Painful pasts and terrible truths

Chapter 34

I fell asleep after Virgil left, being ill makes me feel so drained, when I woke up again I walked downstairs to make some tea, Alan was sitting on the countertop eating chocolate spread out of the jar, I looked for something to eat, I was starving, there was nothing in the cupboards or fridge that I desired so I gave up in the end, I went back upstairs and I sat down to drink my tea and read my book, I'm on the final chapter of The Scorch Trails, once I finished it I put it back on the side, ugh when will Virgil get back it's been about five hours, I walked back into his room and I got back into his bed, I jumped when the door opened

"Never fear your nurse is here" Virgil exclaimed, he had a thermometer, ibuprofen and tissues

I smiled a bit

"How are you feeling now" Virgil asked, placing a hand on the back of my neck

"I feel fine" I mumbled, in response to that he placed the thermometer in my mouth, after a few minutes he removed it

"Your temperature is still too high, are you sure you're ok" why does he care

"I'm fine, I just have a cold" I reassured him

"Oh wow, you're dismissing the 5 years I spent learning this stuff, I know you're not ok babe" Virgil sighed and he tucked a stray bit of hair behind my ear

"I'll be fine" I lied, I went to stand up but I felt a bit woozy and I fell backwards

"Do you even listen to doctors anymore" Virgil tutted and he left the ibuprofen and tissues on the side

"Wait, please don't go" I begged him and I clung on to his leg

"Whoa hey, let go, I'm going to fall over in a minute" Virgil laughed

"Please stay" I whispered

"I was planning on staying anyway" oh that's great

"Good" I grinned, I let go of his leg and I stood up slowly so I didn't fall over, I went to lie down

"Do you want anything to ea- Olivia what's wrong" Virgil wondered, he was concerned because I was upset

"I don't know, it's just that if my mum had stayed married to my dad for a few more weeks I would have been subjected to incest" I told him

"Oh god, that's awful, right you need to tell someone other than me, you can't keep this hidden forever, he needs to get locked up, I feel sick just thinking about what he did to you" why is he worrying about this

"Oh well, I'll have to live with it, I can't tell anyone" I mumbled

"No, Olivia you have to tell someone, there is no such thing as "I'll have to live with it", you need to tell the police" Virgil complained

"I don't need to tell anyone!" I screamed at him

"Please don't shout at me, I'm trying my hardest to make you feel better" Virgil whispered and he seemed to shrink in fear, he seemed a little sad that I shouted at him

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" I apologised

I cuddled up to him, he was cold so I pulled the duvet over both me and him, he didn't reply, did I hurt him, I didn't mean to, he looked so upset, my phone went off, it was Eden

"Hello" I answered it

There was sobbing

"O-Olivia, please help me, it's him, he's trying to kill me, I've tried to get the boys away from him but I don't know if- No don't hurt me!" Eden screamed

"Oh no, right, I'll try and get to you" I panicked

*Time skip*

I opened the door to my sisters apartment, Virgil was following me

"Please don't hurt her, I'm not letting you near my baby" I heard Eden's desperate cries

"Don't you mean our baby, she's just as much my child as she is yours" I hated that voice, I picked up a kitchen knife, I might as well do it

"Get away from my sister, I have half the mind to kill you" I snarled

"Aww isn't that cute, my little doll has returned, I wonder if I can have some fun with her" Lucas grinned

"You will never try and use me like you did ever again, I'm f*cking sick of you!" I shrieked and I forced the knife into his stomach, he faltered and dropped to the ground, he coughed up blood, in the end he stopped struggling and he closed his eyes, I checked his pulse, nothing

"Oh my god!" Eden cried

I was shaking, I had killed someone

"Olivia are you ok" Virgil wondered when he walked through the door, he saw Lucas' dead body on the ground and he had to inspect it "what did you do"

"It was his punishment for hurting her like he did" Eden sighed

I couldn't breathe, all oxygen had been knocked out of my chest, I felt dizzy, I felt awful
