And don't take this personal

But you're the worst

You know what you've done to me

Olivia Benson stirred the cream into her coffee, even though it was already mixed enough. She knew as soon as she stopped stirring, and looked into his eyes, that he would know something was wrong. She knew she would have to explain everything, and she couldn't figure out how. How was she supposed to tell him they were no longer safe? He had been so happy these past weeks. She didn't want to ruin it.

"Are you okay Olivia?" Calvin asked after minutes of watching the senior detective stare off into space.

Olivia smiled at the boy. "Yes." The two settled back into silence, which was uncommon.

"Why doesn't Amanda like Alex? You like her, what happened?" Calvin asked out of the blue. The last time he had been in New York, Alex and Olivia were always together, even though Alex didn't work at SVU at the time. Now Amanda was here, and although he liked her just as much as Alex, he knew Amanda didn't like the older blonde.

Olivia looked at Calvin. Well, this would give her time. "Well, it's a long story."

"I've got time." He smiled.

"Last summer, there was a serial murderer. Long story short, we located him. More specifically, Amanda. She was really invested in this case. He ended up holding her hostage in a warehouse. We were already on our way as backup, but we were too late. No one saw what happened, but when we got there, he was dead and Amanda was just standing there staring at him. The gun was halfway across the room." Benson explained.

"And Alex thought she killed him?" Calvin said taking a sip of his soda.

"Exactly. The forensics said she could've killed him or he could've killed himself. Both their prints were on the gun, it was Amanda's gun." Benson continued.

"I'm sure Alex realized she was wrong and Amanda forgave her?" Calvin received a look from Olivia. "Right?"

Olivia shook her head slowly and smiled softly at the boy. "Oh." They once again found themselves in silence, but not for long.

"Calvin, how would you like to come and live with me, after this is all over?" Olivia all but blurted out. Calvin looked up at her in utter shock.

"You mean it?"

"Definitely." Benson reassured.

"Can Amanda come too?" Calvin had taken a real liking to the blonde over the past few weeks. They had similar interests, such as baseball, basketball and even lacrosse. He preferred Amanda anyway or Alex, so it wasn't a big deal to him when Olivia showed up with Amanda.

Olivia choked on her own coffee. She was saved from answering the curious boy's question as Alexander Kinsley came into the hospital's café. His face wasn't its usual calm and boyishness; it was somber and grim, which only meant bad news. Olivia sighed quietly. They did not need more bad news.

"Please don't tell me you have bad news." She asked the New Jerseyan hopefully.

"It's bad news for me, shocking news for you." Alexander replied, his tone not helping Olivia feel any better. His eyes glanced down at Calvin. Olivia caught on; this was not something Calvin should hear. Pulling a 5 dollar bill out of her pocket, Olivia handed the crisp dollar to Calvin.

"Go ahead and get another soda." She told the boy. Although Calvin did not want another one, he was smart enough to know that he should anyway. With that, he stood up from her chair and smiled at Olivia before heading off to the vending machine. Alexander slipped into the now vacant chair.

"What's up?" Liv asked cautiously.

"I need you to talk to Bella." He blurted out. Olivia looked at him confusingly. She most certainly did not want to talk to the younger brunette, without good reason.

"About what?"

Kinsley sighed. "I think she was raped." Olivia stared at the young man. She did not like this; she didn't like it at all.

.x.

Talking to Bella; not an easy thing. And Olivia did not expect that. Bella had no idea Olivia knew what happened between her and Amanda, and Olivia wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible. For some reason, she found a bit of happiness in knowing Bella was afraid of her. The brunette detective swung one of the hospital chairs around in front of the hospital bed so that she was next to Bella. She did not say anything until a while after she sat down.

"How are your ribs?" was the innocent question Olivia asked.

Bella stared at the senior detective puzzled. "I'm fine." And she turned her vision back to the iPad in her lap.

Taking a different approach, Olivia studied the woman. She could not really search for any behavior similar to a victim, but that didn't mean anything. She also couldn't find what Amanda was attracted to, but she pushed that out her mind-for now.

"Alex," Sterling began. "He sent you up here, didn't he?"

"Yes. How did you know that?"

"He worries about me more than he should. I'm fine. The doctor said I could leave tomorrow, so there is nothing to be worried about." Bella answered dryly.

"Sterling, if something happened—"

"Nothing happened. I was not raped." She cut off nervously.

Olivia was shocked by this reaction. "I never said you were." She paused and pursed her lips tightly. Her coffee colored eyes fell on the iPad in Bella's lap. "Is that your daughter?"

A little girl, no older than 3, with short black hair and bright green eyes matching Bella's stood in a purple tutu smiling radiantly. Bella smiled as she looked back at the photo.

"Yeah." The younger brunette answered.

"She must miss her mother." Olivia added.

Bella cleared her throat. "Look, I get you don't favor me in any way possible, so is there a reason you're up here?"

"Yes, there are two." Olivia said. She stood up and moved the chair back. She had a feeling something happened, she just was not sure of what. She moved close to Sterling. "One, I know something happened. You can hide it all you want. Two, stay away from Amanda."
