Here is Chapter 3. Thanks for all the lovely reviews. I am loving writing this story. Hope you like this chapter. :)

It's almost 2am and she is walking the streets of New York. Another night and no sleep. The dream tonight was too real. She was dreaming of him again. It's her own fault, she's been thinking of him too much lately. See this what happens when she is on vacation. She walking through Central Park and goes to sit on a bench. She watches the trees blow and thinks how she ended up here. She looks at sky and the clouds are coming in thick. It's going to storm soon but she can't bring herself to get off the bench and walk home. She thinks about joining SVU and never in her wildest dreams did she think that she would still be there. Some days she thinks of leaving. It's not the same since he left. She knows she needs to let him go but she can't.

After sitting there for what seems like an hour she heads back to her empty apartment. The wind is starting to pick up and she hopes the rain holds off until she gets home. She's almost to her door and all she wants to do is lay down and try to sleep. The she hears the voice she has been thinking about so much lately and can still hear in her dreams.

NO it can't be him. Great you are imagining him. Yep you have lost it.

"Liv..." He said softly

She knows he's there. She can feel him, she can always feel him. She can't turn around. The pain she feels begins to mount. Tears start to fall. She tries to breathe. She needs to breathe. He hasn't said anything other and than her name. He's just standing there waiting for her to speak. She takes a deep breath as she turns around. He dresses in jeans and a shirt. God he looks good. Nope can't think like this. He is an ass. She looks in his midnight blue eyes and she is hypnotize. He looks sad an uncertain like he is not sure what she will do.

Take your eyes off of me so I can leave

I'm far too ashamed to do it with you watching me

This is never ending, we have been here before

But I can't stay this time cause I don't love you anymore

Please stay where you are

Don't come any closer

Don't try to change my mind

I'm being cruel to be kind

"El..." That is the only word she has the strength to say. He steps closer to her and she backs away. She can't get to close to him. He's hurt by her movement by the way his eyes darken. He's not saying anything he is just looking at her. Why the hell is he here? He's not talking and her fury rises.

"What are you doing here?" She snaps at him.

He smiles like he knew she would react this way. He takes a deep breath before he speaks.

"I wanted to see you and talk." He says simply.

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Maybe we're already defeated

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah everything changed me

The rage in her is rising. She doesn't want to talk she wants to hit him. She tries to calm herself.

"So all of a sudden after three years you finally want to talk. Ohhh lucky me." She yells.

"Liv. Please can we talk. There is so much I have to tell you. I need to explain." He calmly says.

While she rages he is calm. So unlike the man she's known all these years. She can't do this. Even though she wants to know why he left without saying goodbye. She can't listen to him. All she wants to do is run.

"You don't owe me an explanation. You left end of story." She says with no emotion. She turns to head upstairs when she feels him behind her and light grabs her wrist. God he's so close and can feel the his breath on the back her neck.

"I do owe you an explanation. I know you are mad and I understand that. There are more than one reason why I left and you need to hear it. Please Liv. We have been through so much together. Please don't walk away." He whispers in her ear. She doesn't turn around. She won't.

Her voice barely rises.

"You walked away first." She says as she opens the door and heads upstairs.

You have given me something that I can't live without

You mustn't underestimate that when you are in doubt

But I don't want to carry on like everything is fine

The longer we ignore it all the more that we will fight

Please don't fall apart

I can't face your breaking heart

I'm trying to be brave

Stop asking me to stay

When she gets into her apartment she slams the door and slides down it. She closes her eyes and tries to controls her emotions but she can't. The last thing she expected was to see him outside her apartment. She wanted to stay outside and talk to him but she couldn't. The pain is too much. Even though she left him outside she knows he will be back. He is stubborn and unwilling to give up.

I can't love you in the dark

It feels like we're oceans apart

There is so much space between us

Maybe we're already defeated

Ah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah everything changed me

We're not the only ones

I don't regret a thing

Every word I've said

You know I'll always mean

It is the world to me

That you are in my life

But I want to live

And not just survive

She lays in her bed trying to will herself to sleep but she is so keyed up. She turns on her side and looks out the window listening to sounds of the city she loves. This is what she wanted for the last three years. To see him and to touch him. She walked away. When he grabbed her wrist all she wanted to turn around but she couldn't. She knew she would of crumbled if she looked into his eyes. Damn him for still being on her mind. She closes her eyes and all she sees his face as she falls asleep.
