, the nurse wrote her up a prescription for painkillers. "Here you are Miss Benson, you're free to go. Remember take two of those every six hours as needed. If you need anything else just give us a call."

Olivia gave her a small nod and took the prescription and walked out of the room to Patrick's waiting arms. Patrick held her in his arms and look down on her at her. "You alright baby?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Can you take me home now?"

"Sure, but maybe we should talk though." He kissed her forehead and asked, "You wanna wait on Isaiah?"

"I think he can manage by himself." She turned and looked at Isaiah sitting down on the bed in the exam room.

"Liv, I think we should wait for him, just to make sure he gets to his hotel room safely."

Olivia huffed and mumbled "Ok."

About 20 minutes later Olivia and Patrick were on their way back home after dropping Isaiah off at his suite. Patrick turned to Olivia and asked, "So, you gonna tell me what happened to you?"

Olivia turned and looked at him. "What do you mean?"

Since they were right in front of their building now, Patrick stop and turned her all the away to him. "Liv, baby, were you raped?"

Olivia dropped her head and began sobbing. "I didn't want it to happen…I tried to figh-"

Patrick took her into a tight hug wrapping his arms around her to protect her. "Shshsh, it's ok sweetie, I'm here I'm not going to let anything happened to you again" Patrick could feel the tears threatening to fall from his own eyes but fought the urge. He loved Olivia to death and hated to see her crying and hurt. He held her in his arms until she stopped crying.

They walked up the stairs together. When they got up to the room Olivia turn to Patrick and said, "I…think I'm going to stay at my place tonight. I just need to be alone." Olivia whispered goodnight and unlocked the door to her apartment and walked in.

Patrick tried to stop her but she closed the door too soon. He rested his head on the doorframe and stare at her closed door hoping she'd change her mind. When he realized she didn't he walked into his apartment and lied in bed staring at the ceiling. He had not been able to sleep so he stayed up all morning thinking about Olivia.

Three hours later Patrick had to get up and go to class. He made sure he showered up before going. He was so nervous about his next exam. Normally Olivia would sat on his stomach and quiz him on it. He knew now he was probably going to fail. As soon as he was done with his shower her got dress, he got his books, and left off for class.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Olivia was sitting in geometry class falling to sleep. She was so tired. She was never one to fall asleep in class. "Miss Benson!"

Olivia sat up in her seat with a quickness. "Yes?"

Her math teacher didn't really like her anyway. "Seemingly, sleeping in my class is more entertain to you what is the area- without looking in the books or your notes-of a trapezoid.

"One half height times base 1 plus base 2"

The teacher looked very frustrated that Olivia was never paying attention but always got every question right. "Correct. Don't go to sleep in my class again. Now, students, for homework do sections ten through twenty-five!"

Olivia was the first to get up. She went to Brad's room and found a sub there instead of him. She slowly made her way into the room and opened up Brad's cabinet and got her gym bag out. She looked back at the lady sitting in Brad's desk and asked, "What happened to Brad?"

The Lady looked up and saw Olivia standing over the desk, "Oh he had to make errands for the rest of the day, but he should be back tomorrow or after school."

"Oh ok." Olivia grabbed Brad's apple off of his desk and began eating it. "So…what's your name?"

"Ms. Diane Parley" she stuck her hand out to Olivia for her to shake. "I think I know your name"

Olivia hopped on the desk and asked, "Oh, really? What is it then?"

"You're Olivia…right."

Olivia started giggling and said, "C'mon there are like what…three or four other girls name Olivia in this school!"

"Ah but Olivia one have been refer as the beautiful Olivia." Ms. Diane teased.

Olivia blushed deeply and hopped back off the desk. She picked up her gym bag and slung it over her shoulder. "Well I guess I better go. Nice meeting you."

Ms. Diane smiled at her and said, "You too sweetheart. Have a nice day."

"You too! Bye"

Olivia made her way to the pool. Her coach told her to get dressed quickly. 2 minutes later Olivia came out with her bathing suit on with a shirt on over it.

"Olivia is there a reason you're wearing a shirt over your suit. You know the policy. You have to take it off. Sorry kiddo."

Olivia looked around and tilted her head to remove the shirt. Immediately she heard the other girls gasp. Olivia rolled her eyes and waited for the coach to give further instructions.

The coach herself was flabbergasted at the bruises, scrapes foot and handprints on her body. "UH, girls take the period to practice on your freestyle laps and back strokes, Olivia come with me."

Some of the girls were still looking at Olivia when they were walking out. The coach took Olivia to her office and told her to have a seat. "Olivia, what's going on?"

"Nothing"

"No, something is going on. You have to tell me-"

"Correction I don't have to tell you anything! And I don't need your help!"

"Ok, Olivia, I have no other choice but to sit you out for the remainder of the season"

Olivia's eyes widened "What?! Coach Mendez I'm the swimmer you got!"

"And I'm will risk it all if anything happens to any of my girls."

"Coach please, I'm fine. I promise."

"Olivia, you really need to tell someone what's going on. Is your dad doing these things to you?"

"No!...I mean no, I don't know where my father is."

"Your mom?"

"Nobody ok? Please just let me deal with this myself." Olivia begged with sad puppy eyes.

Coach Mendez couldn't resist them so she gave Olivia a warning, "I'm letting you off this time, but Olivia next it's no free pass I'm taking this straight to Social."

"Yes ma'am. Thanks you so much" Olivia ran out of the office and jumped straight into the pool.

By the time school was out she and Casey were on their way to Olivia place. Olivia had to help Casey get ready for Anthony's homecoming dance.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

As soon as they got to Olivia's building Olivia dragged Casey up the steps and into her room. Olivia did her makeup and hair and pulled out a beautiful dress from her mom's closet. "Oh my god liv! Are you sure I can borrow this…it's hot!" Casey just held the silk fabric in arms and look at it in the mirror against her body.

Olivia gave her a big smile and mumbled, "Yeah, she'll never know it's gone." Olivia watched for a moment before chuckling, "Case, go put it on…you weirdo!"

Casey laughed and ran to the bathroom. Olivia shook her head and smirked at her friend. About five minutes later Casey came out of the restroom looking like a fairytale princess. Olivia can admit she felt a peg of jealousy toward the hot scarlet. "So…how do I look?"

"You're hot!" Olivia looked her up and checked to make sure there were no loose seams or stains in the dress. When her eyes roamed her friend's body and felt a feeling of inadequateness about her body. But Olivia snapped out of her thoughts when she looked down at Casey's shoes. "Oh shit no!...pull those off!"

"What?! These are the ones that I just bought though!"

"No…Case take them back tomorrow you are so not wearing those with that dress. You look like a dork."

"They were on sale."

"I don't care if they were fifty cent you are not wearing them. C'mon follow me." Olivia led her into her mother's room and began throwing out shoes. It seemed like Serena had a younger looking variety of clothing than she did.

"Wow Liv you mom sure knows how to shop."

Olivia chuckled. She found herself having to constantly having to hide the empty liquor bottles that she came across in her mom's closet. Getting frustrated, Olivia stood up and looked at a particular box at the top shelf of the closet. Olivia attempted to jump to get the box but wasn't able to reach. Casey saw her struggling and stepped in. She got the box down like it was a piece of cake and turned to Olivia with a shit-eating grin on her face.

Olivia rolled her eyes playful and took the box from her. When she opened it she gasped. It was a pair of show that went perfectly with the dress. Olivia hurried up and took them out of the box, "Here put them on and walk around in them a little."

Casey did as she was told and the shoes began to adjust to the soles of her feet. About an hour and a half later there was a knock at her door. Olivia looked through the peephole and saw Anthony's big head in the way.

"Casey…your colossal headed boyfriend his here."

"Liv! He doesn't have a big head and you shouldn't tease him."

Olivia shook her head and opened the door for him. "Whatever."

Anthony came inside and glared at Olivia. "I heard that."

"Good it was meant for you to."

"LIV!" Casey warned from Olivia's room.

Olivia sighed and tried her best not to shoot out anymore jokes about Anthony's head. Olivia looked him up and complimented him. "You look nice."

Anthony got a confident look on his face and responded, "Thanks."

"Yeah yeah don't get too confident, I don't want your head to get any bigger than it already is." Olivia mumbled

When Casey came out of Olivia's room Anthony's nervousness came crashing back down on him. He couldn't speak and she had made him officially tongue tied. "H-hi! w-wow…um you..you look nice." He stuttered trying to control himself, but truly looking at Casey had taken him on a journey of more soothing and sweeter than chocolate could and more delicate than the single red rose that he bore in his right hand for her.

Casey blushed and became slightly nervous herself. She made her way to the door and Anthony. Olivia looked at the two and smiled a sweet and happy smile for both of them. She grabbed her camera off the counter and said, "Ok you two love birds smile for the camera!"

Anthony gave Casey the rose and kissed her pink luscious kiss-me lips. He couldn't help himself. Then he wrapped his arms around Casey's waist as Olivia took pictures of them. Olivia began getting too into it until Anthony announced, "Liv we have to go our limo is waiting"

"Limo!" Olivia calmed herself down and said, "Well you two have fun." She signaled for Casey to call her before they left out the door with linked arms.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

They had been in the limo ten minute and they were already sucking faces. Olivia made sure she put back up makeup in Casey's hand bag. Anthony began kissing Casey down her neck. She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled his mouth to hers. About ten minutes later the pulled up to the holiday inn suites and were escorted into the ballroom.

Anthony led them to the area where they got their pictures taken. They positioned them where Casey's back was again his young toned chest. He nibbled on her ear before the man shot the picture causing Casey show off her beautiful smile.

After that, Anthony led them to the drink table and got her a drink. He introduced her to a couple of his friends and danced the rest of the night. Anthony never felt comfortable around people but Casey brought that side of him out. He was never ashamed with her. In fact he'd never been more proud. They were dancing when Casey pulled away gently and kiss him. "This is really nice but…I have to use the ladies room to freshen up a bit."

"I don't see why because you're perfect." He gave her one of his charming smiles.

"Charm will get you anything you want tonight." Casey winked at him before walking off to the restroom.

Just as soon as she left, they came like vultures. Two guys, that always tormented him in class, walk up to him. He decided to ignore them and walk away. They followed him. "So have you hit that ass yet prissy boy?"

The other guy laughed and exclaim, "See I told you he was gay!"

Anthony had had enough, "I am not gay! As a matter of fact I bet I've gotten more than you! And every ounce of it was good!" he stopped when he heard a gasp from behind him. He turned his body sharply and in a panic, "Casey" he whispered

Before he could explain anything she came up to him and threw the rose back at him, and hurried out to the limo.

"Casey, wait please! Let me explain!" he ran after her. When he caught up with her he grasped her hand to stop her.

Casey shrugged his hands off of her and hissed, "I class I know that now I'm just a good lay to you! Tell me, was I good enough when you were shoving your tongue down my throat?!"

"Casey, please listen to me. It wasn't like that you have to believe me. Alright I just got so frustrated. These guys are always torturing me and teasing me every fucking day! I got tired of it! I'm so sorry I said some things that were just plain dumb to say. I was a jerk and an idiot to let them get the best of me. I'm sorry Casey I'll never let that happen again I swear."

Casey thought about it and wiped the tear from her eye and nodded her head. "Ok, I forgive you, but please…I've been hurt once. Please do hurt me too."

Anthony wrapped his arms around her and held her in the most loving arms he was able to provide. "Shh I'm sorry Casey, please don't cry. You're too beautiful."

Casey smirked over her tears, "Cornball."

"I know I'm a fool for you." Anthony whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too." Casey rested her head on his shoulder as he swayed with the music that was coming from the inside of the suite.
