Lizzie's POV:

My heart dropped at hearing what happened. I saw Robbie coming into the room but he quickly left seeing the state we were in. I trace some shapes on Lia's back and she hums. "Are you in pain?" I ask her softly. She isn't replying instantly but after a few seconds I feel her nod against me. "Yeah, but it's just a headache. I think the stress got me." she mumbles. "Do you want to tell me anything else?" she sighs and her body is becoming tense. I hold her tighter and rub her back up and down. "One step at a time, Lia. No is no." she hums and her body becomes less tense. "I have these flashbacks. When I'm having a panic attack I sometimes get these flashy images of the guys. It's not very clear but it's there. I-I  feel their hands, their lips, their breath, just everything. You know when I took drugs myself I was still in control, my body could move. But with what they used I couldn't move, I couldn't speak. I was just a toy. They played me like I was a doll. And when they had enough they just throw it away and find the next toy to play with. They are still out there. The police couldn't do more. They have some camera footage of the club but the images are unclear for face recognition." she shifts lightly in my embrace and sits up. She takes a deep breath and holds her shirt. "Lia, you don't have to." I squeeze her hand but she just shakes her head. She lifts up her shirt and it takes everything inside me to not make a sound. a few big scars scattered on her lower abondem. "I'm going to fucking kill them." I mutter underneath my breath. "It's okay, Lizzie. It has happened we can't do anything about it. I just hope it will fade eventually even if it's just a bit." she sighs and pulls down her shirt. "Thank you for trusting me and telling me Lia. I'm so proud of you. You shouldn't be ashamed of them. You're beautiful." I squeeze her hand and she taps my hand 3 times in return. "That's really our thing isn't it? How did you come up with it?" she asks. "My sisters. They used to do it with me when I was having panic attacks. It's just a small gesture but enough to know." I reply looking at her. She nods and grabs her phone. "Guess I need to thank them then. Maybe they'll become my favorite Olsens." I gasp and softly hit her arm making her laugh. "Thank you Lizard. For everything. I don't know what I did to have you here but I'm very happy it's you." I hug her tight and kiss her hairline. "I meant it when I said you're like my little sister, Lia. I'm here for you." she hums and tightens her grip. "I love you Lizard. Thank you for being such an amazing sister and role model to not just me but so many others." she mumbles against my chest. I feel the tears starting to come and I quickly wipe them away. I notice Robbie at the corner and I nod at him. I can't wait to introduce these two. "Honey, I want you to meet someone. Are you up for it?" I feel her bod becoming a little tense but I tap her back 3 times. She nods against me and lets me go. "Babe, come here please." Robbie slowly enters the living room leaving a little space between us.  'Hey Amelia, it's a pleasure to meet you. This one couldn't shut up about you." he points at me and I roll my eyes. I feel Lia shuffling and look over at her. "Hi Mr Arnett, it's a pleasure. I hope it's only the good stories." she gives him a soft smile. "Call me Robbie. I'm not that old yet." he chuckles and went to sit down on the chair. "Please, sit here. It should be you spending time with your wife not me. I'm going to call a friend and ask if she can do a walk with me." she gives us a smile and quickly leaves. I couldn't even say a thing neither could Robbie. I look over at Robbie and he frowns. "Is it my fault?" he asks me and I shake my head. "She went through a lot, babe. She needs a little time to ease up to you. It's not my place to tell but she needs time." I pull him next to me and kiss him. "I love you." he smiles and kisses me back. "I love you too Liz" now it's my time to smile. I snuggle against him and he wraps his arms around me. Lia ushers herself towards the front door. "Where do you think you're going?" I ask her with a slight stern voice. She immediately stops and slowly turns around, her eyes filled with a little bit of fear. Shit that wasn't my intention. "I-I-I uh- Florence is outside. I'm going on a walk with her and Billie. I won't be in your guys way and she'll look after me. I'm sorry." she fidgets with her fingers and my heart breaks. Good job Elizabeth, she opens up and you scare her. "Can you come here for a second?" I ask her with a soft voice. She walks over but her eyes are darting all over the place. Trying to find the escapes. I reach out my arm and she flinches and closes her eyes. I gasp and look down at my own hands. "I-I-I'm so-sorry liz. It's not you. It's my fault, please don't blame yourself. It's me." she rambles her eyes wide and filled with tears. I gave her a small smile and feel Robbie squeezing my hand. "It's not your fault honey. I shouldn't have used that voice. I just care about you and don't want you to get hurt. You're freshly stitched and your ribs are sore. I just need to make sure you don't do crazy activities." she nods and shuffles closer. "Flo is with me she'll look out and I don't think our child would let anything happen to either one of us." she smiles. I raise my eyebrow and look at her. "Your child huh?" I smirk and she starts blushing. "Billie, her name is Billie. She is so goofy and she didn't want me to get a dog so Flo decided she will be our child, Billie barked after she said it so now she is my kid too." she rambles playing with her fingers. "Ah so you guys are moms already. I knew lesbians were quick but you two really skipped a few steps." I tease her and Robbie chuckles softly next to me. "Lizzie stop teasing her. I can also tell her some stories of what you did when we first met?" I glare at him and he gulps. "Nah ah. Not happening." he nods and I pet his chest. "Alrighty, that's my cue." she giggles and walks to the front door. "Please text me during your walk okay? If you don't feel good you guys can come here, Billie as well. Be careful sweetheart." she smiles and nods. "I will Liz. Robbie it was nice meeting you. Have fun you two." she winks and leaves. I roll my eyes and Robbie chuckles. "I get it. She's special." he states. "That she is. I hope you two will grow closer. You know she is often in the studio with Madison. I think she would love to join you for a session." Robbie starts to smile and he nods eagerly. I giggle and lay my head back against his chest snuggling in his side.
