I woke up the next morning in Olivia's arms.
She said," Morning, do you want to go home?"
I asked," Where is he?"
She rubbed my hand reassuringly and said," He will never hurt you ever again. I promise. Okay?"
I said," Okay."
She handed me my clothes and said," I'll go sign the papers
and we'll get you out of here."
I got dressed and sat there waiting on her. She came back into the room and said," Come on sweetie, let's go home."
We walked out together. When we got home I walked up to my bed room door, but I stopped.
She asked," What?"
I said," I can't go in there. I can't."
She pulled me away from the door and pulled me into a hug. She reached back and shut the door.
She said," It's okay. You don't have to go in there right now. You can sleep in my bed. It's okay."
I held onto her tight.
She said," You're safe. It's okay. No one is ever going to hurt you like that again. I will never let anyone hurt you like that again."
We spent the entire day at home together watching movies.
That night I started to get ready for bed. I couldn't go anywhere near my room.
Olivia went in and got my pjs and brought them out to me.
I changed in the bathroom.
When I didn't come back she knocked and opened the door.
I was sitting on the floor hugging my knees.
She sat down and pulled me into her arms.
I was shaking.
She held me tighter up against her and said," Sweetie you are safe here. No one is going to hurt you. Come on let's get some sleep."
When I didn't move she picked me up and carried me to her room.
She laid me down on bed and laid down beside me.
She laid there rubbing my back until I had finally fallen asleep.
We were both exhausted when we got up the next morning.
She rubbed my cheek to wake me up and said," Come on, you can come to work with me, but I'm not leaving you here alone. Come on. I already got your clothes from your room. They're in a pile in the bathroom."
I changed clothes and came out.
We went into the precinct and I sat down at Olivia's desk.
Elliot asked," How are you Sarah?"
I shook my head no and didn't answer him.
Olivia asked," What's wrong?"
I pointed to a door.
My dad sat behind a table.
Olivia asked," What is he doing still here?"
Elliot said," I don't know. I'll go find out."
Olivia said," Sarah, come on sweetie. Come here."
She took my hand and pulled me up and walked me out and up to the crib. She sat me down on the bed as I burst into tears.
She held me close and said," It's okay Sarah. He's only here so that we can make sure he never hurts you again. You don't have to see him. It's okay."
She held me close and I sobbed," I saw him. He is downstairs! He's in the same building!"
Olivia said," He's not going to hurt you. I will never let him ever hurt you. Okay, I swear he will never hurt you again."
I shook my head yes as Elliot walked into the room.
