Please review!
As soon as everyone left, Bella went to the bathroom. Elliot kissed Olivia. "Are you going to talk to her?"
"Yeah, might as well do it now when she won't make excuses to leave." Olivia whispered. "Where are you going to go?"
"Well, I'll probably listen from the kitchen. If she wants me to, I'll be in here." Elliot whispered back putting his hands on her hips.
Olivia sighed. "What if she hates me for this?"
"Oh please, she can't hate you. She loves you too much." Elliot smirked. "You'll be fine."
"Easy for you to say." Olivia huffed. She kissed his nose right before hearing the bathroom door open.
Olivia moved away from Elliot slightly. He kept his arm around her waist. Bella walked in hugging herself. Olivia's heart broke at the site. "Bella, it's time we talk."
Bella froze in her steps. "Uh, I have to-"
"Bella, there's nothing you need to do. You had a good twelve hours of sleep; you just ate and went to the bathroom. Right now, you have to talk." Elliot said.
Bella looked like a lost puppy, but quickly composed herself. Her eyes were filled with pain and fear of remembering everything. "Why are you making me do this?"
"It will be better for you later. Trust me, Bella." Olivia said.
Bella ran a hand through her hair and let out a shakey breath. "Fine, just you and me."
Olivia looked at Elliot who nodded. He walked into the kitchen leaving Olivia to talk to Bella. Olivia sat down on one end of the couch waiting for Bella to join her. Bella slowly walked over and curled into a ball at the other end of the couch. She kept her eyes trained on the window. "What do you want to know?"
"Let's start with what he did. That's really all I need to know. Cragen is going to want more, but I just want to know what he did." Olivia said.
Bella closed her eyes briefly. "He didn't rape me."
"There's a start." Olivia said, encouraging her to continue.
"Lowell... he took me to a seperate room. Once he untied me, he pushed me into the wall and... held himself against me. He said that he would have his revenge for his years in prison." Bella said wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "I wrapped my leg around his and pulled it forward. He fell on the ground. I ran to the door to get back to Chip. He yanked me away from the door and threw against another wall. I yelled no."
Bella hugged herself tighter. "He said I was just like you, only difference was that there was no one to help me. That's when I realized who he was. He kept talking about how I reminded him of you and Dad. I didn't have time to react when he jumped onto me. He trapped my legs under his. He held my hands above my head. I told him to get off. He soon took out a knife. I freed my arm and punched him again. He rolled off of me. I got up and kicked his head over and over again until he passed out. Chip came in a few moments later."
Olivia was tearing up with her daughter at this point. "What happened when we found you?"
Bella let out a sob and retreated further into the couch cushions. "I woke up hanging from the ceiling. Lowell... he was running his hands down my legs. I kicked his stomach. That's when I noticed his pants were down. I closed my eyes until I felt his hand on me." Bella's hand shook as she put some hair behind her ear. "I kicked him again and that's when he shot my leg. He started coming at me again when we heard you guys come in. He pulled up his pants right before Amanda, Nick, and Munch came in."
Olivia was crying at this point with Bella. Bella finally looked over at Olivia. "He took something from me and I don't know what it is."
Olivia nodded and mouthed. "I know."
Bella let out a sob and huddled into Olivia's embrace. She wrapped her arms around Olivia's waist. "Dad can come in now."
"Elliot." Olivia managed to croak out.
Olivia and Bella watched Elliot come in with tears running down his face. Bella held out her arm for her father to join. Elliot went over and held Bella and Olivia. "I'm so sorry, Bella." He whispered.
"Don't say that." Bella whispered. "I don't blame you for this, neither of you."
Elliot kissed his daughter's head. "I don't know I deserved a daughter like you."
"It's simple. You have me." Bella said. "I have to tell Cragen this, don't I?"
Olivia sighed and leaned her head against Bella's. "I'm afraid you do."
"I'll go change and we can go." Bella said getting up and going upstairs.
Olivia looked at Elliot. He looked right back at her. "That sick son of a bitch did practically the same thing he did to me."
Elliot wrapped his arm around her. "I promise you, I'm going to keep you and our daughter away from that guy."
"I know, El. You already tried killing him once. I had to restrain you." Olivia said.
"Well, you're my wife. I will do whatever it takes to protect you and our family. I love you too much." Elliot whispered into her hair.
Olivia smiled. "I love you too." She kissed his nose.
Bella came down a moment later. "Let's get this over with."
Please review! I love you guys! Wish me luck. I'm trying to convince my parents to let me go to New York this summer for a college credit. It's a lot of money. Fingers crossed!
