"You want to tell me what the hell this is?"

Olivia gulped, never had she seen him this angry. "I don't know what you're talking about.", she lied with a trembling voice.

"Okay." Fitz nodded sarcastically. He grabbed her by arm abrasively, pulling her inside before slamming and locking the door shut behind her. He stood down to eye level with her to snarl in her face, "you have a total of 5 seconds to tell me what this is before I lose it!"

Olivia remained silent, her big brown eyes filled with fear as her lips trembled. This was a side to Fitz she'd never seen, and she really didn't like it. His grip was firm and strong on her arm and there was a slight fear in the back of her mind that she might bruise.

"1...2...3...", he hissed getting angrier and angrier with every breath.

"Oxycodone.", she whimpered, trying her best not to cry.

"And the other?!"

"Morphine." The look on his face made Olivia wish the ground would open up and swallow her whole.

"And do you care to tell me what you're doing with two bottles full of drugs?!" Fitz growled at her, he was furious— vein popping, nostril flaring, red faced furious.

"I...", her eyes welled up with tears as he snarled in her face. "I'm holding them for a friend."

"Which friend?"

"Huck.", Olivia knew now that she couldn't lie.

"So he's got you holding drugs for him?!" He roared. "What else does he have you doing?!"

"Nothing!", she cried desperately.

Fitz swallowed, his mind running to the worst possible scenario. "Has he tried to... Has he tried to touch—"

"No.", Olivia shook her head, fighting back the tears which clouded her vision.

"Do you promise me?" He asked her in a more serious and calm manner.

"I promise.", she said softly.

"I don't believe this Olivia." Fitz shook his head and took a couple steps back from her, he put the toilet lid down and took a seat. "I really don't."

The disappointment in his voice killed her, it never bothered Olivia once when her parents or Harrison pretended to be concerned with her wellbeing. However it absolutely broke her heart to see Fitz looking at her like this, she wished her parents or Harrison had found out instead of him— she was sure it would hurt less.

"I...I...", she mumbled trying to find the right words.

"You do realize this is a felony right?" He snapped at her, leaving the two bottles on the kitchen counter. "You know that right?"

"I know."

"If the police came—"

"I'd go to jail.", she whimpered. "I know."

"No Olivia, you'd go to prison. You'd go to prison for a very very long time." He sighed placing his face in his hands.

Olivia swallowed, "I'm sorry.", it'd be a while since she'd given a sincere apology and this was certainly one of those times. There was a physical pain wracking her body as he sat there shaking his head.

He didn't say anything, he simply got up and sighed. "Have you tried any of it?"

"Never.", she admitted honestly. "I've never touched any of it, you have to be believe me Fitz. Those aren't my drugs."

Even though all odds were stacked against her, he did— he did believe her. "This is fucking mess."

"You must think I'm such trash.", she gulped, a single tear making its way down her face.

"No.", he shook his head. "I don't. Do you want to know what I think of you?"

Olivia nodded weakly and he commenced, "I think you're an intelligent, brilliant, funny, lively, beautiful woman Olivia."

His words stunned her, beautiful? Had he really just said that?

"I think you're so much better than this, and I know you know that too. And I think once you start going down this road, you won't be able to turn back."

Olivia nodded, desperately she took the pills opened up the toilet lid, and to Fitz's delight, she dumped the contents of both bottles into the bowl. With a deep and long breath she flushed and watched as the countless white pills swirled around and around until they disappeared forever.

"I don't ever want to—"

"You won't." She said turning to him with pleading eyes. "I promise." Fitz nodded and head for the door silently, "WAIT!", she called out to him as he turned around. "Did you mean it?"

"Mean what?", he asked her for clarification.

"You...you called me beautiful, did you mean it?", as petty as it sounded, never had any man said called her that, and it felt glorious to hear it from his mouth.

Fitz looked at her, letting out a large sigh, "you know I did, I meant every word.", and with that he left silently with a weak sigh. The moment her bedroom door closed all the pent up emotions hit her like a ton of bricks. All the tears being sucked back were finally released and ran like a waterfall, she slid back against the wall until she hit the floor. With her knees clutched to her chest, Olivia sobbed and muffled her screams into her knees until there was nothing left.

"Her god damn phone is off." Charlie growled. His patience was past wearing on thin— he was officially over it.

"I know." Huck sighed, joining Charlie on the couch.

"You know what, fuck her." Charlie said with defeat. "Get my fucking pills off this bitch and let's be done with her. I've had enough."

Quinn was relieved as she sat there silently. Although she wasn't her biggest fan, she didn't want any harm to come of Olivia, and Charlie was certainly not good news. If he'd tried to pursue Olivia any further, she might have had to give the girl some warning.

Huck nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

Charlie didn't reply, he simply grunted and charged upstairs in a huff and puff.

"I'm going to warn her." Quinn said softly once she was sure Charlie was out of sight. "He's psychotic and she needs a warning."

"Don't you dare."

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"She's not answering her phone Quinn, so good luck warning her. If Charlie finds out, I won't cover for you." Huck growled dryly. Not only did he need Charlie as a business partner, but he was also providing him with housing for the summer.

"So what about Olivia?!"

"He said he's dropped it so lets leave it."

"And if he hasn't?!"

"Collateral damage."

He walked right past her without not so much as a word or a glance, and that's what hurt the most. It were as if she weren't even there— that she didn't exist. It'd been a day since he found the pills and she hated being at odds with him.

Olivia watched from the her seat in the kitchen as Fitz fixed himself something from fridge. She'd been crying non-stop since he'd found the pills. Her eyes were bright red, puffy and still pretty foggy. She had rings of ruined mascara which decorated her sad and bloodshot eyes.

He didn't even look up, he kept his eyes firmly on the task at hand. He looked angry; he looked furious.

She didn't know what to say, what she even could say. So she watched him and eventually he turned around, making unintentional eye contact. He looked almost straight past her before heading upstairs without a word. Olivia followed him up, knocking on his door before entering and closing it behind her.

"Tell Huck you'll meet him in an hour to drop that shit off. I have some errands to run, I'll be back in 30 minutes."

"Can we talk?", she croaked out, tears stinging her eyes.

He didn't respond, he didn't know how to. Instead he grabbed his wallet and keys before leaving, closing the door behind him.

She felt like crying again, but she knew it serve absolutely no purpose. Instead Olivia gathered of herself what she could, and made the journey into her room. With her cellphone now turned on she texted Huck about returning the drugs which he seemed to have an interest in.

Olivia let out a large sigh, disgusted with herself and her behaviour. She truly only had herself to blame for the fact that now Fitz hated her, not that she could blame him.

She stepped into the shower and allowed the hot water to caress her skin for what felt like a lifetime, her mind drifting to Fitz no matter how hard she tried not to. Their conversation yesterday, ran in her head on a loop— the look on his face, vividly imprinted on her brain.

After drying off and moisturizing herself from head to toe, Olivia slipped into black V-Neck and a loose pink skirt which ended above her knees. Her hair was tied up into a high ponytail like usual, and her black eyeliner was drawn on thick for the cat eye affect followed by a generous coat of mascara. After a few spritz's a perfume, Olivia made her way downstairs and half an episode of The Office later Fitz opened the front door.

"I'm almost ready.", she said slipping on her chuck tailors. Fitz waited until she tied up her lace and together they walked out to the car. She got into the passengers seat and he started the engine.

"Where are we meeting him?"

"At Roseburry Park." Olivia instructed him, "it's a 10 minute drive." Fitz nodded and began to drive to meet Huck, turning on the radio to ease the tension. Olivia gulped as they neared the park and Fitz pulled into the side of the road. There was Huck standing beside a tree with a cigarette puffing out of his mouth.

Olivia undid her seatbelt, "I won't be long.", she assured him.

"Don't be ridiculous." He said and the two of them got out of the car today, walking over to Huck.

"Olivia!" He smiled at her. "I have to admit I wasn't sure you were going to come you seemed a bit off. Who's he?", he asked referring to the strange older man beside her.

Olivia didn't respond, in fact she didn't even greet him. "Look Huck I don't have your pills."

He laughed humourlessly, "what the hell do you mean you don't have my pills?"

"I flushed them down the toilet." Olivia said bluntly.

"Are you fucking stupid?!" He roared taking steps toward her, only to be blocked by the strange man as he put his arm out in front of Olivia— pushing her behind him.

"You put your hands on her I break your face." Fitz said coldly. "This is how it's going to work, Olivia dumped your pills which means she owes you."

"Damn fucking right she owes me! Do you know how much that's going to cost me?!" Huck roaring with anger.

"How much?" Fitz asked dryly. "How much does she owe you."

"$800.", he said with a grunt.

"$800?!" Olivia barked from behind Fitz. "You get them for dirt cheap off Charlie!"

"You owe me $800 you little bitch or I'll ruin you." Huck stomped his cigarette out on the ground.

"Say that again, and I'll break your face.", Fitz pulled out his wallet and gather 8 $100 dollar bills. "This means you're even, you don't contact her [ever] again, and she doesn't contact you. This is the last time you two EVER need to speak or see each other. Agreed?"

Huck nodded swiftly, "agreed."

Fitz handed him the money, "and if I ever hear your name again or hear of you coming around Olivia, I'll end you; make note of that."

Huck scoffed, "got it. Liv if you know what's good for you, you won't come around again.", he chuckled sarcastically. "Nice boyfriend you got yourself here!"

Olivia remained silent as Huck took off in the direction of his Mercedes across the street. "Thank you.", she whispered softly.

Fitz shot her a weak smile, "never again Olivia I swear—"

"I know, I'm better than this.", she said, believing it for the first time as the words left her mouth. "Please don't be mad at me anymore."

He let out a light chuckle— it was damn hard to stay mad at her, especially when she had those big round brown eyes pleading with him. "Do you not like it when I'm mad at you?"

Olivia shook her head, "not one bit."

"I'll make you a deal, you stay away from all of this, and I won't get mad at you." He told her firmly.

"Deal.", she said extending her hand for a shake.

He chuckled, "I think we're a bit past that don't you?" Olivia giggled as he pulled her in for a tight bear hug, wrapping his arms around her, with his chin on top her head. "Never again."

"Never again.", she said honestly, breathing him in. The feeling of his large body around hers was something Olivia relished in, he made her feel so secure, so protected, so cared for. Within the short amount of time they'd known each other, Fitz had proven himself to care more than anyone she'd ever met— Olivia would be damned if she screwed this up. "Can we talk?"

He nodded, and with his arm around her shoulder they found a quiet bench to sit on. She knew she had to just come out with it, to tell him the absolute truth.

"The night you picked me up from the party, they gave me the drugs. It wasn't just Huck, there's another guy— his name is Charlie. At first he seemed nice but now I'm not so sure. He's obsessive and creepy and I get a really bad vibe from him. They basically shoved the pills in my purse before I even knew what was going on. Charlie won't stop texting and calling me, I turn off my phone most of the time because it's gotten so bad."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I guess I was scared. I didn't know how this would play out. I didn't want to lose you, I didn't want you to hate me. I thought Huck was my friend, I don't have many, in fact I don't have any friends now." Tears were now falling from her eyes and clouding her vision. Her voice was getting choked up and she was finding it harder and harder to speak. "I'm sorry, I'm such a fuck up."

"You have me.", he told her. Fitz was unsure why he did it, and what any of it meant, but he held her hand. He took hold of her delicate hand and held it tight. He wanted to protect her, this feeling of an overwhelming possessiveness came over him when she was involved. "I'm not going anywhere Olivia, I'm not going to leave you."

She smiled and he wiped the remaining tears off her face with his thumb. As she smiled through her tears Fitz took her radiant and natural beauty. She didn't need the black eyeliner she smeared on each and everyday.

"My makeup's running.", Olivia pointed out the black liquid now running down his hand.

"Good.", he told her. "You don't need it." Fitz fixed her up. After wiping her tears, getting rid of the mascara rings under her eyes and tucking some fly away hairs behind her ears, he smiled. "There."

"Thank you.", she took his hand again, wanting as much possible contact with him as she could. Whatever small steps he was taking with their relationship, she would take eagerly.

"I'm not going to tell Harrison, as long as you promise not to EVER get involved with anything like this ever again."

"I promise.", she said wholeheartedly.

"Good." Together they stood up and hand in hand they made their way over to his car. Fitz opened the door for her before walking around and getting in himself. He drove with one hand, the other entwined with hers— it felt right, although it couldn't have been anymore wrong.

Even something simple as just holding her hand had confirmed everything in his mind; there was something between them. He couldn't yet pin point exactly what it was, but there was pull, a pull that felt almost magnetic between them. Each and every time he looked at her, Fitz could feel himself becoming more and more attracted to her, and it was becoming harder and harder to brush off. In the short time he'd known her Olivia had done things that would have most guys running for the hills, but in fact it worked in the exact opposite way for him. If anything he felt even closer to her than ever.

"Where are we going?" Olivia asked as he made a sharp left instead of a right.

"To AT&T.", he told her with a weak smile. "You need a new number."

Olivia laughed weakly as they began to drive. "You're probably right."

"And Liv..."

"Yeah?"

"You're in control of yourself. Don't ever let anyone let you feel like you have to do something, like they have power or control over you, because they don't."

The number you have dialled is not in service. Please hang up and try your call again.

Charlie could feel himself becoming more and more infuriated each time he listened to that recording. Had she really changed her number? Had she really dumped the pills that he'd been so kind as to give her? He was furious. Now he had absolutely no connection to her. She wouldn't even attend the high school Huck was familiar with as she graduated. Neither Huck nor Quinn knew where was she was staying, or even the area. He was furious.

He threw his iPhone against the wall in fury, watching as it smashed to pieces against the brick. There was no way this woman would get away with simply turning his life upside down and then just walking away. He didn't know how, or when, but she would pay. Olivia Pope would pay and he would make sure of it.

Harrison knocked on his sister's door in the early morning before quietly stepping in. Over the last couple of days she'd been behaving strangely— she was quiet, too quiet. It didn't sit well with him, and when she'd broken her phone and got a new one with a new number— he pinpointed it down to exactly what it was. She'd gotten into a fight with her loser friends. This thrilled him as now hopefully she'd move out of this gross rebellious phase.

"Hey." Olivia said, rising and sitting up in her bed. "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah. Are you sure you don't wanna come?"

Olivia nodded her head. Harrison had planned a trip for him, Stephen and Fitz down to Miami for a week and a half. "I'm sure. Have fun.", she said awkwardly.

Something had changed within her. She seemed different, she was different. "Okay. I don't know if Fitz is coming, he wasn't feeling too well this morning. Think he caught the flu."

"Okay." Olivia said, completely and totally gleeful at the news that Fitz was feeling ill, although she had to hide it in her voice. The last thing she needed was for Harrison to catch onto anything.

"Alright, I'll call you when we arrive. There's money in your account and if you need anything just text me I guess.", and with that Harrison closed her door and made her way downstairs. Olivia ran to her door, opening it ever so slightly and watched the situation unfold in the kitchen downstairs.

"I think I'm gonna pass." Fitz said with the best cough he could muster up. "I just feel awful."

She was grinning, from ear to ear.

"Okay man." Stephen and Harrison nodded, understanding him. "If you need anything just call. And maybe if you're feeling better you can join us next week?"

"Sure." Fitz lied. He had absolutely no intention to leave the house, let alone drive 4 hours to Miami.

"Sounds like a plan." Stephen grinned. The three of them said their goodbyes and Olivia watched as Stephen and Harrison strolled out of the house— gone for the next week and a half. Once she heard the sound of Harrison roaring out of the drive way, she bursted down the stairs at the speed of light.

"WOAH!" Fitz boomed with laughter. "I didn't expected you to be up this early. But good, breakfast time."

"How exactly did you manage to catch the flu?", she asked him with a raised eyebrow. Coming into close proximity with him it was now obviously that he was faking it.

"I didn't. But I didn't want to leave you alone after everything that's been going on."

Olivia smiled— relieved. This had to be a good sign. Perhaps he'd finally figured out just how he was feeling. "Thank you.", she was desperate to hold his hand again, but something told her not to. She wasn't sure just how he felt about them and their relationship as a whole.

"I don't know why I keep covering for you.", he said with a sigh. Fitz took a step toward her and Olivia could feel goosebumps on her skin forming.

"You're a good person."

"I care about you.", Fitzgerald Grant said for the first time out loud. He was finally allowing himself to admit the truth, he did care about this girl. "I care about you Olivia, a lot more than I should..."

She didn't care, she threw caution to the wind and grabbed his hand. "I care about you too Fitz.", she said desperately. "I care about you more than—"

Both of their attentions turned to the now ringing house phone. Always something in the fucking way, she thought to herself.

"You should get that." He said awkwardly.

"We're talking that would be rude."

He smiled at her weakly, before slowly dropping her hand to her side. "It's your parents, it would be rude to ignore them. I'm gonna go for a run, I'll see you later."

"Okay.", she sighed and watched as he made his way up the stairs and into his room, closing the door shut.

Olivia ignored the ringing phone, her thoughts solely and only on Fitz. For an entire week and a half, Harrison and Stephen were gone. Mellie was now completely out of the picture, and the drug and Charlie situation had been cleared. She knew if there was any chance of anything happening between the two of them, it'd have to be soon. The timing was finally right.

She liked him, she wanted him. He'd shown more genuine care and concern for her than anyone else she'd ever known— more than her own brother. She needed him to hold her again, she needed for him to kiss her. She needed to feel him in every possible and conceivable way. She wanted him— she wanted him to be her first.

Fitz was sweet, kind and caring. He was admirable and trustworthy. He was quite possibly the most genuine person she'd ever met. There was not one doubt in her mind that she was falling, if not fallen for him completely.

She needed to do something; something to let him know just how she felt. They were alone for a week and a half, and an opportunity like this might not rise again. She needed to do something, she needed to make this work. She had to make this work.

Her thoughts were interrupted at the sound of him coming downstairs, all ready for his run. She suppressed a moan at the sight of his toned back as he said bye and grabbed a bottom of water. Olivia bid him goodbye and watched as he felt and began to jog down the driveway and out of sight.

Once he'd gone Olivia raced up the stairs at a startling speed. She rummaged through each and every bathroom in the house, collecting every last towel. Once in the laundry room she dumped what could fit in washer, and the remaining in the dirty laundry bin.

She smiled at her handy work, Fitz was in for an interesting shower and she'd be the only person around to help. She grinned, skipping back up the stairs. This was going to be a great week and a half.

Soo... I know it's been a long road, BUT there may or may not be a lil sum sum coming up in the next chapter or so... And yes Olivia is immature for stealing his towels, but hey love makes you do crazy things! And I think we'd all steal TG's towel's if we had the chance... Hahaha!

Hope you enjoyed! Leave reviews!

Until next time! x
