Runaways

Chapter 9

Ali's P.O.V

I lay there for about an hour but was too scared to sleep. I got up out of bed and went into Olivia's room. She was asleep in her bed. I felt safe with her, she wouldn't let them hurt me. I climbed onto the bed and lay next to her careful not to wake her. Before I knew it I was asleep.

I can hear Olivia's voice. She's talking to someone. About me! "No. I'm just worried about her, I mean do you not think she'd be better off somewhere else where she can get the support she needs."... "I know." ... "Yeah I'll bring her today."
I managed to open my eyes but I couldn't speak to let Olivia know I was awake.
"Okay. I'll see you later." She hung up the phone and walked over to my side. "Hey there, sleepy head."
I glared at her. She doesn't want me an wanted her to be my mum. I'm so stupid.
"How do you feel?" She sat down and held my hand.
I can't believe she's putting on this act. I pulled my hand away and turned away from her. How could she do this to me? I trusted her. She told me I wasn't nobody. That I deserved better. It just goes to show that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. At least she's going to take me away later today then I'll never have to see her lying face again.

Olivia's P.O.V

I was sat in the chair by Ali's bed when my phone rang. I answered it. "Benson."
It was Cragen. "Liv where the hell are you?!"
"In the hospital." I sighed and stood up.
"Oh, Liv I'm sorry. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine but it turns out that Ali is concussed. When I went to wake her up this morning she barley had a pulse and her breathing was shallow."
"Well is she okay?"
"I don't know cap'n. This kid has a lot of problems." I was now pacing around the room.
"Liv are you having second thoughts. I thought after Calvin you would be able to handle this. Is it Lewis? Is it too soon?"
"No. I'm just worried about her, I mean do you not think she'd be better off somewhere else where she can get the support she needs."
"If it isn't Lewis then what is it? Just give it a little longer. Your a great mum Liv."
"I know thanks."
"Look, she needs to come to the precinct at some point. Do you think she'll be out today?"
"Yeah I'll bring her today."
"Okay. I'll see you later." She hung up the phone and walked over to my side.
I looked at Ali, her eyes were open and she was just starring at me.
"Hey there, sleepy head." I smiled but she just glared back. I chose to ignore it. "How do you feel?" I sat down on the chair by her bed and held her hand.
Suddenly, she pulled her hand away and turned away from me. I sat there just waiting for her to realise that I'm not the bad guy.

What did I do?
