A/N: Hey, guys I don't know if this is going to be a one-shot or a story. Review and help me decide.
Fitz got off of Olivia as they finished making love. He layed on his back and took Olivia into his arms. They weren't in a relationship because Fitz doesn't do commitment after his mother cheated on his father. After that Fitz never believed in commencement. Olivia and him have been basically friends with benefits. Olivia is so in love with Fitz, and so is he but Fitz just brushes it off.
"Fitz….."
" Yes, Livvie….."
" I think I am falling in lo…." Fitz cut Olivia off before she can finish that sentence.
" Livvie, don't! You know I don't believe in love or commitment!" Fitz got up and started to look for his clothe. Every Time Olivia brings up them possibly in a relationship, Fitz gets all cold and gets up to leave.
" Fitz, don't go…" Olivia sighed while getting up as well.
" You know what my childhood was like Livvie, I would make a horrible boyfriend. Also this way, you can see who ever you want and I can too. It's a win-win Liv."
" Fitz, what if I don't want to see anyone but you? Fitz I lo…."
" DO. NOT. FINISH. THAT. SENTENCE!" Fitz yelled. Olivia sighed and looked down. It wasn't that Fitz was a bad person, but he was never taught how to love or be loved by someone.
" I obviously don't want to be here right now….So I'm going to leave. I'll see you at work tomorrow okay?" At this point Olivia just gave up and nodded. They were the top lawyers at their law firm and one day they were working on a case together, and next thing you know they are friends with benefits. Olivia hoped that Fitz would want to be in a relationship by now, but clearly she was mistaken. It hurt a lot when the person you love doesn't want to be loved.
Meanwhile in Fitz penthouse he was in dismay. Olivia deserved the best, but he just wasn't the person she should be with. Fitz was a player and he knew it, but ever since Olivia and him started hooking up he stopped that. There was no way in hell he could be in a relationship, men like Fitz weren't built to have a wife or family, they were loners. He doesn't like what Olivia is doing to his heart though, she was such an amazing person and he knew that he was in love with her too but too stubborn to believe it.
The next morning Olivia was so caught up on what is happening with Fitz and her that she could barely wake up for work. When she got into the office, there was Quinn her PA and Abby standing by her office.
" You look like shit!" Abby commented.
" Hi, hello, how are you Abby!" Olivia replied in a sarcastic tone.
" Let me guess Fitz!" Abby said with distaste. Abby was so fed with with Fitz being selfish and causing Olivia to be in pain.
In her opinion Olivia needed to DROP this asshole and move on. Abby was so done seeing her best friends in quarrel because of her feelings for a man who doesn't do commitment. "Honestly does he not realize that Olivia can have any guy she want? Hell, Will has been in love with Fitz since the day she walked into this firm. But Abby knew Olivia's heart only belonged to one person.
" What happened this time Liv?" Abby asked in a concerned voice. We had an amazing night, he came over with Chinese, and we had a lot of fun. After hours of mind blowing sex, I brought up the idea of us being in a committed relationship again. He basically went from happy to cold within seconds. Like he always does. I just don't know what to do at this point. I can't do the just sex thing anymore Abby, I love him….." Olivia exclaimed.
" Liv, when I tell you this I need you to listen carefully. I know you love thee man, but you need to hear this. Men like Fitz can't do relationships, but they realize that once they lose the one they love that they can commit, but then it's too late. Liv, you deserve someone who wants to be with you no matter what, show you off in public, and love you so much they will do anything for you.
No man should make you cry or sad tears on purpose. He doesn't deserve you. Maybe it's time to let go, you can't help a person who doesn't want to be helped….." Abby gave Olivia a sympathetic look.
" I know I deserve better, but he's been through so much that…."
" No, Liv when you love someone you become unselfish, but that's not what Fitz is doing. He's only taking his feelings into consideration, not yours!"
" Maybe I should just give up…." Olivia spoke softly.
" I can't tell you what to do, but before I leave I will tell you this. You can't fight for someone, who doesn't want to be fought for….." With that being said Abby left Olivia's office. A week after that talk she had with Abby, Olivia was really distrot. She didn't know what to do. She and Fitz had literally been together every day of the week. But Abby does have a point to what she was saying. Sitting on her couch on a Sunday night, Olivia decided to give Fitz a call.
Within one ring Fitz picked up.
" Livvie?"
" Hey, Fitz can you come over….?"
" Sure, what's the batter you sound kinda off….?" Fitz asked in a concerned voice.
" I don't know yet, could you please come over as soon as you can?" Olivia asked on the verge of tears.
" Yeah, sure I'll be there soon!" Fitz responded instantly not liking the sound of Olivia's voice. Twenty minutes later Fitz arrived at Olivia's apartment with pizza and wings. He knew they were her favorite when she was feeling down. He rang the doorbell and when Olivia opened the door he could see that she was crying.
" Livvie, what's the matter..?" Fitz asked really concerned now. Olivia took Fitz's hand and led him to the couch.
Once he set the pizza down, and sat next to Olivia she began.
" Fitz….I can't do this anymore….."
" What do you mean…?" Fitz asked nervously, but he knew what she meant.
" This, what we are doing….I am in love with you and want to be with you, but you can do the same thing for me Fitz…."
" Livvie, you and I both know when we both agreed to this it was no strings attached….."
" I thought I could, but I have fallen in love with you Fitzgerald Thomas the Third…."
" Please don't Livvie…."
" Why is it so hard for you to love and want me back!" Olivia yelled.
" I was never taught how to, and I don't plan on learning Livvie, not even for you…."
" Wow….You just helped me make up my mind…..I can't do this with you, I can't associate myself with you, or anything else."
" Livvie, I still want to be friends…." Fitz pleaded.
" No, Fitz I have to get over you so friendship is definitely out of the picture!"
" Livvie, don't do this. We can stop having sex if you want, but not friendship…."
" I'm sorry Fitz, I can't make you change your ways for me and I deserve a person who wants to be with me and isn't afraid to love me….."
" Livvie, I'll do anything to maintain our friendship, please…."
" No, Fitz I can fight for someone who doesn't want to be fought for….Please leave…."
" One minute?" Fitz asked knowing that this might be the last time he will ever hold the woman he loves but afraid to act on it.
" One minute…." Olivia responded with a sad smile.
Olivia snugged next to Fitz, while he wrapped his arms protectively around Olivia and thought back on the amazing times they had. Olivia heart on the other hands was shattering on the other hand. He didn't even put up a fight for her, and that's how she knew letting go was the best option. After their minute was up Olivia wiped her tears and stood up with Fitz. She helped Fitz put his coat on and he smiled at her.
" Goodbye Livvie….."
" Goodbye Mr. Grant…." Fitz turned and left quickly before he started to tear up in front of Olivia. When Olivia heard the door close and sank to the floor and sobbed like she had never before.
When Olivia called Abby crying she knew Olivia had let Fitz go and instantly drove over to her apartment. While on the other hand Abby's husband Steven, who was Fitz's best friend decided he needed to knock some sense into Fitz. Steven knew if Fitz let Olivia go easily, he will regret it the rest of his life. Arriving at Fitz's penthouse, Steven stormed in piss as hell.
" WHAT THE HELL FITZGERALD!?" His accent gets really thick when he's angry.
" WHAT STEVEN?"
" YOU BLOKE! YOU LET HER GO JUST LIKE THAT?"
" IT WASN'T MY IDEA! SHE WAS THE ONE WHO ENDED IT NOT ME!" Fitz yelled back. He was feeling really shitty and didn't need Steven yelling at him.
" Look mate, I know you love her! FIGHT FOR HER! CUT THIS BULLSHIT OF YOU CAN'T COMMIT! YOU CAN YOU ARE JUST TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO DO SO!"
" YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I'M NOT GOOD FOR HER! DAMAGED GOODS!"
" So you by yourself decided what was good for her? That poor girl is lying on the floor sobbing her eyes out because of how much letting you go hurt her! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN YOUR EYES MATE?"
" NEVER BECAUSE I DON'T NEED TO! SHE MADE HER DECISION AND LET IT BE!" Fitz punched Steven. Steven got up and wiped the blood off of his mouth.
" One day you are going to wake up Fitzgerald, and realized that she was the one that got away…..When you want her back it's going to be too little too late…..And when that day comes you just remember this! Women like Olivia and Abby are a rare breed, when they love they love deeply, when they forget they forget deeply. Fight for her before it's too late….."
