This story just popped in my head. Let me know what you guys think.

Olivia has had a rough few months, her partner and best friend fell off the face of the earth. She decided it was time to get away for a few days maybe even weeks.

She walked up to Cragen's office and knocked softly.

'Come in.' Cragen called from inside. 'Hey Liv, what's up?'

'I wanted to know if I can take two weeks off.'

'Is there a reason?'

'I just need to get away from here for a few days. I'm thinking Miami, Florida.'

'That sounds like a great idea. You seem so stressed after everything that has happened. You know, you are one strong ass girl Olivia Benson. You somehow come through those doors with a smile on your face. I don't know how you do it.'

'It's hard but life goes on. So I can take the next two weeks off?'

'Of course. Just let the guys know so they don't think you are going to leave like Elliot did.'

'I will. Thanks Don.' She walked out of the door with a weight lifted off her shoulders.

'Hey guys, I'm going to be gone for the next two weeks.'

'Where you going baby girl?' Fin looked up from his desk.

'Florida. I need a break from all the shit that I've been put through.'

'With Elliot?' Nick asked.

'Yes and my brother and we have had some tough cases. I'm sorry I'm leaving you guys like this.'

'Just promise you will come back.' Munch walked up to her.

'I would never leave you guys like that.'

'Do you need a ride to the airport?' Amaro asked.

'I was going to take a cab.'

'Why spend your money? I'll take you when do you leave?' Nick smiled as he walked closer to her.

'Sunday, I have to be at the airport by 10.'

'Ok I will pick you up 8:30?'

'That would be great. Thanks. The rest of you be safe out there. See you guys in two weeks.'

'Bye Liv.' the rest of them said in unison.

Olivia got her things together and took a cab home. She called Casey and asked her to come over and help her pack.

'I can't believe you will be gone for two weeks. What am I going to do without you?'

'Don't worry Casey, you can call or text me. I will have my phone.'

'Ok, oh my god you have to pack this!' Holding up a tiny white bikini.

'No way!'

'Yes way! You have the perfect body and who knows you might find a cute boy down there.' She winked at her as she threw the bikini in the suitcase. An hour later and a few glasses of wine they were done.

'Thanks for coming over Casey. You are the best.' Liv gave her a big hug and walked her downstairs.

'Have a safe trip. If you need anything let me know.'

Olivia was so excited to be able to go on a vacation alone and not have to deal with any drama.

Sunday finally came, Nick buzzed Olivia's apartment.

'Who is it?'

'It's me Liv.'

Olivia buzzed and let Nick in.

'Wow Liv, you look nice.' Looking her up and down, she was wearing a white tank top and short shorts.

'Aha thanks Nick. Can you help me with my bags?'

'Sure only two?'

'Yeah.'

The trip to the airport was long but Nick and Olivia had a casual conversation. They finally reached the airport.

'Well I guess this is good bye. Have a great time Liv. If you need anything I'm just a call away.'

'Thanks so much Nick. Be careful out there.'

'I will. Have a few shots for me.' He hugged her.

'I definitely will.' She got her bags and disappeared inside the airport. She boarded the plane and as soon as she reached her seat she was fast asleep.

'Good Afternoon everyone, we will be landing in Miami shortly. The current temperature is 85 degrees, so ladies get your bikini's ready and thank you for flying with American Airlines.' The captain said of the intercom.

Olivia checked into her hotel and settled in her room. She took a cold shower and threw on a summer dress. She got her bag and sunglasses and walked along the boardwalk. She stopped at a bar for a few drinks.

A cute Italian guy with tattoos all over his arms and a nice 6 pack introduced himself. 'Hi, I'm Tony.'

'Hey Tony, I'm Olivia.'

'Nice to meet you Olivia. Where are you from?'

'New York City.'

'Wow really? I'm from Jersey.'

'That's nice.'

'What do you do for a living?'

'I'm a detective.'

'Interesting, I'm a lawyer.'

'That's nice. Are you married?'

'I'm divorced. How about you?'

'I don't have time for a relationship I am constantly at work.'

'My job tore my relationship apart. I guess I'm now married to my job.'

'Same here.'

'Well it was nice meeting you Olivia. Here's my number maybe we can meet up for dinner sometime.' He wrote his number on a cocktail napkin and gave it to her. She did the same.

By the time she left the bar the sun was setting, she went and sat on the beach to watch the sun set. From a distance she saw a man that looked just like Elliot, he had more tattoo though and a sculpted body. He was walking a dog along the water. She shook her head, 'I'm drunk. It's not him. It can't be.'

Olivia went back to her hotel room, ordered room service, enjoyed a movie and fell asleep. The next morning she was woke up early, she put on the tiny bikini that Casey had packed, got her beach bag, book, sunglasses and tanning lotion and headed to the beach.

It felt nice to be able to sit in the sun and not have to worry about anything. In a matter of hours, about fifteen guys had come up to her and asked her to play football, go swimming, or get a drink at the bar. She declined every offer. She took a picture of the beach and sent it to her friends at the precinct. She applied more tanning oil on her toned legs, flat stomach and thin arms. She looked like a fitness model. As she was enjoying a margarita, a man walked up to her.

'Hello Liv never thought I would see you here.' A familiar voice said.

Olivia looked up and was shocked to see who it was, the same guy she saw yesterday walking the dog.

'Elliot?' she said as she stood up on her elbows. 'Well there goes my vacation. Fuck!' she thought.

'Olivia.' He smiled down at her.

'What…What…What are you doing here?'

'I've been living here for a few months.'

'That's nice, how have you been?'

'I've been better. How about you?'

She looked down, does she lie or tell him the truth. 'You know the answer to that Elliot.'

'I'm going to let you enjoy the sun, how about I come to your room tonight and we talk about things?'

'Give me one good reason I should do that.'

'I don't have an answer to that.' He started to walk away.

'El, wait. I'm in room 513. Come there at 7.'

'Thanks Liv.'

She called Casey as soon as he left.

'Hey Liv what's up?'

'He's here!'

'What?'

'He is here!'

'Olivia are you ok? Who's there?'

'Elliot! Elliot Stabler!'

'Are you serious?'

'Yes.'

'What happened?'

'He came up to me, and he said he wanted to talk to me. And he's coming to my room tonight at 7.'

'You call me as soon as he leaves. Oh and wear that red mini dress. Show him what he left behind.'

'Will do, bye Casey.'

It was 5 when she gathered her things and walked to her room. She took a shower, shaved and curled her hair. She slid on the red dress with black heels. 7 o'clock came around and there was a knock on the door.

'Hey Elliot. Come in.' He was wearing white shorts and a blue polo top with tan shoes.

'Wow Liv, you look nice.'

'Thanks.'

There was an awkward silence as they sat on the balcony overlooking the ocean.

'I'm all ears Elliot. Tell me, why you left, why you never said good bye, why you did this to me?'

'Olivia, I shot a girl an innocent little girl. Do you realize what that did to me?'

'I know Elliot but you could have gone to therapy or something.'

'I couldn't deal with therapy. That shit doesn't work.'

'Yeah but running away totally does.'

'Maybe I shouldn't have ran away but Olivia a little girl. I killed a girl just to save a rapist.'

'You saved a lot of people Elliot.' Tears started to form in her eyes. 'You saved me, Fin, Munch, Cragen and a lot of other people.'

'I couldn't deal with it. I'm still trying to get over it.'

'You won't get over it Elliot. You never will. You learn to deal with it, and continue with your life.' She placed her hand on top of his. 'Everyone misses you Elliot, your kids especially.'

'I never wanted to hurt you Liv. I just panicked. '

'Partner's for 13 years and not even one phone call.'

'I didn't think you would want to talk to a child killer.'

She got up and sat on his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. 'I forgive you for what you've done Elliot to Jenny. I just can't forgive you for what you have done to me.'

He wrapped his arms around her waist.' And I don't expect you to forgive me anytime soon.'

Olivia's head was on his shoulder. 'Liv, look at me.'

'I can't Elliot.'

'Please Liv just look at me.' She slowly lifted her head and looked at him.

'I'm sorry for the pain and suffering I put you through. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about you. 'She gave him a half smile and kissed his forehead.

'I think you should go now Elliot. Please.'

'I don't want to leave you ever again Olivia.'

'Elliot this is just too much.' She sniffed as she got off his lap.

He pulled her back down and kissed her. 'Elliot I can't do this.' He kissed her neck.

'Elliot I said stop, please leave.' She pushed herself off of him.

Elliot got up and walked towards the door. 'I'll call you tomorrow Elliot.'

'Good Night Olivia.'

As he disappeared down the hallway Olivia closed the door and tears fell down her face. How was she supposed to forgive a man that hurt her so bad? She missed her best friend but is she really ready to allow him back into her life? Olivia barely slept that night; a thousand things ran through her mind, the kiss, their friendship, what people at the precinct would say.

Reviews are fabulous ! :)
