Ok so I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again but please enjoy. Happy Reading!

It was now 12:30 and Meghan couldn't go back to sleep. She decided it would be better to go in the living room rather than just lay there tossing and turning she didn't want to wake Alex or Olivia. It was a miracle she hadn't woken them already. The nightmare was so vivid she sat bolt up and still neither of them stirred. She was now sitting on the couch just thinking. Thinking about Kayley mostly, what was she doing now? Was she awake or sleeping? Did he hurt her tonight after what had happened today? Of course he did anytime anything went wrong, which in his mind was about 98% of the time he took it out on Kayley and her mother. And she considered the police looking into Kayley's injuries a big problem. She eventually fell asleep.

Olivia was roused by her ringing phone. When she got a look at the clock she notice that is was now 2:45.

"Benson" When Alex heard Olivia answer the phone she rolled over and snuggled close to her trying to listen to the conversation. But before she could hear anything Olivia sat up and threw the cover off of herself hanging up the phone.

"What?" Alex question.

"There has been a disturbance at Kayley's residence."

"Do I need to get up?"

"No babe you can sleep." Olivia said as she went to kiss her girlfriend goodnight. Alex settled back into bed as Olivia left the room, but she could sleep. Olivia noticed that Meghan was sleeping on the couch and before she left she covered her up with a blaket.

Meghan sat up as she hear someone at the door. She couldn't see anyone but she still ran to Alex's room. She found Alex there who sat up.

"What's wrong?" Alex asked when she saw that Meghan was trembling.

"I heard someone at the door."

"That was just Liv leaving."

"Oh." Meghan said as her fear subsided.

"Come on. Come get in bed with me."

Meghan did as she was told and she let Alex hold her close. It felt good to be held close and comforted, not abused. Eventually both women fell asleep.

Alex and Meghan were both awaken by the sound of Alex's phone. Meghan got up to go to the restroom as Alex answered the phone.

"Cabot."

"Hey it's Liv."

"Liv? Where are you calling from?"

"The hospital, I wasn't getting a signal."

"Oh. Well What's going on?"

"It's bad Alex. Linda is dead and Kayley is in surgery. Doc says if she makes it she will be in a coma for at least a couple days."

Alex was silent as Meghan came out of the bathroom.

"I'm going to have some breakfast." Meghan said exiting the room.

"What should I tell Meghan?"

"Well don't tell her anything right now. Just get her to that appointment this morning and get her enrolled in school. Then bring her to the precinct."

"Ok…" there was silence on both ends of the phone. "Hey liv…"

"Yeah?" She answered trying to steady her voice.

"I love you."

"I love you too, baby." And Olivia hung up the phone.

Alex got out of bed and went to join Meghan in the kitchen. She saw her niece's application on the counter and started reviewing it. Meghan had not actually filled it out.

"Meghan why didn't you fill this out?"

"Because I didn't want to."

"Ok well fine. I'll fill it out for you."

"No!" Meghan yelled and Alex glared at her. "Sorry but can't I please just go back to my old school?"

"Meghan we already talked about this. A new start will be good it will help you move on and put all of this behind you."

Meghan just sat there staring at her aunt. She really wanted to go back to her old school back to Kayley.

"Meghan?"

"I don't want to do this."

"Why?"

"Because kayley was my only friend after my parents died because she understood what I was going through. Now you want me to leave the only person who understood. How will that help me move on?"

Alex hadn't thought about that she didn't know what to do. She thought about telling Meghan that Kayley wouldn't be going to that school any more but decided against it.

"Meghan you have got to trust me on this. Ok?"

"No not ok."

"Ok if you don't want to fill this out properly then that's ok too. I'm going to go shower. We are going to enroll you in school wither you like it or not." Alex left the kitchen.

Meghan got the application and actually filled it out this time. Just wanting to get Alex off her back but as she filled it out she decided that maybe a fresh start wouldn't be so bad after all.

Please please please review! Thanks!
