Olivia sat in bed and sighed as she looked to her phone. She knew how Max wanted to see Esmè. She knew how hard it was. She knew how he was paying child support. how it was. She knew how it scared her. She knew that she just wanted it to be okay.

Olivia knew how messy that things were and how she didn't know what to do. But she knew what her father was like. And how she didn't want Esmè to feel as if her father didn't care when she could tell that Max did.

Olivia knew how hard it was and she knew how she was trying her best for her daughter. She knew that she wanted her to be okay. And she knew that she was worried about trusting Max.

She didn't know why but she felt as if Max Tyler was playing a game. And how he was going to end up hurting Esmè.

Olivia got dressed and walked down into the kitchen as she saw Rachel and smiled as she looked to her. "Hey. How are you love?" Rachel asked.

Olivia smiled. "I'm okay. Things are just hard at the minute," she said.

Rachel looked to her and smiled. "I know. I know how you haven't had an easy time with having Esmè and all. And I know I haven't always been supportive. But I want you to know I am here for you. And I am supportive. No matter what it seems like," she said as Olivia smiled.

Olivia got to school. She sat in the common room. She saw Madison who smiled as she looked to her sister. "I wanted to see how you are. Mum said that you're feeling down," she said.

Olivia looked to her and smiled. "Yeah. I guess it's just hard. I want to do what's best. I recently got in contact with her father. He is paying child support. But he wants to see her. And I don't know. I am just scared," she said.

Madison looked to her and smiled. "I take it he's not a good person?" She asked as she sat next to her.

"It's not that. It's hard..I just. He's done things. And he plays games. I don't know what to do," Olivia told her.

Madison smiled. "It's a hard situation. But if he's paying child support, give him a chance. Supervised of course," she said as Olivia smiled.

Knowing it was the best option for all.

Olivia walked into Max's office. She looked to him and smiled. "I wanted to talk to you about Esmè. You can see her. But I have to be there to supervise as she doesn't know you. And I need to know that I can trust you," she said.

He looked to her and nodded. "I can do that. I know it's hard. But all I want is to be a father to my daughter," he said as she looked to him and smiled.

She hoped that she could trust him. All Olivia knew was it wasn't going to be easy.
