This is my first story, so bear with me lol. I always am thinking up scenarios in my head so I thought maybe it's time to write it down.

This story came to mind after I just saw EW's article saying that season 6 starts on election night.. That got my wheels turning lol. Let's see how this goes!

Chapter 1

They were all in a huge convention hall getting ready for Mellie and Jake to go and give their speeches after the final votes came in. They were going to be the next President and Vice President of the United States. Everyone was on top of the world… all of the hard work was going to be paid off. The convention hall was alive with the buzz and energy of politics that Olivia loves so much. She felt some semblance of happiness for the first time since the night it all went wrong last December.

She knows that Fitz knows about the abortion. She knows that he accepts her choice… because of course he did, he is Fitz and he is in love with her. But she can't help but wonder if he still is in love with her. It's been almost a year since they broke up. They were friendly on the campaign trail. Sometimes even more then friendly. And then it just became downright flirty. One night they had too much to drink and it almost threw them back into the same dance that they always do. But that was early on, and then after that.. It was radio silence on the romance front. No more subtle flirting, or longer-than-appropriate gazes or touches. Liv assumed he was over it, when they almost took the leap once again, he realized how unhealthy it would be for him. She thinks he is finally over her. Even after all the times he said "I will never be over you". But on this night, where all of her hard work is finally paying off, she can't help but feel some semblance of happiness. Even though she thinks she has officially lost the love of her life.

Fitz is the only person who's on Mellie's team who does not have the 'top of the world' feeling. He understands why everyone is so happy. He is happy for Mellie too. But he's realizing that his chance to slowly get back in Liv's inner circle is long-gone. It was screwed up that night, and then, he really ruined it after that. Or at least that's what he thinks. He's certain that Liv is over him and that she's with Jake now. Now he has less than 2 months in office and then what? Move back to Santa Barbara alone? He can't live in that house… he cannot live in his and Liv's house without her. It would kill him every morning he woke up without her there next to him. I guess it's time to look into selling the house.

Olivia was fixing Jake's tie before he had to go on stage while the rest of her team was dealing with Mellie and her speech. Jake leaned in a little too close for comfort,

"I know you're not my biggest fan but i just need to tell you how amazing you look tonight," Jake whispered to Liv.

And it's true, she does look amazing. But she is done dealing with Jake, she can't even use him just for sex anymore. That part of their relationship has been over since she told him off in the church before his wedding. She went to therapy over the past few months and is finally mentally healthy and knows that she just wants Fitz… she will always just want Fitz. So Liv just smiles back at Jake's compliment. To a bystander, it would appear that they are a little cozier than just colleagues.

And of course, that is what Fitz saw. He noticed Liv helping Jake with his tie and then Jake's whispering, and Liv's gorgeous smile. That smile is one of Fitz's favorite things in the world. And here he is having to watch another man be on the receiving end of it. He let out a deep sigh, one that Olivia heard and made her turn her head to look at Fitz. When their eyes met, Fitz gave her a sad smile and a slight raise of the eyebrows and walked away.

Fuck, Olivia thought to herself, and then turned to Jake and said, "Personal space... Please. We have talked about this. And I know you're only acting like this because you know Fitz is watching."

Jake was silent.

Olivia shook her head, "remember to smile. Make eye contact with the audience," and then she walked away.

Fitz was standing over in the corner on his brand new iPhone. He decided that since he would be out in the real world again pretty soon, he better start to learn how to use all of the technology. He saw Liv walking over towards him out of the corner of his eye. He pretended not to notice and kept his focus on his phone. His heart was broken and he just couldn't deal with her right now.

"Well look at that shiny new thing," Liv happily said to him. "You're finally getting in touch with the times."

Fitz just chuckled and kept his eyes down. Eventually he quietly replied, "Yea I'm sure you're glad."

"Why?"

"Because you don't have to deal with clueless me learning how to work this thing. I'm sure Jake doesn't -"

Liv interrupted him, "Don't. Do not go there."

After a few seconds, which felt like hours, Fitz raised his eyes to look into Liv's and saw how broken she looked.

Liv continued in a slow whisper, "I have told you that nothing is going on with Jake. I have told you." Liv felt all of the emotions she had been holding in the past few weeks since 'the night where it almost happened' bubble to the surface and she just couldn't hold it in anymore. She pulled him into the dressing room a few feet away so she could freely speak her mind. "You're the one who distanced yourself. I thought we were making progress. I thought we were coming back to each other!" Liv was starting to cry and Fitz's heart was slowly breaking.

He tried to interject, "Liv…"

"No! I fixed myself for you. I got better for you. I went to therapy, which was the worst thing of my life… talking about everything to a complete stranger. Just so I could get better. So I would be the best me. FOR YOU. And then when we are finally almost there you blow me off. I know I have been the worst in the past. But when I finally try to be the best… you're done." Liv lowered her voice into a sad whisper, "I guess all of those times you said we would never be over didn't really mean much."

Fitz tried to talk again, "Olivia…"

Liv finished, "It's fine Fitz. If being done is what you want. That's fine. I will learn to live with that. But I want you to know," Liv's tears were freely falling by this point, "That I am in love with you. I am so in love with you. I haven't said it in so long, because I thought I didn't need to. I thought it was a given that we would always be in love… but, apparently, I wasn't right about that."

"No, you are -"

"Don't. I just needed to say it. I needed you to know how I feel about you, how I always have, and always will feel about you. I will always want you. I wish you all the happiness in the world, Fitz," and with that, Liv walked out of the room.

Fitz was stunned into silence. She is in love with me. He stared at the door that she just walked out of. She is still in love with me. She wants me. And with that, the wheels in Fitz's head started turning.

I am getting her back.

AN: So there it is guys! The first chapter! I will probably update pretty soon because I don't start back at college for 2 more weeks and I have a ton of down time.

(More inspiration from this story came from someone at an interview saying that Fitz was going to pursue Olivia once he was out of the White House.)

Next chapter will be a flashback of what happened on that night where they almost rekindled.

Please give me reviews! Be nice to the newbie!
