Owen wondered what was going through Liv's mind. Through out the whole day spent with his parents, he got the impression that her mind was somewhere else.
That's not to say that she didn't get on well with his family or that she was not her charming, smart and engaging self. She was happy and chatty, winning over his family in a heartbeat. He wouldn't be surprised if after today he and his mother were best friends. She did great. But she always seemed to be a bit preoccupied.
In lapses in conversation, she would drift off. He wondered where she went. He would watch her as she got lost in her thoughts. Sometimes though, he would catc
Owen wakes up the next morning to pouding on the door to his private rooms. Heavy, frantic pounding. His cell phone is ringing at the same time. Then suddenly the banging and the ringing stop, leaving him only hearing voices. A glance at the clock on the table beside of his bed tells him that it is only a quarter til six. He rolls over and pulls his covers up, ready to go back to sleep when suddenly his bedroom door bursts open and Jack rushes in. “Owen. Get up! The police are here for you!” Owen sits up so suddenly that it makes his head spin. Swinging his feet out of the bed, he doesn't even bother to get dressed, he
Liv spends the morning going over the profile of the killer with Owen and his parents. They write down what they know for sure happened, which was that the killer or someone inside the motel, stole the master key ring to gain access to all of the motel. They broke into Owen's workshop, his bedroom, and the room with which they killed the woman. Who knows where else they might have gone inside the place. They wrote down what they suspected but couldn't prove. That the killer had someone on the inside, to give them information about where the keys were hidden and which rooms where empty. Which would narrow it down to three employees
Owen's heart literally stopped and then kick started again. Her words penetrated his mind and he could not help the grin that spread across his face. She wanted him. Just like he wants her. Without thinking of the consequences or how bad of timing this is, he moves his hands over to cup her ass cheeks, pulling her tighter against him. He kisses her on the lips and she responds eagerly, opening her mouth and pushing her tongue into his mouth. When her greedy little hands move down to his shirt to pull it up, he smiles against her mouth, knowing exactly what she wants. But before he does anything else, h
Liv laid on the bed, looking up at the ceiling, fighting to catch her breath. Her whole body still tingled and trembled from the amazing bout of love making that Owen just introduced her to. “Are you okay?” He reacheds over to cup her cheek, to gently turn her head to face him. He is laying on his side, facing her where she lays on her back. He smiles at her gently and she nods at him. “I think so..” “I am so sorry!” He breathes and she freezes.
Owen sits in the jail cell, feeling completely hopeless. He had hoped that his parents would have him out by now, but they will not set his bond, so he is stuck in jail until they do. “Matthews you have a visitor.” The officer calls out from behind his desk. A minute later the other officer opens the door to allow the visitors to pass. At first Owen does not recognize the man that walks in, until he sees his father behind him. The man is his childhood friend, Jesse Landers. “Owen, son, how are you?&r
“Owen.” Liv looks up whe she hears Lacwy speak the name. Turning to face the woman, all she sees is a blur as her friend runs past her and launches herself at the tall, stoic figure standing in the doorway. Lacey wraps her arms around Owen, hugging him so tightly that Olivia feared that she would make his eyes pop out like one of those squezy, buggy eye toys. “I'm okay Mom.” Owen tells her, hugging her in return. He pats her back gently, but Andy must have seen it as him tapping out of the match,
She is trapped in there with him and with no way to escape. His rough hands are roaming all over her body. She can not let him rape her! Yet, if she fights him, she would be costing her love his life. That is not something that she could ever live with. “You really are exquisite.” He murmurs, running the back of his knuckles down the side of her neck. She just sat there, staring at the wall over his shoulder, trying to distract herelf from the icky sensation of his touch on her skin. But he roughly presses his his knuckle into the pulse at the base of her neck, his fingers digging in and making her
Owen moves beside his father as they head out into the darkness in search of the unknown figure that his mother saw. Neither of them have weapons, since Owen does not keep any at the house for far that the town's people would somehow know and that it would confirm every bad thought that they had about him. He does not want to confirm their lowest opinions of him, so he inhibits himself to please people that will never stop judging him. Although that realization is a nice little break through, it is not really very helpful to them at the moment, as they go to face a killer without a way to defend themselves.
December 25, 2008One year later Liv looks over at her husband and grins widely. Owen grins back at her, loving the way that she watches him with the baby. Their baby is the light of Owen's world and Owen loves her more than he ever thought that it was possible to. They had their daughter almost six months ago, because she was impatient and came a few weeks early. But her parents d
Liv looks at Jack, not comprehending the words that are coming out of his mouth as he tells her the news about Owen. “No.” “Liv.” “I said no, damn it!” She shouts at him, sitting up, trying to get off of the bed. “No. No, no, no! Fuck!” She smacks the remote on the side of the bed, knocking it to the floor. “Liv-” Jack sa
When Owen comes to once more he is being drug through the woods beside the motel, as officer Michaels makes his way around the motel. Owen can not really tell where he is going, from his position there on his back. Officer Michaels tugs at the rope that binds his hands without any regard for the discomfort that he is causing Owen. His shoulders burn from the way that they are being pulled and his arms ache. His head hits against a large rock sticking up from the ground and he winces. Owen struggles to keep quiet and to not make a
Liv looks at him, surprised by his words. “What did you say?” “Marty, the sheriff, is trying to draw out the killer. That is why he wanted it to look as if we were filming that interview live, so that come five o'clock, the killer would think that that we are all at the hospital. I think that Marty is hoping that he will go try to take another body to the motel. There are still three girls missing at the moment, that have not been found. He does not think that they will be found alive but he is hoping that if he catches the killer, maybe he can save some other girls.”
Liv looks around at all of the people shoved into her tiny hospital room. She is fighting back a panic attack and she knows that Owen is doing the same. He hates being around people and he hates talking about his past. She understands this and she thinks that he is so brave for being willing to even do this in the first place. She is so beyond proud of him. She is trying not to freak out by how hemmed in she feels. Like Owen, she does not do well in crowds. But if she is on her feet and able to move around, she can usually always
Owen could only stare at Liv, as she lay there in the bed with her beautiful teal eyes looking up at him, watching his every move. He stares back at her, almost not brave enough to believe that this is actually real, in case it his just his mind playing tricks on him. “Owen?” She is blinking at him, with tears on her lashes and he can not stand it. He rushes over to her and leans over her head, brushing the small beads from her eyes. “You are okay, baby!”
Owen spends three days and nights beside her bed, not leaving and barely eating. He has not showered or shaved. He changed clothes in her attached bathroom and gave himself a wash rag bath so that he would not stink, but that is the most that he would do. He would not leave her side for anything. Andy and Lacey brought him food and drinks. Jack and Andy ran the motel for him while Lacey spent her days at his side, keeping him company. Jesse and the sheriff got a story from Taylor, but it was all kinds of wrong. She claimed that Owen kidnapped her, with the hel
“Liv!” Owen's hart stops beating in his chest when he hears the deafening sound of the gun going off and he sees Liv fall backwards to the ground. He hears her cry out in pain and his stomach knots up. He can not breath and he feels his throat tightening up when she does not move. “No. No, no, no! Liv, get up, baby! Get up!” Owen cries, looking at her.
Liv watched Owen go down and an involuntary scream left her lips. “Owen!” She slides from the chair to fall at her knees, rolling him towards her and cradling his head on her lap. “Owen, honey, wake up!” She pats his cheek roughly and his eyelids flutter. The back of his head is bleeding and she can feel it seeping through her pants leg. She looks up at the person who hit him, ready to light into them when she notices the gun pointed at her face.
