Stressed

Run from Mother

Maddie's POV

I awake to the buzzing of my phone. The date is Saturday January 24. I look down and see texts from my enemy Jennifer Jones and her clique.

SLUT!!
WHORE GO DIE!
GO KILL YOUR SELF!
I read about twenty more, and I cry a little. Hearing those things about me wasn't a great way to start my day. I wish it would just stop. I wish she would just disappear or I could just disappear. I get dressed and grab by bag and slouch it over my shoulder escaping down the stairs unnoticed by my mom.

I get on the bus and feel my phone buzz; my mom is calling me. I ignore her calls and texts and take the bus to Queens.

I get off the bus and knock on the door to my favorite person in the world, Elliot Stabler's, house. He lived here as long as I've known him, but now without his wife. He's changed since they divorce, but what do I know?

"Hi can I come in" I look at his blue eyes a little scared at what he would say.

"Of course. Where's mom?" He asks motioning for me to come in

"Home" I respond plainly

"Why? Does she know you are here? She is probably so worried."

"She doesn't know where I am. I ran away"

"Why did you run away?" He puts a hand on my shoulder and begins taking off my coat for me.

"I needed to escape. I can't tell her anything there's no way. She'll hate me." I hug him instinctively.

"I'm gonna call her. Okay, Maddie?" he looks at me empathetically wiping the new tears that started to drip down my cheeks.

"Please don't...I don't want her to know where I am."

"I have to tell her you are ok"

Elliots POV

"I have to tell her you are ok" I can tell she seems so broken I need to get through to her. I can't imagine how she must be dealing with what happened after the shooting.

"I will be right back"

I step out of the room calling Liv

"Elliot! Maddie... she ran away" she cries into the phone.

"It's ok Liv she's with me baby" I whisper soothingly into the phone

"Oh why... Ok I'll come get her?"

"It's fine I'll bring her home around 2" I look at my watch, and it's 10:16. I had the day off today because I was supposed to be in court, but the hearing was postponed.

"Ok thanks, El. Ask her what's wrong please. I love you"

"Love you too baby" I smile and hang up the phone.

I go back into the room where Maddie was sitting and I see she left me a note

I couldn't tell you what's wrong. Please don't be mad at me Elliot. I love you, and I just want to make your lives easier, not more difficult. Don't come looking for me.
Love you, Madison.

I look at the note and leave going to find Maddie. What could possibly be worse than a life without her and Olivia? That kid has a place in my heart that no one but my own children can hold. I lock my door and get in my car.

Olivia's POV

I go outside my apartment and take a walk to Central Park which is only three blocks away. I was contemplating going to Elliot's to find out what was wrong and why Madison left. She shouldn't have skipped school without telling me, let alone get on a bus to Queens. My mind drifted to a few weeks ago when she was shot the last time she ditched school. My heart sank and I looked down at my phone dialing her number as I crossed the street.

As I approach the entrance to the park, I nearly get hit by a cab dropping a girl about Maddie's age off at the park. I look at the girl again and see that it is Madison.

"Maddie!" I run over to her and she turns back quickly and then bolts away from me into the depths of Central Park.

After getting only a few yards she collided into the chest of Elliot Stabler. I caught up go then quickly.

"Why did you run away?" he pulls her close to his chest. Maddie was trying to escape.

"Maddie calm down" I jog over to them. "What's going on?"

"Calm down! How am I supposed to calm down?" She shakes a little still in Elliot's embrace

"Hey...what's wrong" I touch her shoulder lightly and she turns and jumps into my arms trying to and hold back tears

"What happened?" I look into her brown eyes that matched mine

"This" she takes out her phone filled with about fifty messages from this girl named Jennifer Jones calling her every dirty name you could think of.

"Oh baby when did this start?"

"A few months ago" she cries trying to take her phone back

"Baby girl this is bad. We are gonna go to the precinct so we can talk more. Ok?"

She nods her head still leaning her head against my chest.

She cries some more. My heart breaks seeing my baby like this, so broken, so damaged, and hurt. Worst of all is she pretended like nothing was happening. How can I blame her for wanting to skip school when this is what she's dealing with. Elliot looked at us confused. I just sighed feeling overwhelmed and like a failure. Again.
