Love Lies and Life

Chapter 1

Happy reading.

"Come Caleb it's time to go." Liv calls for her 4 year old son. Caleb comes running into the room. "Mommy I can't find my shoe can I wear these ones?" Liv looks down at Caleb's feet and exhales with a sigh. "Caleb honey you are not wearing two different shoes. What were you doing all this time?" Caleb smiles at his mother and hunches his shoulders. "Words Caleb, use your words. Mommy needs to hear your words." "I don't know mommy I can't find it." Liv takes Caleb by his small hand and they both go back to his bedroom to find the mate to one of the two shoes he has on. She finds both shoes in his toy box. "You really are good Caleb but mommies better. Why are both shoes in the toy box? Never mind." Liv removes one of the Nike shoes and puts on the correct mate that goes with it. "Mommy why can't I wear it like this" "Because they don't match Caleb now let's go." Liv and Caleb leave for her best friends Abby's.

"Abs, thank you so much for keeping him I really appreciate this I will pick him up right after my interview." Liv states once she enters Abby's home. "Don't worry about it Liv he's my godson and I love spending time with him." Caleb takes off once he enters the home to his toy area Abby has set up just for him. "You just kill this interview I'm rooting for you." Liv smiles at Abby's statement. "Thank you Abs. I will call you right after." Liv leaves and heads to her interview.

22 year old Abby Whalen was Olivia's best friend she met during her last year of high school. Abby was failing her AP Calculus class and Liv was a wiz with numbers. She was so smart that she was skipped a grade in middle school and was due to graduate a week before her 17th birthday. Abby and Liv was in study hall together as Liv was a tutor for other students who needed extra help for graduation. After helping Abby pass her Calculus course they became friends. Abby had lost her parent in a plane crash a year prior to her graduation and was left with trust fund which allowed her to live without struggle or ever needing to work. But her work ethics instilled into her by her father wouldn't allow her to just sit around and do nothing because she had money. With her own estate she was doing well at such a young age.

21 year old Olivia Pope is a single mom whom had her share of struggles, Her father Norman Pope who she loved dearly when Olivia was just 12 was sent to prison for killing her mother's lover after walking in on them in his house, in his bed and an alcoholic mother Candice Pope who didn't know a good man even if god himself brought him to her. At 17 years of age Olivia left home only to return a year later to ask her mom for her birth certificate and social security card. This would also be the first and last time Candice Pope would meet her grandson Caleb who at the time was only a year old. Yes Olivia was a teen mom who ran away from home after her mother found out she was pregnant and threatened to have whomever the boy that impregnated her locked up for statutory rape. But this wasn't the only reason Olivia ran. Her mother's boyfriend at the time who always gave Olivia creepy vibes decided to get her mother drunk the day she found Olivia in the bathroom puking her guts out to make his move.

4 years earlier…

Olivia had been feeling nauseated for several days. She didn't want to believe what her beste Abby told her. But now that she keeps finding herself face down in the toilet she thinks Abby may just be right. "Olivia…what the hell are you doing?" Her mother yells as she forces the bathroom door open with her boyfriend Rick standing behind her. Liv looks up with fear in her eyes as she faces her mother but she can't answer her because the nausea is hitting her with a vengeance. "Yo fast ass is pregnant throwing up and shit." Candice yells with her hand on her hip. "Yep baby she ain't had no period this month neither." Rick adds. "Oh shut the hell up Rick I know that I told yo dumb ass." Rick steps back and smirks. Liv is too weak to respond and the nausea won't let up. Her mother then tosses a pregnancy test at her. "When you finish throwing up I want your ass to piss on that stick and Olivia if you're pregnant I swear to god I'm having whatever little boy you been fucking locked up for rape and your ass getting an abortion." Finally a very weak Olivia looks up at her mom with fear in her eyes as she lifts the pregnancy test from the floor. Her mother then closes the bathroom door as she stands in front of Olivia. "Now that you've finally stopped throwing up get your ass up and piss on that stick." Olivia was terrified. She followed her mother's instructions and peed on the pregnancy stick getting a positive plus sign and a really angry mother as a result.

She was diminished to whore status with constant threats to have the boy involved locked up. Her mother continues to ask Liv who the boy was and Liv would say she didn't really know him. She only knew him by his nick name that everyone called him by Tripp which was a lie but she had to think fast because these were the same words the boy or shall we say man since he was 21 years old told her after finding out she was only 16 turning 17 in two weeks. His conversation played over and over in her head actually that entire night played over and over. She and her new best friend 18 year old Abigail decided to go to a party after Olivia snuck out of the house to escape the lustful stares of her mother's boyfriend. With fake id in hand they were ready to have fun. "Abbs do you think we will really be able to get in?" Abby turns to Liv "Yes as long as you don't act your age Liv." Liv looks at her "What do you mean?" Abby exhales "Just follow my lead we got this ok?" "Ok." Liv agrees. They knock on the door and their Id's are checked. Once they enter they find all college kids drinking and partying likes there's no tomorrow. Two hours into the party Liv can't help but notice a handsome guy who is constantly staring at her. She has also been checking him out as well. Abby is having the time of her life and disappears and Liv is enjoying herself as well but a bit bashful and unsure of herself in this environment. But after a few drinks she begins to loosen up and mingle a bit more. She stops to talk to a group of guys and that when it happened. The handsome guy who had been checking her out all night approached her. "Hey beautiful, I couldn't help but notice you since your clearly the prettiest girl here. What's your name?" Giddy and nervous Liv turns to him and smiles "Olivia." He smiles back "Hello Olivia my name is Fitz. Care if I hang out with you for a while?" Liv heart drops into her stomach because this guy is fine as hell and wants to hang out with her. Her young mind is in glee. "Um sure." Fitz leans on the counter "So Olivia how old are you if you don't mind me asking?" Trying to appear older Liv not yet familiar with the never ask a women her age rules answers. "Eighteen." "Really? Well I'm 21 and really interested in getting to know you." Fitz was a man whore at this time. His main goal was to get in a girls panties and add a notch to his already full belt. "I'd like that. I would like to get to know you too." Fitz smiles and nods to his friends. "Let go somewhere private it's a bit noisy in here." Liv being naive as she was agreed all the while pretending to be older than she really was.

They walk around the property and get to know more about each other. After about an hour of talking they both ended up in one of the bedrooms. Liv heart is palpitating in her chest. Not just because she knows where this could lead but because she has really taken a liking to Fitz and a part of her want it to happen. Not because she's loose but because she's afraid that she may one day have to fight off her mother's boyfriend, and she'd rather give her V-card away to someone she likes than someone trying to take it from her. "Are you really 18 Olivia because you really look younger?" Liv pulls out her Id and shows it to Fitz. "Now are you really 21 Fitz because you really look younger." Liv throws back imitate him. Fitz pulls out his Id and shows it to her. Liv hand it back to him and smiles. "So what do you want to do now?" Liv asks. "It's up to you Olivia but I really want to kiss you." A part of Fitz wanted to really get to know Liv, but his bad boy persona wouldn't allow him to. "Ok." Liv agrees "Kiss me." She follows up with. Fitz leans in and kisses Liv. Every nerve in Liv body awakens. She has never felt like this before. Things get heated up pretty fast and Liv is scared to death. Before she can really figure it all out Fitz hand is in her underwear and probing her entrance. There were soft words exchanged. Fitz runs his hand over her never before touched garden. Liv has completely and utterly lost her resolved and is going to go all the way but first she must tell Fitz something she feels is important. "Wait Fitz…I have to tell you something." Fitz stops his hand movements and looks down at Liv. "Ok." "Umm…I've never done this before." Fitz heart dam near stops and his manhood jumps. "Oh wow, do you want to stop?" Liv shakes her head. "No no I just wanted to tell you." "Ok do I need to use a condom so you don't get you know…?" "I'm on birth control for my cycle it gets kinda bad." Fitz is somewhat relieved. He really wanted to experience Olivia with no barriers. Fitz always wrapped up but in this moment he wanted to feel everything because in his mind she was going to be his and only his. Diving back into the kiss Fitz compliment Liv on how good she smells and feels.

As the moment continued they were both finally naked and ready to take the leap. "You ready Liv? This will hurt at first but I promise it will get better after a few minutes." Yes she whispers out as her fears increase but her body is tingling all over and she ignores the voice inside her head telling her to stop. Fitz kisses her and slowly begins to enter her opening. Liv breath hitches and she arches her back. Her nails deeply digging into Fitz's back. Fitz releases her from the kiss as he looks into Liv's eyes guilt hits him he stops with only the head of his penis inside of her. "You ok?" Fitz asks and she nods yes but he doesn't continue because the guilt is building. "Liv I can't do this. I think we should stop." Liv almost panics she's come too far to just stop. She wants this she needs this so her immature mind thinks. So without warning or preparation she wraps her legs around Fitz back and grips him by the buttocks and pulls him to her cause him to penetrate her. She screams out while biting her lip from the pain muffling the sound somewhat. Fitz is not prepared for this and grunts out loudly losing all ability to stop himself from ejaculating prematurely. "Fuuuuck Liv, shit shit shit." Embarrassed he doesn't mention he just came inside of her. Liv not having experience doesn't realize it either. Fitz is just thankful Liv is on birth control. "Why'd you do that?" Fitz asks as he places his head in Liv neck as his load releases. "Because I don't want you to stop now that the hard part is over can we continue?" She says timidly. Fitz immediately begins to harden again not completely losing his erection they continue.

Fitz and Liv both are overwhelmed with the sensation they are feeling. So Fitz makes sure to give Liv and experience she will never forget because from this moment on she belongs to him. An hour later the two clean up and return to the party. Liv checks her phone only to find that Abby has been calling and texting her for the last 20 minutes when she spots her once she and Fitz was coming down the stairs. She wasn't the only one who noticed them so did a girl named Mellie Sinclair Fitz's ex-girlfriend. Liv tells Fitz she will be right back she had to go check on her friend. He kisses her before she walks away. As Liv approaches Abby they both go outside because Abby wants every detail.

As Fitz goes to the kitchen area for a drink Mellie approaches him. "I hope you didn't fuck her cause she's only 16." Fitz plays it cool as he downs his drink. "Shut up Mellie you don't know what you're talking about. She's 18 and a senior about to graduate next week." Mellie turns serious "I'm serious Fitzgerald that girl is only 16, she goes to Washington High and was dating my cousin Max who is also 16. Please tell me you didn't have sex with that girl upstairs?" Fitz heart drops into his stomach. He knows when Mellie is lying and right now she's not. "It's cool Mellie I didn't have sex with her." Mellie is relieved because for one she and Fitz are leaving for Yale next week and for two she wanted him back and that couldn't happen if he was sleeping with underage girls. "But thanks for looking out for me. I really appreciate it." He kisses Mellie on the cheek and walks away trying to not let his fear and anger show. He goes outside in the direction he saw Liv and Abby go looking for her. He finds them by Abby's car down the street and approaches with fire in his eyes. "You're 16?!" He yells and Liv and Abby turn to him startled both looking like deer caught in headlights. "Huh?" Liv utters "You fucking lied to me you fucking set me up." Liv steps back from his approach. "Fiiiitz…I…I." "Give me your purse!" "What? No!" "Give me your fucking purse Olivia!" "Hey you can't talk to my friend like that!" Abby yells but the look in Fitz eyes make her think twice. Fitz pulls out Liv's wallet and finds her drivers permit along with her fake id revealing her true age. "Fuck fuck fuck fuck, Olivia why did you do this? I could go to jail. You just made me out to be a perverted child molester. OMG I'm fucked, I'm fucked, I'm fucked." Liv is so scared at this point. She never thought about this part. She never knew it really was a law since he was only 4 years older than her. She needed to fix this she really liked Fitz and never meant to hurt him or put him in harm's way by jeopardizing his freedom. "Fitz I swear I won't say anything to anybody." "Liv you are 16." "I'll be 17 in two week though." Fitz stops and looks at her realizing just how naïve Liv really is. "You know what you stay the fuck away from me. You've fucked up my life Olivia. I'm a fucking child molester now. I sleep with a kid. You are a kid Olivia FUCK!" With tears in her eyes Liv promises to never tell a soul about her and Fitz well except Abby since she was already privy to the information. Fitz would later leave for college and Liv would return to her unhappy life until she runs away and stays with Abby after sharing everything she's been going through with her even her surprise pregnancy.

Present Day...

Liv leaves for her interview with her mentor and ex-college professor Cyrus Beene. He told Liv to look him up when she graduated. Though it was hard Olivia pushed through and finished college in 4 years while being a single mom with the help of Abby and childcare. She now had a Master's in Communications and Accounting. She was hoping one day to open her own Accounting Firm. One hour later she calls Abby and shares that she got the job at Beene & Novak Law as an accountant. Abby is over the moon with the news. She owns for the local broadcasting corporation for XYZ news a major new outlet in the city. She and Liv decided to meet up to celebrate at kid zone giving Caleb room to play while they had ice cream. As the two women talked while keeping a close eye on Caleb Abby looks at Liv and dam near chokes on the cold cream as she sees someone familiar walking their way. "Liv Liv…Oh shit, it's him, it's him Liv he's walking over here." Liv scrunches up her face as she looks at Abby "Who's walking over here Abby what's wrong…" Liv turns around to see who Abby is so worked up about and her heart falls into her stomach with panic. "Olivia Abby wow you two are still hanging out?" Liv turns to look for Caleb then back at the man that just approached them. "Fitz…Hi." "Hello Fitz" Fitz had gotten even finer if that was even possible. He bluish gray eyes sparkle just like Caleb's his crooked smile also like Caleb. Fitz awkwardly stood with his back to Caleb facing Abby and Liv. "Actually I'm glad I ran into you Liv. I just wanted to apologize to you…you know about what happened years ago. I blamed you for everything that happened when I was the adult and clearly irresponsible for what happened. I sort of took advantage of you and I just wanted to apologize. I said that if I ever saw you again that I would and seeing you here today I was given that chance the fact that I'm still walking around a free man says a lot about you Liv and you as well Abby."

Just as Olivia and Abby are about to reply Caleb comes running with tears in his eyes. "Mommy mommy I fall down and my knee is bweeding." Fitz smiles not yet seeing the little boys face. Liv hearing her son cry scoops him up and momentarily forgets that Fitz is there. Her first concern was her son. "Let mommy see, don't cry baby." Liv and Abby both are so consumed with Caleb they totally ignore Fitz presence until he speaks. "Liv you have a son?" Everyone turns to look at Fitz including Caleb with a tear stained face. "Umm yes." Caleb just stares at Fitz as Fitz stares at Caleb "Liv how old is he?" Liv nervously tries to end the encounter. "Um Fitz it was really nice seeing you again thanks for the apology but I need to tend to my son." Fitz not one to be ignored "Hey little man what's your name and how old are you?" Caleb feeling a since of familiarity says "Caleb…I four." Fitz decides to keep going knowing that children are so innocent they only speak on what they know. "Nice to meet you Caleb I'm Fitz." Caleb sniffles and says "Nu...un you daddy. Mommy he daddy from the picture." In that moment everyone's world stood still.
