Here you go:

1 week later ~ Benson Residence ~ Thursday ~ 6:15pm

"Are you glad to be back in school?" Olivia asked walking into the living room with two bowls of ice cream.

"Yeah, I love school." Alison said enthusiastically.

"You are the only teenager I know who would say that"

"I love to learn, I think I enjoyed a little more because it meant I didn't have to be home"

"I understand that, that's why I did a lot of extracurricular activities, do you do anything outside of school." Olivia said taking a bite of ice cream.

"Yeah, I do dance, speaking of which I have dance practice tomorrow night for six to nine."

"Well as long as I don't get a case I should be able to take you and pick you up." Alison smiled

"Really? That would be awesome!" Alison said then took a big bite of ice cream.

"Brain FREEZE!" Olivia laughed at Alison.

The front door opened and Olivia and Alison both looked to see a man in the door way.

"Brian? What are you doing here?" Olivia said shocked.

"I came here to see my girlfriend." He approached her and kissed her cheek.

Alison look really confused and Olivia laughed at the look on her face.

"Bri, I mean, I thought you were undercover."

"I was we got the guy. Who is this?" he said gesturing to Alison.

"Bri, this is Alison Davis. Alison this is my boyfriend Brian Cassidy."

"Nice to me you Mr. Cassidy." Alison said smiling.

"Likewise call me Brian, look Olivia who is she? Why is she here?"

"Brian! Could you possibly be a little bit more polite?"

"Sorry? Will she be staying long?" he said his tone flat.

"As a matter of fact yes. Why don't we go and talk in the kitchen, Alison we will be back."

"Alright, I'm just going to go ahead and eat your ice cream then!" she said with a smile.

Olivia chuckled as she followed Brian into the kitchen.

"Olivia I'm gone for a month and I come home to some random girl in our apartment?"

"First of all, this is my apartment. Second Alison isn't just some random girl Brian! Her mother abused her and someone needed to get guardianship because Social Services wouldn't take the case. I offered because I live alone and I know how to help her." Olivia said getting agitated.

"Listen Liv, is this a good idea? I mean who knows how long you will have to care for her."

"I can't believe you Brian! I want to help Alison; I want to be there for her! I know exactly what she's going through and I'm going to be there for her because I want to, she's a bright girl with so much potential."

"I don't know Liv."

"Jesus Brian, of all people I thought you would understand why I want to help her. I guess I was wrong."

Brian just looked at Olivia, not saying anything.

"Look, I don't want to fight, and I know I haven't seen you in a month or so, but I think you should leave." Olivia said calmly.

"Liv-"

"No, you need to go.' She said cutting him off.

She walked back into the Living room to see Alison zoned into her book.

"Liv, Please" Brian tried.

"No, don't even. The door is right there." She said then sat down next to Alison.

The door slammed and Alison looked up from her book.

"Where is he going?"

"Back to his apartment, I guess."

"Was it my fault? I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it's not your fault. He'll get over it eventually." Olivia gave a reassuring smile.

Olivia looked down to see her ice cream gone.

"You actually ate all my ice cream?"

"I said I was going to!" Olivia smiled getting up to get herself some more.

Manhattan Dance Studio ~ Friday ~ 9:05pm

Alison's phone started to ring.

"Hold on a sec Liz, I got to answer this."

"Hey Olivia."

Hey, look I'm really sorry I just caught a case and I can't come and get you.

"Don't worry about it ill get a cab"

Are you sure? I'm really sorry.

"Wait Ali" Liz said

"Hold on a second Olivia"

Okay

"Yeah?"

"Do you need a ride, my dad can take you home."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Liz smiled.

"Olivia, Liz's dad is going to give me a ride home."

Are you sure?

"Yeah, Its fine"

Alright can you call me when you get home and let me talk to him?

"Yup, talk to you soon"

Okay, be careful

Alison followed Liz out to her dad's car.

"Hey dad is it okay if we take Ali home?"

"Of course"

"Thank you so much Mr. Stabler."

"It's no problem."

Benson Residence ~ 9:45pm

"Mr. Stabler, is it okay if you talk to Olivia, she wanted to talk to you when I got home safely.'

He chuckled lightly "Sure"

Alison dialed Olivia's number

Benson

"Olivia, its Alison. I'm home, would you like to talk to Liz's dad now?"

Good, and yes please

Alison handed the phone to Mr. Stabler.

"Olivia? Hi, I'm Lizzie's dad, my name is Elliot Stabler."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hello?"

Finally Elliot could hear a faint whisper on the other end of the line. A voice he would never forget.

El?

"Liv? Is that you?"

Elliot? Oh my god…um thanks for taking Ali home. I uh I gotta go.

Then Elliot herd her end the call.

"What was that all about? Do you know Olivia?" Alison said confused.

"Yeah, we use to work together."

"Dad? Was that Liv?"

"Yeah it was. Alison why are you living with Olivia? Why did she move?"

" Well, I needed somewhere to live, my mom got arrested. I don't know why she moved, you may want to ask her that"

It took Elliot a second to think about what her mother could have gotten arrested for then it hit him like a pound of bricks.

" I'm really sorry" he said just above a whisper.

"It's alright, thanks again for the ride Mr. Stabler, I guess ill see you both again next week? Bye Liz"

"Bye Ali" They hugged then left and Alison went into the apartment and started her home work.

Benson Residence ~ 11:00pm

Olivia walked into her apartment to see Alison sitting on the couch reading .

"Ali I figured you would be in bed."

"Nah, I kept telling myself one more chapter and I haven't stopped."

"Oh" Olivia collapsed on the couch next to Alison.

"So, how do you know Mr. Stabler?"

"I knew this was coming, we worked together for 12 years. He is-was, my best friend"

"Wow, what happened?"

"He left."

"What do you mean 'left'"

" He just left and didn't say anything, no goodbye, nothing"

"What a dick" Alison huffed

"ALISON!" Olivia said trying to hide her smile.

"What? Come on that was a total dick move!"

"Well, in his defense he had to shoot a girl around your age because she was shooting up the precinct and had injured a lot of officers. He was the only one who could get a clean shot."

"He could of at least said goodbye to you… asshole" she mumbled the last part.

"Yeah your right, but he didn't. He sent me this necklace. I haven't taken it off, that's all I've herd of him in 4 years. Up until a few hours ago." She said showing Alison Elliot's Semper Fi necklace.

"Wow."

"How do you know him?"

"I've been dancing with Lizzie since I was like 7."

"Oh, wow"

"No wonder he's divorced." She mumbled.

"Ali what are you talking about?"

"Mrs. Stabler usually picks up Liz, and Liz told me today in class that their divorce was finalized a week ago and that her dad get's them every other week." Alison explained.

"Oh, well, I think its time both of us go to bed." Olivia said changing the subject.

"Alright, I'm tired anyway." Alison said walking to her room.

"Goodnight sweetie!"

"Night!"

Alison went right to sleep. Sleep didn't come as easy to Olivia she couldn't stop thinking about Elliot… little did she know that Elliot couldn't sleep either…

Please R&R this is probably my favorite chapter so far! I had so much fun writing it! I need to finish my painting! :P
