I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
It was the next day close to 2 when Alex and Munch walked inside of the clubhouse. They saw that Olivia, Elliot and Casey had already arrived. Alex hugged all three of them with a soft smile.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Casey asked. She had her coat off and her hat on.
Alex just shook her head. She didn't want to talk about it just yet.
"This is a really cool place you guys have." Elliot said as he looked around at the pictures. He smiled seeing that their were recent pictures of Olivia and all of them in various parts of the city.
Munch smiled and said. "Yeah. It's a home away from home."
Alex's eyes watered at that but she tried to blink them away.
But Casey she went over to her best friend and said. "Sweetie. What's wrong?"
Alex let out a breath before she said. "After we left the police station yesterday I came home and found all my stuff on the porch. My parents found out I was pregnant and they kicked me out."
Olivia gasped. She went over and hugged Alex. "What assholes." she whispered as she hugged her.
Alex laughed and said. "But it's okay. I'm staying with Munch. Karen is so cool."
"She gets that from me." Munch said.
"Who gets what from him?" Fin asked as he came in with Huang and Melinda.
"Munch says that his mother gets her coolness from him." Alex said with a eye roll.
"No way. I've meet your mother. She's cooler than you." Melinda laughed. She saw that Alex had been crying. "What happened?"
"Alex's jerkface parents kicked her out when they found out that she was pregnant." Casey said matter a factly.
"But I'm with Munch. So no worries." Alex added quickly. She saw the worry pass over Melinda and Fin's faces.
They both nodded. Soon everyone was seated and popping open bottles of pop that Huang had brought. They took turns bringing things whenever they knew they were going to be at the clubhouse. It was Huang's turn. He had brought pop, cookies, chips and salsa.
"Good haul Hung." Casey said with a smile.
Huang smiled. "Thank you."
He looked at his best friend he blinked as he said. "Casey you didn't!"
"Didn't what?" Casey asked confused.
"You know what take the hat off." Huang said.
"No."
"Why not?" Melinda asked. She wanted to know what was going on.
"Because...it's drafty." Casey said.
"No it's not." Olivia said softly a smile could be seen in her features.
Casey growled but didn't move to take off the hat.
"Cassandra Elizabeth Novak. Take of the hat!" Huang said.
"You didn't just middle name me!" Casey giggled. She waited for everyone else to say something. "Fine." she yanked off the hat. Her once platinum blonde hair was now a dark red with black highlights.
"That looks good." Melinda said.
"Really?" Casey asked biting her bottom lip.
"Of course it does sweetie. But just remember when your hair falls out I will laugh at you. I keep telling you about the damage your doing by changing your hair colors so often." Huang said teasingly.
"Whatever. George Benedictine Huang you just hush." Casey said with a sly smile.
Huang stuck his tongue out.
After everything had calmed down Fin asked the one thing that was on everyone's minds. "Liv? What happened yesterday?"
Olivia got Elliot's hand without even knowing she did. She then said. "I came home from Elliot's house. His dad dropped me off. It was late, and I wasn't even thinking about my parents. Well I walked through the door and he hit me. He kept saying horrible things basically calling me a whore."
"Who?" Huang asked.
"My dad. He kept asking me where I was and what I was doing. Then he pulled out that cell phone we brought a while he accused me off having sex with dudes to get money. I told him it was baby sitting money but he didn't believe me. So he hit me again. Then he was talking about how I could give some old guy the goods and not my own father." she paused as she closed her eyes. "He threw me to the ground and straddled me. He was going to rape me. He ripped my shirt open and he was touching me. I managed to knee him int the nuts and then I grabbed my lamp and I just hit him. I ran out the house and didn't stop until I was at Elliot's house."
Casey eye's were large. She shook her head trying to wrap her head around the whole ordeal. "Why didn't you come to my house?"
"I actually don't know. I was just knew that I had to be far away from that house. I didn't stop, hell I almost got hit by like 3 different cars. Your apartment was just to close to him." Olivia said as she tried to gather all her thoughts together.
"So what's going to happen now? I now that douche is going to get jail time!" Alex said. Yeah sure her parents were major dumb jerks for kicking her out for a mistake but Olivia's parents took the cake on douche bagery!
"Yeah both of them should right? I mean your mom was in the apartment when it happened? She should have tried to help." Melinda said.
"Yeah they both have charges on them. They are in lock up right now."
"What about you? You don't have any other family right?" Fin asked.
Olivia sighed. "I don't know. I have to go back to the police station with Elliot's dad later on today to finish answering some questions. Some lady from child services is going to be there."
"Oh Livvie! What if you have to go into foster care and you have to move away." Casey whispered as she looked at her best friend.
Olivia bit her bottom lip. She didn't know about that. She had been up have the night thinking about so many things. What was going to happen to her parents and what was going to happen to her. She sighed running her hand through her hair. "Yeah. That's possible." she whispered.
"Oh Liv!" Casey cried as she flung her arms around her best friend. She and Olivia had grown close since September.
Olivia hugged her friend back. She laughed when her other female friends joined the hug.
"'Don't worry. My dad is going to try and pull some sort of strings." Elliot said.
"Good." Fin said.
Elliot sighed. He looked at Olivia, he really liked her and seeing her like she was yesterday had scared him shitless. He never wanted to see her like that again. He didn't want to see her taken away either. He really liked her and just couldn't bear the thought of not talking to her face to face everyday.
Soon everyone was back in their original seats. "So what are we going to do now?" Munch finally asked.
"I saw we go and get something to eat. Then we can just go our separate ways." Huang said. He had something planned tonight. But he wasn't sure he was even in the mood for it after hearing about two of his best friends recent troubles. He mentally shook his self. No he couldn't cancel on Noah. He had been excited about their date for a while now. He wasn't going to cancel it.
"Good idea. Baby wants Chipotle." Alex said as she stood up.
Everyone laughed as they walked out of the clubhouse.
Olivia got Elliot's hand as they started walking down the street. She smiled up at him. She truly liked him and she was terrified about what this child services woman was going to tell her later on today. "When is your father going to take me to the station?"
"He said at 4. I'll just text and tell him where we are headed." Elliot said as he whipped out his phone.
Olivia nodded. She saw Casey pouting. She let go off Elliot's hand and got her best friend's hand. "Come on don't be sad Case. Just think happy thoughts. Everything is going to be fine."
Casey wiped her teary eyes as she replied. "But everything is changing this year! I hate change."
"That's weird because are the queen of change." Huang said as he gently tucked at Casey's hair.
Casey giggled and swatted at him.
"Not all change is bad. And most bad changes lead to something good." Olivia said with a smile. She felt Elliot get her other hand. Maybe there really was a light at the end of this dark tunnel she called life.
