"Sweetie, what's wrong?" asked Matt again, this time more urgently.

"N-Nothing... J-just go, go away," she stuttered, still crying a bit.

Matt lifted her gaze towards him and she hiccupped. She turned her head away from him and Matt just sighed.

"Li, c'mon. Will you please tell me what's wrong?" he pleaded softly and she just began to cry some more. She wanted to tell him, she wanted desperately to tell him everything…but she couldn't.

"Just go away Matt," she replied miserably and Matt shook his head. There was no way he was leaving her alone like this. He walked to the sink and grabbed a glass of water. Returning back, he handed her the glass and she looked up at him.

"Here, this will help with the hiccupping and things," he said softly and she nodded before taking the glass and slowly drinking it.

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he asked again and she shook her head. She could never tell him the truth, he wouldn't understand.

"Matt just leave it alone. It's none of your business anyway," she said, still not looking him directly in the eye.

She slowly made her way to her feet and walked over to the sink to wash her face. As soon as she finished, Matt was once more on her case.

"Li, sweetie you've got to tell me why you were crying," he said, gripping her arm tightly but she shrugged it of and walked silently to the living room. She wasn't going to tell Matt. He'd make a bigger deal out of this than it was.

"It's Glenn, isn't it?" he said and hearing those words she stopped dead in her tracks. Did he already know? No, he couldn't. There was no possible way for him to know.

"Matt, my life with Glenn is really none of your business. Everything is fine here, okay?" she said, beginning to clean the living room. Matt just rolled his eyes.

"Is he hurting you?" asked Matt bluntly and now she was getting angry with him.

"No, Matt, he isn't hurting me! Anyway, it's none of your business, okay? So just drop the subject and act like nothing ever happened," said Lita angrily and now it was Matt's turn to get flustered.

"He yells a lot," said Matt softly and Lita once more turned around.

"Who told you that?" she asked and Matt sat down on the couch.

"Lucas. Lucas was telling me a few weeks ago on the phone that Glenn yelled at you a lot," said Matt and this time Lita couldn't help the tears that began to fall.

"Lita, what's going on with you and Glenn? Is he really hurting you?" asked Matt, his tone softening and Lita shook her head.

"He, he doesn't hurt me. He just yells, okay? It's no big deal," she said, trying to shrug it off and Matt gripped her hands gently.

"Li, have you ever thought of just getting a divorce? It would be so much easier on you and on Lucas," said Matt and she shook her head violently.

"No! I can't get a divorce! Matt, I can handle this," she said and Matt closed his eyes. She was never going to give up. Just then the phone rang and Lita grabbed it from the nearby table.

"Hello," she said and she listened to the voice on the other end, confusion sweeping over.

"What do you mean he wasn't in school today? I watched him walk out the door to the neighbor's this morning," said Lita softly and she listened for a few moments before sighing.

"Yeah, okay, thank you," she said quickly before hanging up. She turned around to Matt with tears in her eyes and he tilted his head.

"Lita…" he said, his voice drifting and the tears became coming down faster.

"That-that was…  It was L-Lucas's t-teacher. She… She said he wasn't at school today," said Lita, choking on the sob that escaped her lips.
