Meet me downstairs
-Liv
He looks at his phone to see her text message, and he wonders what's disturbing her sleep.
He walks down to where she is and sees her sitting on the third step with two cups in her hands.
"Hey," He says, about to sit down on the step next to her.
"Hey. Coffee?" She asks while handing him the cup in her hand.
"You need to ask?" He says taking the cup from her. He looks over at her cup.
"Is that a... flower?"
She laughs. "Its tea."
He looks her like she was lying. "You're serious aren't you?"
"Yeah."
There was a long silence between them, Elliot was the first to break it.
"She died twenty minutes ago."
"She wasn't raped. She was doing some attorney. She really put Myles through the ringer. And you know what else?"
"What?"
"She was about to die, and she still lied. You'd think that would be the time to come clean, instead she was going to take it to her grave."
Elliot shook his head, "That's unbelievable."
Olivia nodded in agreement.
This time there was a loner silence. Again, Elliot was first to break it.
"What happened to us?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. We used to be able to talk for hours about things... anything. Now the only time we talk is when it's pure business and even that's light conversation."
"Yeah, I miss that," She replied honestly.
"What changed?"
"I had to leave a mess everything up," She said looking down.
"Not to put guilt on you or anything, but, that did kinda mess things up."
"I know, and I knew that was there was a problem because after I came back everything was awkward between us."
"I just didn't want to get that close again and have you leave. The closer you are the harder it hurts."
"Hurt?"
"Yeah. You didn't think I was just... not phased by you leaving did you?"
She shrugged.
"Well it did. The first time wasn't so bad because I knew why. You took my words literally and left. You know, I didn't mean it. I didn't want us not to be partners."
"Well what you said made sence."
He nodded. "But the second time... I called your phone and got that voice recording saying the number was disconnected. The first time I heard it I thought it was some kind of joke. One minute you were there and the next... you weren't. I tried your number at least ten more times, I just couldn't believe it."
"I'm sorry. It's not like I meant to hurt you."
"I know that. But it didn't make it any easier."
She sighed, "How about we get something to eat and try to get back on track."
"I could eat. Who's paying?"
"Well, you are going through a divorce and you do have four children so I guess... you are."
He chuckled, "That's what I thought."
Good? I hope so. I guess there was some EO, if ya squint. Haha. So review please. :)
