//Alright! Here we go! Hold on to your pants because I am about to create unnecessary drama! Here is the first part! I really want to add that I did not see it intentionally going this way, but sometimes the story takes over before I have a chance to rein it in. Honestly, looks like I am gonna be writing a third part to this. 

You sit at Forlini’s staring into your wine. You divert your gaze slightly, checking out the time on your phone, and still no texts from Rafael.  You sigh heavily, before you finally take a sip, setting it back down on the napkin. You were grateful for the fact that it had been such a busy day at work because it allowed you not to think.  

You glance up at the door, feeling disappointment because it wasn’t Rafael.  The words that Grace had said was getting to you and you knew it.  You had never felt such jealousy before…probably because you had never felt this way before.  Even when you had been engaged. 

You lean back in your chair.  You knew that Rafael was going to be here soon. After all he said he was going to be. You look up from your phone as you see the door open again and feel your stomach sink as Grace walks in.  You want to vomit, just seeing her face. 

Grace spots you as well, taking the seat next to you, not bothering to ask for your permission, “Where’s your man?” She quipped. 

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” You snap back. 

“Just asking for a friend. I left before him, and yet Olivia Benson was in the room. Not you. Funny huh?” You watch as the bartender sets Gin and Tonic down in front of her. 

“Do you get some sick pleasure out of this?” You turn your entire body towards her, silently begging her to give you a reason to punch her. 

“Considering the fact that neither one of us is going to end up with him? Yes.” She said smugly. 

“I am really fucking sick of you. I don’t get where you think you have the right to encroach on a relationship and think that you can try to destroy it? I mean what kind of woman does that to another woman? You really must hate yourself by trying to destroy another person’s relationship!” You finish your wine slamming down your glass so hard to the point that you think that it going to shatter, but somehow it doesn’t. 

You dig out the cash, tossing it on the bar, “For mine and her drink Tony!” He call out, pulling on your coat. 

“A real class act, huh?” She chided. 

You feel your body freeze over as your fists clench before you turn to her, “You know what?” You say calmly, “You choosing to be a lawyer was probably the only proper choice you made in your life. You are a special kind of slime ball.” You snap. 

“Quite original work you have there,” Grace laughed, “Thanks for the drink,” She winked. You leave so fast that you don’t realize that you left your phone sitting on the bar top. 

You can feel the autumn wind biting in your cheeks as you head towards his office. You need to just breathe, but it feels like your lungs are so tense that they refuse to inflate with air. You turn a corner before you realized that you are lost. You pat your pockets, cursing under your breath as you realize where you left your phone.  You pull your jacket tighter around yourself as your feel unease settle into your stomach. 

You look around and see a group of men coming towards you.  You try to think about what Olivia told you to do in these situations, but all you can think to do is cross the street.  Sometimes you hate when the way that you let your anger get the best of you. 

“Hey bitch! We told you to stop!” 

“Leave me alone!” You scream over your shoulder. 

“Hey, that’s no way to talk to a man!” He screams after you. 

You start to move faster, but realize it’s too late as someone shoves you against the wall behind you as you realize they are masked, “Are you in a relationship with Rafael Barba?” You feel the fear deep in your bones as you try to look anywhere else but his brown eyes. 

“Yea…Yes.” You stammer as you pray for your brain to snap into motion. That’s when you finally remember to just attract attention.  You take a deep breath, filling your lungs, “HELP! SOMEONE HELP ME!” You scream before you feel your head shoved into wall. You can see stars swimming into the vision. 

“Shut the fuck up!” One of the guy hisses. 

“Come on man! All we have to do is mess her up and then we go! Let’s go! Isn’t a swollen lip enough?” 

“If you are going to be fucking weak Luiz, leave.” The main guy hisses. 

“Ya know what? Fine. I am not taking part of this!” He hissed, “You’re a fucking dumbass for taking the money for this!” He snaps before you see him run away. 

“No!” You croak, “Please, I have money!” You feel as though you can’t catch your breath. You feel his hand wrap around your throat. 

“I don’t want your money ya hoe. I was paid to mess you up. Not take your cash.” He hisses as you see the ugly rose on his neck before you feel even more fists cascade onto your body.

You try to remember more details but the last thing you see are blue and red flashing lights before your body hits the concrete. 

***

You crack your eyes against the bright light over head.  You entire body feels like its a thousand pounds that you can barely move. You try to turn your head but it feels like you are moving like a turtle, “Rafa?” You mumble as you see his head perk up. 

“Hey, there Y/N. Take it easy. You were jumped. I just need you to stay calm. I am right here. Do you remember anything? Olivia and Dodds are out taking statements. Ok?” He said softly. 

You nod even though it feels like your head didn’t even move. The last thing that you see, before you fall back asleep, is how green his eyes are. 

–

You wake up hours later, this time able to slowly push yourself up.  You see Olivia sleeping in the chair instead of Rafael. You look around and feel panic close your throat before you realize that you are in a hospital. You feel your breathing becoming less eractic. 

“Olivia?” You croak and watch as she slowly comes out of her sleep. 

“Y/N. You’re awake! I sent Barba for a walk. He needed some air.  He is blaming himself for this.” She said softly as she takes your hand into hers. 

“Olivia…was…I…?” 

“No, shh. You are going to be ok. You were jumped. You have a broken rib and some bruising and lacerations but you are okay. I know you are tired but are you ready to give a statement?” 

“Yes.” You can feel how dry your throat is but you just want to get this done and over with. You can feel the tears pricking your eyes, “I tried to remember all the things you taught me bu-but I couldn’t!” 

“You did fight back. You scratched someone so hard that you got facial hair and plenty of DNA under your nails. You did really good Y/N. You screamed loud enough that someone called the police. Can you tell me what you do remember?” 

You watch as Olivia points her phone towards you, recording your statement, “I was angry…I got in an argument with Grace…the one Rafa works with…” You admit, “I left the bar…I wasn’t,” You take a deep breath before you continue, “I forgot my phone on the bar top, and I got lost. I didn’t know what to do. They just crowded me out of no where.” You can feel the tears running down your cheeks. 

“What did you get in an argument with Grace about?” 

“She has been flirting and trying to kiss Rafa…Carmen told me and Rafa did too. She got under my skin.” She cautiously swiped the tears from the one eye that she could see out of. 

“You are human and that happens,” Liv says to you soothingly, “Can you tell me anything else about the attack?” 

“They were paid to do it, and one of them had the ugliest rose on their neck.” You take a deep breath as you stare at the hospital regulated blanket. All the white was beginning to give you a headache. 

“You are doing so good. Is there anything else?” She questions gently, “No.” You mutter before you look down. 

“Okay,” She said softly and took your undamaged hand into her own. You knew that Grace was wrong, and you feel even more embarrassment as Olivia gently runs her hand over yours, “Why were you and Grace arguing?” 

“We were in Forlinis and she…she said that Rafa is in love with you.” You gauge her reaction before you hear her warm laughter surround you, “Grace has got some issues and it’s not the first time that I have been accused of that,” She said softly. 

You both look at Rafa, as he walks in,”She gave me a lot of useful information. I am going to go and start looking up the leads. Rafa, I need you to send me any of the threats that you have been getting,” She said before leaving. 

“We are going to get to the bottom of this. I promise Y/N. I want to kill whoever hurt mi corazon. I am so sorry I was late. I was going to call you, but I got lost in my paperwork and…God, I am so sorry.” 

You can see the pain in his eyes. You intertwine your fingers before you give a half smile, “It’s okay,” You say softly, “I know you would never have let this happen to me.”  

“I love you Y/N. This was not how I planned how to do it, but,” You watch as he pulls a box out of his pocket, “I can’t lose you and tonight really put that into perspective for me. Marry me Y/N. There is no one else I would rather wake up to every morning.” 

You feel yourself smiling, even though your face hurts, “Yes,” you murmur as he slides the ring onto your finger.
