Best friend or Lover?

Chapter 8

Olivia stood there stiff as a board. She stood there speechless. She pulled out her phone and started dialing 9 then 1, but before she could dial the last 1 Marcel sat up slowly. 

"Marcel! You're alive! You're actually alive!" I yelled.

"Uh....yeah? I mean I hope so." he answered checking to make sure he's okay.

Olivia ran over to him and squeezes him into a hug. Marcel quickly hugs back as tight as he could. 

He didn't want to let go, neither did she. 

Olivia let go of Marcel for a second to look at him. Marcel had tear stains on his cheeks and teas falling from his eyes. 

Olivia lifted up his chin so she could look at him better. They locked eyes. They kept eye contact for a few seconds. 

Two security guards walked to them, one of them cleared their throats to get their attention. Olivia and Marcel turned around to face them. 

She stood up quickly and wiped her eyes as because she didn't realize she had been crying, too. 

"Ma'am?" a security guard asked.

"Yes?" she asked looking at the two of them.

The guards looked at her, then Marcel, then Rob on the floor unconscious. 

Olivia felt she was about to cry again. No! I am not going to cry in front of the guards! This is not happening! She thought as a tear rolled down her cheek and down to her chin.

"What happened here?" The guard to her left asked.

Olivia looked down at her shoes and felt more tears come on. The next thing she knew she was about to cry harder than she ever had before. 

"Ma'am, answer the question. We have the police coming." The one to her right had said.

Olivia, with her head still down, shook it. 

Holding back so many tears, sniffling away. Every time she thought about what just happened, she's start to cry. She doesn't like yelling, punching, really any violence.

"Ma'am!" the guard to the right said louder which made her start to sob into the palms of her hands.

Marcel stood up and put his hand on Olivia's shoulder to comfort her a bit. 

"Sir," the guard to the left said "my name is Carder, do you know anything about what had happened?" 

"I-I do sir." Marcel answered looking at Olivia slightly. 

"Then, please tell us what happened"

Marcel sighed and then started speaking. "It started when this man" he points to the floor as the paramedics picked up Robert from the floor, "was touching my girlfriend while I was going to get something for her." Marcel wrapped an arm around Olivia to comfort her even more. 

"When I got back, I called him a few names and he threw a punch. He's done way worse things in his days. After he threw it, I was out. I could've been dead. But, well, I'm not." Marcel finished rubbing Olivia's shoulder.

"How did this man get hurt then?" the left guard asked. 

"I threw a punch at him. I didn't know what to do." Olivia spoke quietly "I shouldn't have done that." 

"And do you know this man?" the one on the right had asked whilst writing things down on a pad with a pen.

"Yes." Olivia spoke up. "He-he's my f-father." she stated. 

The guards nodded their heads. 

"What other things had this man done?" the same guard asked.

"W-when I was little he would abuse me, my mum, and my older brother. He then got a divorce with my mother. Later on in life, just a bit ago actually, I found out that he had raped many people, not just woman, but men too. This man is a horrible person." she spoke again trying not to cry.

Both guards just kept nodding their heads and writing things down. 

"You're so strong, and I love you for that. If I were in this situation, you know me, I would have broken down faster than anyone had ever broken down." Marcel whispered into Olivia's ear. 

Marcel's words had made Olivia let out a small chuckle. 

Marcel kissed the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her.

"Worst but best birthday ever" she whispered into his ear.

A guard that had been writing things down looked at Olivia. He looked to be about just a few years older than Olivia. 

"It's your birthday? Happy birthday, love." He said adding a wink at the end of his sentence. 

"Thank you so much." Olivia spoke smiling. 

Marcel didn't even notice that the young man had winked at his girlfriend, he was just paying way too much to Olivia and how beautiful she was.

"Did you hear that, babe? He wished me a happy birthday." Olivia stated. 

"I've wished you a happy birthday so many times today, don't get me started on that." he said smiling down at Olivia.
