Disclaim: So I was walking along the street one day and I realized that I was broke and I need money for food then it all hit me at once! I am not dick wolf and this is not a tv show. But I still haven't had the heart to tell my brother this yet.

Chapter 1: Heartbreak

It was a dark and foggy night in Queen, New York. Olivia was sitting on the couch watching Gilmore Girls. She knew she should have told Elliot she was going to be back tonight from visiting Simon in Philly. She figured she would just surprise him. She looked at the clock on the wall too see what time it was. Normally Elliot would have been home before Gilmore Girls ended. It was now 8:30. She decided to go and put on her pajamas and wait for him in bed.

An hour had passed and just as Olivia began to pick up the phone to call him she heard the front door open and rustling coming from down stairs. It didn't sound just like one person. Olivia slowly crept down the stairs so no one would hear and she peeped around to see who was there.

What she saw was enough to drive a recovering alcoholic insane. There the man she thought loved her and she thought she could trust, in between the legs of his ex-wife who was perched up on the kitchen counter with making out like wild horny teenagers. Olivia's gasp gave her away and both Elliot and Kathy jerked their heads around to the sudden noise. Olivia quickly ran up the stairs and packed her things to leave. When Elliot saw Olivia, he immediately regretted ever touching Kathy. He couldn't believe that he was cheating and she had caught him. He pulled away Kathy and ran up after Olivia.

Olivia was almost finished packing up her things when she felt Elliot's presence. Elliot walked up behind her and tried to wrap his arms around her. She pushed him away from her fairly hard, and held her palm up to stop him from coming any further. "You stay away from me." She picked up her bags and ran down stairs.

"Liv! Please. It's not what it looks like. Baby, I'm so sorry."

"Shut up!, just shut the fuck up." Olivia growled before walking out the door. But before she left she turned to Kathy who was beet red from embarrassment, "Congratulations, you got your husband back. I really hope you guys are happy."

Elliot tried once more to stop her. "Olivia please come back in. its eleven o'clock It's not safe out this time at night."

Olivia turned and glared at him with so much venom and pain in her eyes. "Don't start acting like you care."

"Olivia, where are you going to stay? I'll drive you."

Not paying any attention to him. Olivia started walking down the street. Olivia tried to tell herself so hard not to cry and tried to think of Elliot as just another guy she let get too close to her heart. Olivia walked to a bench in the park and pulled out her phone. She hated to call and bug Casey but she didn't have anywhere else to stay until she got an apartment. Olivia had moved in with Elliot to save an extra monthly bill.

"Hey Case, it's Liv."

"Hey Liv, what's up?"

"Nothing much, you?"

"I'm just chilling out on the couch. When didn't you get back?"

"About 6 this evening. I know it's late and you're probably resting but is there any chance you can come and pick me up?"

"Liv, we're friends of course I'll come. Where are you?"

"I'm at the park I-"

"Liv what the fuck are you doing at the park this late at night?! Why didn't you call Elliot."

"I know It's late I'm sorry I called."

"No, Liv. It's no problem. I just wanna know why you haven't called Elliot."

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I'm settled in somewhere."

"Ok. Well I'm on my way ok?"

"Okay, See ya" Olivia hung up her phone and just sat down on the bench until Casey got there.

20 minutes later Casey's sexy red Lexus pull up to the park and honked for Olivia. Olivia picked up her bags and things and put them in Casey's trunk. Once she got in the passenger's side Casey took off driving.

Casey turned and noticed that Olivia had been crying , "Hey, what's wrong?"

Olivia shook her head and whispered, "Nothing."

"It has to be something that's got you crying."

"It's nothing, seriously, I'm fine."

"Uh huh…" Casey mumbled continuing to drive. 20 minutes later she pulled up into the driveway of her huge mini mansion.

Olivia smirked looking at it. "It seems like this place gets bigger and bigger every time I see it."

"I have like a shit load of junk everywhere inside so don't tease me about how junky my house is." Casey chuckled helping Olivia with her bags. She unlocked her house door and let Olivia in first.

Casey took Olivia and her things up to the guest room and helped her get settled in. When they were finish Casey made both of them some coffee and they sat down on the couch to talk. "Okay, now spill."

Olivia played dumb and asked, "Spill what?"

"Stop playing stupid Liv, you know damn well what I'm talking about. What's going on with you and Elliot?"

"We…he's been cheating Case." Olivia began tearing up again.

"Oh my- I'm so sorry Liv. What happened? How did you find out?"

"I was at his house and….he and Kathy came in"

"Whoa whoa, Kathy? As in ex-wife Kathy?"

"Yeah." Olivia nodded and wiped her eyes.

"Son of a bitch. I'm so sorry. You can stay here as long as you want Liv."

"I'm going to try and find an apartment tomorrow. It shouldn't be too long or too hard to find one. I don't need that much room."

"Nonsense Liv, take your time."

"Thanks Casey." Olivia smiled sadly. "I think I'm gonna try to get some sleep I still have a job to go to."

"Ok, good night. If you need anything just help yourself. Mi casa es su casa."

Olivia shook her head and smiled at her best friend's goofiness. "Night Case, thanks."

Olivia went to sleep fairly peacefully and work up 4 hours later to get ready for work.

Olivia arrived at work early to get a head start on her paper work. Although Olivia didn't want to work with Elliot anymore, she didn't feel the need to want to run away from the job. She had every right to stay and she wasn't about to let him run her away from it.

Elliot entered the room about ten minutes after she did. He immediately ran up to talk to her. "Liv, we need to talk."

Olivia looked at him as if last night never happened, even as if they had never gone out. "Is it about a case?"

"No, Liv you know what it's about. Please come on."

"NO. Okay, here is the deal. My name is Olivia. And from here on our relationship is strictly professionally. What you do in you spare time is your business vice versa." Olivia explained professionally "So, to save an unnecessary argument don't ask." With that, Olivia walked away from him confidently and sat down at her desk and engaged herself in her paperwork.

It was around lunchtime and Casey came in while they were doing their work. Elliot saw her coming in and greeted, "Hey Case."

"Pig" she mumbled giving him a stern look.

Elliot was about to say something before Olivia came back from a scene with Chester. Olivia smiled at Casey. "Hey, let me grab my wallet and then we can go."

Casey nodded and smiled as Chester wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Hey, babe."

Chester kissed her bubble gum lips and responded, "Hey where you ladies going?"

"Shopping for a bit, wanna come?"

"I think I'll pass. You can think about me though. I need some new shoes." They both looked down at his worn out shoes.

Casey started giggling at him and said "I'll pick some up for you."

"Okay, I'll see you at home." Chester winked and walked away to the restroom.

Casey rolled her eye and smiled. She was waiting for Olivia to comeback from getting her wallet and decided to grill Elliot for awhile. "So, did going back to your wife help?"

Elliot didn't have time to respond because Olivia came back. "Hey you ready Casey?"

"Yeah, let's go."

Elliot sat at his desk alone since everyone was out doing their own things. While Elliot was sitting at his desk Kathy walked through the door. "Kath, what are you doing here?"

"Elliot, we need to talk."

"Okay, what's up?"

"I- we made a big mistake. I can't do it anymore."

"Kathy what are you talking about."

"Jason just proposed to me and I love him with all of my heart. The kid love him and he loves them. Elliot I'm sorry but I just can't be with you. We made a mistake. I'm sorry." Kathy gave him a sad look and whispered, "Goodbye Elliot." Kath walk out of the door.

Olivia and Casey were walking throw the show department looking threw the clearance rack. Casey found about a hundred pairs of shoes that she like but only chose six pair. Olivia was amazed at the collection of shoes this woman already had in her house. "Casey, why are you getting more shoes?"

"Liv, look at them" She picked up the pair of soft emerald shoes and held them next to her eyes. "These are so hot and they match my eyes see look!"

Olivia just shook her head and continued looking at the shoes. She found two pair that she really liked and needed so she went to purchase them. After that she and Casey headed to the men's department. Olivia was helping Casey pick out Chester so shoes when a man across the way caught her attention. She looked up because she could feel his eyes on her. When he saw her looking up he quickly looked away so he wouldn't get caught.

Olivia smirked a little noticing what he was doing so she walked over to the item he was supposedly looking at. The man saw her again and smiled at her. Olivia blushed and tugged at her bottom lip. Before she walked away she smiled back at him and winked.

After several minutes of shopping with Casey in the men's department Olivia walked with her through the mattress section. "Casey, I'm not going to lie. You need a new mattress in that guest room." Olivia teased her about spring poking out of the foot of the bed. "Speaking of which why the hell do you have a pistol under it?"

"Oh yea, don't touch it. It's my dad's. He keeps it in there." Olivia cocked her eyebrow not believing that for a moment. Casey got wide eyed and exclaimed, "What?! Ok so it's not his. Hell I'm an ADA I need protection too!" Casey giggled, "Plus, me and Chester needed something to play Cowboys and Indians with!" Casey laughed obnoxiously.

"You two are sick!" Olivia wrinkled her nosey and laughed with her. Casey walked around to look at the rest of the mattress while Olivia tried them out. She plopped down on one and got a little too comfortable. When she opened her eyes, the guy from the men's department was lying in a bed across from her. Olivia smiled and sat up to get a better look at him. She thought he was sleeping and was a little startled when he spoke.

"Hello there. Are you watching me?" He asked in his hot British accent.

"I- I um yeah sorry I was just looking and" Olivia carried on.

"NO, it's quite alright actually. I'm finding you quite pleasing to the eye." He got up and walked over to her so she wouldn't walk away this time. He stuck out his hand and introduced his self. "Charles Conway."

Olivia smiled and shook his hand, "Olivia Benson." She was about to let go of his hand but he brought it to his lips and gently kissed it. This made Olivia blush even more.

They were interrupted by Casey. "Hey Liv, ready to go?" Casey looked at the guy and gave Olivia a questioning look that asked 'who is this fine hunk of man candy.' As if Charles had ready Casey's mind he introduced himself to her with a handshake, "Hi, I'm Charles Conway"

Casey shook his hands, "Casey Novak"

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Charles then turned his attention back to Olivia and asked, "Is there by chance anyway that we can keep in touch?"

"I-um I don't-" before Olivia could answer Casey answered for her. "Of course there is. Do you have a card with your number on it or anything?"

"Oh yeah" Charles reached into his back pocket and pulled out a business card and handed it to Casey since Olivia was still a little shock about the whole situation still. "There you go."

"Alright thanks she'll be calling you." Casey said.

Charles smiled at Olivia and Casey and walked away.

Olivia finally snapped out of it and turned to Casey, "What the hell did you do that for. I had it under control."

"Yeah, uh huh." Casey handed Olivia the card and added, "You are so calling this guy."

About 20 minutes later Olivia and Casey were on their way back to work to finish the rest of their day. Elliot hadn't said much else to her since earlier so the day went by pretty smoothly.

After work Olivia went by several apartment complexes to check out the price. She finally got to a reasonable price and decided she would go for it. The apartment complex she found wasn't one of the best in Manhattan but it was convenient and it was only 7 blocks from the station house. Olivia figured she could walk there and in decent timing. She walked inside and saw that she was going to have to do a lot of decorating.

A week had passed by and Olivia was finally able to move into the apartment. She immediately got to work to make the apartment look decent to invite someone over. Olivia started with her master bedroom. After the floors were swept, waxed and dusted Olivia moved in her bedroom suit and set it up. By 6 o'clock Olivia took a break to order food and got to working on the restroom. She realized that the hold restroom needed new tiling.

Olivia was just finishing cleaning out the sink and toilet when there was a knock on her door. She just assumed it was the pizza boy so she grabbed her wallet and walked the door. When she answered it she was shocked to see who was behind there.

Lol whose behind the door?!...dont freak out. It will be ok!
