For Once

IX | For Once

Ivory POV

I had been locking my door these last couple of nights. If you know me then you know I never lock my doors. My apartment has 24 hour  security so I have never been scared.  But for a while now every time I come something seems out of place. Like I always keep my towels in my closet on the second rack but when I got home from school, they were out of place. I am very OCD so if something has been moved then I always know.

" Ivory please open the door" Olivia said as she banged.  I quickly got up. when I answered the door she had the, girl and she was crying. She never cries so I know something is wrong. 

"hey come in, whats going why are you crying whats going with the girls" I said as i rushed her in and grabbed the carseats.

"Anaya asked me to keep them overnight because you said you couldn't because you had a night class." Olivia said as she sat on the couch and cried.

" but Olivia why are you crying I don't  understand" I said as I sat down near, her taking the girls out of their carseats.

" you remember when I left for Europe six months ago" Olivia said. I just nodded for her to go on.

" well I met this guy he was really nice and sweet, he was a little controlling but in a good way. over those months it was, nice we talked, then I finally had sex with him, after that night he changed it was like I was his property. He started to get rough with me like if I talked to a guy like a simple hey he would beat me, or fuck me until I was to tired to fight back.  He wouldn't let me wear the type of clothing I wanted and I couldn't go out and party like we are use to. like this one time, he took me wait no more like forced me to meet his family. Once we met everyone all hell broke loose on me, his brother came up to while we were in the kitchen he cornered me and started talking into my ear,I didn't want him start anything but before I could push him off Luke came in. He beat me right there his family had to pull him off. But when we got back to the house he took me to this room I had never seen.  There were sex toys and all this other stuff for pleasure but they only brought me pain and he used them on me. For hours and hours and after I couldn't walk for days. But when he wasn't crazy and mean and abusive he was so sweet to me he made me feel like I was his queen" Olivia said. she was staring off into space.

"why didn't you call the cops, thats rape OLIVIA" I shouted. I couldn't believe what she was saying, when she came back she was different, and that made me  scared because I knew she was being honest and she is my best friend, and I didn't notice how big this change was. 

"but part of me enjoyed the way he controlled me and the sex life he gave me, damnit Ivory  I loved the way he made me feel, they way he would kiss me at night, the way he didn't judge my size, the way he protected me when I felt scared or the way he would stand up for me when, someone would pick on me he would come to my rescue, Ivory I loved him and I still love him" Olivia said as she cried. 

" What changed after all the abuse what made you leave" I asked.

" I I got pregnant" Olivia said, I gasped.

" what OMG what do you mean Olivia when you came back you weren't pregnant" I said as I grabbed her shoulders and made her look into my face.

"Olivia  You were not pregnant when you came back" I said more stern.

" I lost the baby, I knew I was pregnant but Luke didn't I remember the night he came home  he was yelling at me screaming that I was sleeping with his brother he freaked out and beat the hell out of me. That night I woke up on the floor, Luke wasn't there. But I was in so much pain but I felt that it was my baby. And I was right. His mom came to me that night and we cried for so long. I didn't want her to tell him but she said she had to something about family being everything, that fucking blind loyalty thing they have" Olivia said.   

Olivias flashBack

"Luke please don't get mad please stay calm" I heard Luke's mom  Michelle say.

"Mom i'm not in the fucking mood, now why are you here and why are you blocking my room door, what's going on" Luke said.

" Luke Damnit just please promise me this wasn't her fault, damnit it was more your fault than hers" Michelle said.

" my fault if anything it's her fault for being a whore and sleeping Lucas" Luke said. That hit a nerve and I rushed out the room and attacked him.

" you killed my baby, you killed my baby How could you do this to me you killed our baby" I screamed as I hit his chest. He had finally grabbed my hands and pulled up down by my side.

"baby" He whispered, then he looked into my eyes as I started to break down. He grabbed me tight and he pulled me into a hug I tried to fight him off but he wouldn't let me go. 

"damnit let go of me you killed our baby you can't even admit that you beat me and killed my baby. I hate you so much" I screamed at him and walked off.

Flashback Over

" After that night I put some sleeping pills in his drink and I got the next flight here, I lied and told you guys I was mugged and thats why I didn't have my things. But now he found me and he is marrying my sister just to get me back. He said that he has been watching me ever since I left. " Olivia said. Marrying her sister what the hell is she talking about.

" Olivia I don't know how to help. You say you love him but he seems horrible, he is a monster" I said.

" you have to understand Iv-" I cut Olivia off before she could finish.

"no I don't have to understand he did horrible things to you,He tracked you halfway across the world before finding you here. You think I believe that you just hopped on a plane and came home, No remember you sent me a fucking post card from Africa, Olivia you knew he would assume you came straight home so you led him off your trail HE TRACKED YOU HALFWAY ACROSS THE FUCKING WORLD HE IS CRAZY AND YOU NEED TO STOP BEING CRAZY AND CALL THE FUCKING POLICE" I said as I screamed the last part. Staying with him will kill her just like it did my mom.

Ivory Flashback 8 years old

" Damnit Jim please stop yelling Ivory just went to sleep" My mother Laura said. I wasn't asleep, I was wide awake, hiding on the stairs. I was never able to sleep when I knew my dad was up hitting my mom. My story was different I thought. Most fathers hit mother and child but my dad worshipped the ground I walked on. I was his little girl and he loved me. But with my mom he would beat the shit out of her. But she was a strong women and she loved me no matter what. But the scene before me made me hate my life and my family.

" Damnit Laura you wonder why I hit your stupid ass you make me sick" My dad Jim screamed as he slapped my mom to the ground. She just cried and let him beat her. she claimed to still love him, and that's why she died.
