Only For One Night

I Miss You

"Where is he?" Laura was trying to get a hold of Asher but he wasn't answering. "Just give it up..." Olivia trailed off. "What do you mean give it up? Your husband is nowhere to be found when he needs to be here for his wife" she told Olivia. " I don't love him... the way he loves me. No matter what I do, no matter what I say, it's never enough. I am always never enough" she explained. "I can't go back there. I'll run away first" she told her mother. "I think you're being a little too dramatic—" Olivia cut her off by saying "He hits me... often. And there's nothing that I can do about it because I'm just so helpless" she showed her mother the bruises on her back. "This is how Asher treats me. Every since Spencer injured him, which it ended his career, he has never been the same. I fear for my own life mom. But one day, I am not gonna wake up because he's going to kill me" she felt tears welling up. "Sweetheart, men gets angry because women doesn't obey them. You need to obey Asher and give him what he needs and wants. Of course Asher loves you and would do anything for you but you need to do what he wants you to do" Olivia couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her daughter is getting beaten to the point where she is fearing for her own life and all she is worried about is Olivia obeying him. "Mom, listen..." Laura cut her off "You are not going to that reunion unless you invite Asher. All that will do is bring more unnecessary drama into your life and I know you do not want that to happen. I saw the way you looked at Spencer at the hospital and that is where it ends" her mother demanded. "Do you care if I live or die, do you? Because he is going to kill me... You don't understand the pain that he is causing. I have to eat off the floor. He spits in my mouth. He basically rapes me when he's in the mood for sex. He gave me an STD that I needed to get surgically removed 2 months ago. This isn't love, it isn't" she shook her head as the tears fell. "You are not staying here. You have a husband who is probably making money somewhere—" she cut off her mother by shouting "Having sex with prostitutes is not making money! But if you don't want to help me, fine" she walked to the door. "Olivia, where are you going?" She looked over her shoulder at her mother "anywhere but here and that so called place that I call home" she looked forward, opening the door before walking out.

Olivia was walking because Asher took everything from her. She didn't know where she was going but knew where she wanted to be. It started to rain when a car pulled up by the road. "Ma'am, need a ride?" Olivia shook her head. She didn't know who the man was and was raised not to get lifts from people. After the man pulled off about 3 minutes later another one pulled up but this time a woman. "Excuse me, miss? It's pouring out there and you are drenched. You should let me give you a ride" she offered. Of course Olivia didn't want a ride but she knew that she was freezing cold and was low-key scared because she didn't know where she was going. She nodded before the lady waved her in. "So where to?" Olivia gave the woman her address. She needed to get home so that she could grab a few of her things including her car key so that she can leave.

When she got home she tossed her favorite clothing into a Walmart bag and found the keys in one of his coat pockets. She left the room and rushed downstairs just in time for him to walk inside. "Going somewhere?" He closed the door. "Your mother has been calling me all fucking day about you. I was with my other wife and my kids. And your mom is calling me because you are not acting the way you should be? You just never learn do you? You told her that I beat you" she was taking a step back. "You're such a fucking cunt—" she cried "Asher I'm sorry please" she begged. "What—did—I—fucking—say!" Hitting her between words. She felt the pain as she finally hit the floor. "You really thought your mother was not going to tell me? You really thought you were gonna leave?! The only fucking way you're leaving me is death. He placed his foot on her throat with her struggling for oxygen. Hitting at his leg. "Nobody leaves me Olivia. Try me one more time" he raised his foot with her gasping for air and coughing. "Try me!" He kicked her hard in the ribs with her screaming in pain as she was sobbing hard.

She was back in the hospital this time for bruised ribs. The doctor she had was the same doctor when she almost died. They had questions for her because they knew this was not in a suicidal attempt. She couldn't give them the truth because she did not know who to trust. The last person she tried to tell other than her mother, told him and he almost killed her that time as well. Choking her damn near to death. After leaving the hospital she called up Jordan to pick her up, little did she know that Jordan sent out Spencer to pick her up. "Hey Liv" she was confused, leaning down to look at him in the car. "Uh, where's Jordan?" — "He had something to do. So he sent me to come pick you up. I hope you don't mind" she sighed before opening the door, she got inside. "Do you mind me asking—" she cut him off "I mind" she mumbled. " I mean, what are you doing at the hospital? Is everything good?" He was concerned. He saw how she had her hand against her ribs. "I'm fine Spencer, just look at the road and just don't take me home" he was confused. "Where else am I going to take you?" She shrugged. " Liv..." he trailed off. " take me to Jordan's" she told him.

After getting into Jordan's place, Spencer stood by the door while she sat down on the couch. "Liv, why did you leave me?" She looked over at him. "You're really asking me that question? You know why I left. You cheated on me" she told him. "I did not. I would never cheat on you. Rochelle kissed me but I didn't kiss her back. You know how much I love you and I know you are not happy with Asher because it shows" he told her. "Oh so suddenly, you know how I feel. You don't know shit about me Spencer" she said coldly. " I know you did not try to commit suicide" she was silent. "Liv, what's going on? The Liv, that I know, I no longer see—" she cut him off "Yeah because she's long gone" she told him. "People change Spencer and it is what it is" he sighed, walking over before sitting down next to her. "So do you love him?" Of course she didn't but she wasn't about to let him know that. "Yes" she stood up. "You're lying" he stood up. "Dude, what is your problem?" He grabbed her waist with her wincing in pain. "I love you" He took a step back, looking at her confused. "Liv?" She walked to the door "where are you going?" She turned around, facing him. "Anywhere but here. I can't be in the same room as you right now" she told him. "Why is that?" She felt the tears welling up "because I'm missing you. But you deserve so much better than me" he started to walk towards her "I need to go, please.. let me go" Spencer hugged her with her tucking her lips in so that she wouldn't make any noises from the pain. "I miss you" he told her. "I miss you too" she cried. He pulled away from the hug, suddenly he started to lean down.
