After Usher and Olivia left the party, Leonardo went back to the dinner table. He looked at Ellanora and said, "Because you're miserable, does it mean you have to make everyone else miserable!"
Ellanora kept eating and didn't bother to look at him.
Leonardo pounded the table, "NORA! You are such a, a, a"
Angel looked at her baby boy and then to her husband. "Nardo, sweetie, go ahead and call a cab and go to your love. I'll speak with Nora. Go ahead honey."
Leonardo left the dining room and stormed out the house call a cab from his phone.
Angel asked Nora to go into her room. "Was this your plan?"
Ellanora replied, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about how you acted at the table."
"I'm drunk, does that really even matter."
"It does sweetie." Angel placed her hand on Ellanora's shoulder. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave. You've disrupted the peace in my family's home. I cannot allow you to ruin the rest of holiday."
Ellanora looked at Angel in complete disbelief. She placed her head down, "Ok. I understand. Can I stay here until my cab comes."
"Sure sweetheart. Just stay in my room." Angel left. She didn't want to do it but Nora disrespected her home and family. It was the first time her family was all together and happy. Ellanora should've kept her composure even if she was hurting it gave her no right to hurt anyone else. Especially Olivia. She seemed very sweet and sort of reminded her of a younger version of herself.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Usher just got to the campus. "Are you going to be ok to walk to your dorm?" Olivia asked Usher. He was extremely drunk. He stole some bottles of beer from the De Mare's home and drank all of them on the way back to the campus.
"No O. If the couch catches me this drunk *hick up* then I'll be benched and I ain't no bench warmer! *hick up*" Usher stumbled out of the car.
She laughed at how drunk he was. Olivia got out the car and was his crutch on the way to her dorm. "You could sleep on the couch I guess. I'm pretty sure Leo won't mind."
Usher looked at Olivia then smelled her hair. "Man is he lucky."
Olivia ignored his comment, considering that he was intoxicated, she didn't take any consideration to what he was saying.
Once they arrived at her dorm, she placed Usher on the couch, went to the kitchen and got a bottle of water. "Here, drink this. I'll go in my room to find some Advil or Tylenol. I heard that was a good remedy to prevent a hangover."
After a few seconds of her being in her room, Usher stumbled in and was leaning against the doorway. "Hey sexy."
Olivia looked at him and laughed, "You're too funny. Get back on the couch. Did you finish your water?"
"No. But there's a big glass of O I would like to drink." He stumbled towards Olivia, hugged her and started kissing on her neck.
"Ush, stop. You know I'm with Leonardo."
"So! Why does he get to have you, and I've waited for years! What makes him special?"
"He's my soul mate. I love him more than just with my heart. I love him with my soul. We have a special bond and connection that you don't seem to understand, and we definitely never had."
"Well maybe that might be the case. But I deserve to have all of you." Then he threw Olivia on her bed and got on top of her trying to kiss her.
"Get off of me!"
Usher got mad and then slapped her. "Shut up! I love you! You wanted to hold out on me but not for that white boy! No. I've waited three years for this and I'm going to get some of that pussy!" He began to pull her panties down.
"Stop! Please get off of me! Don't do it!" Olivia started hitting him and scratching him. She attempted to push him off her but the way he was on top of her, he didn't even budge. When she heard his zipper unzip and his pants hit the floor, she began to cry and scream for help.
Usher covered her mouth. "Shut up!" He pulled hisself out of his boxers and right before he was about to enter hisself into Olivia, Leonardo came in.
"Get the fuck off her!" Leonardo yelled with some much anger. He grabbed Usher by the back collar of his shirt and pulled him off of Olivia. Then he upper cut Usher in his stomach and gave him a right hook in the jaw. "Get the fuck out of her. Ever come near her again, I'm gonna kill you!"
Usher got him from the floor after Leonardo's right hook and tackled Leonardo to the opposite end of the room.
Olivia screamed "Stop it! Just get out Usher!"
Ignoring Olivia's plea, they continued to fight. Usher jabbed Leonardo in the face a few times causing his nose to start bleeding. Leonardo upper cut Usher's jaw and sent him flying in the air. Then Leonardo got on top of Usher and began punching Usher in the face several times.
Olivia got scared and grabbed Leonardo's arm, "Babe that's enough." Leonardo almost didn't stop. He blacked out. All he knew was that Usher tried to take Olivia's kindness for weakness. All he knew was that his love might have been raped if he was a second too late. All he knew was that he wanted to kill Usher for hurting Olivia. He then looked at Olivia's scared face and saw a bruise.
"Did he hit you?" Leonardo asked her. Olivia quickly covered her face. She has been crying during the whole time. Leonardo looked at Usher. "So you tried to rape her and you hit her?" Then Leonardo punched Usher again.
"Leo, please stop. Just kick him out. Please." Olivia never seen Leonardo so angry before. It frighten her, yet at the same time, she knew that he would always protect her.
Leonardo saw the fear in Olivia's eyes. Even though Usher harmed her, she was still sweet enough to worry about that dirt bag. Leonardo got off from on top of Usher. Usher rolled over and spit out blood. Usher's eyes were swollen. His left eye more than the right. His face was completely bruised and scarred. Usher's handsome face was almost unrecognizable. "Get the fuck out before I kick your ass again."
Usher, still intoxicated, now is completely sore stumbled out the dorm. Leonardo shut the door behind him and locked it. Usher knew then that Olivia was never going to talk to him again. It was official. He would never be with her and once again, it was all his fault. What was I thinking? he said to himself while he stumbled to his dorm and holding his ribs.
Olivia sat on her bed. She was in total shock. She couldn't believe that Usher would do that. She couldn't believe that he would do that to her. All the years she's known him, she never thought in a million years that he would try anything like that. Once Leonardo came into the room, she began to cry hysterically.
Leonardo held her. He didn't know what to do or say. He couldn't believe what happened. He was pissed at himself because he felt none of this would've happened if he left his parents' house with her. He could've kept her safe. He felt like he failed and that he failed her. He was hurt.
For the rest of the night he held her as she cried. Olivia cried herself to sleep in total shock that someone she knew for years and used to love could hurt her like that. She felt like she didn't know Usher at all.
