This is taken for season 16, Olivia is trying to move on from Cassidy she is still living in the Bensidy Apartment but it is Bens-idy Brian moved out now about 5 months earlier just after they had broken up.

Can Olivia move on and find some happiness and after she decides to take a chance on trying to find love what happens to question it who is it and what happens when she thinks she might have found it again or is it who and how does she react to it all.

A/N This is a test to see if I can actually write a fanfiction of Olivia with another character I don't know how long or if I can

I can't help myself I love writing fanfictions so haven't finished the others but they are not forgotten either.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo

Walking in to the apartment it had been 5 months since Cassidy had moved out, his stuff now gone and anything that reminded her of him put away. The photo they had hanging on the wall and photos in the frames on the bookshelf all gone, she had put them away not long after he had moved out they were a painful reminder of what she had given up the hard decision she had made to move on without him. The kitchen was slightly barer most things were hers, the bedroom now only her things in there the bed felt so empty for so long, some nights she would sleep on the couch she couldn't go there without his arms around her without him there.

The Christmas party was tonight she had made an excuse for ages that Cassidy was undercover it was easier to say that than it didn't work out, it was hard to say that she broke up with him, despite it all she knew Amaro would be supportive, he didn't really like him at first but over time they found out she broke it up she broke his heard he said I love you and she loved him so much but she wanted the family and to grow old with him and it hurt that he couldn't imagine that when she could.

Looking in the mirror she looked as good as she was going to, her hair down to her shoulders an slightly wavy a blue dress going to just below her knees and high heels the one time she gets to wear them. The good thing that no one in their squad was bringing partners the table would be to themselves.

Walking along her thoughts going back to 2 Christmas's ago she worked Christmas EVE helping Fin and Amaro well Fin, she had a flight to catch to the Bahama's her mystery guy Brian, she said she was going away with a friend and that was what it was but he was more the weekend away was amazing, they swam slightly but spent a lot of it in the hotel room the bed getting a work out it was special one of the best she had.

Opening the door walking inside it wasn't long until she saw Amaro and Rollins grabbing a drink walking up to them looking around seeing Fin and Lt Declan Murphy arrive.

Walking inside the building it was all decked out his eyes moving around coming to rest on her, she looked fantastic her pants outlining her figure her hair falling off her face the way her face lit up when she smiled and laughed, he wished he could ask her out but he couldn't it was wrong, would she even go out with him if he did ask, that he might never know.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooo

Arriving with the group walking inside his eyes moving around there she was standing with her team, he hadn't seen her in 5 months, not that he didn't want to he wanted to be there for her when Lewis killed himself wanted to come over and be with her but she shut him down, typical Liv not letting anyone in the only comfort he got was knowing Amaro and Fin would probably be with her but it wasn't he same, he knew she had nightmares still if only she had opened up to him and let him in but she didn't she wanted to protect him he would never know what she went through only could guess.

There she was looking just as fantastic as before she actually looked better more at peace with herself, was it the fact that Lewis was dead, or the fact that they had broken up had she moved on was she with someone else. He still loved her, he couldn't answer her that he wanted kids or grow old if only he knew now that she would break his heart all over again the only problem was this time it was worse he was well and truly in love with her he told her too late "I love you Liv" he should of told her earlier.

He wasn't exactly thrilled to work with IAB but it was a start in getting his shield back it was better than working at the Bronx but it was part of the start of their problems he wasn't able to talk about his work, she wouldn't open up.

Could he walk past her without saying hello damn she looked gorgeous he wanted to hold her again seeing the smile on her face he wanted to kiss her, walking over to the bar throwing back the bottle of beer he should of remembered she would have been here.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Looking around the room seeing Cassidy enter Nick's eyes turn to Olivia she hadn't seen him enter his eyes moving back to her he was protective of her he saw the way Cassidy just stood there staring at her the look in his eyes. It was a while before Olivia even opened up to him telling him they had broken up a few weeks after they had, after Lewis when Cassidy wasn't there for her, he didn't like him when they first met and was polite to him knowing that he and Liv were a couple and moved in together, he even started to like him seeing the way he treated Olivia and the way Olivia and him were together the dinner party at their place his arm around her the proud look on his face, Munch's retirement party the looks they gave each other, he was there for his partner when she needed someone the most he took care of her and for that he had started to like him.

Excusing himself away from his team walking over to Cassidy he was going to protect her nodding at him, "Cassidy please don't go up to Liv, leave her be"
Looking at Nick standing in front of him he tolerated him for Oliviás sake he was her partner and he knew he cared for her that much was obvious when Lewis kidnapped her "I think that is between me and Liv"

His eyes glaring at Cassidy "She is now happy Cassidy let her enjoy the night she's been through so much lately"

Glancing at Olivia she had told Nick, of course she would even as closed person he probably knew more than he did about what Lewis did to her "you're her guardian angel now something going on between the two of you?"

Shaking his head he sometimes seriously wondered what Olivia saw in him was he a good root was that the only reason "don't be a dickhead, I'm just looking out for her"

His eyes moving over to Liv he hated asking him but he needed to know and he wouldn't get an answer from her "how is she going?"

He could see the pain in his eyes "she is doing well as well as Liv does you know her Cassidy she is getting there, its been rough on her but she's coming through it, that is why I am asking please don't upset her"

Looking at Nick in disbelief "you think I'd upset Liv? I know more than anyone what that guy put her through, the nightmares she had the toll it took on her I just want to know she is ok"

Hearing the anguish in his voice "I know you wouldn't mean to just let her be Cassidy let her enjoy tonight"

Starting to walk away from Nick "I'm not leaving Liv is stronger than you give her credit for Nick she'd never go for you if that is what you're after"

Wanting to thump Cassidy to the ground "she went out with you Cassidy maybe her taste has improved now"

A smile on his face he remembered the conversation he had with Olivia once asking if something was going on between her and nick "don't be an ass" was her reply "she has taste Amaro you never did like the fact that Liv was going out with me, we moved in together"

Walking close to Cassidy wanting to wipe the smug look off his face "I knew she would wake up to you eventually and when she did, she sent you packing she is better off without you"

Shaking his head walking away from Nick unable to help himself "you think she'd be better off with you, you'd never get her into bed Amaro a guy can keep hoping especially since she is so good incredible even"

Turning around to face Cassidy his anger at this guy boiling over lifting up his fist he didn't care who was around, seeing Cassidy bring up his arm "you really want to do this here, for Olivia to see you doing this, this is what is going to upset her"

Trying to control his anger and breathing damn Cassidy "outside then"

Shaking his head at Nick he wasn't worth his time or effort "you're a piece of shit Amaro not worth my time, you'll never get Liv"

Hearing a voice "stop it, break it up, what on earth is happening here"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Trying to listen to what Rollins and Fin were saying her mind wandering trying to stop her eyes moving around the room, seeing Amaro move away from them.

Seeing Fin looking at her "you ok Liv"

Nodding at Fin she was fine, at an event like his full of other police officers she was vulnerable everyone knew what had happened to her even though it was a few months ago sometimes it still felt like yesterday "I'm fine"

He should of realized she would say that "we don't have to stay long"

Shaking her head "I'm fine Fin" what was she to say that she was looking around as she wondered if Cassidy was going to be here, that part of her wanted to see how he was that even though she pushed him away and broke up with him.

Seeing Fin and Rollins look at her as Rollins voice spoke "he's over there Liv" was she that obvious

Seeing Rollins look at Fin she turns around her eyes open wider hearing Fin's voice "it ok Liv I'll go over"

Shaking her head what was Amaro doing, shit what was Cassidy doing rubbing her face what was with the two of them she thought they had sorted out their differences now this

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Watching Olivia walk away with Fin Lt Murphy turns to Rollins hearing her voice "That's Olivia's ex, Detective Brian Cassidy"

nodding at Amanda he had heard pieces about the two of them "the guy she moved in with"

Nodding at Murphy "that's him amongst other things, he and Amaro never hit it off, jealousy or something he thought Cassidy was dirty and corrupt whilst he was UC then he found out he was screwing Liv well they were going out, but he got Olivia through the darkest times with Lewis"

He wanted to know more he wasn't into the gossip but he wanted to know more about Olivia and Cassidy "they are broken up then?"

Nodding at Murphy her eyes on the two of them as Fin walks over to them "yeah she hasn't said much but he wasn't there when she went through all that crap with Lewis shooting himself, he didn't come over or stay with her and she is now living there by herself so I'm pretty sure they are over"

His eyes moving back to Olivia walking over to both of them watching the scene did she have feelings for him still, was she over Brian Cassidy.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo

Following Fin watching as he tries to pull them apart her voice loud "stop it, break it up, what on earth is happening here"

Turning around hearing that voice the voice of the woman he still loved "Liv, you look great how are you?"

Looking up into his hazel eyes he looked great clean shaven his hair still quite short dressed not in a suit but he still looked hot and great his shirt opened slightly at the top exposing a bit of his chest she had to remain strong her eyes remaining on him trying to block out the memories the way her hands moved around his chest, her mouth moved around his chest and stomach how she ripped off his shirt, the shirts that she used to wear of his, she thought she was over him she was the one who broke up with him, but he was the one who didn't want to grow old and have a family with her, why did he have to say "I love you" look at her, why did he have to make it so hard, feeling tears come to her eyes she had remained strong for so long but now standing in front of her "I have to go"

Turning away abruptly running out of the ballroom into the dark cold night air leaning against the pole she didn't want the tears to fall for anyone to see her so vulnerable she had gotten through Lewis and what he did to her but seeing Brian again stirred up so many feelings in her

Hearing her name called out "Liv" trying to brush the tears away she didn't want anyone to see her like this.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo
