***************************************************************************************

"Oli, calm down. He won't come here. He won't hurt you. We are here to protect you. Calm down Oli" my mom pats my back as I continue to cry on my dads shoulder

"Oli.." we turn to the door as we hear someone knock.

"Hey.." Beth says in a low voice walking towards me.

"Mom called me to come over. Said you had a nightmare" Beth comes and sits next to me. 

"I'll leave you two alone. Good night sweetie" mom kisses me on my forehead and goes out with dad.

"Want to tell about what happened back at the parking lot. You driving away like that. And what about the nightmare. Oli what happened" she places her hand on my shoulder.

I don't talk. I just sit there staring at the door. The feeling that Cam is gonna come through those doors any moment and kill me, it making me shiver. Tears continue to roll down my cheeks.

"Oli.... You... you're scaring me right now. Tell me what happened." She hugs me.

I can not take it. I hug her and cry out loud.She just sits there and takes in everything that is happening without speaking .After a while I stop crying.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Go to sleep and we'll talk about it tomorrow instead." she pulls the blanket over me and walks toward the door.

"We are here Oli, always. Stay strong no one's gonna hurt you" she says before closing the door behind her.

"Stay strong. Your not that girl anymore" I say and go to sleep.

The morning sunshine hits my face. "Ahhh. I hate this room" I shout.

I take a quick shower. Dark circles stand highlighted under my eyes. I dress up and walk to the kitchen. Dad is not there, he probably left home early. He's busy with a case lately. Being a lawyer is not easy. Mom did not talk anything about yesterday.

I drive to school. I did not feel like going, but I had a test to attend. I park car and walk towards the class. As I step in I see Jay missing. He did not turn up today. I finish my test and go to canteen.

Everyone just looked at me waiting for me to talk. They were worried for the way I left yesterday.

"Cam's here"I close my eyes trying to hold back my tears.

"What. Who told you this. Oh..wa..wait. Is that why you ran away like that. And the nightmares, was it him?" Beth sits next to me.

I reply with a nod.The thing he's done to me have carved into me. I can never run away from it,never, even if I tried so hard.

"Wait. What am I missing here. Who on earth is Cam. Nightmares. Can someone tell me what's going on" Em shouts.

"Cam is her ex. He cheated on her. He tortured her. And now he's here in Pasadena" Beth says turning towards Em.

" I'm sorry,I didn't know you went through such a tough life Oli" Leo shifts uncomfortably on his seat.

"Have you seen Jay" that is all I could speak.

"Yup. I just saw him sitting near the parking lot. He asked me about you" Harry comes and takes a seat next to me.

"I have to go, see you guys later" I walk towards the parking lot.

"Jay " I call out when I see him sitting on the bench with his head down.

"Oli" he jumps out of the beach.

"Oli.. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you ab...about Cam. I ...i am s.. sorry" he stammers.

"Jay it's fine. I have a bad memory of him. It all flashed in front of me that's it. I'm fine." I say and sit on the bench. And he sits next to me.

"Why did you run away. Wh.. What exactly did he do to you?. " He turns to me.

I sit quite, not speaking a word. He senses what I feel at that moment. "It's okay if you.." I cut him off and don't let him speak.

"It was my birthday. I was turning seventeen. I was so excited.Senior year of high school.Two years of our relationship." I didn't know anything about Jay, I don't know why I am telling him all this. But around him It feels safe. It feels I can trust him.

"I was waiting for him. He came late. He had got his friend along with him. She was very beautiful. She was eighteen just as old as Cam. I didn't care at that moment as to who she was. I was happy because he was there, there for me. At least that's what I thought." I put my head down trying to hold my tears.

"He disappeared. I searched for him an..and found him in my sister's room. With my best friend Hanna. They were literally making out" I laugh.

"They had drugs. It scared me.It scared the living hell out of me. I did not know what to do, So I ran. Cam came to my room and ..." I burst into tears.

"Oli..Im sorry. Come here." Before I know Jay wrapped his hands around me and let me cry onto his shoulder.

" He hit me Jay. He threatened to kill me if I dared to tell anyone about it. And everyday after that he hit me. Abused me. I used to lie to my parents about the bruise I had. Telling them I slipped and fell down , ball hit my face, and what not. It's like I came up with a new reason everyday. He tried to kill me by running over me with his car. He used to sleep with random girls." I cried more.

"I don't know why he had to hit me. Or try to kill me. What was he scared of, I knew he was scared of something" I pull myself away from him and look at him.

"I'm sorry Oli. I didn't know you had to go through so much. I shouldn't have lashed out at you the other day." His blue eyes was filled with guilt.

"It's okay. I understand" I say.

"Come with me" he holds my hand.

"Where" I look at him.

"Do you trust me" he looks at me waiting for an answer.

"I guess I do" I do ,my inner voice told me.

"Anyways I'm taking you for a walk in the garden." He pulls me to my car.

"Keys" he stretches his hands .

"Where's your car?" I ask as I search for his car.

"It's gone for service. Now give your keys. I'm not letting you drive in that state" he is still holding his hand in front waiting for me to give the keys.

"Fine"I say an pass him the keys.

We drive in silence. Twenty minutes from college we drive to a park and go for a walk.

" I come here all the time I feel low" He says, it feels good.

The park looked beautiful. Flowers everywhere. Children running around and playing. I smile looking at the sight of parents playing with there little ones.

"Hello brother. Finally, nice to meet you" we hear a voice. I know this voice, I could never forget it, it's my worst nightmare. We turn around to see Cam standing and smirking at us. My worst nightmare is standing there right in front of me.

"Hi, Olivia" he smiles. A wicked smile.
