Ring. Ring
As the phone rang, Olivia instantly regretted calling. She didn't know what to say and she didn't know how he would react.
The phone rang and rang but, he never answered. She put the phone down.
He didn't answer. He didn't want to talk to her. She felt even more hurt now that he couldn't even talk to her.
She lay down on the couch and tears started falling from her eyes. He couldn't even give her a few minutes to talk, especially since she was hurting because of him. She went from being sad to angry in a matter of minutes. She finally let her guard down with him and now she was regretting it. She should've known this wasn't going to last long.
She wiped her tears and sat up. She wasn't going to cry over that selfless asshole. She wasn't going to cry for a guy that couldn't even give her a few minutes of his time. For a guy that obviously didn't care that she was hurting.
She walked in the bathroom and hoped a hot bath would help.
The next day...
Olivia walked into work the next morning and sat at her desk.
"Good morning," Nick greeted with a smile on his face.
"Morning."
"You feeling okay? I noticed that you left early yesterday."
"I'm fine," she answered, shortly.
Although he didn't believe her, he nodded. He knew something was wrong but, he knew she wouldn't tell him.
She logged onto her computer then walked over to the coffee table and poured herself a cup of coffee.
The whole day was kind of a blur to her because her mind kept drifting off to the previous night. David not answering her call was a slap in the face and she couldn't help but feel hurt. He told her that he wasn't going anywhere and even though it was their job that teared them apart, he still wasn't there for her as a friend.
It was a slow day leaving them all stuck with paperwork. They heard the door to the squad room open. Olivia didn't even bother looking up. She just hopes it wasn't a new case.
"ADA Haden," Munch greeted.
Olivia instantly looked up with wide eyes.
"Good evening," David greeted back then walked towards Cragen's office.
Olivia felt her heart beating really fast and she didn't want to show him that she missed him so she went to the locker room. She sat on the bench and wondered what he wanted from Cragen.
A few minutes later, she heard the lock room door open. It was Cragen.
"Liv, you okay?" he asked concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She stood up and opened her locker.
He cleared his throat. "Haden needs the Anderson file from last year. You know where to find it."
"Why can't you give it to him?" she asked annoyed that Cragen was getting involved.
"He asked for you. Plus you were the lead detective on that case and he needs to ask a few questions," he told her then walked out.
She closed her locker and took a few deep breaths. This was going to be interesting to say the least.
She walked out and saw David talking to the squad. She rolled her eyes seeing that they all liked him.
David looked up at her and followed her into the filing room, seeing that she was angry. He wanted to make this right.
"I just need to ask you a few questions about the case, if that's okay with you," he said as she looked through the files.
She just nodded. She found the file and handed it to him.
"Thanks. Is there somewhere we could talk?"
She gave him a look.
"About the case." He held up the file.
Olivia just walked out and went up the stairs to the lounge area. He followed closely behind. They sat down across from each.
"What do you want to know?" she finally spoke.
He asked a few questions about the case to which she answered.
"Are we done here? I have to get back to work," Olivia said, coldly.
"Olivia don't be like this," he told her, seeing her being cold towards him. He didn't want to end their relationship and she had to realize that. "I didn't ask for things to be this way."
She stood up. "I'm not doing this right now, David."
He quickly stood up and caught her before she could leave. "Olivia, wait."
She quickly turned to him. "I called you last night," she blurted out. She was mad and he deserved her wrath.
He sighed and held her hand. "I know."
She pulled her hand away. "You know?" she asked in disbelief.
"I'm sorry. I just didn't know what to say. I really didn't want this to end, you have to believe that."
Tears were forming in her eyes. "I have to get back to work." She walked down the stairs and headed for the restrooms. She didn't want anyone to see her like this.
Olivia walked back to her desk a few minutes later after she pulled herself together. When she sat at her desk, she saw that David was gone and that Nick was eyeing her. She looked towards him and he just smiled and nodded her way. She smiled back, knowing that he was there for her if she needed to talk.
