Alex walked out of Olivia's bedroom to see Olivia on the couch eating icecream and drinking orange juice. "Orange juice with icecream for breakfast?" Alex questioned while raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah," Olivia asked swallowing her mouthful of icecream, and lifted up her spoon to Alex with a smile. "want some?"

"I'll pass," she stated sitting down next to Liv, "Did you sleep last night?" she asked.

"A little, I'm sorry about last night?" Liv apolgized to Alex placing her bowl of icecream on the coffee table, and turning her body towards Alex.

Alex took Olivia's hand, "Sorry for what?"

"For you leading you on, and then pulled away." She stated trying to avoid eye contact and started to look out the window.

"Hey," Alex tucked Liv's hair behind her ear, and tapped her chin to make Olivia have eye contact with her, "I never asked you to,"

"But..." Olivia started but couldn't get out another word.

All I want is you to be safe, and okay," Alex assured Olivia. Olivia looked at Alex with fear in her eyes and the fighting her tears. Olivia tried talk to Alex but every thought she was going to tell Alex just made see him again. Olivia shook the thoughts out of her head, instead she stood up with her bowl and cup; headed towards the kitchen sink, to start washing her dishes. Alex followed her, rubbed her hand on Olivia's shoulder, and sat up on the counter next to the sink. "You need to talk to someone, maybe you should look into therapy." Alex tried to gain eye contact with Olivia again.

Olivia closed her eyes, took a deep breath in leaning her head back, "Alex"

"Yea?"

Olivia opened her eyes and looked at Alex, "Get out," She said wanting to avoid going back to what she can't stop seeing.

"What?" Alex got taken back with what came out of Olivia's mouth. She got off the counter to get to eye level."Why?"

"I just don't want you here anymore." Olivia responded.

"No..." Alex started, but Olivia started to dry her bowl to tune whatever Alex was trying to tell her. Alex brushed Olivia's hair behind her ear to Olivia's face and placed her hand on her upper back. "Pushing people away..."

"I don't care!" Olivia shook her head trying to push the words that were coming from Alex away and stepping out from Alex's grasp. "I don't want to talk" She looked into Alex's eyes, to make sure Alex understood how serious she was. "I want you out." She walked away from Alex, and into her bedroom slamming the door.


Elliot and Olivia were getting back from a crime scene to the squadroom. Olivia was walking about ten paces ahead of him not wanting to discuss her getting sick at a crime scene, as well as snapping at people and zoning out when they they were receiving information.

"Liv," Elliot said picking up his pace to catch up with her. He placed his hand on her should to stop her from walking presinc. Olivia stopped rolled her eyes and turned towards Elliot, alittle tense. "Hey, what was that back there?"

"I'm fine," She tried to assure herself and him. "It's just a reminder of a previous attack, and I guess it got to me." She informed; the victim was strapped to the bed, strangled and raped.

"Is that all?"

"What are you getting at?" Olivia protested.

"Something else is up with you and this isn't about the crime scene." They finish walking to thier desk

"Why?" She sat down at her desk questioning Elliot's interagation.

"Come on I know you, what is going on?" He tried to consule her.

Olivia looked across her desk, to Elliot, "Elliot," She started and wanted to tell him about what happen, but is getting tired of people shrinking her."I am fine."

Elliot leaned on his desk to be closer to her, "No you're not." They were having a stare down, of whose was going to back down first: Olivia to open up or Elliot to leave her alone.

Olivia broke to staring looked down at her desk, grabbed her pen and started clicking it repeatively. "I..." She started paused for a moment trying to get her words together, "I kicked Alex out this morning." Elliot gave her a look of surprise, "I don't want to talk about it." She commanded.

"Wow could you do a 180 in less than 24hours?" Elliot didn't listen to what she told him.

"Elliot!" She snapped at him.

"Okay what do we have?" Cragen walked out of his office waiting to hear about the new investigation. Olivia was relieved that Cragen came out at the perfect time so she didn't have to finish her conversation with Elliot.
