Cry

A/N: This story is about a girl who gets attacked by her boyfriend at school. She tries to break up with him… but he doesn't take it very well. Each chapter is named after a song by Kelly Clarkson. I don't own SVU or Kelly.

Chapter 6: How I Feel

"I'm gettin tired of belivin, even sicker of pretending, that it's not so bad just wait it out, oh, if they can feed me lies again, the only good man left wasn't him, and that's how I feel right now so just let me be…"

- Kelly Clarkson

"I'll drive you back to school, so coach can get her car, and I'll go back to work and she can take you to her place." Mrs. McBride offers.

"Sounds like a plan." Lindsey says.

"Great, thanks Suzie, I'm glad you could help her." Mrs. McBride says, smiling at her friend.

"I hope everything turns out okay for you Maddie." Suzie says, smiling.

"Mmk, let's get out of here." the teen replies and lets Coach Yearwood help her into the wheelchair, push her outside and help her into the back seat of Mrs. McBride's BMW

MRS. McBRIDE'S BMW
EN ROUTE TO MANHATTAN WEST HIGH
11:00am

Madeline buckles her seat belt and waits for the other women to get in. She leans her head back and closes her eyes.

Coach Yearwood turns around to look at her, "Honey, you're sure you don't want to go home?"

"Yes. Please don't make me…. He.. He…" she tries to say, but can't.

"Don't worry about it, we'll talk later." Lindsey calmly says.

"Honey what kind of music do you like?" Mrs. McBride kindly asks.

"Country, please…." the teen begs.

Mrs. McBride nods and turns on her Reba McEntire CD.

Maddie smiles and closes her eyes again.

MANHATTAN WEST HIGH SCHOOL
MANHATTAN, NY
11:05am

Travis Young still sat handcuffed to the chair in Mr. Willis's office. He tried to convince the man that he was innocent, but Mr. Willis didn't believe him.

"Man, if you were innocent, why'd Officer Crow drag you down here himself?" the man asks.

"Dunno, she made it up." Travis lies.

"You're one bad liar kid. If Mrs. McBride hadn't come in here asking if she could call the hospital to bring a girl that she said was assaulted, and wanted to know if Officer Crow had already contacted the police then I might believe you." Mr. Willis informs him.

"I DIDN'T HURT MADELINE!!!!" He screams, only to be joined by the presence of John Munch and Fin Tutuola.

"Well according to Officer Crow, AND Mr. Willis, you have." Detective Munch corrects the teen.

"FUCK YOU!" Travis yells and tries to escape.

"Watch your language kid. We're cops." Fin informs him.

"So what. I didn't do anything wrong." Travis retorts.

"According to everyone else you did." "Travis Young, you're under arrest for the rape and assault of Madeline Hanson. You have the right to remain silent…." Fin says to him, and continues reading his Miranda rights to him.

"Let's get outta here. You've got some serious explaining to do Travis." John instructs.

"Thanks for your help men." Mr. Willis kindly says to the detectives as they leave with the teen.

EN ROUE TO THE 16th PRECINCT
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK
11:10pm

"Olivia…" Elliot calmly says to the brunette woman sitting next to him.

"What?"

"You okay?" he kindly asks.

"Fine El." She says, trying to get him to shut up.

"Do you think Madeline's going to call us?" the woman asks.

"She will, the school will be on top of it. And I know the community will want something done to the kid that hurt her." Elliot reassures the woman.

"She seemed so scared, terrified." Olivia muses.

"I don't blame her, she was raped at her school, Liv, in the middle of class." Elliot replies.

"I just hope we can give her the justice she needs and help her so she feels safe in her own school again." Olivia muses as they stop at a traffic light.

"Everything's going to be fine…" Elliot reassures the woman.

"Whatever you say…" she sighs, and looks at the window.

MRS. McBRIDE'S CAR
EN ROUE TO MANHATTAN WEST HIGH SCHOOL
MANHATTAN, NY
11:15pm

The three women ride in silence the majority of the way to the school. Mrs. McBride drove while Coach Yearwood sent text messages back and forth with Coach Evans, and her friend that was a rape crisis counselor.

Madeline sat still with her eyes closed listening to the calming voice of Reba McEntire that filled the otherwise quiet car.

Mrs. McBride pulls up in front of the school and parks the car. Madeline opens her eyes when the car jerked to a stop. Coach Yearwood turns around and smiles at the teen. "Alright honey, we're not even going into the building. My car is right down there at the end of the row."

Madeline sighed in relief and unbuckled her seatbelt. "My favorite song's almost over…"

Mrs. McBride smiles and leaves the car running. She sees Madeline's lips slowly moving along with the words of the song, 'because of you… I am afraid… because of you..' the woman sighs and waits for the next song to come on before she turns off the BMW.

Madeline gets out of the car and waited for Coach Yearwood. They see Mr. Willis standing outside talking to two men holding Travis in handcuffs.

Madeline sees him and moves so that Coach Yearwood is blocking her view. Mrs. McBride notices what's going on and walks around to their side of the car.

"Do you want me to go see what's going on?" the brunette asks.

"Sure. I'm going to get her in my car and then we're leaving." Lindsey says.

"Don't let him see me… please." the redheaded teen begs.

"I'll try my best honey, The officers have him, he's handcuffed, he can't get to you." the blond woman calmly tells her.

"Okay… can we go?" the teen asks.

"Of course we can honey." the woman says and closes the doors of the BMW. Madeline walks on the side furthest away from Travis so he can't see her. Lindsey puts her arm around the teen's shoulders and leads her to a Lexus minivan.

Madeline opens the passenger door and climbs in, easing herself into the seat. Lindsey looks over at Mrs. McBride, who is talking to Mr. Willis. The woman notices and walks over to them.

"So…" Coach Yearwood asks.

"Well, they're taking Travis downtown to be booked, I let him know she's going to be with you for the time being, until her parents get home." Mrs. McBride informs her.

"Okay. I'll call you after school is done and let you know how she's doing." Lindsey says.

"Okay, and I'll let you know if I hear anything from her parents." Nicole replies.

"That's fine with me. I'm sure she wants to leave." Lindsey says, looking in the window at the teen.

"I'm sure she does, you're good to go." Mrs. McBride says and smiles in the window.

Lindsey walks around the side of the car and gets in. "You ready sweetheart?"

"Yeah, let's get outta here." the teen answers.

Lindsey nods, backs the car out of the parking spot and drives off.
