Enjoy!
*Two Days Later*
"Liv!" Jake yelled, banging on her door. "Olivia! I know you're in there." He kept banging. "No one's heard from you in two days. If you don't let me in, I'll kick down the door."
"What?!" she yelled, opening the door.
"Look who finally answered."
"Leave me alone." she said, as he walked into her apartment.
"Excuse me, what part of leave me alone don't you understand?"
"I've left you alone for almost a week now. Huck called me and said that no one's heard from you in two days. I was worried so I came to check on you."
"As you can see, I'm fine. You can leave now."
"Olivia, stop. What is wrong?"
"It is none of your business."
"What the hell did I do to receive the cold shoulder Liv? I've done nothing but be there for you every time your precious boyfriend did something wrong. I'm tired of playing second fiddle."
"Why didn't you tell me about my mother?"
"What? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't act fucking stupid Jake! You told Fitz that he killed my mother."
"He told you about that?"
"Yes he did. But apparently you've known longer than he has. So tell me, if you care about me so much, why do you continue to lie to me and why didn't you tell me yourself?"
"Because it was his mistake to own up to. You didn't need to hear it from me. You deserved to hear it from the man himself. Don't get mad at me for something that he did. Being pissed at me isn't going to bring her back."
"Get the hell out of my apartment." she ordered.
"Liv, no. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I'm just tired that no matter what I do, Fitz always comes out on top. He is married, I'm not. He leaves you and puts you through hell and I don't. He kills your mother, and he's still better than me! What can I do? Nothing I do is ever good enough. I know you love him. I know how hard it is to love someone else when you're still in love with someone. But I can give you so much more than him. I can be there for you, love you, protect you. If I could bring your mother back, I would. If I could go back in time and stop Fitz from going to Iceland, I would. But I can't. All I can do is be here for you now."
"I can't do this!" she yelled. "I'm so damn confused. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that Fitz is responsible for my mother's death. I can't come up with a logical reason as to why the government would order to shoot her plane down. I just…oh my God."
"What Liv?"
"My dad. It all makes sense now." she said, running around the apartment grabbing her things.
"What's going on?"
"I need to see my father."
"I'll come with you."
"No, I need to do this alone."
"What did you do to my mother?" Olivia yelled at Rowan/Eli as he opened the door to his house.
"Olivia, good to see you too. Come in dear."
"Answer me!" she yelled.
"Come. In." he ordered, as she did what she was told.
"Why did you order Fitz to kill mom?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Fitzgerald Grant shot down mothers plan on government orders. I've been trying to figure out why they would do so for the past two days. It was a passenger plane, not a threat. The only thing I can come up with is that it was you. You had my mother, your wife, killed."
"You do NOT come in to my house and start making accusations. What did I tell you before? Do not push me."
"Just tell me! What could mom possibly have done to you to make you hate her so much? What did she do to deserve to die?"
"She had an affair!" he yelled.
Olivia was taken aback. "What?"
"Nine and a half months before you were born, she was screwing someone behind my back. Then, she suddenly became pregnant, claiming that it was mine. It wasn't impossible, considering we were married, so I never doubted her. Two weeks before the plane accident, I found out that she had been carrying out an extramarital affair since before you were born. I did a DNA test on us that you didn't know about. Those tests proved that you are not my daughter. I was furious. I wanted revenge. Your mother and her lover were taking a trip to Iceland. Your mother claimed it was "for business." I knew damn well that it was not. So I ordered the Navy's best pilot to do my dirty work."
"I…I can't believe this."
"Olivia, I was a different person back then. I was a mean, vengeful person."
"You still are! How can you say you were a different person? You're still mean and vengeful. You're not…you're not even my father!" she yelled, tears filling up her eyes.
"Who has supported you for 32 years? Who paid your law school debts? Who paid for boarding schools? Who protects you? Who has loved you? I have! Not no one else."
"You're right. You have supported me. You did pay my school loans. You sent me from boarding school to boarding school. But Fitz…Fitz protects me and loves me. He treats me better than anyone ever has. He is more of a man than you will ever be! And what you made him do…you ruined him! He has regretted what he's done since he found out. You made him kill 300 innocent people because you were jealous. I was so mad at him. I have hated him for the past two days. But you're the one that I should hate. You're the one that I should never have any contact with again. You're not even my real father! I hate you, I despise you, and I never want to be bothered with you again." she said, walking towards the door.
"You walk out of my life and Fitzgerald Grant is a dead man!" She slowly turned back around. "That's what I thought. Sit down."
She did what she was told.
"You forget how powerful I am Olivia. You forget how if I want someone gone, they mysteriously disappear. I got Jake out of that hole and I can easily put him right back there. I gave Huck back to you, I can take him back just as well. I already made him kill again. I'm sure I can find him a nice new job doing what he loves."
"Don't you dare. Huck is a good guy. He doesn't deserve that. Don't punish the people that mean the most to me because I want nothing to do with you."
"Then let's make a deal. You pretend like none of this ever happened. You continue to not talk to the President and Sunday dinners are still on the table."
She took a deep breath. If she wanted to keep the men in her life safe, she had to make a huge sacrifice.
"Deal."
Thoughts? Concerns? Hope you all liked it! :)
