A/N: I try my hardest to update every week. If I don't, then you get an additional chapter for every week I didn't post. ;) So, 1 ch=1week!

A/N: Olivia and Elliot are together in a relationship. She is 17, hence the title. Elliot is 21.

Ch. 1- Normal Day?

It was a chilly day in Manhattan, New York. The streets were full of cars, but the sidewalks were low on amount of people. It was a gloomy day. Olivia Benson was one of the people who walked in the city today. She just finished her school day, and she was heading home. She looked at her watch, it was already 2:45pm. Her legs hurt from running track and field, but that didn't stop her from getting home. She walked down 87th Street, her apartment was on 89th Street. There was an alley between her apartment and her school. She was always very cautious about crossing the alley. You could say she was a little paranoid, but she overcame that with time. However, today would be different.

She got home at three. Her mother was at rehab, so her boyfriend, Elliot, took care of her.

He was four years older than she, but they were inseparable. They'd talk on the phone for hours when they only meant for it to be a five-minute conversation. They'd laugh at each others' corny jokes, even if they weren't that funny. He was a Special Victims detective and a good cop too. Elliot was living in his own apartment, since being emancipated at sixteen. He wasn't always home until eight, but Olivia knew why.

"Hey Elliot, it's me, Liv. I just wanted to let you to know I'll be over Alex's house. I'll be home around eight. We have a science project. Love you. Bye," Olivia recorded her message into her boyfriend's answering machine. After she finished her Algebra home work, she walked to Alex's house at half past five. They had to do a model of the solar system. After going to Walgreen's to get craft supplies, they went to buy a snack. Olivia bought 99 cents worth of sour onion cream chips, and Alex bought Doritos for the same amount. When they got to Alex's house they brainstormed ideas on what they thought it should look like. They both agreed on having the sun in the middle and the other planets orbiting it. Ripping the pom-pom bag open, Olivia took a big, yellow, fluffy ball out.

"Alex, this could be our sun," Olivia giggled holding the ball up. Alex laughed too. She got the hot glue gun and glued it to a black pipe cleaner. Olivia found other pompoms to represent the other planets. She found a red one for Mars, a blue one for Uranus, an orange one for Jupiter, and a purple one for Saturn. By the time they finally got those one's to stop falling off the project, it was 7:50.

"Awe man! I gotta go! See you tomorrow Alex," Olivia said in a rush, grabbing her backpack and purse. They bid their goodbyes, and Olivia headed home. She was walking toward the alley when all of a sudden she heard a cry for help. Immediately, she did what her instincts always told her to do. Call 911! She quickly dialed the number, but her phone died just as the 911 call was responded to. She cursed under her breath, but the women's scream snapped her out of her self disappointment. Instinctively, she unzipped her backpack and grabbed her algebra book, hoping it would be enough to defend herself and the women. Before she knew it, she was running into the alley.

A/N: DUN DUN! And many chapters vary with length; some shorter, some longer.
