Coming Home [A Bensler Fan Fic]

Fourteen

Olivia couldn't believe what her sister was saying. How even when she wasn't under the control of drugs, she still hated her.

"You are such a fucking brat." Olivia huffed as she stood and stared at her sister.

"Excuse me? I'm not the whore-"

"Fuck you, Evelyn. I hope they never let you out of here... but if they do, they need to lock you up somewhere else. You are toxic and a freaking monster. I bet you killed Mom, but will never admit it since you are always the victim." Olivia spat.

"I will kill you." Evelyn growled.

"Go ahead and try, you spoiled rotten brat." Olivia hissed.

Evelyn stood and lunged at her sister, but she was weak. Her body was going through withdrawals and would probably never be as strong as before.

"Hey!" Elliot yelled, as he watched Olivia step to the side and let her sister face plant onto the tile.

"She said she was going to kill me. She can try all she wants, but I will not let her walk all over me. I will NEVER let her hurt me again! So pull your scrawny ass off the fucking floor, and fight like a real Benson." Olivia smiled. 

"Liv, the nurses are going to realize what is happening. We will never be able to see Evelyn again if you start fighting."

"I don't care, Elliot. In the end, I will never be her sister." Olivia huffed before groaning as she felt something hit the back of her head.

She turned and looked at her sister, that was holding a heavy book. 

"Rot." Olivia huffed before shoving past her sister and stomping towards the exit.

Elliot looked at Evelyn before frowning.

"She's your big sister, and she loves you a lot. Can't you just realize that she is your only shot now? But instead you think that you are the only one that matters, but in the end... you will be alone and will never see your sisters or father again." Elliot sighed, as nurses came over and grabbed Evelyn by her arms.

"Let me go!" She huffed.

"Your sister told us that you threatened to kill her! You are going to be put in your room and will be talked to about this later."

Olivia was silent on the whole ride home. Elliot kept glancing over at her, but Olivia never met his eyes. She was trying her hardest to not cry, but it was a losing battle for sure.

"I'm hungry. Do you want something to eat?" Elliot asked as he slowed down and merged onto an exit.

"I'm not hungry." Olivia whispered.

"You haven't eaten since this morning. You need something to eat. So let's-"

"I'm not hungry, Elliot. I don't want to eat, and I'm sure if I did... I'd throw up. Okay?" Olivia grumbled.

"Okay, baby. I won't be forcing you or anything." Elliot replied softly. He reached out and rested his hand against Olivia's leg before turning into a restaurant. 

Elliot ordered himself some food before parking to eat. He kept his eyes focused on his food, but eventually he looked at Olivia when he saw her shake with silent sobs.

"It's okay, baby." Elliot spoke softly.

"She's my baby sister, and I just told her to rot. I just gave up on her, when she needed me the most! I'm a horrible person!" Olivia sobbed.

"No, you aren't. You are an amazing person, and I am madly in love with you." Elliot spoke. 

"My mom would be disappointed in me, El. She would hate me for doing this all." Olivia whispered.

"No, your mother would be proud of you for standing your ground. For finally stopping people from walking all over you."

"Life sucks." Olivia swallowed hard.

"I know it does, but my life has gotten so much better since you came back home. Since I got to tell you home much, I love you. I see a future with you, Olivia. A future without your sister and father being absolute dicks."

"I may always be like this." Olivia whispered.

"I will always love you whether you are happy or sad. Trust me."

There wasn't a lot of unknown now in Olivia's life. She knew that her father was going to jail for a very long time, and that her sister may never be improved enough to leave her rehab center. Olivia knew that her life was better, with Elliot by her side instead of her father and sister. That she was happier with him than she had been with Lou and Letty's father.

"This was a great way to celebrate the new year." Elliot grinned as he laid back beside Olivia. She looked over at him and smiled.

"We celebrate like this all the time." Olivia laughed as she ran her fingers over Elliot's chest.

"Okay, but we are starting a whole new year together as a couple. We have a lot to look forward to. Like you going back to college, us possibly getting a house, and so many other amazing things."

"Tell me about the other amazing things. I want to know everything." Olivia spoke, as she rested her head against Elliot's chest.

Elliot laid there and told Olivia about his plans for this new year. How he wanted to spend as much time with his girlfriend and the girls. He said that one of his plans was to marry Olivia, and Olivia sat up and looked at him with wide eyes.

"What?"

"I want to marry you." Elliot smiled softly.

"Like, this year? Next year? When?"

"As soon as you'd like." Elliot breathed.

"I really didn't get too much of a say last time I got married. I was pregnant and Brad took me to the courthouse. I didn't get a dress or a nice reception. I had a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a greasy dinner at a bar afterward." Olivia spoke.

"We can have your dream wedding if you'd like. Sparing no expense." Elliot smiled.

"I love you, Elliot. I am so beyond thankful for you..." Olivia whispered.

"I love you too. Now, I'm ready for another round if you are." Elliot smirked.

"Actually, I'd like to start thinking about our wedding. Picking a date and so much more."
