Sinners and Saints

Chapter 10

"Austin, kilode?" She snapped. "Please let me have my peace here." She warned. "You're free to jump in if you want but let me have my peace." She lifted her glass to her mouth and took another sip of her juice.

Austin scoffed.

He relaxed back into his seat, his legs tapping impatiently on the tiled floor before he heard another crash, a louder this time. Olivia's voice followed afterwards. She was begging, crying.

And he'd be damned if he sat still for a second longer.

He didn't care what the consequences would be. All he knew was that he had to stop Andrew from making the worst decision of his life.

"Where are you going?" Victoria asked as he stood up and hurried towards the door and as he drew closer, her sobs grew louder. He couldn't bear it. He couldn't sit back and watch Andrew hurt her like this.

He would do whatever he had to do to get her away from Andrew until he calmed down.

Whatever he had to do.

He pushed the door open.

He didn't know exactly what he'd expected to see but it definitely wasn't Olivia curled up on the floor. He hadn't expected to see her nose bleeding. He hadn't expected to see Andrew standing few meters away from her, his expression masked with shock, masked with fear. He looked so afraid...so sorry.

And he definitely hadn't expected the next words that came out of Olivia's mouth.

"Andrew, I'm pregnant."

God, she sounded weak. She looked like shit too and it hurt.

It hurt because he knew she did not deserve what she was getting. It hurt because he knew she deserved better.

"Andrew, get away from her right now." He said even if it was pointless.

The silence in the room was so cold now, only Olivia's tiny sobs filled the room. She was in so much pain while she tried to stop the blood that hurried itself out of her nose.

"Until when are you going to stop this Andrew?" Austin continued. He didn't care how close he was getting to his brother now.

He could see the look of pity and confusion written all over his face. It was like all that anger was gone that second as he had his eyes glued to Olivia. He just stood there still, staring at her.

"Olivia-". He took a step forward. She didn't know where the strength came from but Olivia found herself pulling her body back, away from him

"Olly," Andrew slowly squatted as he tried to reach for her "Olly I'm sorry."

"Stay away from me."

Austin exhaled,
He was so speechless. He didn't know what to say or do. He pulled his palm over his face with one stroke and let his both hands balance on his hips

"Olivia," Andrew was persistent, he had a lot of tears in his eyes now. "I-I didn't mean to, I don't know what came over me." He continued. Olivia sniffed. "You know I love you. I don't mean to ever hurt you."

"Stay away from me," she said with her shaky voice one more time as she held on to the only chair close to her that wasn't on the ground for support, wincing in pain as she tried to stand to her feet.

She couldn't do it anymore, she could take any of it anymore.

"I'm tired." She said trying not to look in his eyes till she finally did.

Olivia glared at him, her legs were shaky. She was done feeling sorry for herself, she was done crying.

"I want to leave this house Andrew, I can't do this anymore."
