Disclaimer: I don't know if I should hate Dick Wolf for owning SVU and not giving them to me (Grrrr). Or should I praise him for creating the characters that I use in this story (Yay) either way there not mine. Nether is Will and Grace. But Maria is mine. Yay for that. Also got a new puppy. She is exactly the same breed and looks exactly like my other dog. Named her the same name too. And thank you for caring about my passed away puppy.

As Olivia drove home she thought about Elliot. She couldn't get him out of her head no matter how hard she tried. She turned up the jazz playing from her radio to drown out her thoughts. But it didn't work. When she pulled in to her parking spot she turned off her car, sat in it for a few moment's, then got out of her car. She walked into her apartment building and made her way up to her apartment.

"Olivia what are you doing walking in so late" asked Maria who was leaning up against the wall in a tank top and a pair of short's as Olivia got off the elevator. Maria was a 15 year old girl who reminded Olivia a lot like her self when she was a teenager. Maria lived with her alcoholic mom who lived next door to Olivia. She had become good friends with her when Olivia had seen her crying in the hallway and she asked what was the matter. Then she learned of Maria's situation. Olivia had asked the mom about it but she couldn't prove that Maria was in danger or that the mom as mistreating her so she just let the girl come over during the day and spend the night's there when her mother was drunk and dangerous.

"I should be asking you the same question" She said looking down at the girl

"Mom had another Boyfriend over and she woke me up and told me to get out of the house" Maria said standing up. Olivia looked at the girl with sad eye's and a sad smile

"Come on in" she said in a truly sympatric voice. She was Mad that the girl's own mother could do that to such a sweet girl. "But then again, I've seen a lot worse" she thought to herself thinking of her own mother. She unlocked the door and they made there way into Olivia's apartment and Maria shut the door behind her. Olivia turned around and faced Maria

"Maria. You do know that if your mom ever hit's you then you can tell me right?"

"Yeah I do, thanks Liv". She said smiling and climbing underneath the blankets and placing her head on the pillow that Olivia left for Maria each night on the couch.

"You don't need to thank me for that Maria. Any time you need to get away from her you can come over"

"Thanks. Good night Liv" Maria said yawning

"Good night Maria" Olivia said making her way to her own bedroom. Olivia shut her bedroom door, looked at the clock and groaned. It was 4:30 and she had to get up in an hour and a half. She took off her shoes and laid in her bed. She looked at her bedside table and she caught a glance at one of her many pictures. It was Olivia and Elliot at the Halloween party last year. He had gone as Dracula witch was really just Elliot's normal suit with a cape and fake fang's and fake blood running from he both side's of his mouth. Olivia on the other hand had on a very, very, short red leather dress with a long v-neck that she had borrowed from Casey and red fishnet stocking's and a pair of red hooker boot's that she had also burrowed from Casey and a pair of plastic devil horn's on top of her head witch she had bought herself. They were posed in the picture so that Elliot was dipping her and opened his mouth so that it looked like he was about to bite her neck and Olivia was hanging in his arm's lifeless. Olivia smiled as that day crept into her head.

"I wonder if Elliot has this picture. Probably not. Kathy probably burned it when she saw it' thought Olivia bitterly. Olivia hated Kathy even though she never showed it. Kathy had always accused Elliot of sleeping with Olivia. Also she was always mad at Elliot for coming home late and because of the hour's that he worked. She knew that Kathy hated her too but she had no reason too though. Olivia was always nice to Kathy and never said a bad thing about her even though she thought she was the about the stupidest person she had ever met. Olivia wanted so badly wanted to tell Kathy off for being mad at Elliot all the time for little thing's and also for being mad at him for the hour's he worked and for Olivia as a partner.

"If she can't hack being a cop's wife she should just leave him. There are other people that don't care what he does" She thought thinking of herself Olivia sighed knowing that no matter how much she wanted more, no matter how much she thought he should leave Kathy. She knew the most they were ever going to be was partners and friends. She frowned, and then she noticed she only had an hour left to sleep, she fell asleep, dreaming of the one she wanted, but could never have.
