Worth All of the Hurt

Olivia heard the click, click of Jamie's heels as soon as she stepped out of the surgery prep room. They were going at a quick pace so Olivia figured she would pounce any second.

Olivia turned around to see Jamie wearing her usual unique clothing for the workplace. Today it was a red halter baby doll top, and a black flowing skirt. Olivia thought about what she was wearing, a tight black shirt under her lab coat and comfortable work pants.

"So, tell me how it went with Mr. Elliot." Jamie said starting to like her new nickname for him.

"We're dating, thanks to you." Olivia said, she wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. She had never seen Elliot as dating material because he was always married material.

"God forbid!" Jamie said a little dramatically, "I've seen the way you look at him Olivia. You love him, so you should drag your sweet little butt to him tonight and tell him that!"

Olivia was looking into Jamie's hazel eyes, which were filled with encouragement.

"James," Olivia said looking down at her shoes, but a shouting voice from the other end of the hospital made her look up.

There was Jamie's boyfriend, Pete, standing there yelling her name.

"Jamie, you little dyke get your ass over here!"

Fear immediately swam all over Jamie's face. Olivia looked at her with question, "Jamie, why did he just call you a dyke."

Olivia was interrupted by a shove from Jamie's boyfriend, or ex-boyfriend (Olivia really couldn't tell anymore). Olivia steadied herself just as she saw a punch being thrown straight at Jamie's nose.

Olivia was going to pull Pete off of Jamie, but considering Pete was a tiny bit overweight, Jamie was over powering him. She was trying to tackle him.

"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to hit a girl!" Jamie was screaming.

Olivia grabbed Jamie by the waist and pulled her off of him. She was still fighting to get at him.

"Jamie calm down." Olivia said

Olivia looked back to see that a guy from security was escorting Pete out. She felt Jamie stop struggling in her arms. She looked at her to see Jamie leaning up against the wall.

"What the hell was that?" Olivia asked

"I broke up with him over his answering machine last night, and I told him the truth about me."

"The truth?" Olivia asked

"I'm a lesbian," Jamie said

There was a crowd them now who all seemed to gasp when Jamie said that.

Olivia just nodded with a surprised look on her face.

"I have to go!" Jamie said making her way out of the crowd.

Olivia found Jamie in the bathroom later. She sitting up against the wall, head to the ceiling, closed eyes. Olivia took a step forward and Jamie heard her.

"Go away, Olivia, you don't have to pretend to be okay with it." Jamie said

"James I am okay with it." Olivia said sitting down next to her, "You are my best friend, your sexual orientation doesn't change that."

Jamie's eyes opened as she looked towards Olivia.

"Yeah?" Jamie asked

"Well duh," Olivia said using one of Jamie's famous terms.

Jamie smiled, "Can I hug you?" Jamie asked, then added, "Just as friends?"

Olivia smiled and nodded. Jamie gave her a hug from where she was sitting.

"Jamie, I have to tell you something." Olivia said.

"Hmm?" Jamie replied

"Elliot want's me to move back to New York with him, and I am considering it." Olivia stated

"Excuse me?" Jamie asked with an face that was mixed with sorrow and confusion, "You're gonna move?"

Olivia could see the tears well up in Jamie's eyes. Olivia knew this was going to be hard, Jamie never cried.

"James please try to understand this." Olivia pleaded

"You know what, I just need to be alone right now." Jamie said getting up and heading for the door.

Olivia heard the door open and close. She was left on the bathroom floor, now it was her turn to be depressed.

Elliot and Olivia sat on his couch in the hotel later that night. She was leaning up against him. He had his fingers intertwined with hers.

"Have you thought about moving with me to New York anymore?" Elliot asked

"Yeah, about that." Olivia said with a sigh, then added, "I can't go."

"What?" Elliot asked sitting up.

"I can't, Jamie just came out of the closet and if I leave she is going to think it's because of her. I just can't do…" Olivia said distancing herself from him and facing him.

"Whoa, back up." Elliot said, "Jamie came out of the closet?"

"Yes, Elliot she's gay." She said

Elliot laughed, "I never would have guessed," he said.

"She had me fooled." Olivia said

"But you're staying?" he asked being consistent.

"Elliot, for four years she has been the only one who's been there for me. It's my turn to be there for her." Olivia said

"I don't know why I did it, but I bought the tickets." Elliot knew why he did it, so she would feel more inclined to come.

In the circumstances he couldn't blame her for not wanting to leave.

"I still can't come, you can get mine refunded right?" Olivia asked

"Yeah," Elliot asked, then was quiet for awhile, "I can't leave you here."

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked

"I can't go back to New York, not with out you." Elliot said, "Olivia, you don't know what it is like without you. It's so hum-drum and it just doesn't seem worth it anymore."

"What doesn't seem worth it?" She asked not really understanding fully.

"Putting away the sickos. You just…made it worth all of the hurt." He explained.

"Elliot, you're making this so difficult for me. I have to stay, I'm saving lives here." Olivia said

"You can save lives in New York, Olivia." Elliot said

"Elliot, I just…can't." Olivia stated

Elliot stood up, "You know what…I have to leave, because you are the hardest thing I've ever had to get over. I really can't do it again."
