"Liv?" Kathleen knocked on the door "You okay?"
"Hey Kath.." Olivia said quietly
Kathleen walked over to the bed and sat beside the detective
"Any word?"
Olivia shook her head "No.."
"It'll all be alright Liv. This will work out-"
"-It wont Kath.. I-I'm not going to walk, am I?"
Kathleen pulled the woman closer "Liv, we don't know anything yet. Anything could happen"
"I'm sorry"
"For what Olivia?"
"...I want to break up"
Kathleen pulled back from the detective, and her jaw dropped "What?"
"I'm sorry Kath, I just..cant"
"Olivia.. we fought too hard to be together for you to just give up-"
"Well I am.. I'm so sorry. Please Kath, just go"
Kathleen nods mutely and walks out. When she gets out the door she lets her tears fall. What the hell just happened?

"To be honest Kath, I'm not all that surprised.." Elliot said as his daughter told him about what happened today
"What?"
"Olivia pushes people away. Give her time"
"No! No! I wont give her time! I'm sick of giving her time.."
"Kath. Trust me, she'll come to her senses"
"Yeah.. Whatever.. I'm going for a walk"
"Where?"
"I don't care.. I need to think"

"Olivia. Please answer me.." Elliot said into the phone "what happened?"
"I-I just...cant Elliot. I cant force her to stay with me, trap her into it just because of this-"
"-you don't even know if you can walk or not Liv! They said it could be temporary?"
"-Yeah with a 90% chance it isnt. El, she deserves to be happy. If she stayed with me and I couldn't walk anymore she wouldn't be happy, s-she'd see me as a chore"
"Do you think thats how I raised my daughter? Olivia, she loves you. More than anything. All she cares about is being with you. She doesn't care if you can or cant walk. You wanna know what shes doing at the minute? Walking, outside, in the rain. I called her cell but she keeps disconnecting me.. Liv, please talk with her, she doesn't know why you wouldn't let her help and then you just dumped her"
Olivia sighed "I know Elliot! I just.. I don't know what to do.. I'm scared"
"I know you are. You push people away when your scared. Call her. Explain everything. She wont mind"
"What if she doesn't answer?"
"She'll answer for you"
"Thanks Elliot"
"No problem. And Liv? ...Everything finds a way of working out. Don't be negative, I know thats hard but try and think positively"
"I will."

Kathleen looked down at her cell as she felt it vibrate in her pocket
'I swear if he calls me one more time'
Just as she is about to hit disconnect she see's Olivia's picture flashing on the screen
"Hey" Kathleen said awkwardly
"Hi.. I um.. I need to talk to you Kath"
"About what Olivia?" Kathleen said colder than needed
"Could you call over?"
"I'm not far away. I'll be there soon"
Kathleen hung up and sighed. She needs some time to prepare for the feelings of heartbreak caused from just seeing the woman again.
