Searching for Her [Watty Awards 2013]

Ch. 19- Comfort

Ch. 19- Comfort

(Elliot POV)

She was hiding something, something big. I knew just by her face and her stuttering words supported my suspicions. Whatever that scumbag did to her, she's too ashamed to tell me. That hurts me, deeply. But I need to be there for her, so I'll let it slide. I caressed her bruised knuckles and moved onto the back of her hand. She stopped crying ten minutes later.

"El, I'm tired," Olivia mumbled.

"Alright," I began to stand, but she squeezed my hand.

"Stay, please," she begged. I nodded and sat down on the chair. She closed her eyes, so did I. Within seconds, she was asleep. I watched the steady beat of her chest rise and fall. I exited the room quietly to give the team a status report on her condition. I sat outside the waiting room, and soon after I fell asleep.

"Ahh! Stop! No!" I jerked up hearing her screams. I burst into her room. There was a person already in there, hovering over her. I couldn't see who.
