Chapter 1

Olivia's P.O.V

I stare at Amanda Rollins, my ex-partner, my friend. "Are you sure?" she asks me. I look at her. My brown eyes meet her blue ones. "Are you really sure?" she asks me. I nod. "I'm sure." I say lowly. "How long?" she asks me. "I found out last night." I tell her. I cast my eyes downward.

She clears her throat. I look at her and she nods to something behind me. I turn around. Standing there is the man that cheated on me. Brian Cassidy. The man that I have been seeing on and off for 13 years. We were together when we were both rookies. Then he went undercover and left me behind. "Get the hell away from me. Get out of this precinct! Go!" I yell. "Do we have a problem here?" my boss asks. My boss is Donald Cragen. He's the head of the SVU department.

"Yes, we do." I say. "What is it Liv?" he asks me. Cragen is like my father, so I know that he is worried. "He needs to leave." I gasp. My resolve is crumbling. I point a finger at Brian. "He needs to leave." I say again. "You heard the woman. Leave." Cragen orders. I sit down at my desk. I take a deep breath. "Amanda in 5 minutes I need you to come and get me from the bathroom." I tell her. She rests a palm on my shoulder. "Are you okay?" she asks me. I look at her. She looks concerned. "In 6 minutes I'm going to tell you something in the interviewing room." I tell her. She nods. I stand up and walk away from everyone and towards the restroom.

The familiar brown walls, bring some comfort, but not much. I look underneath the stalls to see if I'm alone. Seeing no feet under the stall doors I lock the door.

My face falls quickly when I see how I look. Normal. I look normal. I look like nothing is wrong. But something is wrong. Something is really wrong. Nothing is okay. Brian Cassidy is wrong. He is a bad guy. I pull my hair up into a ponytail and take my leather jacket off.

Turning on the water I set my jacket next to the sink. I cup my hands and splash the cool water on my face. It cools my skin which is on fire, but it doesn't help how I feel. I shut the water off and look at myself in the mirror again. My chocolate brown eyes look tired. The bags under my eyes look darker than usual because I 'haven't been sleeping well lately'.

The truth has to come out. Today. Amanda will understand. She will fight for me and with me in anything and everything. I look away from the mirror and at my arms. Thin scars cover each of my arms. They start at my wrist and end at the elbow. Hundreds of them. No one knows what my mother did to me. No one.

I haven't told a soul. It's going to come out. Everything is going to come out. A knock sounds on the door and I wipe my face. I pick up my jacket and unlock the door. It opens to reveal Amanda. She gives me a small smile. "Ready?" she asks quietly. I nod. She nods in response. I push the door open and walk out of the restroom. Amanda rests the palm of her hand on the small of my back. "I got you." she whispers. "Thanks." I say. She leads me to the interviewing room.

I sit on the couch at the end of the room. I watch her as she takes as many precautionary measures as possible. The blinds are closed. The door is locked. Finally she comes and sits close to me.

"Tell me what happened." she says. "I have to tell you everything." I tell her. She nods. I take a deep breath. And start from the beginning.
