A/N: I decided to do another Olivia and Elliot friendship fic. Only a 2 parter. Unless more is requested!
I own nothing expect Olivia's stupid boyfriend, Nick Appleberry

Olivia came home from work once again to an abusive Nick, she was getting sick and tired of being punched, kicked, thrown up against the wall and used for sex every single night, when she came home from work. It started about 8 months after they started dating.

The first 8 months she was happy, he did everything for her, he was such a gentleman, but after the 8th month, out of the blue, he became abusive.

She couldn't tell Elliot, because Nick threatened to kill him if she told him or anyone else, and she couldn't let her boyfriend kill her best friend, plus she was certain that he would think she was weak and/or useless.

"Luckily Elliot doesn't know, otherwise he will think I'm useless and weak" she thought as Nick walked up to her.

"Where the fuck have you been, bitch? It's after midnight. Were you out having a cheap fuck with Elliot?" he asked very rudely before delivering his first punch to her face for the night.

She'd had enough of the pain that he caused her every night. It was time to stick up for herself. She lashed out full force.

Her right fist came in to contact with his jaw, before coming in to contact with his abdomen. He screamed out in pain. She was much stronger then he thought she was.

"You fucking worthless bitch. I'm the one that sacrificed everything to help you when you thought you lost everything and this is how you repay me. You are fucking so un-loveable, it's obvious why Elliot won't fuck you!" he yelled at her before walking out.

Once Nick slammed the door behind him, Olivia sat down on the couch and put her head in her hands and cried.

The things he said hurt her deep down inside. "Is that the real reason Elliot won't have sex with me? Am I that un-loveable? Is that why my mother used to hurt me?" those questions kept going through her head as she cried until the phone rang some time later.

She wiped away her tears and cleared her throat before picking up her cell phone.

"Benson" she answered trying to sound normal.

Elliot noticed how upset she sounded and could tell she had been crying. He had known her long enough to know.

"Liv, honey have you been crying?" he asked, his voice full of concern.

She thought about denying it, but she knew that Elliot would be able to tell.

She sighed. "Yeah, I have, El. I broke it off with Nick" she managed to get out, before breaking down in to tears again.

The sound of Olivia upset and crying pulled at his heart. He hated to hear his best friend/partner upset or in pain. She deserved to be happy. That's why he didn't say anything, when she seemed happy with Nick even though he was jealous deep down inside.

"Honey, I'm on my way" he said as he pulled on a shirt, with his cell phone on speaker.

"No, El. I don't wanna interrupt your night" she said trying to stay strong and not be a burden.

"Yes, Liv. I'm coming" he said then hung up as he ran out to his car.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia lied on her couch, snuggled up in a blanket and clutching a pillow tightly to her chest as she cried.

She was glad that she had given Elliot a key for emergencies, meaning she wouldn't have to get up to unlock the door for him.

She still felt like a burden to Elliot, having him drive to her apartment to comfort her at one in the morning. She did ask him not to bother coming, but he wouldn't listen, but she was thankful that he did care for her enough to drive all that way.

She loved him with all her heart, not realising that Elliot felt the same, and he had done since the first time he saw her, it was her first day in Special Victims when Cragen introduced them to each other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia had just about fallen asleep on her couch, when she heard a key in the lock of her apartment door. She was just hoping that he was Elliot and not Nick returning to abuse her some more. Finally the door swung open, followed by a sweet, caring deep voice.

"Liv, honey, where are you?" Elliot called out in to the apartment, the concern and fear clearly evident in his voice.

Olivia was too busy crying to answer, but luckily Elliot could hear her sobs and sniffles and followed them in to the living room and to her couch. He found her sobbing, but it was evident that she was trying her hardest to hold back the tears; it was just not going her way.

He walked over to the couch and kneeled down beside her, and to his surprise, she sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She sobbed in to his shoulder.

As she continued to sob in to his shoulder, he gently scooped her up off the couch; he was surprised by how light she actually was.
"Oh my God, she has lost a shit load of weight she didn't need to lose" he thought to himself as he carried her to bed.

He went to lay her down on the bed, but she refused to let go. Now she had let her defensive walls down, she wasn't about to let Elliot go.

"Liv, honey, you've gotta let go"

She didn't listen; she clung on to him tighter. "Please don't leave me" she begged.

Elliot had never heard her beg like that before; her unusual behaviour was beginning to really worry him. This was not the Olivia Benson he knew. Detective Olivia Benson never begged like a scared child and she very rarely cried.

"What the fuck did that asshole do to her?" he thought to himself as he tried to free himself from Olivia's tight grip around his neck.

"Honey, let go, I promise you that I won't leave you, ever. I'll lie in the bed beside you, if you want"

She nodded and finally released her grip from around his neck, so he gently laid her down on the bed, before walking around the other side.

He laid behind her, but wasn't sure if he should wrap his arms around her, but she answered that question for him, by turning over to face him and grabbing his arms and wrapping them around her middle.

Elliot kissed her forehead and she snuggled in to him.

"I love you, El" she finally admitted.

"I love you too"

She began to cry when he said that.

"Hey, hey. What's wrong?" he asked confused, "Is it something Nick said?"

She nodded. "He said I was un-loveable. And that's why you'd never fuck me"

Elliot sighed and began rubbing soothing circles on her back. "Honey, he's full of shit. But he's right, I wouldn't fuck you... I would make love to you" he said and smiled, when he felt her smile in to his chest.

After a few minutes, he noticed that her body had finally relaxed, and her breathing had evened out. She was finally asleep.

He looked at the clock. 3:12am. "I better get some sleep too" he thought to himself, before drifting off himself.

He woke sometime later, to a scream. Olivia's scream.

"What the fuck?" he thought, before his eyes shot open to see why she had screamed.
