Maddies POV

February 15
6:30 PM

I walked through the wooden door and was greeted by Elliot. He smiles and started talking to me but his words jumbled together, I couldn't think my mind kept floating back to a few days ago when I found out I was raped was I really? I couldn't have been how could remember nothing but so much at the same time?

Maddie? It's me Elliot are you ok? I looked up at him,nodded, and pushed past him and went to my room, locked the door and sat on the red bean bag chair in the corner of the room and started to sob.

I gazed out the window and saw my mom in the parking spot bringing in bags of food into the apartment complex. I close the blinds and the lights and just sit and think .

Olivia's POV

The door to my apartment was left ajar and I slowly walked in and smiled as I saw Elliot sitting on the couch. I put the bags on the counter and sat next to him

"Hey..." I whisper softly kissing his cheek, How are you?

"Worried. About you and Maddie I just want everything to be ok and how it was before any of this" he confessed and pulled me closer and I rested my head on his chest

" I know El we all wish that. Is Maddie in her room?" I ask while playing with the strings on his NYPD sweatshirt absentmindedly.

"Yea she seemed kinda out of it. I was going to check on her but she seemed mad at me didn't say a word when she walked in. "

"Yea she's been like that she hasn't spoken to me either not more than five words all day today or yesterday or the", I lowered my voice and held back tears," she told me she hated me and I can't blame her look at what she went through because of me..." I stand up but Elliot pulls me gently back on his lap.

He kisses my head and runs his fingers through my hair gently, "It's ok Liv we will fix this it will all be ok" he cooed and I nuzzle my self closer to him.

We stay like that for a few minutes before Maddie resurfaced from her room her eyes watery and red. She changed into her pajamas and looked like she was trying her very hardest to relax.

"Hey, do you need anything love?" I ask gently motioning her to come over to me

Maddie responds by shrugging her shoulders and facing the other direction.

"Maddie...can you please come here" I ask once more standing up and walking over to her

She sensed me behind her and took a few steps closer to the kitchen.

I start to get frustrated, "Hate me all you want but I won't stop loving you and I won't stop pressing you to talk to me either"

Maddie's POV

"I won't stop loving you"

Elliot came over and unlocked the door about seven that morning with everything that he and Maddie planned. He quietly went to the sleeping four year old and woke her

"Hi princess ready to make mommy her birthday breakfast?"

Maddie squeals and jumps in his arms
