Only For One Night

Take The Pain Away

"Ahhh baby stop!" She laughed. Spencer had her pinned down on the bed, tickling her. "Okay, okay, okay!! You win" he finally a topped. Finding it to be hilarious. He pinned her wrists down above her head when she tried to hit him. "Play nice, Liv" she giggled at him "I don't know how to" he chuckled, shaking his head. They stared into each other's eyes before he leaned down, kissing her passionately. Spencer was in tears. Reminiscing on moments he shared with her, when they dated. He was able to let it out. Nurse Joy, allowed him to stay after visiting hours so he can have alone time with Olivia. She was in a coma. He was torturing himself. Blaming himself for everything that has happened. He held her hand while he cried. "She loves you" he looked up seeing Nurse Joy standing on the opposite side of Olivia. "She was yelling your name out before she went into a coma" a tear fell from his eyes. "She was scared for her life when she was calling your name. You know.. I'm not caught up on the latest tea but, she still loves you. Very much, Spencer" she told him. Nurse Joy left him alone. She was yelling out for him? Not her mom? Not her dad? Not Jordan? But she yelled his name? That broke him even more. He kissed her hand, multiple times. "I love you, Liv. You hear me? I love you... I'm right here baby. I'm gonna be here until you wake up. I'm gonna be here afterwards. I don't care if you try to push me away. I'm not leaving your side— I'm sorry for Rochelle. I don't love her. I just... the words you said to me hurt, Liv. I blame myself enough but to hear how much you hate me and how much you blame me, hurt worse" he saw how pale she was. He couldn't lose her. This couldn't be the end. Why can't this be a terrible dream? This isn't how it should be. They're supposed to be happy. They're supposed to be in love. They're supposed to be married, with kids, living that happy life. He was no longer happy. Asher damaged her. He wasn't sure how, but if she wakes up, he knew she would heal from this. It won't happen over night. It won't happy a year from now. But it will happen eventually because she's a fighter.

Olivia's POV

My God! Why can't I respond to him? I hear him but I can't manage to speak. Why can't I just open my eyes? I tried my hardest to move my hand but I couldn't. This is frustrating. He's crying. He's heartbroken. I feel bad for what I said to him. I wish I could take it back. I wish things were different but it isn't. He's right, I do need help. Not just my sponsor but actual rehabilitation. Though I hate to go.... Wait, what is that? Is he kissing me? Why do I feel it but can't manage to kiss back??! Ugh! Hearing him cry is breaking my heart. I just want to hug him and tell him that I love him back. Tell him how sorry I am. I don't care about what happened last night. I know his heart isn't with Rochelle. It's with me! I drove him there by being harsh towards him. I said a lot... a lot that was directly towards myself, not him.

He pulled back from kissing her lips. Nurse Joy came back in. "I'm sorry to say but you have to leave now" he nodded slowly. "I just don't wanna leave her" he told Nurse Joy. "I'll tell you what. You can stay here, I'll grab you a pillow and a blanket" she told him. Spencer was alone for a few minutes before she came back with a pillow and a blanket. "Thanks.." he told her. "You're welcome and Spencer? She's going to wake up. Olivia is a strong woman. She isn't going to let some scumbag who abused her left and right, win. Her dying, means that she loses to him and she is not about to lose. She is going to live and she's going to get better. She's going to be better than ever" nurse Joy told him. "She heard everything you're saying. Most patients who are in a coma, wakes up and are able to remember what was being said from their loved ones when they were in that coma" a smile formed on Joy's face before she left the room. "Baby? You hear me??" He stood up from the chair, looking down at her. "Squeeze my hand if you hear me?" He was hoping to get a reaction but didn't. He sighed before sitting back down. "You can't die on me.. you have to wake up. I can't live without you, Liv. I don't like how our last conversation ended. If you don't wake up.... look, you have to wake up. I can't live like this. My heart for real hurts right now. I need to see your smile, those beautiful eyes, hear that laugh, I need your hugs, your kisses, I need all of you. Please, Liv. I need you to fight. I promise it'll get better."

Spencer woke up from the sound of Laura's voice. "Spencer?" He opened his eyes, squinting them at her. "You should go home and rest" she told him. "I'm rested" he yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I mean actual rest. In a bed, underneath some covers" he sat up seeing Olivia hasn't moved a single muscle. "I'm not leaving her side. I'll rest once she wakes up, until then I'm good" he took her hand in his. "Spencer, I want some alone time with my daughter—" he was irritated "Do you really?" She was silent. "How come no one knew about this? Him abusing her and treating her like she's a damn slave" Spencer felt rage. She was still silent. "You have nothing to say?" Spencer stood up, still holding her hand. "Look at your daughter" he told her. "Spencer I—" he cut her off "Look! At your daughter..." she slowly looked down at Olivia. "There's a 50% chance that she might not wake up. How could you not know she was being abused?" She looked down before a few tears escaped her face. "I did. He just paid me. Asher's dad so that I wouldn't put him in jail" he was furious. "You knew he was beating her, and you protected him? Because his dad paid you not to do anything to help her? Are you fucking serious?! Olivia could die right now and this would be all your fucking fault" he was highly disgusted by her. "I'm sorry Spencer. I haven't been in my right mind" she told him. You damn right! He treated your daughter like a slave. He treated her like she wasn't fucking human" Laura ran out in tears. "Baby..." tears were falling as he leaned down to her face "..when you wake up, you coming with me, you coming with me. I promise, you will never have to feel pain ever again" he pecked her cold lips.  Spencer sat down in the chair, placing his hands on top of his head, looking down "Ugh!!!"
