I woke up next to my mom and for a split second thought I was dreaming. "Hey good morning" she whispered and I smile cuddling into her.

"Morning" I whispered back. We got up and got dressed, I didn't have to go to school because of everything that has happened. I sit on the couch and flick through the channels, nothing good came on though so I just sat and talked with mom for awhile.

"So you'll be leaving today right?" Sarah asked rudely and mom just nodded in silence. "Hey Emily do me a favour, and go out to the store and get some eggs" Sarah asked.

"It's OK I'll go" mom offered but I didn't want to stay with Sarah. Alone.

"No mom don't go" I begged.

"I'll just be a few minutes, promise" she said and I nodded slowly. She walked out closing the door and left me alone with her.

"So I assume you're leaving too?" she asked and I just sighed an annoyed sigh.

"Yeah you know what I will he, and you can finally have my dad all to yourself just like you wanted. So stop with the dirty looks and get over it! He will always love her more than you so just except it!" I snapped, getting tired of her at this point.

"Excuse me?!" she asked angrily.

"Yeah! You can't tell me what to do anymore so back off"

"Just because your mommy comes along doesn't mean you get to prance around like you own the place!" she yelled slapping me across the face.

"You're evil!" I yelled tears streaming down my face.

"Shut up! You want evil? I'll show you evil" she said grabbing me by the arm. I tried to pull away but she was too strong, must be a side affect of beating teenaged girls. She started hitting me over and over, everything around me becomes a blur but then the pain stops, I hear a yelp of pain and I jump to my feet. I see my mom standing over Sarah, kicking her over and over and over.

"It's not so fun now is it!" she screamed.

"Mom! Mom stop!" I said grabbing her hand and she turns to face me. The room falls silent. "God I think you killed her" I said tilting my head to the side. My mom bent down beside her and felt her pulse.

"Nope she's alive, now how about we go get ice cream?"

"Um... Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"Forgetting something?"

"Oh right of course, our stuff" she said completely ignoring the unconscious woman on our kitchen floor. 

"Where are we gonna stay?" I asked.

"At my old place, I didn't sell it just in case... You know.. Things went bad" she said and I nodded. She was headed out the door when I pointed out that we couldn't just leave Sarah there. "Yeah you're right" my mom said taking the eggs and cracking them letting the yokes fall onto Sarah's face.

"Are you insane?!" I yelled and she just laughed.

"A little. Don't worry that should wake her up and if it makes you feel better I'll call 911", so we called 911 and left.

"Why the sudden crazy outburst?" I asked.

"There's only so much anger I can hold in before I explode"

"OK... But the eggs?"

"I paid, I was just getting my money's worth, she wanted eggs she got eggs, besides now it looks like a robbery"

"And what did they steal exactly? A slice of toast?" I asked jokingly.

"They were hungry" she said before eating the last bit of toast.

12 hours later.

I'm sitting on the couch watching CSI when I hear mom shouting at someone on the phone. "Me?! Pay that whores medical bilks?! Go screw yourself Elliot! Who's gonna pay Emily's medical bills huh? Did you not notice when your girlfriend beat your daughter?!.... I am not, I swear to god Elliot I'm getting a restraining order, and if either of you touch my child again, I'll feed your balls to the pigeons in central park!" she screamed/yelled.  "You're father is a-" she stopped herself "an idiot" she finished and I sighed.

"It's not his fault, I never told him"

"That doesn't matter! Even after I told him he still thought that I was lying, that you were lying" she said and I could hear her frustration.

"It's OK mom, really it is"

"Just promise me if you're going to talk to him or see him you let me know first'

"Promise"

"Now get some sleep, you have school on Monday and I have work"

"Work?"

"Yeah I'm going back to SVU"

"Oh,..." I trailed disappointedly.

"Don't worry it's kind of like a part time thing if you think about it. They have too many people at the moment but I said I'd except half the salary and I'd come in when they need a hand" she explains and I nod. "Don't worry, you're safe now" she whispered kissing my forehead.
