So this story is suppose to be set about 6 months after the events with Amanda's sister Kim. It's just something that came to my mind and I needed to put out there I'm not sure yet where it's gonna go but I hope you enjoy.
One friday evening at SVU
"Hey you heading to Liv's yet?" Fin asked Amaro
"Almost I gotta finish some paperwork" he answered while rustling some papers
"Alright I'll chill with you for a bit"
"How about you Rollins" Amaro turned to her
"I'm gonna head out I promised Liv I would help her cook"
"uh I suddenly lost my appetite" he laughed
She playfully smacked him as he leaned away from her
Fin smiled at their interaction. He was happy to see them this way they had both been through a lot in the past few months and for some reason they seemed to have worked out their differences and had come to depend on one another. He didn't care why he was just happy it happened.
"Alright see you there than" said Fin
At Olivia's apartment
Olivia and Amanda were working hard in the kitchen
"Olivia what do I do now?" asked Amanda
"Mince it!" answered Olivia with her head in the fridge looking for more vegetables
"Mince it?" said Amanda to herself
Olivia came up behind her and chuckled
"I know I'm a nerd" she said "let me do it"
"Sorry, Liv I'm not so good at this and your not a nerd hahaha it's great that you know"
"My mother might not have loved me but one of the few things she did was teach me to cook"
Amanda felt awkward, she knew Olivia was the product of a rape.
"your mother loved you Liv, some mother's just love in their own way, my mother was the same way not very affectionate but she made sure to work hard night and day to put food on the table"
"It was just you and your sister?" asked Liv with a spatula in her hand
"I have a brother too he's older, he joined the Army at 17 and he's been there ever since"
"oh wow! I didn't know you had a brother"
"yeah, we barely keep in touch he's always off somewhere doing his thing" Amanda laughed
"I have a brother too, well half brother…..we have the same father" Olivia said almost whispering the end as if trying to hide that fact
Amanda didn't know how to respond, Thankfully for her the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Amanda jumped at the opportunity she needed to get out of the kitchen
She opened the door it was Fin and Amaro.
"Hey you guys made it" said Olivia coming out of the kitchen with an apron
"Wouldn't miss for the world babygirl" answered Fin
"You guys need help with anything?" asked Amaro
"I think we're good" answered Amanda
"Yeah just have a seat Brian should be home soon" said Olivia
All of a sudden Amanda's phone rang
"Hello"
"Yes"
"oh my God" her feet went weak and she fell on the couch
"Rollins you okay?" asked Amaro
"I'll be there as soon as I can"
She hung up the phone
"Is everything alright?" asked Olivia
Amanda's face was pale
"They think they found my sister" she said
"That's a good thing" said Amaro
"They want me to go identify her body"
"what?" said Olivia
"she's dead"
Oh shit! Thought Amaro, he felt awful he hadn't realized she had meant they had found her dead.
"Oh Amanda, I'm so sorry" he said
"I have to go down to the coroners" she said nervously as she began to look around for her keys and jacket that for some reason her hands couldn't grasp
"Amanda stop" Amaro grabbed her hands in his "It'll be okay, I'm going with you"
Tears began to fall from her eyes. She didn't know what to do, what to say, how to act.
"I'm going too" said Olivia "Fin do you mine waiting for Brian and informing him of the situation, also feel free to eat"
"You guys don't have too" said Amanda "I'm ruining your dinner"
"No, this is important, you are important, we're all family here" said Olivia
Fin went up to Amanda and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"You're going to get through this partner" he said
Amanda, Liv and Nick arrived at the coroners
"You must be Amanda Rollins" said a man
"yes" she answered
"Please follow me"
They all follow the man.
Amanda was scared she had never been on the other side of the window as a victim's family member.
The man lifted the sheet. Amanda's legs went weak but Nick managed to catch her right on time.
"It's not her"
"no it's not" said Nick
"I'm sorry about the confusion but all we found on her was a cellphone with the name Amanda Rollins under sister" said the man
"Thank you" said Olivia
The three of them walked out of the building.
Amanda crashed to the floor on some steps.
"is it wrong that I felt a sense of relief when I got that phone call" she said "atleast I knew what happened to her now I'm back to wondering where she is and if she's okay"
"It's not wrong" said Olivia
"Amanda this is a good thing it means she's probably alive" said Amaro
Amanda felt anger come over her.
"This is bullshit!" she screamed "after everything she did and I'm here still caring, still wondering"
"she's you sister" said Olivia "don't be so hard on yourself"
"and you" Amanda looked at Amaro "why are you even here, all you wanted was to fuck her, she told me everything"
"what?! I never slept with your sister, if anything she came…." He trailed off "nevermind"
Olivia stares at Nick.
"I didn't" mouthed Nick to her
"Alright enough you two" said Olivia "let's just take you home"
They arrived at Amanda's apartment and laid her down on her bed.
"I'll stay" said Amaro "you have to go back home Brian's probably waiting, nobody is waiting for me" he chuckled
"Is that a good idea?"
"Oh come on Liv, do you really think I slept with her sister? I would never do that to Amanda"
"Not really since I know her sister but I think Amanda does"
"Rollins knows me, she knows I didn't"
"alright but call me if anything"
Olivia left. Amanda had been listening to their conversation from her bedroom door.
"I don't" she said to Nick "I was just mad, I know you didn't sleep with my sister"
She smiled at him. Nick sighted in relief.
"you know I would never do that to you, I might not show it but your friendship means a lot to me" he chuckled
Amanda grabbed a pillow and sat down on the couch. She patted the space next her for him to sit down.
He complied.
"I don't know why she said she had, apparently she thought it would hurt, she said I had always had everything and that it was my turn to hurt and learn what it was like to lose something…..I don't get it when we were young our mother was never around I was the one who had to look after her our step father was a drunk, we didn't have it easy"
"Sometimes people have a hard time seeing things, your sister is probably just going through something" he said
"Well anyways let's watch some tv" she said "oh and Nick, Thank you for staying"
She glanced over his way and smiled.
Oh that smile he thought. That smile that made his heart skip a beat.
She placed her head on his shoulder.
Nick felt like he couldn't breathe but for that moment he was perfectly content, how he wished it could be like that always.
