She wasn't answering her phone and she didn't show up to any of her classes. Abby started to worry. So, Abby being ... well Abby showed up to Olivia's apartment.

She knocked on the door. "Olivia, it's me come on I know you're in there" still no answer. "Olivia seriously" Abby was getting annoyed now. She stopped pounding on the door long enough to try and twist the door knob. She knew it was no use Olivia has always been paranoid about keeping her door locked. So, imagine Abigail's surprise when the doorknob turned, and she pushed open the door.

Suddenly she was no longer annoyed she was petrified. "OLIVIA?" she went straight to the bedroom. Olivia's blankets were sprawled on the floor. "Okay Olivia this isn't funny" she went through the kitchen and still nothing. The last place to check was the family room. That's where she found her.

She had her knees tucked to her chest and was sobbing as she rocked back and forth. The sight of her current state brought tears to her eyes "Oh my god Liv are you okay?" that seemed to have gotten her attention.

"Abby?" she started crying harder.

"Hey what is wrong are you okay?"

"I have to tell you something and I need you to not tell anyone okay?" Olivia said in between sniffles.

"Alright what is going on?"

"This man was in my apartment last night and-"

"What the hell did you call the police did he hurt you?"

"Abby I'm fine he um he didn't hurt me. The cocaine we found wasn't, well it wasn't Jakes. Jake stole it and a lot -"

"Where is he I'm going to kill him?" Abby said seriously

"Abby please let me finish. They have Jake and they won't let him go not unless I... I uh" liv glanced at the floor letting the tears fall freely again.

"Liv what are they making you do?"

"I have to marry him Abby. He said that he needs to be the next governor and he can't achieve that goal unless he is married. So, I marry him and once he gets the governor seat and serves a year in office, we can get a divorce. He promised to put Jake in a rehab clinic until I fulfill my end of the deal and then he will be released."

"Olivia are you serious?" she sat down on the couch next to Olivia taking it all in.

"That's not all" Olivia said seriously

"He is telling you to marry him what else more could he possibly want?"

"It isn't what he wants. Jake lost all my savings. Even if I said no, he would kill Jake and I would be homeless. I have thought about all the options Abby. No stone was left unturned. I have to have my things packed before nine tonight"

"oh, Olivia you cannot seriously want to do this?"

"I have to it's the only way"

Abby didn't push her about it. She could tell she didn't need her judgment. At least not yet. They sat in silence for a few minutes.

"So Harrison and I left, then what he just walks through the front door?"

"Yeah, I mean I suppose he has Jakes keys so he just came in?"

"And then what? How did you know it wasn't Jake?"

Olivia's cheeks filled with color. Abby was quick to notice it

"what aren't you telling me?" Abby scowled

"He made himself know by… you know what never mind."

"Olivia what happened?" her tone let Olivia know she was not kidding.

"I was so tired when you guys left, emotionally exhausted so I went to bed. I didn't hear the door open but I felt him get into bed. And I smelled the cologne. I thought it was Jake. And then he touched me. I thought it was a dream." Olivia was lost in thought so she stopped.

Abby cleared her throat "Liv that sounds like sexual assault"

"No it wasn't, in my head I knew he wasn't Jake. At first I admit I thought it was dream but once I realized it wasn't. I didn't want him to stop."

Abby was smiling

"I wanted him to do it again" Olivia said seriously

"Olivia I think this could be a good thing I mean don't get me wrong there are so many things wrong with this whole thing. With that said Jake wasn't it for you. We all know that he has been through hell with you and he sees you as a pity case. I'm not saying that this man is the love of your life all I'm saying is you need to ask yourself why you never let Jake touch you."

"Abby I love Jake"

"But does he truly love you? Because if he does he has a funny way of showing it"

They were silent for a while. Olivia pondered what Abby was saying. She was right they had been through everything together. So she would have to support him through this. As a payment for all the time he has saved her. Except getting married to a man seemed like a hefty price.

"Well it is already three and if you expect to have all this packed up by nine tonight we need reinforcements" she grabbed her phone and sent a text. Seconds later lives phone dinged.

Meet at Liv's apartment ASAP. We are going OVER A CLIFF

Liv smiled at Abby. If there was anyway that she was going to go through with this she was going to need her squad. Everything was going to be okay or so she hoped.
