Cookies and ice cream for everyone!

Olivia looked up to see none other than Richard White smiling menacingly down at her.

"Time to get up Olivia."

White pinned Olivia down on the bed, his knees on her thighs and arms pinning hers above her head.

He began kissing her neck, down to her collarbone. "So much better than that other bitch."

Olivia squirmed under his weight. His knees would definitely be leaving big ugly bruises on her thighs.

He made his way back up to her neck, biting down hard. He moved his lips quickly to hers, muffling her scream.

Olivia could feel the trickle of blood now running down her neck.

She was scared, but mostly she was angry.

This man had dominated her life for the past months. Her thoughts revolved around him, her work revolved around him, and although she never admitted it to anyone, she was scared of him..

Her thoughts were interrupted by White punching her right in the eye. It was a hard hit, and disoriented Olivia for a moment. Then he moved one of his hands down to cup her breast.

No more would she be afraid of him.

She now had a free hand. Taking her possibly one and only chance, Olivia drew her right arm back, and threw the hardest punch she could considering the position she was in.

It right in the middle of White's face. She heard a sickening crunch as her fist connected with his face; she had broken his nose.

White involuntarily moved his hands to cover his nose, calling her a bitch in the process, but Olivia didn't stop there.

She seized this opportunity and pushed White off her. He went flying to the floor and she followed him, jumping on top of him so that she straddled his waist.

Punch after punch landed on White's face, chest, and arms, until he was a bruised and bloody messed.

He moaned and tried to move out from under her, but Olivia only saw red. She didn't stop her attack until a pair of strong arms wrapped themselves around her and pulled her up.

"Olivia! Liv!" the voice said.

And suddenly she snapped back into reality.

She turned to see the arms belonged to Elliot. He looked scared, concerned, and angry.

Then she turned back to the body on her floor. It was almost unrecognizable.

"Liv, are you ok?" she looked at Elliot again to discover him searching her body for injuries.

"I- I'm fine." she said, bringing her hand up to her neck where the stinging from the bite was torturing her. Then she noticed the soreness of her thighs, and the throbbing in her left eye.

The next hour was a blur. Back up had arrived along with an ambulance, taking White away. CSU made a mess of her apartment, statements were taken, and everyone left by 5.

Olivia and Elliot sat on the couch, Elliot holding an ice pack to Olivia's eye which had darkened considerably.

"El I'm fine." Olivia said, smiling at his concern, trying to move away from his hand and the ice pack.

"Liv please." Elliot said, putting the ice pack right back on her eye.

She looked at him and his attitude toward her didn't go unnoticed.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Are you kidding me?" Elliot said angrily.

"Did I do something?"

Elliot looked at her incredulously and got off the couch. He began to pace around the room, and Olivia watched him closely, waiting for him to talk.

"I wasn't there for you." he began. "I should never have left you here when that woman knocked on the door. I should have figured it out that it was just a plan devised by White. I was so dumb, he could have killed you! And I wouldn't have been there to defend you! This is all my fault. Liv, I am so sorry."

Olivia sat there, shocked. How could he think this was his fault?

"El, there is no way you could have known it was White." she said, standing from the couch and making her way over to him.

"I should have." he looked down, refusing to meet her eyes.

"How?" she said, grabbing his hands.

"What?"

"How would you have known it was him? How were you supposed to know that he would use some poor girl to get to me?" she asked, trying to catch his eye.

"I- I don't know, but-"

"Exactly El, this is not your fault, and please do us both a favor and stop blaming yourself."

Elliot looked up to meet her eyes. He didn't see resentment, or blame like he expected. He saw love and worry.

"And you did save me." she added.

"How?" he asked, confused.

"If you hadn't come in when you did, I probably would have killed him." Olivia said completely serious.

"Serves him right." he said, just as serious.

Dropping his hands from hers, Elliot wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you more." she responded, smirking.

Elliot only chuckled and leaned down and kissed her.
