Chapter 66
Olivia went into the bedroom to wake Amanda. She was spread across the whole bed, butt up and Olivia couldn't resist this wake up call, Amanda had gotten away with too much lately. "Whack" Olivia got her good, Owwwww! Liv that hurt" Amanda jumped up holding her ass. "Get your ass in the shower! Now! I hate to tell you this, but if that little tap hurt you, today will be a long one. Let's go Kat and I are making breakfast and waiting on you. If you aren't done when we are done, I'm coming back and it won't be a tap."
Olivia went back to the kitchen and Kat looked at her, "Liv what happened?" Olivia smiled, "Just a warning love tap. What do you want for breakfast?" Kat shrugged, "Just make what Amanda likes." Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Fine I'll make French toast." Kat smiled, "That's my favorite, Amanda hates French toast." Olivia pulled out the ingredients and started, "I thought you heard me earlier. You matter too Kat." Olivia gave her a wink. Kat helped with the bacon and set the table.
Amanda arrived right as the food was set out. She sat down slowly, her butt was on fire. She saw the French toast and turned her nose up. Olivia slid the plate in front of her, "Don't start would be my advice, but you don't take that often." They ate and talked, well Kat and Olivia talked. "Amanda, since you're done, grab the dishes and start the dishwasher, Kat and I will grab everything else. We have a meeting in the living room in five minutes.
"Kat she already popped me this morning and it hurt. I don't think she's playing around. What else is she going to do to me?" Kat shrugged, "She hasn't popped me, but I've had several lectures since last night." Amanda laughed, "Oh gosh the lectures, just pop me." Olivia came into the room, "Oh we're laughing now? Get up, I'm sitting, you two are standing right there." Olivia sat with her coffee, "Let's start where we left off in the squad room. So, Kat told you to go to Hudson and lie to me, because she needed you to take a test for her?" Amanda looked confused, Olivia wasn't playing around and she had never been in so much trouble. Olivia waited for someone to speak. "I know what's missing." Olivia put her coffee down, stood up, and removed her belt. "Now let's see if I can get something out of you that's not a lie."
"Okay Liv! Promise me you won't punish me if I tell you?" Olivia narrowed her eyes, "Excuse me! You think you're gonna call the shots on whether I punish you. Amanda, I have two simple rules for you, watch your disrespectful mouth and be honest. You have a big problem with telling lies and lately you can't seem to follow either one of my rules." Amanda shifted from side to side. This was different. Olivia was cold and serious. Amanda began to think she went far this time. "Yes ma'am."
Olivia put the belt on the coffee table and picked up her coffee. "I'm waiting." Amanda started from the beginning, "Kat's college friends from Georgia needed help with school, so I started writing tons of papers and they would CashApp me money. Kat told me not to do it and I lied to her too. I went behind her back and contacted her friends. When she transferred to Hudson I continued." Olivia was getting pissed by the second, "That's cheating Amanda, just as bad as lying. So you lied to me and Kat." Amanda swallowed hard, "Yes ma'am." Olivia shook her head in disbelief and Amanda continued, "A paper I wrote recently got a C and they were pissed. It happened to be the girl that fought us at the club." Olivia couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Stuff like this happens when you're doing the wrong things. Why Amanda? Why do something like that and lie to me and your best friend?"
Amanda was embarrassed, hearing Liv say it made her feel like shit. "It really started because I wanted to get you good Christmas gifts and I've always worked, but I was too scared to go out and work. When the money started coming in, it was easy. It was the easiest money I ever made and I got greedy. I didn't care about lying or your punishment." When Amanda said that out loud Olivia's eyes flew up. "Wow Amanda! So you don't care about my punishments. I don't even know who you are anymore. Tears started to fall from Amanda's eyes, "I was wrong and I shouldn't have done any of it. Every time I lie it comes back to the same thing. I do something, because I don't talk to you. Liv I know you aren't going to believe me and I don't deserve it, but I'm going to be honest. I want to be able to tell you things and you believe me."
Olivia stood up and moved to Amanda, "It's gonna be while. I'm gonna have questions and when I do I want them answered with no hesitation Amanda. Have you ever heard this saying "If you lie, you will cheat. If you cheat, you will steal. If you steal, you will kill." This incident proves you're a liar and cheater. What's next Amanda?" Amanda had nothing to say. She thought about how she got here." Olivia could see it in her face she got to her and that's all she wanted. Amanda was not a bad kid, but with everything thrown at her it was a confusing time. "Kat you lied too, so your punishment is you will stay here the entire weekend, no phone, no TV, no fun. You have an hour to go pack a bag, get all of your stuff for school, midterms don't mean anything you will get ahead. Oh and while you're gone start thinking because you pick Amanda's punishment and I want the answer when you get back. It better not be some baby punishment either, if I don't like your punishment for her, you will miss your whole spring break and my belt will be used today."
