Olivia walked up to the stairs of her apartment after a long day of work. All day she had been dealing with the usual rape victims along with something a little bit more intense. It had been three days since Elliot retired from the unit. She hadn't heard from him, not even a goodbye. She wanted an explanation, as did the rest of his friends, but she felt she deserved it the most.
She had been his partner for 12 years. Not only was she his partner, she was his best friend. They knew more about each other than they knew about themselves. They had keys to each other's apartments and they fought like brother and sister. It just wasn't okay for him to leave like that… to leave her with no goodbye, no explanation, no partner, and no best friend.
When she got into her apartment she changed into swears and a sports bra, her usual bedroom attire, grabbed a beer and started flipping through the channels. There was a slight knock on the door. She opened it, to her surprise and relief, it was her old partner.
"El... where've you been?"
"Liv it's only been three days… I've just been thinking about things."
"After seeing you every day for 12 years, three days is a long time. So, why'd you come here?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm divorcing Kathy. When I left special victims I realized it wasn't just that that was making me unhappy. It was my whole life... my marriage, my job-"
"Me?" Olivia said, her eyes drifting to her feet, not wanting to look him in the eye.
"I don't know, Liv. That's why I came here. To talk about us."
"What 'us' El? You're my best friend, but then decided to up and leave with no explanation, not even a goodbye. Do you know how much that hurt me?"
"I'm sorry liv I just-"
"I know you're sorry but I have nothing left to say to you" Olivia said, tears streaming down her face, trying her hardest to hold them back. He had never made her cry... why now?
"Liv I'm so-"
"Goodbye Elliot." Olivia said sternly with slight disappointment in her voice. Elliot stood at the door, not sure what just happened. All he could think about was the fact that she called him Elliot. She hasn't called him that since the day they met. He screwed up, big time.
*inside Olivia's apartment*
She slowly walks over to the couch, sits down, and buries her head in her hands. She realized how hurt she had been. She didn't know what to think and she didn't know how to react. She wanted to talk to Elliot but at the same time, she didn't. She didn't know what to say to him... she half regretted slamming the door in his face, but she was glad she did at the same time. She wasn't sure what was going on right now, all she knew was it was the end of their friendship as she knew it.
