A/N: This story is based on a dream I had. While I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's new CD, All I Ever Wanted, I kept thinking about my dream and how to turn it into a Fan Fiction. Each chapter is titled after one of Kelly Clarkson's songs. I hope you enjoy. Don't own SVU or Kelly Clarkson, just borrowing!

Chapter 2: You Found Me

"You found me when no one else was looking, how did you know just where I would be, yeah you broke through all of my confusion, the ups and the downs and you still didn't leave, I guess that you saw what no one else could see, yeah you found me." - Kelly Clarkson

"This is gonna be a tough one." Mrs. Patterson muses to the other ladies standing at the door.

"I'm sure it will be. But Maddie will appreciate it when it's all over." Mrs. McBride reassures the women.

"She's going to need some kind of counseling to help her get through this." Coach Yearwood adds.

"This is only the beginning, let's just wait and see how it goes." Mrs. Patterson says and approaches Maddie.

COACHES LOUNGE
MANHATTAN WEST HIGH SCHOOL
9:00am

Mrs. Patterson can see Madeline's body convulsing with sobs as she approaches her. "Honey?"

"Wh… where is he?" she cries.

"Officer Crow has him." Mrs. Patterson explains.

"G.. good." the teen stutters.

"Shhh… why don't you sit up and take some deep breaths. You need to calm down." the blond suggests.

Coach Yearwood has closed the door because third period P.E. has entered the locker room and doesn't want to cause a distraction.

Madeline sits up and feels the pain shoot down her back from Travis's steel toe boots and tries to hold in a scream.

Mrs. McBride notices her pain and asks, "Madeline, are you okay?"

The teen shakes her head no and puts her hand on the small of her back. Mrs. Patterson realizes that her pain is from him kicking her while they were trying to separate them.

"Sweetie, can I look at your back, just to make sure it's okay?" Coach Yearwood gently asks.

Madeline tenses up and Mrs. Patterson notices, "It's okay, she's not going to hurt you, hold my hand."

The teen reaches her hands out and the woman grabs onto both of them, slightly leaning her over so Coach Yearwood can look at her back.

Coach Yearwood approaches Madeline and starts to lift up her shirt, "honey, it's just me. I'm just looking, I won't touch you."

"I… know." Madeline quietly breathes, staring at the floor.

Coach Yearwood gets one look at Maddie's back and becomes even more concerned, "Sweetheart, you have some pretty nasty bruises."

"D… don't make me tell." she stammers.

"Honey, now I know why you were having such a hard time running. If you would have told me you were bruised up, I wouldn't have yelled at you." the coach explains.

"You… wouldn't?"

"Of course not. If someone's hurting you, you need to let us know." the woman answers.

"He said he'd kill me." Madeline cries.

"No one is going to kill you Maddie, we're here to protect you now." Mrs. McBride reassures the teen.

Coach Yearwood gently pulls Maddie's shirt back down and sits on the couch next to her. "Hey, honey, I'll make sure no one hurts you again, you just have to let us know who."

"TRAVIS!!!" she screams in defeat, and sobs into Mrs. Patterson's hands.

Meanwhile, Madeline's volleyball coach, Coach Evans, has heard her cries and screams, decides to gently nock on the door to the lounge.

Mrs. McBride opens the door and sees the dark brunette woman, "Coach Evans…"

"Is she okay?" the woman asks, concerned.

"Not really. Her boyfriend attacked her on the way to second period after she broke up with him. She texted one of her friends to get Mrs. Patterson out of the classroom so she could tell her what was going on. Mrs. Patterson took her into Mrs. Henry's room to talk but her ex boyfriend came in and started attacking her again. He dragged her down the hallway, but Coach Yearwood and Coach Newton caught up to him, and were able to separate them." Mrs. McBride explains.

Coach Evans enters the room, sees Madeline's tattered clothes and gently offers, "Maddie, honey, I have an extra sweat suit in my office if you want to change into something more comfortable."

"C.. can I please change, h.. he had me in the puddles out there and I'm cold now." the teen asks.

"Of course you can baby. I'll let you change in the office so the P.E. kids don't see you." the woman calmly replies. "Just let me find the one that's your size. I think I have another shirt in my drawer as well."

"Okay." Maddie quietly replies.

"Once she gets changed, we need to get her to the nurse, and maybe the hospital, depending on what he did to her." Mrs. McBride states.

Maddie begins to panic as she says this, but Coach Evans distracts her, "Come with me honey, I'll make sure no one bothers you while you change and then we need to do what Mrs. McBride says, it'll be okay."

She follows the woman into the coaches office and tries to hold back her tears. Coach Evans notices this and says, "Sweetheart, everything's going to be okay. You don't have to be strong right now, it's okay to cry."

Maddie leans into the woman who wraps her arms around the teen in return. "Shhh, shhh, shhh. Shhh."

"C.. can I tell you what happened? Like just as in me telling you without Mrs. McBride, Mrs. Patterson or Mrs. Henry listening?" the teen asks.

"Okay, after you get changed, I'll let Mrs. McBride know you want to do it that way, if it's going to make you more comfortable." the coach answers.

Maddie sighs in relief and takes the clothes from her coach, walks into the restroom, shuts the door behind her and changes.

While she is changing, Mrs. McBride has radioed the nurse and the counselor to meet them in the lounge, and told Mrs. Henry that she could go back to class.

Maddie finishes changing and comes out of the restroom wearing a pair of green sweatpants, a grey t-shirt and bare feet.

"Honey, what happened to your shoes?" Coach Evans asks.

"I don't want to be seen in sweats and heels." the teen bluntly answers.

"Well you can't be bare footed either, I think I have flip flops in my locker." the woman replies.

Coach Evans opens her locker and finds a pair of black rubber flip flops that are Maddie's size and hands them to her. She drops them on the floor and slides her feet into them.

"Hey coach…" she quietly says.

"yes honey?" the woman replies.

"What would you do if I told you that Travis… r… raped me?" she stumbles on her words.

"When honey? Just now?" Coach Evans asks, concerned.

Madeline nods her head yes and cries.

Coach Evans sighs and calmly replies, "Sweetheart, we're going to have to tell Mrs. McBride. I know you probably don't want to, but it needs to be reported."

Madeline looks at the woman with so much hurt in her eyes and says, "That's just part of what he's done to me, coach, you didn't see all the bruises on my back, but they're there, they're from him. He loves to kick me if I don't do what he wants me to. I can't count how many times he's tried to rape me, it's been too many, one was enough, I should have broken up with him then, but I was too scared. I finally called it quits this morning and he went nuts. I just wanna get away from him, that's all I wanted." she finishes her last sentence sobbing.

Coach Evans just listened to everything Maddie had to say and it broke her heart. She pulls the teen into a hug and gently rubs calming circles on her back, being careful of the bruises, "shhh shhh, shhh, it's gonna be okay baby, shhh."

Mrs. McBride is beginning to wonder what is taking Maddie so long and opens the door to the office and sees her crying in Coach Evans' arms.

"Coach Evans, Nurse Murphy and Mrs. Rogers are here." she tells her.

Coach Evans looks at her and mouths, "We'll be right there."

Mrs. McBride nods and leaves the room. Coach Evans whispers to Maddie, "hey hon, we need to get you checked out, let Nurse Murphy make sure you're okay. And we're gonna have to tell them what he did to you, so they know."

Maddie separates herself from Coach Evan's hug and looks at her, she notices the fear in the teen's eyes and says, "I'll stay with you. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Madeline nods and makes her way towards the door. She quickly crosses the hallway back to the coaches lounge and plops down on the couch, grabs a pillow and squeezes it.

Nurse Murphy notices Madeline's entrance and starts to approach her. Coach Evans walks in the room, looks at Mrs. McBride and sighs.

Nurse Murphy switches spots with Mrs. Patterson so she's now sitting in a chair facing Madeline. "Madeline? Can you come to my office so I can make sure you're okay?" the woman asks.

Madeline looks up at Coach Evans who smiles back at her. "I… guess so…" she quietly whispers.

"Madeline, I have to ask you, and I know you may not want to answer, but, did he rape you?" Nurse Murphy calmly asks.

Maddie hides her head in the pillow and wraps her arms around her knees. Coach Evans wishes Madeline would come forward and tell her what he did, but she knows it's not going to come easily.

"Madeline?" she gently probes.

"HE DID IT! HE FREAKING RAPED ME! OUT THERE, ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD. NOT ONCE BUT TWICE, I WOULDN'T HAVE SEX WITH HIM, SO HE DECIDED TO FREAKING RAPE ME!!." "There, I said it." she screams.

Everyone is shocked by her sudden accusation, especially Coach Evans. Nurse Murphy looks up at Mrs. McBride and whispers something about a hospital but Madeline is too upset to listen. Coach Evans is the first one sitting next to the teen after her outburst. Madeline leans into the woman, still hugging the pillow and she wraps her arms around her.

"Lisa…did she tell you this in the office?" Mrs. McBride asks Coach Evans.

"Yes. But I didn't know she was going to do this." Lisa replies.

The next few minutes are a blur for Madeline because she has her eyes closed and is crying. But before she can protest, she realizes Coach Evans is talking to her again, "honey, we're going to take you to the nurse's office as soon as the bell rings to start fourth period."

Madeline then realizes she's missing most of her classes, "What am I gonna do about my work? I have a test this period. My friends are probably wondering I left after first period."

"Don't worry. I'll fix the absences in the system and tell your teachers what happened." Mrs. McBride reassures her.

"Okay." Maddie replies.

The fourth period bell has rung and Madeline realizes that it's the first lunch and cries, "All my friends are going to see me being wheeled down the hall in sweats. And I never wear sweats to school."

Coach Evans realizes the teen's worry and looks at Mrs. McBride, "My car is in the parking lot, in the front row, right outside the door. Can I drive her around to the front of the school and bring her into the office that way?"

"Okay. We could do that, if it makes her feel more comfortable." Mrs. McBride answers.

"Thank you." the teen replies.

Coach Evans gently rubs Maddie's arm to get her attention and gently says, "Alright sweetheart, let's get up and start heading to my car. I'm gonna drive you around the side of the building to the front and we'll go in the entrance right by the nurse's office."

Maddie nods in agreement and puts the pillow back down on the couch, grabs her purse off the floor and meets Coach Evans by the door. Lisa puts her arm around the teen's shoulders and leads her to the parking lot. She helps Maddie into her car, walks around to the drivers side and gets in. She turns the car on, backs out of her parking spot and heads towards the front of the building.
