Chapter Four: Lately


"Well, I'm a man of many wishes

Hope my premonition misses

But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide

'Cause they always start to cry

'Cause this time could mean goodbye."

Date: Monday March 23, 2015

It was 5:30 A.M. as Olivia was walking through the office doors. She got a call from Huck that she was needed at the office. As she walked in she saw Huck typing on his computer vigorously, she continued walking going straight to the kitchen area. She grabbed some hot water to making some morning tea to wake her up. She was never here this early unless there was an emergency. She walked into her office setting down her purse, as she noticed Abby, Stephen, Harrison, and Quinn walking into the conference room. Them all being here this early only meant one thing, it was an emergency meeting for a client.

She walked out of her office as she heard the elevators chime notifying her someone was here. However, she didn't understand why the guard downstairs didn't call her and let her know someone was on the way up. If the person wasn't OPA or someone that they knew the guard would notify them. She turned her head as she saw two people walk off the elevator. She couldn't believe her eyes at who she was seeing in her office this early. It only meant one of two things, something was seriously wrong or they needed her help. She desperately hoped it was neither but knew that it was one or the other. Why were they here? Was something wrong? All these questions were circling around her head until Huck came out of his office looking at her.

"We need your help, Olivia," said a quiet, soft broken voice.

In front of her was her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Rebecca. She had no idea why Amelia and Rebecca were here; did they need help? She motioned with her hand for them to walk into the conference room. As they sat down, Huck watched from a far waiting for them to explain to Olivia why they are here. Olivia took a seat at the end of the table and took a deep breath preparing herself for what she would hear.

"Go ahead," Amelia said speaking to Rebecca.

"I… I went to a party Saturday night. I got drunk, I smoked weed, and I shot up something. I woke up on the floor naked of some dirty motel. Three hours ago I was playing on my phone when I got this video sent to my phone." Rebecca handed Olivia her phone to show her the video.

It was a sex tape. Rebecca was having a threesome with two guys. They were doing a move on her that people like calling eiffel towering. Olivia immediately recognized one of the boy's voices. It was William, which was Rebecca's boyfriend. Moans continued to fill the room as the sex tape continued to play. Although she didn't want to watch it, she needed to so she knew everything. As she was watching it, she noticed she didn't look like she was enjoying it. She didn't look like Olivia looked when making love to Fitz.

"Were you raped?" Abby asked noticing the same thing Olivia saw.

"No. I mean, I don't know." She looked down, she couldn't look Olivia in her eyes she was ashamed. "I was drunk, I don't remember anything, but I wouldn't have had a threesome willing."

"Okay, All cylinders people. Abby, I want you to go over the sex tape and analyze it down to every single second. Huck, I need you to pull up any and all videos of the party or the streets around the party. Quinn, I need a list of every single person that attended that party and a photo of them placed on the conference room wall. Stephan I need you to take Amelia and Rebecca to the hospital, she needs a pelvic exam, an STD screening, a rape kit, and blood work done to see if she was drugged. Harrison I need you to stay on top of all of the cases, they are important, but this is more important. Got it?" Olivia inhaled a deep breath; she was speaking so fast she was out of breath.

"Got it." Everyone said in unison.

Olivia quickly walked to her office not speaking to Rebecca or Amelia. She was under so much stress; this on top of it was not helping. She ran to her trash can throwing up. She hadn't eaten anything today so she was just throwing up a yellow acid called bile. She sat on the floor as it became difficult for her to breathe, her heart begin to race, and she felt like she was going to faint. She grabbed her purse pulling it down to the floor quickly pulling out the medicine canister. She poured one pill of Alprazolam out and placed it in her mouth immediately swallowed it. Her body instantly relaxed. She took a deep breath, sat on the couch, and closed her eyes.


Fitz walked into Grant Empire at 7:30 A.M. on the dot. He noticed how when he stepped on the elevator how people were looking at him weird. Once the elevator arrived on the twenty-seventh floor, he walked out. He saw in front of him Cyrus talking to his secretaries. As he walked towards them, it got quiet. Lauren got out of her chair to welcome him and hand him the folder of all the information he needs for today's meeting.

"Good morning Lauren, everything okay?" He noticed she looked like she was nervous to be around him or Cyrus. What Fitz didn't know was that Cyrus threatened her not to say anything about Rebecca's sex tape. Part of building was talking about it, because of the high school boys who worked down in the mailroom.

"Great sir," Lauren said back smiling a fake smile as she walked back to her desk.


It was now 4:15 P.M. everyone was still working on the orders Olivia gave them all at 6:00 in the morning. Amelia and Rebecca were back from her doctor's appointment. Olivia had just told them to go home and get rest because tomorrow they had a lot of work to do. Amelia wanted to speak to her first before they left. Olivia opened her office door to let her in.

"Olivia, I don't know how you are feeling, but this is a lot. I don't want to see you in the hospital because this has caused you to have another panic attack. So if this is too much, I don't want you to do it."

"This is too much, but it bigger than Rebecca. This affects Fitz, this affects my husband." Olivia took a deep breath. "We have a problem to solve. One of those boys has that video. He sent it to Rebecca and he's probably just some stupid kid that doesn't understand what he has. However, if he decides to release that tape online, that tape will be everywhere in seconds. It won't just affect her; it will affect everyone, especially Grant Empire. The Grant name will be a joke; the stocks will crash. What was once a multi-million-dollar company will now be nothing more than a punch line, so yes, this is a lot for me to handle! However, my husband, and his legacy are much more important than some panic attack. Cause let me assure you, if this hurt him or his name I will have something even worse than a panic attack. So like I said, I'm fine."


Olivia's phone was ringing. It was from Grant Empire, she knew it wasn't Fitz, he would have called from his cell phone and he would have called her private line number. So it had to be Cyrus.

"Hello, Cyrus."

"Please tell me you are on this Liv. We don't need this tied to Grant Empire it will destroy us."

"I know, and I'm on it. That's all I can say, Cyrus. I have got to go."

Olivia hung up the phone. She begin to cry, she knew that she need to tell Fitz because Cyrus was keeping him out of the loop but couldn't. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. How was she going to handle this without it killing her?


Olivia went home and picked up Gerry and Belle. She had promised Gerry she would take him to TOYS 'R' US. As they arrived at the store, Gerry's eyes got so big. He was on cloud nine. This was what he thought was heaven. Olivia grabbed a blue basket and placed Isabelle in it strapping her.

They walked in down the cars aisle first; there were hundreds of hot wheels cars. He picked up three five packs and placed them in the cart. He saw the Spiderman toy that shoots real web and ran to it.

"Mommy! Look they have it." Gerry said excitedly!

"I see. Do you want it?" Olivia asked him although she already knew the answer.

"YES!" Gerry said grinning ear to ear. He looked just like Fitz, and it made Olivia smile.

"Mommy dog, woof woof woof." Isabelle spotted the stuff animals and noticed the dog one immediately. They walked to the aisle and grabbed the one she had been eyeing. Once Olivia handed it to her, she gave it a huge bear hug.

"Mine mommy," Isabelle said claiming it and letting Olivia know she wanted it.

"Say please Isabelle," Olivia said trying to teach Isabelle some manners.

"Pwease mommy," Isabelle said pouting her lower lip.

"Okay, but you have to be a good girl." Isabelle screeched from excitement because Olivia said yes. Belle continued to hold on for dear life on the stuffed animal smiling.

They went down the electronics next. Olivia bought the kids a Wii for Christmas last year, although Fitz played it more than all of them together. Gerry picked out two video games and proceed to another area of the store. A couple of hundred dollars later she had two very spoiled but happy children. If she were honest with herself, she would pay any amount of money to see them smiling and happy.

DAY 21

Olivia arrived at Dr. Dawson's office exhausted. She was barely able to keep her eyes open driving here. Rebecca's case was draining her emotionally and physically. This was one of her hardest case because it was so close to home. Her judgment was becoming clouded and it was getting worse by the second.

"Good morning, How are you feeling today Olivia?" Dr. Dawson asked.

"Okay, I have a really tough case this week. It's sucking all of my energy. I'm not even getting two hours of sleep a night. So please forgive me if I don't seem engaged in conversation." Olivia apologized.

"That's okay, do you want to talk about last week Olivia?"

"I got some news from my doctor, and it's still taking a toll on me. I haven't accepted it yet; I'm still in denial. So I really don't want to talk about it." Olivia said as not showing any emotion.

"How about your homework. Did you do it?"

"I started but didn't finish," Olivia said.

"You aren't supposed to finish. The list is never ending. There is always going to be something you learn to like or hate, so you will never be done. The only thing I hope is that the 'love' list is much longer than the 'do not like' list. Okay? Alright, I know you need to get to work so I'm not going to assign you homework this week. I just want you to reflect on your marriage, think about it and when I see you next Tuesday we will talk about it.

Fitz was sitting on the couch in Dr. Dawson's office; he could smell Olivia's perfume which must have transferred to the couch from her clothes this morning when she was here.

"Good morning, Fitz! How are you feeling today?"

"I'm confused. I'm getting adjusted to not seeing her or talking to her every day, but can't tell if that's a good thing or not."

"What do you think?"

"I think it's good because I'm gaining independence but sad because I don't want to get comfortable without her."

"Then don't get uncomfortable without her. Think of it as a business trip you only have so many days until you can see and talk to her every day."

"Okay"

"How was your homework?"

"Okay, I'm still working on the 'love' list, I haven't even started the 'do not like' list. I'm trying to remain positive during this, at least one of us has to."

"Okay, I want you to continue to do your list as your homework. Also, I just want you to reflect on your marriage, think about it and when I see you next Tuesday we will talk about it. Does that sound good?"

"Yes! I'll see you on Tuesday."


Quinn had finally completed the wall; every boy that had attended that party had their face taped to the window panels in the conference room. Amelia and Rebecca walked into Olivia Pope & Associates going straight into the conference room. Rebecca stayed in the conference room, but Amelia went into Stephan's office.

Huck walked into the conference room and began speaking to Olivia.

"The video was sent from an anonymous fake messaging app. The username was set up with a fake e-mail address, but I shut the account down. The good news is is that it has to be either William or the other guy who has the sex tape."

"Thank you Huck." Olivia smiled at him, but not a real smile. Huck left the conference room to go back to his office.

"Okay, Rebecca. Do any of these boys look familiar? Do any of them look like someone you would want to have sex with?" Quinn asked staring at all of the men on the wall.

"I was high before I even arrived. One of the boys had dirty blond hair, but that could have been Will. I… I think. I don't know." Rebecca said still staring at the wall, she felt so overwhelmed.

"I smoked something in the bedroom, but I honestly don't remember much after that," Rebecca said now rubbing her forehead; she was now getting a headache when Huck came running back into the conference room.

"She was drugged. There were traces of Rohypnol in her drug screen." Huck stated.

"Okay, this changes everything. If she was drugged, she wouldn't be competent to approve having sex with any of the boys." "ABBY!" Abby came running into the room not knowing what was happening. "I need David Rosen down here immediately we need to have an attorney here.


Quinn and Rebecca were still working on the boys, to try to figure out if she could guess who was the second boy.

"What about this one?" Quinn pointed to a photo.

"No." Quinn removed the photo and pointed to another.

"No."

"No."

"No."

"NO! It definitely wasn't this guy." Rebecca ripped down the photo herself.

"This one is a no," Rebecca said as she pointed to another picture.

"No."

"Maybe this one."

"Or Maybe this one."

"No"

"This one is a no."

Two hours later Rebecca was eventually down to four people. She was staring at this one guy, in particular, she felt like she recognize him.

"Does this one have a tattoo?" Rebecca said pointing at the guy she had been staring at for at least ten minutes. Quinn quickly typed something to search up the full photo. When she was taping them up to the wall, she only had their face, not their body. She continued typing her hands as fast as she could. The photo appeared on the screen.

"Got it, he has a tribal band on his right bicep," Quinn said as she studied the photo on her computer.

"I think that's him," Rebecca said.

"Quinn search up this kid and William. I want to know everything about them or their family within the next hour." "HUCK!" Huck quickly walked into the room. "I need you to set up a meeting with both of the boys families Thursday at noon. Please also make sure David Rosen is present."


David Rosen walked into Olivia Pope & Associates he glanced over into Abby's office, but then proceeded walking straight into Olivia's office. He sat down in one of the chairs in front of Olivia's desk.

"I was told you needed me," David said.

"Yes, I have a client who was under a date rape drug, and was recorded having a threesome. They would like to press charges on two men who did this. The two men with their parents will be coming into my office on Thursday to hopefully sign non-disparagement agreement papers and allow us to delete the file from their devices. However, if they are stupid enough to try and cross me, I want the parents to also be arrested for having child pornography."

"Okay, so the client is a minor," David asked.

"Yes," Olivia responded.

"Okay. I will be here on Thursday." David said getting up to leave her office.

"Can you do me one more favor?" David nodded his head up and down. "Can you have police officers standing outside of OPA to have them arrested immediately? I want my client and her parents to have a sense of relief when they leave my office."

"Of course." David responded as he walked out of her office and out of OPA.


Olivia walked into Stephan's office to see Amelia asleep on his couch. She didn't want to wake her up because it was most likely the first time she has slept in the long time. However, Amelia needed to be kept in the circle. She slightly shook her body to wake her up. Amelia's eyes fluttered open to see Olivia bent over looking at her.

"Rebecca was able to identify the other boy, my team is setting up a meeting Thursday afternoon to get the tape back. I will… I am handling it. We will get them. They won't get away with this I promise."

"Thank you Olivia."

"Go home, and get some rest you will need it," Olivia told her.


Olivia walked into her home at 7:48 P.M. Maya had dinner on the table. She cooked one of Olivia's favorite meal; crab cakes with tartar sauce, roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, and a salad. She sat down in her seat and smiled.

"How was your day Gerry?" Olivia asked after they said their prayer.

"Fun, I talked to Zackary today, and we played with trains. Then Belle and me talked to daddy on Facetime, and he said he was going to take us fishing momma. I never have been fishing and Uncle Preston and Noah are going to go too. Mommy, have you fished before? Was it fun?" Gerry was talking so fast trying to tell Olivia everything.

"That's so cool and momma has gone fishing before, I've gone with Pops and I've been fishing with daddy before," Olivia said smiling at Gerry.

"Who caught more fish? Was it daddy or Pops?" Gerry asked now wanting to know who was the better fisher. Olivia knew that Fitz was an excellent fisher but when they went they didn't catch any fish. They were too occupied with each other to care about catching fish.

"I caught more fish with Pops, but daddy is a really good fisher and I'm sure you will catch a lot of fish with him."

Olivia finished her dinner and went to put Gerry to bed. After his bath, she laid in bed with him reading 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish'. She then went to Belle's room she rocked her to sleep and played the iPod. After the incident at Fitz's house, she recorded herself singing and had Huck download it on the iPod so it would play softly while Isabelle was asleep. Once both of her babies were asleep, she walked downstairs to talk tot her mom. She slumped on the couch next to her mom.

"I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to call Fitz and let him know so he won't be blindsided. However, the other part of me can't tell him. I mean I can't even speak to him because of this break, and even if I could Rebecca is my client and doesn't want him to know. My marriage is messed up enough without this added, I can't have this be the feather that breaks the camels back. What do I do momma?" Olivia began weeping on her mom's shoulder.

"Baby, if Rebecca was Vanessa and Fitz knew things about her. Would you want to know? Would you be mad if he didn't tell you?" Maya asked as she stroked her hair.

"Yes I would want to know and yes I would be mad, but momma…"

"No. No buts, this is your marriage baby."

"I can't momma, this is my job. Yes, my marriage is more important than my job, but my kids are important too, and I can't parent from the inside of jail cell. So as much as I want to tell him, momma I can't. I just don't want this to ruin my marriage."

"Oh, baby..." Maya held Olivia as she cried. She knew Olivia was under a lot of stress, and she just wanted to comfort her.


Date: Thursday March 26, 2015

It was a little before noon and the meeting was about to start. William Montgomery and his parents arrived first. They were sitting in the conference room waiting for the second guy to show up. Just as the clock struck twelve o'clock, the guard downstairs notified Olivia someone was coming up. The elevator chimed to let her know someone was here. Spencer Scott walked through the elevator door with this smirk on his face that Olivia wanted to smack off.

"Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery, Mr. and Mrs. Scott thank you for coming in."

"Seem like our son got himself into some trouble," Mrs. Scott said.

"That's the understatement of the year," Abby said underneath her breath.

"We have had to keep Spencer's troubled adventures under the radar, so it wouldn't effect his college admissions," Mr. Scott said.

"I'm glad to know we are on the same page. The consequences of this tape being released will not only affect your son and your family but a lot of people."

"We are aware of what this tape being released will do."

"Good. So we will sign a nondisclosure agreement, and we will help Spencer permanently delete the file, we will also make sure it not on your cloud network, so no trace of it will remain."

"How much?"

"Excuse me?" Olivia asked not believing what she heard.

"For the video. Vanessa's parent runs the largest multi-million-dollar company. Which I'm assuming is why I'm here so it doesn't affect the company. So how much?" Olivia's was getting angry, she couldn't believe this.

"If you don't mind me asking, why are we here? William doesn't have the video on his phone." Mrs. Montgomery interrupted.

"First off, YOU ARE going to sign the documents because if you don't this man right here," Olivia pointed to David Rosen. " He has the police standing outside with every reported on speed dial ready to arrest your son for rape and distribution of a narcotic. Both of your two sons drugged a young woman and used her body as an object. They both will be going to jail, today. Now you sick sons of bitches can either sign the damn document or not and release the tape. However, if you choose to release it, I will bury you. Every person in America will hate you for humiliating a rape victim on national television and the jury will eat it up. I will have you arrested along with your son for possession of child pornography. I will plant stories; I will do everything in my power to assassinate the very tiny character you have. In the blink of an eye, you will be the most infamous person, and forget about a regular life you won't be able to walk out your front door without cameras flashing in your face." Olivia said as her blood began to boil. NO ONE would threaten the lives of her family, especially her husband.

"William was her boyfriend, the sex was consensual. So my son will not be walking out in handcuffs today." Mr. Montgomery said getting upset at Olivia.

"Rebecca was under a date-rape drug and was highly intoxicated, which the two of the boys knew since they weren't wasted. Her speak was slurred and she could barely walk. They knew she was incompetent and was incapable to consent. So they both will be in handcuffs as they leave my office. Now the question is, do you Mr. and Mrs. Scott want to join your son, or not?" Olivia smirked.

"Here are non-disparagement agreement papers, sign them now," Olivia stated as she slammed the papers down with a pen.


Both boys were placed in handcuffs as they were read their Miranda rights. "You have the right to remain silent." The officer opened the car door. "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." The boys got into two different police vehicles and the police officers shut the door. "You have the right to talk to a lawyer and have him present with you while you are being questioned." The police officers opened their door and got in the front seat. "If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed to represent you before any questioning if you wish." He closed the door and pulled his seatbelt on. "You can decide at any time to exercise theses rights and not answer any questions or make any statements." The police officers drove off to the police station. "Do you understand each of these rights I have explained to you?"


Olivia walked into Stephen's office and looked at Amelia and Rebecca. She could tell Amelia was holding her breath. Olivia nodded her head up and down smiling. Amelia let out a huge breath and began to weep.

"It's over, they signed the non-disparagement agreement papers and both boys were arrested as they stepped foot out of the office. I have handed over all of the evidence, including the sex tape over to the general attorney. It's all over."

"Thank you so much Liv." Rebecca went running to Olivia hugging her as tears spilled down her eyes.

Rebecca grabbed her things walking out of the office, Amelia embraced Olivia again before she left and mouthed 'Thank you'. As Olivia stepped into her office she let out a deep breath she didn't know she was holding in. She started doing the breathing techniques she looked up online. Just take a deep breath through the nose Olivia, and breath out of your mouth.


Date: Friday March 27, 2015

Olivia kissed Gerry on the lips as she dropped him off at his classroom. Whenever she had the time, she would walk him to class. She watched him put his backpack and lunch kit in his cubby, and then walked straight to Zachary and speak to him. She could see how much happiness her son brought to him by just being a friend to him. Olivia walked back to her car, buckling Isabelle in. She was wondering if she should take Isabelle to daycare or have a girl's day with her. She decided to forget daycare and spend the entire day with her daughter.

Once she got home, she went upstairs into her daughter's room and started to play with her. She was getting her baby dolls out, but Isabelle didn't want to play with her baby dolls. She wanted the blocks, she was trying to stack them, but she couldn't get more than three without the pile toppling over. She was getting upset. Olivia helped her and stacked the blocks up.

"Bye, Bye," Isabelle said before she knocked the pile of blocks down. Once the blocks were flying across the room, she started giggling. She looked back at Olivia and giggled even more. Olivia kept playing this game with her just to hear her laugh and see her smile. This right here was better than any medication a doctor could give her.


Fitz stepped into his office to check if he had a package on his desk, he had been expecting for this package to arrive at the office since Monday. For some reason, the mailroom wasn't being on time with the mail since the beginning of this week. He decided he would walk down to the mailroom himself. As he turned the corner towards the mailroom, he could hear a conversation.

"… I heard she was selling her body to them boys for attention."

"I think she was just angry that no one was paying attention to her because her daddy didn't own the company anymore."

"Rebecca even made a sex tape with the boys. I heard what she did, I'm mad I missed the party, I wish I would have got in on some of the action."

Fitz was disgusted; he couldn't believe that his sister made a sex tape. However, he knew that if she made a sex tape, other people knew like his mom and Cyrus. He was so irritated at Cyrus and his mom for keeping this a secret. Pause. Wait, the tape hasn't been leaked to the media, which implies only one thing. Olivia knew too. He was furious; she was his wife she should have told him. He should have found out from her mouth, not some disgusting adolescents. He couldn't believe his family.

He stormed into his office grabbing his briefcase; he walked back downstairs and left. He was going to his mother's; he was going to find out everything that happened.


Fitz stormed into his mom's house. He slammed the door on the way in. As he marched into the kitchen, the two people he was looking for were sitting at the kitchen table eating.

"Is it true?" He stared at Rebecca straight in her eyes. She lowered her head so she didn't have to look at him.

"IS IT?" He asked now shouting.

"Yes!" Amelia replied.

"So Rebecca believes it's okay to go and have sex with two boys and film it. This could have destroyed our name, the corporation that our great grandfather started. Do you even care? The multi-million-dollar company they created with their two hands and a few hundred dollars would have been ruined by you because you couldn't keep your legs together." Fitz was angry. He was pissed. His face was becoming red. He couldn't believe this.

"FITZGERALD THAT IS ENOUGH! I don't know who told you this, but you have the story incorrect. For one, you aren't going to march into MY home and disrespect your sibling like that. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?" Fitz nodded his head.

"Rebecca go up to your room." Amelia waited until Rebecca was up the steps before she resumed her yelling at Fitz.

"You sister was drugged and raped, but do you care? NO! She didn't want to tell you because she didn't want you to know. She doesn't want anyone know because she will have to constantly hear about it or will have to talk about it."

"Ohh, but she will tell Olivia? Okay." Fitz said rolling his eyes.

"You don't understand, everything she does you judge her! Olivia doesn't and I needed someone who could manage this, someone who could control this! Your wife is the best and you know it. You should be thankful that she was able to comfort your sister and have both boys who drugged her and raped her put in jail." Amelia was so upset with Fitz. How could he come into her home yelling and screaming? He was completely disrespectful to her, and that was not acceptable.


Olivia was packing the kids bags. She was meeting Fitz at his mom's home tonight. They were going out into the middle of the woods and they wouldn't have any phone service. She wouldn't be able to talk to them in over forty-eight hours. She was sad, but she knew they would have a wonderful time, so she didn't say anything. Just as Olivia was almost done packing her phone started to vibrate, it was Abby.

"Hey, Liv."

"Hey! What's up?"

"Quinn and I were going to get a manicure and pedicure. We wanted to know if you wanted to go?"

"Yeah what time?"

"7:00 P.M."

"That's perfect I will have just dropped the kids off with Fitz. See you then. Bye"

"Bye, Liv."


Gerry was playing with Isabelle while Olivia was getting everything together for them. The house was filled with her children's laughter, something she would never get tired of hearing. Gerry was pretending to chase Isabelle around her the house while Isabelle was screeching with joy trying to get away from him.

"Okay let get in the car to go see daddy," Olivia said.

Once the children were in the car, she buckled them up and drove to Amelia's house. As they pulled up, Isabelle recognized the house and started screaming "GIGI." Olivia grabbed the children's bags and stepped inside. Preston was at the front door and took the bags out of her hand and went and put them in the truck. Isabelle was speaking to her Gigi when Olivia was jerked into the library.

"WHAT THE HELL?" Olivia stated.

"Did you ever love me?" Fitz asked not yelling, not showing any emotion.

"What?" Olivia couldn't believe he was asking her that.

"Did you ever love me? It's a yes or no question." Fitz said now raising his voice higher.

"Why would you even ask me that? Of course I did, I DO." Olivia replied as her voice was cracking.

"You can't tell me that you do or that you ever did love me!" Fitz screamed. "My sister was RAPED! RAPED, OLIVIA! And you didn't think that you needed to tell me?" The rest of the house could now hear their entire conversation.

"We are supposed to be on a break, we are supposed to not be speaking to each other. Plus, she didn't want you to know. I can't go against my clients wishes no matter who you are." Olivia replied screaming as a tear escaped her eye.

"So you honestly expect me to believe that. You expect me to believe that if we weren't going through a divorce that you would have came home, got into bed and pretend that what happened at your job didn't happen. You are full of shit!"

"FITZGERALD! I'M YOUR WIFE. I will not sit here and allow you to be disrespectful and cuss at me."

"MY WIFE? No, you aren't. I don't know who this woman is but it's not my wife. MY WIFE would have told me about my sister. THIS," He pointed at her "IS NOT THE WOMAN I MARRIED. So you are right. Maybe we should get a divorce. We only have five months and we get exactly what the two of us want because I don't want to be married to you any longer. You are a self-centered, selfish BITCH…"

"THAT IS ENOUGH FITZGERALD. YOU WILL NOT TALK TO ANY WOMAN IN MY HOME LIKE THAT. GET OUT AND WHEN YOU WANT TO APPOLGIZE YOU CAN COME BACK!" Big Gerry hollered at him. He didn't appreciate how Fitz had been disrespectful to both Rebecca and Amelia this morning and damn sure wasn't going to tolerate him being that way to Olivia.

Olivia kissed the kids and hugged them tight. She told them how much she loved them. As she watched them walk out of the house with Fitz. Tears were flowing down her face faster than they ever had before.


Olivia walked to her vehicle, got in and called Maya. Ring. Ring. Ring. Finally on the third ring she answered. All she could hear was Olivia hysterically sobbing.

"Liv"

"Liv, Baby."

"Momma, he hates me. He… he said he wants the divorce; he doesn't want to be married to me anymore. He… he hates me, momma. Momma, I can't do this."

"Olivia calm down baby."

"MOMMA! I can't handle this!" Olivia said bawling her eyes out. Maya could hear her sobbing on the phone, and it was shattering her heart.

"Olivia breathe for me, take deep breaths in and out."

Olivia was still hysterically crying. Maya talking on the phone was doing absolutely nothing. Olivia couldn't understand a word she was saying. All Olivia could hear was Fitz's voice yelling at her.

"Olivia listen to me. Calm down."

Olivia started her car driving out of Amelia's house needing to get as far away from everyone as possible. She had been on the road for five minutes. Her mom was on the phone telling her to breathe in and breathe out, but Olivia couldn't calm down. Olivia's chest was tighting, her fingers started to tingle, she could barely breathe. She was having a panic attack. Olivia was still sobbing when, 'BOOM'. It was silent.

Olivia's car was struck by an eighteen-wheeler on the passenger side. The car was spinning uncontrollably, Olivia's head banged against the steering wheel making her begin to lose consciousness and have a major headache. Maya couldn't hear Olivia, she wasn't talking, she wasn't crying.

"OLIVIA!" Maya screamed for her now crying.

"OLIVIA!"

"OLIVIA!"


AN: PLEASE DONT HATE ME. So there is a cliffhanger, a BIG cliffhanger, I'm sorry. A lot of stuff happened in this chapter. (Yes, I loosely based it off of season 4 episode 4). I will be updating the next chapter on Monday. What do you think is going to happen to Olivia? Will Fitz find out about the accident or not? How will he react? Any review are welcome, and if you have any questions I will respond the best I can without spoiling it. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING! :)
