Everyone- One, can you all read "A Little Glimmer of Hope? By detectivespiritcaller? Hopefully it will have more chapter soon (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) I wrote this in the car on the way to MAYB nations which my team placed 9th!!! (B-ball btw) So the point is… I'm not sure how perfect it will be and it might sway…


"Just lovely," she said, taking a seat at the table. About that time she realized she did not have her bag or books. Grunting, she noticed his and gave a small sigh.

"Lose something?" he asked, just then noticing she didn't have any bags either. "Don't worry, I brought mine," he reassured. They flipped the book opened to the assigned page, and she started explaining the problems step by step at first and letting him take over after a while.

As they worked they chatted about this and that. Flirting of course took its turns and by the end, Olivia was sick of the light giggle and perfect smile she flashed at one of his more than lame jokes that he tried. By the end of the hour, they had plans for movies and calling Tim and Alex. Elliot had suggested they called Marco and Abbie also, but Olivia quickly objected.

"Well, ready to go?" he asked, holding out his arm in a more than silly matter. Laughing, Olivia locked arms and smiled as they headed to Elliot's house to finalize the plans and get his father's car.

The breeze outside was buoyant but nonetheless chilly. Brushing back her hair, she pulled her jacked a bit closure around her as Elliot's arm slide around her shoulder. She smiled at the fact, not wanting to brush him away, but at the same time not wanting to give him the wrong idea. Okay, so there was no "wrong" idea in this matter, besides the fact that she was easy. She wasn't that easy.


Alex fiddle with her hair before letting it hang down, framing her perfect face. Her lips shined and her eyes had a browner tone, which matched her V-cut sweater and hip-hugging jeans. Smiling, she brushed her hair one last time before leaving to walk down to the end of the street where Elliot was going to pick her up since half way through had roadwork.

"Hey!" Olivia said from the front seat as she slides in. Marco gave her a quick kiss as he commented on how cute she looked. They drove off to the movies, turning up the music as they danced in their seats.

The movie went by pretty quickly for Alex and Tim and the only part they could tell you about was the first kill when the whole movie theatre screamed. Elliot and Olivia sat by each other, and about thirty minutes into it, Elliot's arm innocently was wrapped around Olivia's shoulder. Within another hour, her head (also very innocently) was rested on his shoulder. By the time the movie ended, their heads where leaned in and arms around each other, both not noticing the crowd trying to push through. Getting up, almost as if they where asleep where almost shocked to find themselves in this position and was even more shocked when they leaned in to kiss.

Quickly pulling away, Olivia gave a slight smile and headed out as fast as she could. The drive to Olivia's was first and the longest as they sat in silence. Olivia got out and walked quickly up the stairs into the apartment with no more than a goodbye to Alex. As the car pulled away, an inquisitive Alex started to ask questions, only to be muted by Elliot turning up the music. Marco shifted in the seat to be closer to Alex and kiss her. Rolling his eyes, Elliot drove off to Alex's street next, not wanting to be left alone with her.


Olivia walked up the stairs dreadfully as down the hall with less than a frown. Grunting, she opened the door, only to see her mom all over her newest boyfriend. Rolling her eyes, she quietly shut the door and headed to her room. About three hours later, she came out for food, only to see her mom passed out on the couch and no sign of Jackson, she got out some peanut butter and a loaf of bread.

"Hey," a voice slurred from behind her in a suggestive seductive voice. Olivia tensed as visions of the night before played through her head.

"Leave me alone," she muttered, not turning around. He grabbed her arms tightly, as to show her how to spread the peanut butter. Playing with them, he laughed at Olivia's discomfort and nudging to get away.

"So, you a good as lover as your mom?" he whispered, sending chills up her spine. Olivia quickly turned around, the knife pointed at him. No, it wasn't a sharp knife, but it made its point.

"If you ever touch me again I swear…" she gasped, her eyes crazed.

"You'll what, kill me?" he laughed.

"No, I'll call the cops!" she yelled, taking a step towards the phone.

Looking at the younger girl, he gave a slight chuckle before bringing up his hand as if he was going to slap her. Making the motions, he snickered as she crinkled, and made sure her eyes where opened when he really slapped her. Knocking her into the table, slapped her again.

"Don't you ever try to call the cops on me girl. Why would they believe you anyways?" he asked, a cock assed smile crossed his face. When Olivia didn't answer, he raised his arm again, "You got that girl?"

"Go to hell!" she spat, readying herself for the next blow, on which would knock her out for the rest of the night.


Abbie laid in her bed, staring mindlessly at the ceiling. She was too scared to close her eyes. The night replayed like a 99 yard run on Monday Night Football. Why was she dressed like such a slut that night? Why did she lead him up to the room?

"Come on, Abbie, everyone knows you don't lead a guy on like that, you stupid slut!" she would yell at herself.

After a while, tiredness would consume her, only she would be waked moments later with nightmares. But, then she would be caught up, and there was no way to get out of the nightmare. She was trapped, trapped with him all because she had to be such a tramp. The girls at school where right, she was a slut, a tramp and deserved it. A light scream crept out of her lips. But it wasn't a scream because nobody was there to hear it. No one cared that she couldn't sleep, that she wouldn't live again. The world was only big enough for one, and for now, he won.


Elliot walked down the halls of the school, looking for Olivia. She would have to face him one day, if she wanted to or not. He planted out in front of her locker casually, waiting for her. He needed to know if he read everything wrong, because that kiss wasn't just one way, but maybe there was something else.

"She's not here today," Alex voice announced less than chipper.

"Is she okay?"

"I'm not sure," Alex replied. Elliot looked into Alex's eyes, knowing the answer. The rest of the day, Elliot sat through classes, eyes glued on the clock. By the middle of third period, Elliot left for the bathroom and never returned. He grabbed his stuff out of his locker and headed off to Olivia's apartment.


The knock on the door startled Olivia as she got up slowly from the TV. Opening the door slightly, she looked out.

"Hey," he said, a concerned look all over his face.

"Elliot," she said, offering him inside. He moved in and she quickly closed the door, her head down, staring at her feet.

"Aren't you suppose to be in school?" he asked. She looked at the clock.

"I could ask you the same thing," she joked, not letting him see her face.

"Alex told me you were gone and I was worried… I wanted to…"

"Thanks," Olivia said, smiling as she slowly looked up, revealing a dark red mark across her face.

"Oh my gosh, Olivia!" he said, rushing over to her side. "What happen? Was it your mom?" he asked, freaking out upon the fact.

"No, um… it's… my mom's newest boyfriend. I really have to go now Elliot," she mumbled, trying to get around him.

"What? Where? Olivia, have you looked at yourself?"

"That's exactly it, I have to go down to the police station before they fade," she muttered, looking him in the eyes as he held her.

"I'm coming with," he stated. "My dad, he is a cop, we could go to him."

"Thanks," Olivia said with a smile as Elliot led her to his car.


Abbie looked at George, for a second forgetting where she was.

"Shit, I'm so sorry, I really…" Abbie muttered, looking for the sheet she knew she forgotten. She hadn't done any of her homework from last night, but this was different. This was a team thing and she felt bad for forgetting. She was useless. Stopping a tear, she received a sympatic looked from George as he told her she could just bring it tomorrow. Nodding, she tired to work on the project, but couldn't keep interested. Giving out a sigh, she let her mind wondered again, letting herself get lost in her own little world.


Olivia walked into the office, holding tightly onto Elliot's arm. The newfound comfort was pleasing but at the same time overwhelming. Elliot received a few hellos as they past the desk and a concern look by one younger man. Leading her to a desk, one unoccupied, he let her sit. About a minute later, a woman in her earlier thirties sat down on the other desk and smile at the two.

"Hey, Elliot, your dad will be another hour, but I can get you if you need him," she offered as she brushed her light blonde hair behind her hair as she looked at the computer.

"Um… actually, Kate," Elliot started, holding Olivia's hand, "Olivia needs to talk to you." Olivia lifted up her head, revealing the redness on her face and an angelic smile.

"Okay… um you wanna go somewhere more private?" Kate asked, looking Olivia intensely in the eyes. Olivia nodded; standing up and following Kate, letting Elliot wait at his father desk.
