Dear Best Friend// Olivia Rodrigo x Emily

XVIII

Emily drove in the drive-thru.

-Don't look back, okay? As long as she thinks we don't know that she's here we'll be fine. They are probably almost here. We need to stall., said Emily only seeing two cars in front of them.

-I know. But I'm scared, Em. She tried to murder my dad and she may have succeeded. What if he dies? What if she tries to hurt us?, rambled Olivia putting her head in her hands.

-Liv, breathe. Nothing is going to happen. Your dad is a fighter, he won't give up knowing that you're still here. And he's too stubborn to die., replied the younger girl trying to lighten the mood.

-I'm scared, Em. Really scared., repeated Olivia once again.

-I know. I know and so am I, but as long as we stay away from her and as long as she doesn't decide to get out of the car, we'll be safe in here. You'll be safe with me. I guess my 5 years if self defense could come in handy., said Emily with a soft tone.

They heard sirens.

-Shit, why do they have their sirens on? She's going to know! She can't escape!, yelled Olivia opening the car's door.

-Liv, get back inside!, ordered Emily but the older girl was already walking towards her mom's car.

-Shit., cursed Emily getting out of the car as well and running after Olivia, as Hobi started barking.

The mother got out of the car, a knife in one hand and a screw driver in the other. Emily pulled Olivia back by her wrist and got in front of her.

-Finally. Time to end this. Time to end you. Time to end this family., said the mother as she took a few steps towards her.

-Hey, step back!, yelled Emily holding Olivia behind her.

-How could you! How could you hurt dad!, argued the older brunette.

-It was quite easy to be frank. All I had to do was to wait for him to fall asleep on the couch. Unfortunately, the neighbors heard him scream and called the cops and I had to run away. I'm here now to finish it once and for all., said Olivia's mom.

-They only thing you're finishing today is your fucking freedom. I won't repeat it, step back., ordered Emily firmly.

The sirens sounded louder, meaning they were getting close.

-Emily, step aside. I'm only here for her., sighed the mother.

-Do I look like I care? If you don't step back, I swear you'll get hurt., replied the younger brunette not noticing Olivia stepping aside.

-I warned you., said the mother running towards them swinging the knife trying to hurt Emily.

The brunette stepped back, now being next to Olivia. But she didn't notice it. She thought she was still behind her, until the mother maniacally longed towards Olivia. The older brunette's only reflex was to put her arms up to protect her head. Her mother managed to scratch her twice, then changed the grip on the knife and tried to stab Olivia. Tried being the keyword. Emily hit her leg, making her lose balance, then pulled her back, grabbing the knife by the blade, feeling the pain of the cold metal going through her skin and managed to disarm the mother. She was now on the floor, Emily next to her with a bloody knife. The cops finally arrived, got out of the car and pointed their guns at Emily. Hobi started braking wildly in the car.

-Ma'am, put the knife down., ordered a policeman.

-What? If I do that, she'll grab it and-, tried Emily.

-Put the knife down., repeated the officer.

Emily clenched her jaw and threw the knife on the floor.

-Turn around., said a policeman.

-We were the one who called you! She didn't do anything wrong! She protected me! My mom is the one who hurt her! She tried to stab me! She fucking came here to kill me! So leave my girlfriend alone or I swear I will sue you!, yelled Olivia.

-Calm down. We arrived and she was armed, that's all we know. We didn't mean to jump to conclusions. Forgive my partner., replied the other policeman.

-Step away from the mother then., ordered the officer.

Emily did as told and stepped away, walking towards Olivia and hugging her, making Hobi stop barking.

-Are you okay?, asked the younger brunette.

-Yes, I am. Are you? You are hand was really bloody. I can't believe you actually just grabbed the knife by the blade., replied Olivia hugging her back.

-I'd do anything to keep you safe, Liv. Let's just go to the hospital like we were supposed to and get your scratches cleaned., said Emily pulling away from the hug and looking her in the eyes.

-Sounds like a plan. Let's get in the car., nodded Olivia agreeing.

-Wait. Wait! She has a screwdriver!, remembered Emily, turning around, seeing the mother pulling it out as she heard Emily scream it.

The officers took their guns out and pointed at the mother.

-Don't shoot her!, screamed Olivia.

-Put the screwdriver down., ordered an officer.

-No! Never!, yelled the mother.

-Don't you have a taser?, frowned Emily.

-She's right., nodded the other policeman, pulling it out and shooting at the mother, making her fall to the floor groaning.

Olivia gasped and turned around hugging Emily, not wanting to see that. Emily simply put her head on Olivia's shoulder and watched the officers take the mother away and putting her in the car, hugging her girlfriend tightly.

-Let's go now. For real., said the younger brunette.

-Can we stay like this a little longer?, asked Olivia shyly.

-Yes of course. But we need to fix you up and your scratches, my love., replied Emily.

-And your hand., added the older girl.

-Yeah I guess., sighed Emily pulling away and walking to the car.

Emily got in the car, joined by Olivia, quickly checking on her dog and the starting the engine. 

-Do you actually want something from the drive-thru?, asked Emily.

-Emily, we need to get to the hospital dork., sighed Olivia.

-Oh right. Just asking in case you're hungry., smiled the younger girl.

-My girlfriend ladies and germs., laughed the older brunette as they drove off to the hospital.
