Olivia and Alex were in Olivia's room getting ready for date, well Alex was ready waiting for Olivia to pick out an outfit.

"Where are we going?" Olivia huffed still having no idea what to wear holding a shirt.

"It's a surprise." Alex stated, sitting on Liv's twin size bed.

"That doesn't help me decide what to wear."

"It really isn't that big of a deal, I mean do you see what I'm wearing." Alex smirked at Olivia's frustration.

Liv, examined the black form-fitting dress, with her sleeves as wide as her shoulders, and a pair of heels. "Fine," She went to her bureau and grabbed a jean skirt that falls above the knee in the drawer, and a light pink blouse, and headed to the bathroom to get changed, for a moment.

Olivia returned to her room so Alex could tell her what she thought of the outfit. "Nice, I like the skirt though," Alex noticing that it was one of her skirts that she let Olivia borrow.

"Thank you, do want it back?" She looked down at it and looked to Alex.

"No, it looks good on you." She stood up. "You ready?"

"Yeah, let me get my shoes." She quickly trying to race the clock put on her heels that she got shopping one day with Alex. She stood back up and smiled, "Okay." They walked out of Olivia's room to Serena walking in through the front door, "Hey, Mom."

"Alexandra what are you doing here?" Serena doesn't enjoy seeing her students out of class.

"Well, We ran into each other, and we are going to catch a movie, and get some dinner," Olivia quickly responded before Alex could answer, tensing up, not knowing which direction this is situation is going to go.

Serena looked at the girls standing in her livingroom, "Just don't stay out too late."

"Okay, We won't." Olivia took Alex's hand and left the apartment before Serena could change her mind.

They arrived to a port, get on a yacht. Olivia was amazed about being a nice boat bigger than her apart


ment. Olivia stepped into the lounge area where there was a table set for two. She turned to Alex who was a couple of steps behind her.

"I told the movies aren't a date." Alex smiled, and took Olivia's hand to pull her into her embrace.

"You know I think this is going to be a fabulous second date." Olivia brushed Alex's cheek leading her hand to wrap it around Alex's neck.

"You are never going to give this up?"

"Not, a chance." She smiled staring into her eyes.

"I'm starving, let's eat." Alex said breaking their frame. They sat at the table, uncovered the plates, having the same meal that they had at Olivia's birthday dinner. Alex had bottle of wine on the table, she opened it to pour some wine in her glass and headed to Olivia's glass.

"No, thank you, I'm good." Olivia rejected the wine.

"It's no big deal, no one is on this except for us and the driver."

"I can see that but I still don't want it thank you." Olivia's cheeks started blushing.

"Are you okay?" Alex questioned, seeing Olivia starting to look uncomfortable.

"Yeah, excuse me." Olivia stated getting up from the table to the bathroom, pacing back and forth trying to calm herself down, since she felt she almost tweaked on Alex.

Olivia found Alex sitting on the back of the yacht looking up at the sky. Olivia sat down next to Alex. "I'm sorry if made you feel uncomfortable, it really wasn't the intention." Alex apologized to Olivia looking at her.

"It wasn't you." Olivia sighed.

"Wait, I'm confused."

"Okay, I'm going to be totally honest." Olivia started with a shaky voice. "I... My... Well... My mom... Okay." Olivia couldn't find the words to tell Alex about her life, her inner most dark secret.

"Liv, whatever it is I'm sure it is going to be okay." Alex tried to comfort Olivia by taking her hand.

Olivia took a deep breath, "Okay, my mom is an alcoholic, because she was... She was raped almost 18 years ago, and nine months later she had me. She doesn't know how to deal with what happen to her, and it is even harder for her to do it with me sticking around. So she drinks, and takes her frustrations out on me."

"Oh my god, has she ever..." Alex was cut off not knowing what to do about this information that Olivia is giving her.

"No, not ever, yet. But when she is sober sometimes, sometimes I have the hope she is going to be like a real mom, but as soon as she a couple of drinks in her, she is very hurtful, I can never do anything right, she has told me on numberous times that I should have been aborted." Olivia eyes starting watering up. She sighed out a nervous laugh while wiping her eyes, "But I this situation, is partially my fault if I weren't born, she would have been able to grief properly. And that's why I work at the Diner, I work as much as I can to save for a place of my own when I turn eighteen."

"Olivia," Alex started wiping a tear with her thumb, and tucked Olivia's hair behind her ear. Alex lifted Olivia's chin to get eye contact,"I am so sorry, I had no idea." She felt guilty pressuring her into drinking a couple of times over the time she has known her, and getting her to talk about her mom. Her heart sank, that Olivia has gone through things she couldn't imagine.

"Yeah, I try to not talk about it, because..."

"It's not your fault." Alex cut her off not wanting to hear Olivia explain, about her mom that she has not control over. "And, I'm glad you were born." Alex tried to comfort her, with a smile.

Olivia sighed a laugh, "Thanks, oh God, here I am getting all emotional."

"Hey, it's okay we are all human, and I feel grateful that you can open up to me," Alex opened her arms for a hug not knowing if this was a good thing to do to comfort her.

Olivia accepted the invitation. "I'm sorry for ruining this beautiful date."

"Well that's okay it is wasn't our first." Alex smirked, giving into their stalemate. Olivia broke the hug, to look at Alex. "I'm honored for this to be our second date." Olivia smiled sinking back into Alex's embrace. They sat their as they watched the sunset to the night sky and the stars.


Olivia walked back into her apartment at 11:00pm. Serena stood in her bedroom door way in her pajamas and her silk robe. Olivia closed the door jumped at seeing where Serena was standing at.

"Mom, you scared me." Olivia stated putting down her things.

"Where have you been, I said ten,"

"Mom, you just told me not to stay out late."

"Right, not having you come home til eleven." She was walking closer into the livingroom; where Olivia was standing in.

"I'm sorry it won't happen again," she said placing her jacket on the coat hanger.

"It's that girl," Serena stared at her.

"I'm sorry?" Olivia questioned her mother who mumbled.

"Alexandra, it's she is a bad influence on you."

"Mom, I promise you she isn't." Olivia began to plead to have her mother listen to her.

"She is! Look at you, you're coming home late, you're dressing like a whore." Serena pointed out the outfit that was really not that bad, but more revealing than she has ever wear. "I don't want you to be around her."

"But mom," Olivia begged.

"It's final." Serena didn't give Olivia a chance to explain.
