"Hello, Are you ready?" Daryl said on the phone.

"D-Daryl can you come get me?" I said sobbing through my sentence.

"I'm coming Liv."

(DARYL'S POV-)

I was finishing some paperwork when I got a phone call from Olivia it sounded as if she was crying no hesitation I got my keys and ran out the door, I was speeding all the way there but I couldn't care less about the speed limit nor the law all I was concerned about was me getting to Olivia too see what happened to her.

A couple minutes later I made it to her I parked the car and gotten out when she saw me she ran to me and hugged me while sobbing in my chest. I frozen for a minute because she has never hugged me before, I wrapped my arms around her and told her it was okay that I was here now.

"Liv? What happened!?" I asked her softly.

"Mmm- Mason.... is cheating on me!" She sobbed even harder.

I was so fucking pissed I knew he was no good but I honestly didn't think he'd cheat, who could cheat on Olivia she's wonderful.

"Come on Liv let's go home." I say leading her to the passenger seat, I get in the car and start driving back home.

We drove in silence for a few minutes then she started to explain what she heard. Listening to her story I was getting more upset than I already was, I started gripping the wheel so tightly it was as if I wanted it to snap.

But I controlled myself and looked over at Liv she had her head down with her mascara all over her face.

Without thinking I took my hand off of the steering wheel and grabbed her thigh, she tensed and the slowly started to calm down.

(OLIVIA'S POV-)

I stood there waiting for Daryl to show up and he showed up quicker than I expected, without thinking when I saw him get out of the car I ran to him and started sobbing into his chest, he froze before reassuring me.

As soon as I told him Mason was cheating on me all I could think about was him saying that he told me so but he didn't say a thing he tensed up though I felt it and then he began to calm down.

He than said let's go home, he helped me into the passenger seat and than he went to the driver seat and took off I started to tell him the whole story of what I heard. He got more pissed than he was when we were standing outside but like last time he began to calm down.

Silence washed over us, than all of a sudden he put his hand on my thigh I tensed up than I started to relax I didn't push his hand off my thigh I kept it there.

"Were home." Daryl says removing his hand off my thigh, I got out of the car went up to my room took a shower and went to bed.

The next morning

I felt like crap I didn't wanna get out of bed I just wanted it to swallow me.

Downstairs

"Has Olivia come out of her room yet?" Miranda says

"I don't think so honey she's not feel well." Daryl replies

"Oh I'd stay but I gotta go they need me."
Miranda says grabbing her keys

"It's fine, Miranda just go I'll take car of her." Daryl says kissing Miranda on her forehead before she walks out the door.

I head upstairs to check up on Liv to see how she's doing, I knocked on the door than walked in.

"Liv are you okay?" I say closing the door.

"No I feel like crap." I say turning over to face Daryl.

"Your mom went on to work I'm gonna stay and take care of you till you get better."
I say sitting on the bed stroking her head.

"I touched her forehead and than I started moving closer and closer."

"Open your mouth." I told her, she does just that and I don't see anything wrong so I told her she can close it.

"I'm gonna make you some soup I'll be back." I say walking out and heading to the kitchen to make the soup.
