Elli parked the car in the lot. Turning the lights off looking over at me, I handed him his food but he softly pushed it back into my hand. I looked at him confused, slowly putting it back into the bag

" Wha-

" We're talking first.."

" Oh- uh.."

" Okay what's going on with you..."

He stared at me. I pressed my lips together shrugging, I sat straight setting the bag on the dashboard. Shifting slightly rubbing my arm

" Liz"

I looked over at Elli. Fear flowed through my body even thinking about it, I shook my head looking down. Scratching my neck

" Don't... Don't worry about it"

" We're not going in until I know what's wrong."

He locked the car doors and my eyes widened. I took a deep breath, my heart dropping

" Well, I don't want to ruin anything... Just don't worry about it"

" Liz you won't ruin anything.. Just tell me"

" Elliot just stop... Don't worry about it..."

" Liz... I-.. I'm,, here for you."

I looked over at him. Staring at him oddly, I sighed heavily. Rubbing my neck shaking my head

" I don't know if you really are..."

" Liz, if you can trust Jay... You can trust me.. Liz I'm not a bad guy, I swear.. When we first met I was in a bad mood, but Liz I swear I'm here if you need anything..."

" I- I don't know..."

" Liz... Talk to me"

" I don't know! Alright!? I'm scared an- and tired! I just want to be home... I want a home... I need somewhere to feel safe, just for once.. Just once in my life! "

I covered my face quickly. Regret hit me and I began crying, apologizing repeatedly for yelling at him. Hiding my face in my sweater, groaning. Rocking back and fourth

" I'm sorry...."

" No, Liz... Stop..."

He wrapped his arms around me and I flinched, he just pulled me into a hug laying my head down on his shoulder, I sat there for a moment but my arms were quick to wrap around his and hold him close. My nails dug Into him without question

" Liz, look at me.. tell me what's wrong"

I sat back looking at him. He stared at me, his once stern brown gaze was now a soft stare. His eyes filled with concern..

" Mark... I've known him longer than you think... He-

" Was he the one who hurt you the other night?"

I nodded my head. He sighed, brushing back my baby hair's. Wiping my face down, he held his hand to my face and I grabbed it softly holding onto the back of his hand with mine

Cupping my face into his hand, his warm safe hand.. I clenched it tighter in my grip looking up at him

" Elli... More happened..."

" What happened?"

" He- I was- This morning... I was showering, I had Jay go back out... To get everything to make you your cake.. A- And he.. He.. Elli, he raped me..."

His eyes widened. He grabbed onto both sides of my face softly, I held onto his wrist. Staring at him as I continued to cry, my body shaking in fear
