Olivia has finished work for the day and has just picked up Noah from school when they get home to the apartment she walks through the door Brian shouts"Olivia get in here now!". Olivia tells"Noah to go in his room as he always does when Brian is home Olivia takes her shoes off then walks into the living room where she finds Brian sittng in with a thunderous look on his his with a glass of scotch waiting for her.
He looks at her as she stares back at him when he says"where have you been? Your over an hour late. What is your excuse".
"I told you yesterday where I was I have been to work till just under 30 mins ago". You also said you would be straight home afterwards". "I did after I got Noah"
"Don't lie to me Olivia"

"Liar".
Brian picked up his scotch glass and threw it at the wall making Olivia jump the glass smashed,Brian picks up the dustpan and throws it at Olivia. She cleans up after him as she always has to.
Brian says"so when are you going to get rid of that brat for good". Olivia says"Don't call him that and I'm not getting rid of him he is my son". Brian stares at her looking more angrier by the minute as she goes and emptys the glass in to the bin before she comes back over and puts the dustpan back in it's home,when she noticed the suitcase by the sofa which she knows it means his going away before she says"you going somewhere".
"Vegas. I will be back Tuesday you are staying in all weekend yes?"
"Yes".
"Good because this place needs a clean just because you and your brat of a son like to live in a rubbish tip doesn't mean I want to". Don't call him a brat".
Brian grabs Olivia's wrists and digs his nails and fingers in to her as well as twisting them really hard
"Owww Brian that really hurts your hurting me".

Brian lets go of Olivia picks up his suitcase leaves slamming the door behind him. Olivia sinks down on to the sofa cradling her wrists. Why was Brian so so nasty and cruel?
"Mama" Noah appeared in the doorway he heard Brian leave and knew it was safe to come out now to his mom. Olivia wipes her eyes and holds open her arms for Noah,he runs over and climbs up on to her lap as she wraps her arms around him holding him close. Olivia kisses his forehead and they just sitting together as Olivia wonders why she is still with Brian when all he does is abuse her controls her and puts her down and treats her and Noah like dirt she thinks I have really realky messed up by being with him but I can't leave because if I do he will hurt me even more and then he will try to hurt Noah and that is something I will never ever let happen.
