Chapter 2

Olivia's P.O.V

"I was a baby conceived by rape. Later, after my mother was raped, the man who did it committed suicide. His name was Joseph Hollister. When I was born life was normal. But as I grew, I began to look more like him. My mother started to drink. Did you know that she was an English professor? As I grew she emotionally and physically abused me. That's one of the reasons why I became a law enforcer." I start. She nods. "In what ways did she abuse you? How?" Amanda asks me. "She would call me names, ones that I would rather not repeat. She would beat me. One time she pushed me down the stairs and I dislocated my shoulder." I tell her the truth. Amanda nods.

I take a deep breath and hold my resolve. "I became depressed. I physically harmed myself. Never even thought of suicide. I just cut. My arms. Never my legs, or my stomach. I wasn't suicidal, and I didn't enjoy what alcohol did to my mother, so no substance abuse." I tell her. Amanda nods slowly, she's not looking at me.

"The thing I help people get help for, happened to me." I whisper. Her eyes snap up to mine. "Were you..?" She asks. She's uncertain. "Raped. I was raped." I tell her. She hugs me. "I'm fine." I tell her. She pulls away, still very uncertain. "You're still wearing your clothes from yesterday." She notices. "Who did it?" She asks.

"Brian Cassidy." I tell her. "I have to tell the squad." She says. "I know." I tell her quietly. "You know that you are the victim and you can't investigate your own case. Right?" She asks me. I nod. "Call them in here." I tell her. She nods.

I watch as she stands up and walks to the door. She leaves. I lean back against the cushions and sigh. I've been in here as the detective, and now I'm the victim. How ironic. I think to myself. Cragen walks in with the rest of our squad. Amanda looks at me. I nod, sure that I want her to tell them.

Nick Amaro, my current partner, looks at me. He's confused. Fin Tutuola, a good friend, looks at me. Munch looks at me as well, he has his hands on his hips. That's his way of asking what is going on.

Amanda clears her throat. "Guys, we have a problem." She says. Cragen looks away from me. I look down at my hands, which are in my lap. "Last night, one of our own was raped." Amanda tells them. No one says anything. But I feel all their eyes on me. I look up. "We are going to need an official statement." Amaro says.

"I know." I tell him, nodding. "Do you know who it was?" Cragen asks me. "Everyone knows who it was." I tell him. "Cassidy?" Fin asks. I nod. "He's not like that. He wouldn't do something like that." Munch says. "Last night. He left his phone at my apartment and a woman texted him, saying that she missed him and that she loved him. There were many more messages between the two of them. Anyways, since I didn't want him to worry I put it back where he had left it. When he came back over, about 20 minutes later to get his phone, I confronted him. He knocked me out with a hit to the head. When I came to I was tied up to my bed posts-" a tear falls from my eye and I sob. Amanda sits next to me and holds my hand. "I know this is hard but it has to be done." She says quietly.

I nod. "When I came to, I was tied up to my bed posts. My shirt and bra were intact but my pants were pulled down to my knees." I say. I'm quiet for a minute. "Hey, guys. I think you should leave. She's about to go into great detail of what happened." She tells them. Cragen nods and ushers the males out of the room.

Amanda looks at me. "Continue." She whispers. "My pants were pulled down to my ankles. My underwear were also intact, where they were supposed to be. He walked into my bedroom and saw that I was awake. He stuffed a clean pair of socks into my mouth and secured it with duct tape. He then started to trace his fingers down my sides and to my underwear line. Slowly he pulled them down, like he was teasing me. I screamed. I thrashed, but he didn't stop. He pulled them down to my knees. I couldn't move as he unzipped his jeans and pulled them and his boxers down to his ankles. I was tied up with a couple of my long sleeved shirts. He forced his way inside of me and I couldn't do anything. When he finished he pulled his pants up, and untied me. He threatened me. Cassidy said that if I ever told anyone that he would kill me." I tell her. Amanda finishes writing my statement down.

"We've got you Liv. We've got you." She reassures me. "I know." I tell her.
