Elliot walked quickly down the street, he knew she couldnt be very far ahead of him, but she was far enough that he couldnt see or hear her. He was determined to catch up with her. He looked down at the ground as he walked but looked up sharply when he heard a scream, Casey's voice. It was short and cut off sharply, as if someone had covered her mouth. He took off running, hoping that he could catch up fast enough to find her, to get her before she disappeared into the new york night.

He saw her, too far to get to her before the large man behind her pulled a plastic bag over face, but close enough to hear her trying to shout. He didnt stop running, but he didnt seem to be able to run fast enough.

"Alex, please, tell me why you wont do the chemo. Please help me understand."

Alex looked at her and sighed. "I told you Liv, if this is the end of me, if this is how I'm going to go, then I would rather not be sick from the chemo in my last few years, months, days, whatever." Alex took Liv's hand and pressed it to her heart, "I want to be here with you, enjoying the time I have with you, not laying in a hospital bed desperately fighting a treatment that just makes me feel worse."

Olivia nodded and pressed a light kiss to Alex's lips. "I just cant imagine my life without you. I want to do everything we possibly can to keep you with me." She looked into Alex's sky blue eyes and tried to give her a smile, "I love you so much, I truly dont know what the fuck I would do if I lost you."

"Liv," Alex framed Olivia's face delicately with her hands, "Dont be scared. Do you remember when you finished the academy, and you got the night shift and I stayed up all night every night just waiting for you to come home, staring at the phone so that I knew where you were and if you were safe. And when you didnt call I thought you were dead. Do you remember all of that?"

Olivia nodded and looked at Alex patiently, "Yes, I remember."

"Do you remember what you told me?" Liv nodded and Alex smiled. "You said that no matter what happened to you, you would always be with me, you werent ever going to leave me and I could always look forward to you coming home. Baby," Alex looked at Liv and gave her a small smile, "Even if this doesnt work out in the wat we want it to, I'm always going to be yours and I am always going to be with you."

"Even when your gone?"

Alex kissed Liv gently again, noticing the tears building in her eyes but not wanting to draw attention to it. "I'll never be really gone baby, I'll find a place to sit and I'll wait for you. Patiently wait for when your ready to join me."

"Lexy, your dying, and theres nothing I can do to help you. I cant save you." Olivia tried to stop the tears but failing, "I cant even help you."

"Liv, baby, dont cry, your helping more than you could ever know." Alex looked at her and pulled her close, they were sitting on their bed, snuggling under a quilt that Alex's mother had made, "If it werent for you being here with me and supporting me, I would be terrified. But I know that I'm going to be okay because your here with me. You dont know it now, but someday you will see how much you really help me."

Olivia rested her head on Alex's shoulder and nodded, "Yeah, I hope so."

"I know so," Alex whispered gently.

Olivia woke with a start, Alex wasnt next to her. Her eyes flew to the clock by the bed, it was four eighteen in the morning. Olivia got up and walked quickly to the bedroom door. "Lex?" She checked in the bathroom and then in the guest bedroom, then began to walk down the hall. "Alex, baby are you here?" She didnt hear anything, but as she walked into the living room her foot touched something soft. She reached for the light switch, already panicking. She flipped it on and looked down as light flooded the room. Alex laid, sprawled out on the floor. "Lex!" Olivia knelt down beside her and shook her gently but Alex didnt respond. Her head rolled to one side as Olivia pulled her onto her lap. Liv reached for the house phone that was sitting on the table at the end of the hall and dialed 911. She gave her address and told them that Alex was completely unconcious then let the phone fall to the floor as she pleaded with Alex to just wake up, to be okay.

They let Olivia ride in the ambulence on the way to the hospital, she held Alex's limp hand while they hooked her up to IVs and talked under their breaths.

But when they got to the hospital Liv had to stay in the waiting room as they wheeled Alex into a nearby room. She waited for hours, watching as the clock changed from four thirty, to five, to six, to eight thirty. Finally, at nine oclock, a doctor approached her. "Miss Benson?"

"Yes-yes thats me. How is she?"

He looked at her and shook his head, "I'm afraid it isnt good. We were unable to wake her, and we have her on life support now. She had alot of internal bleeding, it seems that the places that the tumors were removed in her last surgery didnt close properly and they began bleeding until she passed out. She probably had dizzy sensations and trouble breathing, I'm surprised she didnt let anyone know that something was wrong."

Olivia was instantly overcome with guilt, "Where is she? Can I see her?"

"She's comatose right now, we dont know whether or not we should expect her to wake up anytime soon. But she is in room one-eighteen, down the hall, if you would like to go see her."
