Saturday early afternoon

I woke up and glanced at the clock. 11:45 am. I was supposed to pick McKenna up 45 minute ago. Olivia should be calling soon, or stopping by. As if on cue I heard my cell phone ringing from across the room, I know it's her. The ringing stops, but the house phone starts up. God I wish I could pick it up, the answering machine gets it for me.

"Alyssa, it's Liv. Where are you?" I hear McKenna in the background. "Alyssa pick up the phone. Sweetie, I know you are home, please answer the phone." There was a several minute pause. "Honey, I am coming over."

The machine clicked off. I started crying, knowing that my best friend was coming to save me. God my body kills; I can't even blink without feeling a sharp pain throughout my body. 20 minutes later I hear the door unlock. Olivia and McKenna walked in. I heard Olivia turn on the TV and sty put. She knocked on my bedroom door. "Alyssa, are you in there?"

I opened my mouth to scream for her but only a little scarred voice that I didn't recognize cam out. "Olivia."

She opened the door and gasped. Grabbing a blanket off the floor she covered up my naked body. I sighed at the warm sensation. "Oh my gosh, what happened?"

"He hit me and raped me." I sobbed as she smoothed back my hair.

She called a bus, then called Elliot and Casey. Thankfully Casey got here before the bus, so that McKenna wouldn't have to see me. I cried harder as I heard McKenna screaming for me.

Olivia rode with me to the hospital. The doctors did a rape kit with me. Elliot tried to get a statement but I was too tired and Emotionally drained. The doctor had to put stitches in my mouth and on my hairline. Luckily my ribs were just bruised and not broken. I had a slight concussion but the doctor said it would go away within a week. Cragen stopped by and gave me two weeks worth of leave with pay. Then I would be on desk duty my first three days back.


Hours later I was released; Elliot had dropped off Olivia's car and hitched a ride back to the station with Cragen. The drive home was quiet. Both of us were too afraid to talk. She helped me into my apartment and on to the couch. "Well I guess I will get out of these scrubs, and then I will go pick McKenna up from Casey's"

"I'll go get her. You stay here and rest."

"Thanks, I think I will go take a shower." I started walking to the bathroom but looked back at Olivia. "What do I tell her? She knows something happened?"

"I'll talk to her."

"Thanks, I owe you."

"No you don't" she came closer to me and gently hugged me. I was the one to tighten the hug. My ribs hurt like hell, but I felt safe. "I am so glad you are okay."

I nodded and let go. She left and I continued to make my way to the shower. The hot water ran over my wounds. After I washed my hair I let the hot water slid down my body. Each droplet fell from my breasts to my stomach and pooled in my belly button before it sunk to my legs and down the drain. I turned off the shower and wrapped a big terry cloth towel around me. I opened the door shivering slightly at the cold draft of air. I went to my bedroom and opened my door. I didn't realized I was crying until I got to my bed which was still the same as when I had been found. I sat on the bed and cried.

A hand slipped over my arms and made their way into the towel. I felt a pair of lips trailing along my neck to my back, following my spine. I felt a hand pull the towel away and the other covering my mouth. I let out a blood-curdling scream and jumped up, only to find no one in the room but me. I picked up the cordless phone on my nightstand and dialed my life saver.

A few rings later she picked it up. "Alyssa, are you okay?"

"I can't"

"You can't what? Honey what can't you do?"

"Stay here, I smell him. I feel him. I see him. Olivia he is every where."

"Sweetie where are you?"

"My room"

"Alyssa, get out of there. Sit down on the couch and I will be there very soon. You and McKenna can come stay with me"

"Olivia I am so scared." I choked out

"I know baby, but you have to stay calm."

"Please hurry."

"I just pulled up to the building."

I hung up the phone and leaned against the hallway door, staring into my room. McKenna walked into the hallway and hugged me. "Are you okay mommy?"

"Now I am. Go pack your suitcases. Get everything you want"

"Why?"

"We are moving in to Olivia's Apartment."

"Olivia, you hear that. We are living with you"

"Yeah. Now go do what you were told"

"Stay here and I will go pack your things." Olivia said touching my shoulder.


2 hours later we were set up in Olivia's three-bedroom apartment. The two were making dinner as I slept in my bed. I told them to eat without me. After the latest events, I didn't have an appetite. After dinner Olivia gave McKenna a bath then got her into bed. She opened my bedroom door. I was staring at the wall. "Hey"

"Hey." I said

"El and the two guys are coming tomorrow to talk to you about what happened. I think I'll take McKenna to the park to give you some privacy."

"Okay." I looked at her and smiled. " You are being really nice."

"Anything for my best friend"

"And McKenna she loves staying here."

"Yeah." She said slowly. "Look Alyssa"

"Olivia, I am not in the mood." I snapped

"Well I am here if you want to talk"

"I wanna talk just don't go all detective on me. Talk to me like a friend, not a victim."

"Okay." She sat down on the floor next to the bed.

I let out a big sigh. " We were fooling around and I told him that I needed to tell him something. I told him that I had a daughter. After a few minutes he got mad and he hit me. I don't know what he was upset about. He pushed me into the wall." I started crying. "He then swung me into the air and threw me across the room. I landed against the wall, I hit my head on the floor. He started kicking me. He dragged me into the bedroom and He..he..he raped me. Again and again and again."

" I am so sorry."

"Don't be. I am just glad McKenna wasn't there to see it." I yawned

"Well we had a long day. Why don't you try to get some sleep.'

"Night Liv."

"Night."
