Have you ever felt like you were getting to much sleep? Like you know you should be up but no alarm has went off. That's how I felt, the suspicion that I was getting to much sleep settled in. The sun shining through the thin curtains were what pulled me officially from my sleep. Letting out a long sigh, I outstretched my arm to pull Olivia closer to me but was met with cold sheets.

I lifted my head off the pillow and blinked the sleep from my eyes. I should have been awake sooner, I knew that without having to look at my phone. I grabbed my phone off the nightstand and turned it on.

I squinted my eyes at the brightness before I turned it down and looked at the time.

10:47 A.M

"Shit" I muttered to myself.

It was Friday so Olivia would be in class until one.

With that said she was off today.

I made a mental note of the texts from Stephan but the three missed calls from Huck caught my attention.

I quickly listened to the voicemail.

"Hey, We had a black out last night. You and Olivia should probably stay in today. I am still running an analysis to see what was taken but it isn't looking good. The boys at the state department think it was Eli. I am still tracking Olivia but if Eli wants her he is going to get her."

His words echoed in my brain. If he wanted her he was going to get her. Images of the scar on her back went through my head. He would have to get through me if he wanted her.

Right when I went to sit my phone down it started to ring. An image of Olivia danced across my screen. It was taken the first week she moved in. Her hair was pulled in a sloppy bun and she had only a sports bra and yoga pants on. She didn't have any makeup on but damn she was beautiful. She was smiling brightly at the camera with her tongue out. I snapped out of my haze and quickly answered the phone.

"Hey pretty girl." I said smiling hard

"Hey baby" her voice wasn't its usual cheery self.

"What's wrong?" the smile lowered from my face.

I could hear her sniffling and breathing heavily on the other end of the phone which were all tell signs that she was crying or had been crying.

I quickly stood up and threw some clothes on.

"Livvie?" I said in a panic.

"Can you come and get me? I would just call a cab but I didn't wake up in time and I forgot my purse at the house and its just been-"

"baby calm down okay?" I cut off her rambling.

"mmkay" she mumbled I heard her let out a heavy breathe.

"I am on my way are you still at the school?"

"yeah"

I was down the stairs and grabbing the keys by the door in two seconds flat.

I got in the car and started it up all while still being on the phone.

"I am on my way right now. Can you tell me what happened?" I silently prayed that there wouldn't be an traffic.

She didn't say anything for a minute but I could tell she was still on the line.

"Can we just talk about it later?" she asked timidly.

I sighed accepting defeat.

"Yeah that's fine"

"Please don't be mad at me." She pleaded which only broke my heart even more.

"I'm not mad. I am just worried that's all."

'Ok..kay" she hiccupped out. "I'll just wait for you by the parking lot."

I didn't want her to hag up but it didn't seem like I had a choice.

"Okay, I should be there in about forty five minutes. You think you will be okay?"

"Yeah I'll be fine. Bye"

Before I could form another thought she was hanging up the phone.

I broke every traffic law getting to her. Being a rational human being was no longer a thought.

Because of my failure to abide by the street laws I arrived at her college in thirty minutes.

I saw her leaning against the building she had on a pair of leggings and my shirt that nearly swallowed her accompanied by some old converses. Her backpack was slung over one shoulder and her earbuds were dangling from the phone in her hand. She looked exhausted, the way her body was slumped against the stone wall. Whatever happened really put a damper on her mood.

She spotted me as I pulled the car closer to her. With out a word she swung open the door and threw herself in to the car seat with a big sigh. I watched as she fastened her seatbelt and threw her backpack into the seat behind her.

She didn't day anything until about ten minutes down the road.

"Thank you for picking me up" she spoke slightly above a whisper.

I silently grabbed her hand and gave her a warm smile.

I continued driving in a blissful silence, that was until I heard her sniffling again.

I could see her tear stricken face and my heart broke.

"Livvie, I'm at a loss here you got to tell me what's wrong baby." I pleaded which is something I swore to never do. However with Livvie I would do anything.

"I don't talk about him a lot because he just isn't a good guy. I know you said I could talk to you about him but it just feels like a burden." The last words were hiccupped out and her whole body was convulsing with sobs, making her words hard to hear and comprehend.

I knew we were talking about her father by the dejected look on her face. "Liv, you aren't and never will be a burden."

She just nodded her head unconvincingly. Her father really did a toll on her. I worry about her mental stability. She went through some pretty unimaginable things.

"I feel like everyone is miles away from me and I just want to be numb to all of it." She gave me a quick glance as if she was worried that she was hurting my feelings then the apology started to tumble unfiltered from her mouth.

"Fitz, I didn't mean I wasn't mad about the sex part because it was good and I wanted it and you didn't hurt me and trust me I wanted it actually I think I wanted it so bad with you that I convinced you into it and I'm sorry it wasn't my intention to just go into your room like that and jump your bones. I really just wanted you to be close to me the nightmare scared me and the truth is I only feel safe in your arms which is dumb because I have a boyfriend and he stole money from me and had a whole drug front running out of my house and I didn't notice so obviously I can really pick em.

She paused for a second and let the tears fall down her already red face.

"Except you picked me. I don't deserve you. Last night was one of the best days of my life. Second only to the day that is signed our marriage license. I feel like I owe you so much, I didn't know I was in such a dark place until you pulled me from the hole and showed me the light. I want to be everything you deserve and in order to try I have to tell you things that I didn't even tell Jake, But I need you not to hate me and not to look at me differently because once you know there is no going back. Just promise to look at me like the girl you saw last night and not the crazy fucked up person I am because I cant keep this all inside of me anymore. I just.. I don't.. I just"

"Want to stop the hurting" I finished her sentence interrupting the tangent she had went on. She smiled at me through her bleary tear filled eyes.

"Yeah, I just wanna stop the hurt."
