**Story takes place 3 years after Elliot left, him and Kathy are divorced.**
It had been 3 years since Elliot Stabler walked out of Olivia's life, no letter, text, phone call, anything he left with no words. Like he fell off the face of the earth. Elliot didn't talk to anyone in the squad, he didn't talk to anyone at all. Olivia was still hurting by the way things happened with Elliot, she was upset her bestfriend just walked out of her life. A few months after Elliot left Olivia was partnered with new people almost every week, Captain was trying to understand what Olivia was going through he helped her but he was getting tired of hiring new people every week because every partner Olivia got she always found something wrong with them. Eventually captain just made Olivia and Fin partners. Fin was the only one in the squad who could handle Olivia's mood swings, breakdowns.. Fin was like Olivia's brother. Later on 2 new detectives came into the squad. Nick Amaro and Amanda Rollins, Everyone in the squad liked them, Olivia started to warm up to the idea of having new people come onto the squad. Olivia and Amanda became good friends, they had the same problems. Amanda was one of Olivia's very few girlfriends. Olivia was still distant from Nick, she didn't want to get close to another man like she did with Elliot. She didn't want to get close to someone and have them just leave. Captain then partnered up Nick and Olivia, and Amanda and Fin. Olivia didn't like that she had to be partnered with someone on the squad that she didn't really talk to.
"Calm down baby girl, this will be good for you, not everyone can be Elliot but you need to start to realize maybe he won't come back.. Nick's a good guy you should give him a chance." Fin said to Olivia who was clearly not happy about having a new partner.
Nick and Olivia became good friends, Nick introduced his family to Olivia, Nick invited Olivia over to family functions and holidays. One day Nick was walking over to Olivia and saw a picture of Elliot and Olivia at the last Christmas party he went to. "Who's this, Liv?" Olivia looked up at the picture and her heart sunk... "Uh... That's uh.. Elliot. My old partner" Olivia took the picture from Nick and put it in her desk, Nick was confused "Why is it in your desk? You don't wanna put it out?" Nick asked. "No, we uh.. We don't talk anymore" Olivia didn't wanna talk about it anymore and thankfully Captain came out with a new case and put Fin and Olivia together to do it.
Olivia was silent for the rest of the day, Fin realized that "What's wrong, Liv? You barley even talked today and you didn't eat lunch, and you've been starring into space for a half hour." Liv started crying "I miss him Fin, today Nick picked up the picture of me and El and asked who he was and i put it in my desk and said i didn't talk to him anymore. Why won't he talk to me? I went home yesterday and cried myself to sleep like i have been for the past 3 years every time i go home i cry. I miss him so much" Fin was starting to get pissed at Elliot for doing this to her. "Baby Girl, Don't worry about Elliot, he's just being Elliot. He'll come around" Fin knew he had to tell Elliot how bad Olivia was doing.
