Olivia and Elliot were the last to be at the station, Olivia was waiting for Mike and Elliot was filling out a report. They sat across from each other and looked at each other without saying anything, it wasn't awkward silence it was comfortable silence and they needed it. After a few minutes Elliot decided to start the conversation.

"Are you going somewhere tonight? Asks Elliot.

Yeah, I'm going bowling with Mike. Olivia answers. And you ?

- I ... I'm going to see Dani again it's been a long time.

- Dani ...

- You are jealous?

- No...! Do what you want El, I hope everything goes well.

- Avoid arriving late tomorrow!

- I won't be. "

Mike walked in and Elliot gave him the darkest glance so Mike hastened to pull Olivia away from him. After they left Elliot was reluctant to call Dani because obviously he didn't have a date with her, he only wanted to make Olivia jealous. As he was about to call her he received a message from Olivia.

it was good to talk to you. It's been a long time, it made me happy. *

I'm happy too * El replies simply.

So much the better *

He smiles at the message and returns home without regret not having called Dani, after all he didn't want to she had destroyed so much and so many people.

The next morning Olivia arrives at the station first, Elliot does not take long before arriving too he says hello to Amanda and Finn then he goes in the locker room to find Olivia. By the time she arrived Olivia had put on a t-shirt that showed some marks on her handle. It didn't take long for Elliot to notice his few injuries, she watched him give her a small smile and tried to run away but Elliot blocked her way.

"Liv, did Mike do this to you?" Elliot asks.

No he loves me ... Olivia answers.

- Liv, you're lying to me.

- No El.

- So look me in the eye.

- He ... El ...

(Olivia collapses in his arms)

- What's he doing to you?

- Nothing, El ... Excuse me.

- You love her ?

- Yeah, I don't know.

- Come to my house tonight.

- No, Elliot.

- It wasn't a question Liv, you're coming.

- Okay."

They both went back to work and the day was going normally Elliot took his coat and Olivia's and they went to his house.

When they arrived Olivia had to call Mike to tell him that she wouldn't be there tonight.

/ "Hello darling, tonight I will not come home I have a lot of work ... Said Olivia.

Come home my darling. Quickly ! Mike said.

(Elliot could hear it and it made him mad with rage)

- Mike ...

- You know he's waiting for you.

- Mike please ... don't do that ...

- If Olivia! You are a bitch ...

- Mike I'm sorry ... "/

Mike hung up Olivia started to cry and Elliot hugged her.

He lifted her head with his index finger and stared into her eyes. "Nothing will happen to you Liv again, I won't let get sick touching one of your hair anymore" he said at that moment an intense heat spread through Olivia's heart.

A tear rolled down her cheek, those were the words she wanted to hear but the moment Elliot hugged her someone knocked on the door.

"Hi Elliot, it's Mike, can you open up for me… Olivia is gone and I don't know where she is… said Mike.

Hi Mike, she's not here but let me know when you find her I'm busy and can't help you right now. Elliot answers.

- Elliot are you sure?

- Yes.

- Elliot I know she is there so now open I need to see her.

- She is not there.

- If she would have disappeared you would have done everything to find her, so please open up.

- No.

- I told you to open it up!

- Go away Mike!

- Olivia you bitch I know you're here and if you don't come now I'm going to be very angry.

- Get off Mike!

- Elliot you're in deep trouble! Open the door!

- No and never touch her again you asshole! Now get out of here

- If she doesn't come back I'll kill you Elliot! "

Mike was gone after a few minutes and Olivia was relieved. She knew he wasn't done with her but what worried her the most was that he wasn't done with Elliot, she couldn't imagine for a second being the cause. a problem or even a murder. She could not. She did not want to. "El, I should go, you're going to be in trouble because of me and I don't want this to end badly. She said, Olivia was about to leave when Elliot grabbed her by the arm.

"You have to file a complaint. Said Elliot

No, once out he ... He will kill you! Replies Olivia

- Olivia ...

- He is ready for anything and he will not hesitate to shoot you.

- Olivia I can't lose you, not again!

- I can not!

- Whether you can! And you will do it because we will win!

- Elliot! You have a child and a family! I have none of that so no!

- Olivia ...

- That's the truth El!

- and me ?

- El ... Stop.

- Don't go join him, do it for me!

- Elliot ...

- Rest.

- I...

- I beg you.

- I'm staying."

She closed her eyes to her last words and it was all a stress that went away. She was scared, she almost faced death and the man she loves detention.

She wanted to scream at him what loved her and make love to him for hours but she knew she couldn't fall back into his arms, not after the misfortune she caused him.

But tonight she wanted to talk to him, not about the feelings she was having but about Mike, what she was going through, she wanted to show him the wounds he left her.

She knew Elliot was analyzing him and she knew he was going to start this painful discussion.

"Liv. Said Elliot.

I know El. Olivia honestly answers

- Tell me.

- I can't ...

- So take the time you need Liv ... "

He put his hand on hers. Olivia was determined, she wanted to show him. Show him his wounds.

"El, I have to show you ... said Olivia.

Livie my darling, you didn't have to. Elliot answers.

- I want it.

- Are you sure.

- Yes."

The fact that he called her "my darling" had melted his heart. She was determined.

She stood up and unbuttoned her white silk shirt. Once the shirt was on the floor Elliot looked at her with rage in his eyes he wanted to kill Mike for the things he had done to Olivia, his Olivia.

He placed his hands on her hips, at first she jumped, then in contact with his warm skin she let him. He gently stroked each of her bruises and Olivia could see a tear escaping his eyes. She knelt down, rested her forehead on Elliot's and took his hands.

"It's over. Elliot whispers.

Promise me ... Olivia answers softly.

- I promis you.

- El, I'm so tired. "

He took her hand and led her to his bed, he gave her one of his larger t-shirts and she put it in front of him shamelessly. Then he took her in his arms and placed her gently in her bed. He stood next to her and stroked her hair, placing a kiss on her forehead. She felt safe for the first time in a long time. She turned to face him and she hugged him, she started to cry, Elliot stroked his back to soothe him. He hugged her tighter in his arms then she stopped crying, she laid her head on his chest and fell asleep to the sweet melody of her heartbeat.

The next morning she was woken up by the smell of pancakes she looked at the time displayed on the alarm clock • 10:00 a.m. • got up from bed and found Elliot in the kitchen.

She looked at him for a few moments before sitting down at the table.

"El! It's 10am we're late for work! Olivia said.

No Liv, I called Cragen and told him you had to rest and that we would come by and explain. Elliot answers.

- No Elliot I don't want to tell Cragen!

- Liv you have to do it!

- El ... it's so difficult ...

- I will be there.

- You promise me ?

- Promised

- Thanks El ... I didn't know you were cooking?

- Me neither ! "

They continued to have breakfast in a good mood then they got ready to go see Cragen. Before going they went to Olivia's apartment so that she could get some clothes. When she entered her apartment was completely ransacked she looked at Elliot then she took the frame that was on the floor. In it was a picture of the two of them, she began to cry and Elliot hugged her.

"It was my favorite picture ... said Olivia.

Liv ... get some stuff and we get out of here okay?

- Yes Yes.

- Liv look at me, you're stronger than that for not letting him destroy you.

- Thanks El. "

She smiled at him, took the picture without the frame then grabbed some clothes. She felt helpless in the face of the situation but thanks to Elliot everything seemed easier.

It was time for them to go see Cragen. When they arrived in his office Elliot closed the door which astonished Cragen.

He knew now that what was going to happen in that office was going to be serious and very important.

"Captain I have to ... I have to tell you a few things ..." Olivia said, seeing that she was afraid Elliot took her hand which reassured her immediately.

" I'm listening to you. Cragen responds.

This is Mike ... whispers Olivia.

What are you going all right with you? Cragen asks.

He ... Elliot please tell him I couldn't do it. Olivia said with tears in her eyes.

Captain, Mike is violent with Olivia. Elliot exclaims.

What? Did he touch Olivia? Elliot finds him now! Orders Cragen, broken by the words he had just heard.

No ! I want him to stay with me, please Elliot ... Said Olivia.

Very well. Go home and I'll keep you posted. Elliot I'm counting on you you know Olivia got like my daughter. Cragen responds. "

He nodded to answer her and they immediately left the office to go home.
