When Partners Lie ~A Bensler FanFic~ [Edited]

Chapter 11 [Edited]

Olivia's POV

"Isn't this weird?" I heard a voice say.

"Shh! Dickie! She's still sleeping! Dad told us to wake her up, but I don't wanna!" A more eager voice replied, and I opened my eyes slowly and gave Lizzie and Dickie a sleepy smile.

"Don't worry, I'm awake." I yawned, and Lizzie and Dickie ran from the room and started to fight in the living room.

I stretched before getting up and taking a quick shower. I pulled on one of Elliot's shirts and a pair of pajama shorts before heading out. The kids sat eating pancakes in front of the TV, but Maureen and Kathleen both looked at me as I walked out into the living room.

"Liv?" Maureen questioned and I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Hey, Maureen," I spoke, and she looked at me with confusion.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

"Maureen, Daddy and Liv are dating." Lizzie giggled, and I blushed a bright red.

"What?!" Dickie, Maureen, and Kathleen said at the same time.

"I'm going to find your father," I replied quickly before escaping into the kitchen where Elliot was drinking some coffee.

"They didn't know?" I breathed, and he looked up and smiled at me.

"They didn't know what?" He replied and I walked up and hit his chest with both of my palms.

"Elliot! Your kids didn't know we are together?!" I spoke quickly, and he grabbed my waist and held me still.

"Olivia, as of last night we officially started to date. Of course, they didn't know." He spoke calmly, and I ran my hand through my hair, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Oh. Yeah." I replied slowly. Elliot chuckled softly and pecked my lips gently.

"Silly Benson." He smiled and I just laid my head on his chest and listened to his breathing for a moment.

"Do you think they will be okay with this?" I asked, and he shrugged.

"I hope so." He stated and I nodded.

"I do too."

Elliot took Dickie and Lizzie out to get some new beds since he had only gotten twin sized beds for Maureen and Kathleen so far. I stay with Maureen and Kathleen, but it was awkward.

"So, how's school?" I asked, trying to break the tension.

"Did you break up Mom and Dad?" Kathleen spat, and Maureen looked at her sister with wide eyes.

"Kathleen!" She scolded, but I shook my head.

"Maureen, it's fine. Kathleen, I'm sorry about what happened to your parents, but I didn't want it to happen." I spoke quietly.

"Really? Cause it seems like you wanted my Dad, and you got him!" She spat.

"Kathleen! I didn't tell your father to leave your mother. I would never do that!" I cried.

"Are you sure? You're a fucking home-wrecking slut!" She screamed, and I stood up and stormed out, grabbing my things on the way out.

Nice going Olivia, you actually thought that the kids would accept you.

I went back to my place and went to the fridge, deciding if I should go against what is advised on the pain meds I took every once and a while, or if I should stick to them. I sighed and slammed the door before making some coffee. I heard someone pounding on my door and I sighed and opened it.

"Cassidy, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, and he wrapped his arms around me and smashed his lips into mine. I was so angry at this moment, that I kissed him back, passionately. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me over to the couch. He laid me down and then laid down on top of me as we continued to kiss. He reached for his belt, and I quickly pushed him off, completely ashamed of myself.

"Oh, my fuck!" I cried, and I stood up and quickly backed against the wall, tears on my cheeks.

"Liv, what's wrong?" He asked, redoing his belt and walking over to me, but I just slapped him hard across his face.

"Get away!" I screamed. He looked at me with confusion.

"Liv, please. I want to be with you." He breathed, and I shook my head.

"No! I'm dating Elliot! I shouldn't have done this!" I sobbed, and he tried to get near me again, and I slapped him once more before he got the picture and stormed off. 

I sank to the floor and pulled my legs to my chest and sobbed until I couldn't cry anymore. How could I do this to Elliot, when he has been nothing but good to me?

I had fallen asleep on the floor, and I awoke to someone knocking on my door. I stood up and ran my hand through my hair to calm it, before opening the door.

"Baby?" Elliot questioned, and I swallowed hard.

"El, what are you doing here?" I asked as I let him in.

"Maureen said you stormed off, and we just got back so I wanted to check on you. Are you okay?" He asked, and I swallowed hard.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine." I whimpered, and he caressed my cheek as we looked in each other's eyes.

"Olivia, what's wrong?" He asked, and I swallowed hard.

"I kissed Cassidy!" I blurted. He stepped away and looked at me with anger in his eyes.

"What?" He growled.

"I was angry and he showed up and he kissed me and I kissed him back. I'm so sorry, El!" I cried, but he just stormed past me, slamming the door behind him, and I collapsed onto the floor again, in a fit of sobs.

"I'm so sorry, El. I'm so sorry." I whimpered.

I went to the bar and drank away the pain. I hated how stupid I was, and how I had hurt the one man I loved with all my heart. I stumbled out of the bar and made my way down the street, hoping that eventually I could find a cab, but instead, I stopped and got out my phone, ready to call someone to pick me up, but I heard a door open and then something hard hit my head. I screamed out, but that was all I could do before the world went black around me.
