COLD

It was hard! Olivia thought as she looked at the picture on her bedside table. He was smiling at her, and she was crying crying harder than she thought could.

She was finally broken in so many pieces she knew there was no repairing her heart. She wanted to believe that it was all a lie and that he didn't tell her that he was moving away so that his marriage could work. Her head fell back as she remembered their conversation.

"What do you mean you are moving?"

"I mean I'm leaving, Liv I love my wife and I can't stand what my job our friendship is doing to her." Elliot was struggling, he wanted to have his wife and his best friend but at the end of the day he knew which one was more important to him. His children were.

It hurt so deep to hear him say so, but she still she listened tried to keep the tears at bay as he continued to break her heart. "I know I should have told you sooner that I was leaving but I couldn't then we had that case and we were busy tearing each other apart" Elliot confided softly.

The tears stung at her eyes and she wanted to melt and she tried her best to keep it to gether but she felt it she was falling apart. "Elliot you can't go" Olivia pleaded with such vulnerability he couldn't believe this was his partner the same woman who thrown grown men against her car and lock them away.

"Why can't I leave Liv, nothing is here for me" Elliot said trying to understand why she just couldn't let him go. "What kind of friend are you, if you want me to stay in this place and suffer, you know that I would be lost with my wife and my kids. Why Liv why can't I go?" he shouted, he didn't know why but seeing her so vulnerable made him anger. It reminded him of that day when Gitano had cut her neck, he hated the fact he couldn't have stopped it. And that feeling it was there agian the one he couldn't explain the one that he didn't want to know what it meant.

"Elliot how could?" Olivia face lost all vulnerablity as anger took it's place.

"Who could I want? You are the one who I thought was my best-friend who is being selfish. Just tell me Liv why shouldn't I leave? Because you don't want to find a new partner, Answer me damn it!"

Olivia felt cornered scared and hurt as she looked into fiece blue eyes. Because-" she couldn't go on she couldn't lie

"'Cause what?" Elliot asked waiting for her excuse and that look the one she had in her eyes when Gitano held a gun to his and she was whispering words he couldn't hear or undertand

"Because I love, and I have loved for as long as I can remember and I don't want you to go" Olivia said and a sob escaped and so did the tears.

Elliot stood frozen looking at her like she was an alien he backed away from her as if she were contagious, and said words that broke her. "Why, why are you so jealous, couldn't you be happy that Kathy and are working things out, You are exactly what you're mother says you are a failure, what type of woman falls in love with a married man?" the words that flowed from his mouth he couldn't understand, nor could he the fire the was buring in his viens, but the thing that he couldn't understand the most was the need the urgent need to get away!

Olivia threw the things off her dresser in an angry rage and torn the picture in two. She ran from the house it was closing in on her and she found herself at Casey house.

Casey heard the loud pounding on the door and opened it and there stood Olivia with tears in her eyes looking like she just lost her heart.

And she did!

I hope it wasn't too sad. Please leave a review to let me know what you think.
