I love this chapter...i hope you do too..

please review...im lonely

After their breakfast, Elliot and Olivia decided to play a little bit of guitar hero while they waited to go out and walk. Olivia had a good time and she could be mostly immobile while they played.

Elliot called his father and asked about the walking in the park idea, and Joe told him to wait, until they returned home. Olivia was okay with it as long as she got to go out and walk

Bernie came home from the school she taught at and made dinner. Olivia asked lightly if she could watch. Bernie said of course and helped her into the kitchen.

"What are you making, Bernie?"

"I was thinking about pork chops, is that okay?"

"Perfect." Olivia smiled and watched Bernie work her magic. They talked continually until Bernie was almost done, and Jake walked in, from his day at the college library.

"Hey, Liv."

"Hey, Jake." He bent down and hugged her extremely lightly.

"What you doing?"

"Watching your mom cook dinner, and waiting on your dad to get home so he can approve me getting out of here and walking." Olivia smiled and Jake returned it.

"What, is my brother boring you?"

"Hey, I heard that." Elliot came in the door directly behind Olivia.

"I was kidding, El, calm down." Olivia looked up at Elliot and smiled and returned to Jake's direction.

"He couldn't bore me."

Elliot smiled and placed his hand onto Olivia's right shoulder, and gave it a tiny sqeeze. She reached up and covered his hand.

"Dinner's ready." Bernie carried three plates to the table and laid them out with the already set table. As if on cue, Joe walked in and sat down at his place.

Everyone sat down, Joe and Bernie took the ends and Elliot sat next to Olivia while Jake sat across from her.

Soon everyone took hands and bowed their heads. Olivia wasnt shocked but it was a little surprising to see people actually praying at the table. She was raised by a mother who never went to church and in turn never went to church herself. Olivia looked around the table and saw everyone. No one was looking up or had their eyes open. To Olivia it felt a little weird, sitting here watching the rest of the family pray.

Olivia could tell Joe was reaching the end of the prayer, and so she bowed her head and closed her eyes too. "Amen."

She released hands with Elliot and Joe and smiled.

It was a decent dinner. Everyone finished quickly and then everyone minus Olivia helped clean up, and they had it all done in less than fifteen minutes.

"Joe?"

"Yes, Olivia?" Elliot was helping Olivia back into the main room and was catching him as he switched the lights off

"I was wondering if we could take that walk, I'm dying to go outside."

Joe sighed and then nodded, "I did say we would. Bernie, Jake, want to go with us?"

Jake jumped up and nodded brightly, "Hell yes." Olivia giggled.

Bernie shook her head, "I promised I would call Dana, about tomorrow's lesson plans, you guys go ahead."

"Alright, lets walk around Kissena Park, and back here, your mother is still out there, we need to be careful."

Olivia nodded. Elliot grabbed his coat, and shrugged it on quickly, than turned to help Olivia put on her sweater.

Jake and Joe walked out first followed by Elliot and Olivia. Once outside Elliot held his arm around her waist. She grabbed his other hand and held it for stability. They walked across the street, and walked into the park.

It was nice outside. Mild but not too cold or hot. It was pleasant and although Olivia was in pain again, she didn't let them see the pain smear her face, for fear of being stuck in the house again.

She took a big smell and smiled at the smell of the New York she knew and loved. Elliot smiled down at her, as he continued to hold her hand and her back.

They returned to the house, and Olivia yawned. "Sleepy, Liv?"

She looked up at Elliot and nodded. He smiled and helped her up the stairs to his room. After quickly getting dressed, he helped her onto the bed and sat next to her until she fell asleep.

"Elliot?"

"Yes, Liv?"

"I'm worried."

"About what?" Elliot head cocked sideways, and a look of concern hinted on his face.

"My mother is still out there, and I don't know what she'll do. I appreciate what your family is doing for me, but I don't want any of you to get hurt because you interfered." Olivia placed her hand on her side and held it.

"Listen, Liv, we are doing this because we don't mind. Besides I practically begged my parents to do this."

"Why? Why would you want to help poor old me?" Olivia gave him a weird look.

"Because Liv, I really like you. I don't want anything to happen to you." He placed his hand on her bruised cheek, and gently rubbed it.

"What about Kathy?"

"I broke up with her while you took a shower this morning. What she did last night, really was stupid, and I don't think I can forgive her for it." His eyes showed true emotions, and it broke her heart as she realized he was blaming himself for Kathy's stupidity.

"Don't blame yourself, it was her fault, not yours." Elliot smiled down at her. He rubbed her cheek again.

"Go to sleep, Liv, we have to go to school tomorrow." She nodded and he got up, and laid down on his mattress in the other corner.

"Mom?" Olivia looked around and noticed she was in a tiny barren warehouse. In her mothers hand was a gun and Elliot kneeling in front of her. Fear welled up over her as she realized Serena was holding Elliot hostage. "Mom what are you doing?"

"Taking him from you like they took you from me." Serena put the gun to Elliot's temple, and pulled down the hammer.

"Wait." Olivia called to her mother continuing to stare at Elliot's face as he most certainly faced death at the hands of her own mother.

"Why should I Olivia?"

"Because I love him." Olivia looked into his face and for the one moment in this pitiful situation, he looked happy to hear those lovely words. She mouthed I'm so sorry to him and he nodded. He closed his eyes and while Serena laughed on, she pulled the trigger, causing Elliot to land softly by her side on his stomach.

"No!" Olivia bolted upright causing her side to sear in pain, and Elliot to jump ten feet in the air. After getting his bearings, he rushed to her side as Olivia began to hyperventilate from the dream that now plagued her mind.

"Olivia, what is it?" He sat beside her and held her face in his hands. "Please talk to me." He wiped a tear off her cheek and looked at her scared that something was really hurting her.

"Bad dream…I thought…you died…my mother killed you…Oh my God…" Olivia started crying, and she curled up into his arms. She finally felt safe in knowing he was still alive.

After a few more minutes, Elliot pulled her up to look at him. Her puffy red eyes sprouted more tears and he wiped them off.

"Im still here, nothing is going to happen."

"Stay with me tonight. I need to know your really safe." Olivia was practically begging, and Elliot couldn't deny the fear and pain etched into her face.

"Of course, Olivia." He laid down and she curled into his side making sure the wound that still plagued her side wasn't going to get hurt from the position she was in.

Elliot wrapped his arm around her and she snuggled closer into his chest.
