The Life You Save Might Be Your Own
Pairing: Alex/Olivia
Law and Order SVU: I own nothing
I was in the middle of my morning jog, when I saw her. She was standing on the sidewalk talking with some tall, dark and handsome guy. God she is so amazingly beautiful. Instantly, I felt a pang of jealousy shoot through my body. I have to constantly remind myself that she isn't mine. We are just friends, and if friendship is all I can have then I will settle for that. I should have noticed that her posture wasn't right, but of course I was focused more on my jealousy at that moment than the fact that Alex posture screamed that she was uncomfortable.
I started jogging toward Alex after I realized she might be in an uncomfortable conversation. I keep telling myself I was just going to make sure she was okay, and I was trying hard not admit to myself my real motive, which were to break up whatever relationship she might have with this guy. I know that my mind is working on overdrive, but I just get so damn jealous. Operation get Alex to fall in love with me is commencing.
Anyway as I am making my way over to Alex, I notice finally that something is not right. Tall, dark and handsome looks vaguely familiar and….'Holy shit'
I pick up my speed and leap toward Alex covering her body with my own just as the gun fires, I feel a sharp pain shoot through my body, but at that instance all that mattered was Alex. After I see the suspect begin to run, I immediately run after the shooter, but my side aches, and my inter monologue immediately respond 'God I hate getting shot!' As I place my hand over my lower side it feels sticky, but I keep running. Finally, I catch up with the shooter. I leap toward him (I do a lot of leaping), and instantly reach for my non-existent cuffs, 'Shit.' This is really not my day. So I do the only thing I can do, I punch the living crap out of the guy, who by now I realized is the perp we collared three years ago for molesting his son. When I pretty sure the guy is out cold, I turn around to see Alex hovering over me.
"Olivia…." She's staring at me like I've been shot or something.
"Oh crap" I have been shot, how does this woman make me forget I'm bleeding internally.
"Hey Alex, how are you?" I manage to say before I passing out.
