“I think he went to check on Liv,” their mom answered as her husband held her against him.
“Wish he could talk her out of this,” Jess sighed.
“You’re not the only one Sis,” Dan agreed saying a quick prayer for something horrible to happen to Scott before she got there. If he ever saw the guy again he’d kill him.

“Liv don’t do this, sweetie,” Will said catching her as she went to leave the bathroom.
“I have to,” she replied, wishing she didn’t so she could stay right here feeling safe with him.
“Livy, please,” he stated sliding an arm around her waist bringing her up against him as he slid his other behind her head.
“Don’t Will,” she said so quietly he barely heard her. It wasn’t a plea to not touch her, it wasn’t a plea to let her go either as she settled further into his body, making it wake entirely.
“I want to Livy. I have for months now. Ever since we were in Vancouver and you did my tie for me, I’ve wanted to come between you and Scott; now I wish I had,” he said as he lowered his forehead against hers.
“If you had he would have killed you; he still will if I don’t do this.”
“Please be careful sweetie. I want to stand between you and him keep him as far from you as possible, but I can’t, can I?”
“I wish you could too,” she admitted to them both. “Will, the last few months…I never wanted to leave Vancouver that day. I wanted to be there or anywhere he wasn’t, and it was because you were there with me proving that I wasn’t what he said I was.”
“I want to kiss you Livy and now that I know what he’s done to you I’m terrified that you won’t come out of that cabin or if you do…”
“I won’t be me? The thought of going after him is scaring me beyond anything else. I know what he can do, and you don’t want to. I just…if I kiss you right now, I’m not going to want to go and I have to, you understand that, don’t you? No one else angers him the way I do.”
“I understand but I don’t want you to…and I’m coming with you. I won’t let him hurt you and not be there to protect you afterwards. Not this time,” he promised leaning his forehead back against hers as he held her head in his hands.
“You always were,” she said giving herself a few more minutes with him in case it was the last good thing she ever had. If Scott did kill her she’d make sure to remember this because it was far better than anything that would happen later.
When they reached the cabin, her hands shook as she got out of the car and marched towards the doors. Everything inside her was telling her that she shouldn’t be here, doing this, but if she didn’t it would never end. She would constantly worry that he’d get off and come after her. At least this way she knew there was a possibility of her walking back out of the cabin, no matter how slim.
She pushed open the door and slammed it behind her glaring across the space as he jumped up. “You disgusting bastard!”
“Watch your mouth you bitch. What the hell are you doing here Olivia?” he demanded stomping towards her.
“Those women…” she said flipping the channel to the news station that was replaying the bit again. “Youdid it, didn’t you? You killed them.”
“You’ve lost your mind Olivia,” he laughed.
“No, I haven’t…you killed them. I know you did. You were always out here, slinking around like a snake. You killed them. Why?” she demanded, pushing him away as he reached out for her.
His eyes grew dark and blazed with anger that she dare defy him and he grabbed her arm slamming her back against the dresser. “You don’t raise a hand to me you bitch! You want me to show you what happens when you misbehave again?”
“Go to hell, Scott. Get off me,” she said pushing his chest with her hands. “You are a disgusting bastard; why them and not me?”
“Why keep you alive all these years?” he asked twisting her wrist until she felt it snap. “Because I love you…”
“You don’t know what love is. You’re sick and delusional,” she said shaking with the pain. He shoved her again as he stepped away and she reached up with her good hand and smacked him. “Admit it…you killed them.”
“Don’t youeverraise your hand to me,” he stated wrapping his hand around her neck slamming her against the wall before throwing her across the room making her crash into the coffee table. She tried to get away from him and up off the floor, but he was quicker and managed to kick her before pulling her up by her hair.
“You want to know why I killed them?” he asked wrapping his hand around her throat again. “So, I could shut you up, your constant need for me to be a good guy…but you didn’t want him, did you? You wanted someone to show you how much of a bitch you really are, and I have. So don’t worry I won’t kill you the way I did them. They meant nothing but you…you’renevergoing to leave me. I love you Olivia, you’re mine, and you always will be.”
“Put your hands up Scott,” Jake stated as they came in. He couldn’t believe the mess or what he’d heard but he knew it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Her eyes clearly showed that she wasn’t as afraid as she’d what Teri had mentioned. “Let her go…and put your hands up.”
“You set me up?” Scott raged flipping her around in front of him as he took out a knife from his pocket. He flicked it open and held it to her throat and Jake saw her fear intensify.
