Cry
A/N: 17 year old Madeline tries to break up from her boyfriend, but he doesn't want to. He likes using her for something that no one should have to go through, and Madeline is terrified to tell anyone. But when he attacks her one day during school hours, she finally lets go. Each chapter is named after a song by Kelly Clarkson. I don't own SVU or Kelly…
Chapter 11: Walk Away "You've got your mother and your brother and every undercover telling you what to say, you think I'm stupid but the truth is that it's cupid, baby loving you has made me this way" - Kelly Clarkson
PREVIOUSLY:"Maddie, sweetheart…"
Maddie doesn't reply, instead Lindsey hears light sobs coming from the teen. "Can… Mrs. McBride still come over?"
"Sweetie, it depends on what time your appointment is…"
"Whatever…." the girl sighs.
"I know you're scared and you're still hurting, I'm going to help you sweetie, every step of the way." the woman reassures her.
Maddie just nods her head and continues to sob, while Lindsey continues to rub calming circles on Maddie's back while they wait for her mother to call back. Lindsey finally notices Maddie's breathing even out and her sobs turn into light whimpers and then silent tears. She then realizes that the teen has cried herself to sleep. She continues to rub the girls back for almost fifteen minutes, but stops when the phone rings.
LINDSEY YEARWOOD'S APARTMENT
MANHATTAN, NY
2:08pm
Lindsey gets up to get the phone and quietly walks out of the room, "Hello…"
"Hi Lindsey, it's Nicole…" the voice on the other end replies.
"Hey Nicole… how are things going at school… did you get somebody to cover for me?" the woman asks.
"Yes, I did. How's Madeline?"
"Sleeping. She's really upset, on the way home from the precinct she asked me to buy a pregnancy test because she hadn't had her period in two months and sure enough, she's pregnant…" Lindsey calmly replies.
"Oh my goodness. I'm guessing the baby's Travis'? have you told her mother yet?" Mrs. McBride says.
"Yes, she was the first person I called right after we found out. She said she'd call Maddie's doctor as soon as we got off the phone and make her an appointment…" Lindsey explains.
"What does Maddie think about this?" Nicole asks.
"She doesn't want to keep the baby… but I don't think she wants an abortion, she might put it up for adoption, but I can't really tell you, because she doesn't know yet. I also told her to wait and talk to the doctor."
"Poor thing, I know this is going to be really hard for her. She's going to have a hard time telling Travis…" the AP replies.
"I'm not letting her tell him face to face alone. She's either going to have to do it in my office, the precinct, or your office. I'm afraid he'll hurt her again if she does it by herself, and she probably won't want to." Lindsey tells her.
"I don't want her doing it alone either. And I'm going to move Travis out of every class they have together or near each other. So basically I'm going to completely change his schedule." Nicole explains.
"Good. That was the next thing I was going to ask. But I don't know what good that will do now, he'll probably be in jail…"
"Hopefully…" Nicole says when she hears a knock on the door. She gets up to open it and sees Brenda. "Hey, Lindsey, I've gotta go, there's a student here to see me. Let me know when Maddie's appointment is so I know if I can come by and see her after school."
"Okay. See you soon…" the woman replies and hangs up the phone. She then hears her cell phone beeping with a new text message.
She puts the house phone down on the counter and starts rummaging through her purse and finally finds her cell phone. She reads a text from Mrs. Hanson that tells her Maddie's appointment is at ten A.M. the next morning and that a note will be faxed to her in ten minutes.
She sighs and grabs a sticky note from the pad by the phone and writes down the appointment time and doctor's name. She then grabs her phone to call her husband to explain what is going on.
16th PRECINCT
MANHATTAN, NY
2:10pm
TRAVIS' POV
"Here I sit in this damn holding cell in some stupid police office because of my retarded girlfriend. She doesn't understand that I do these things because I love her. No one does. Everyone here is on her side, the cops, the principals, even the freaking coaches and teachers that saw me doing that."
Here come two people, one I recognize and one I don't. The guy is the dumb detective that picked me up from school. The lady, I don't know her yet. The guy cop is talking to me now, something about the DNA test I consented to, to prove my innocence. Okay, yes, I'll do this and go home. Big deal. He grabs my arm and leads me to the same interrogation room we were in earlier and tells me to sit down.
The lady, I still don't know her name, but by the way she's looking at this guy, she likes him. I can see it. "Mr. Young, I'm just gonna take a couple of swabs and this will be done in less than ten minutes…" she says to me.
"The name's Travis…" I tell her. "I know." she replies and sticks a cotton swab in my mouth. I just sit there nodding when she says things and swabs different places. Finally she puts the stuff in her black briefcase like kit thing and walks out, winking at the detective.
"I don't know why you guys think I did this… I'm innocent." I tell the detective.
"Man, if the cop hadn't watched Maddie's coach pull you off of her himself, I'd believe you, but I've got about four or five witnesses." he replies.
Another woman enters the room. Another one whose name I don't know. "Fin, we've got something…" she says and the man walks out of the room.
3rd PERSON POV
Olivia shuts the door and says, "While you were in there with Melinda doing the DNA test, Maddie's assistant principal called, she said Maddie's pregnant."
"Damn. I'm guessing this dummy is the father…" Fin replies while waving his arm at the window.
"Spot on. Apparently he raped her two months ago, and she took a pregnancy test after she got back to her coaches' house after they were here and it was positive." Olivia replies.
"So do we tell him?" Fin asks.
"Mrs. McBride said not to let her do it alone, so we may want to wait…"
"We can get him on the first rape too…" a third voice chimes in.
"Wha… Alex?" Olivia replies, shocked.
"Yeah. It's within the statute of limitations, she's pregnant, which gives us evidence." the woman answers.
"You're going to have to talk to Madeline first. And you'll probably have to get a paternity test on the kid to find out for sure that it's Travis'" Olivia tells the woman.
"Alright. How is she doing?" Alex asks.
"Not too good, she's not sure about the baby, and he's been abusing her for almost a year, pretty much the whole time they've been dating" Olivia explains.
"Where is she now?" the ADA asks.
"She's staying with her coach because her parents are out of town and her closest family lives in Pennsylvania.
"Okay. The next time you call her, ask about the previous rape…" the woman says.
"She had a really hard time talking to me when she came here so I could take her statement. I don't know how well she'll be able to talk about the past events." Olivia replies.
Alex hears her phone beeping, picks it up and walks out of the room, smiling at Olivia. The female detective sighs, "This pregnancy is just going to make everything harder for us."
"Don't worry, everything's going to be taken care of. Madeline's in good hands now." Fin reassures her.
A/N: This story is coming to a close. It got about three or four chapters left. Oh, I've had a new idea for a story the past couple of days. What would you guys think if I wrote a story about Liv and El going undercover in a hospital… Elliot being a doctor? Please let me know.
