A.N~ I dont own Law and Order, but i would be more then willing to take Christopher MEloni off your hands :) I just came up with this story so sorry if it sounds like other ones :( The song is "Come crying to me" by Lonestar. I am going to try to put at least one song in every chapter of this story.
disclaimer~ Elliot's wife leaves and gets full custody of the kids so he will never see them again. Olivia is in a long term realtionship that doesnt work the way it should:) I hope you enjoy.

Elliot and Kathy's home
Queens, NY
" Kathy....Please can we talk about this. Don't take my kids away from me.Please." Elliot was begging Kathy as she packed her things.
" No Elliot it is over. Here are the divorce papers. I have been having an affair. We are going to stay with him. We are getting married in 3 months. I am getting full custody. Now you can be with Olivia. I know you love her." Kathy said as she closed hte lid to ehr suitcase and handed Elliot the papers.
" Do not bring Olivia into this. SHe has nothing to do with us and you cheating on me. How the fuck could you accuse me off cheating on you with Olivia and then you turn around and get engaged to another man. You are a god damn hipocrit." Elliot screamed. His children were standing in the hall with tears in their eyes. Elliot opened the door to find them there.
" Daddy.....Where are we going?" Dickie choked out over the sobs.
" You have to go with mommy. Now guys this iskilling me but your mommy won't let me see you ever again. When you get older come and find me ok? I love you guys more then anything in this world." Elliot hugged all of them and stood up just as Kathy came out and hurried the children out the door. Elliot went to the phone. HE was all out crying now. He needed a friend around. His best friend.
" Benson..." Olivia groggily said.
" Liv its me. Kathy just left me." Elliot replied in between the tears.
" Who is that hunny?" Jeff asked from the other side of Olivia's bed.
" It's Elliot Jeff. Go back to sleep." she said as she patted his arm.
" I'm sorry for interuppting. I'll see you in the mornign Olivia." Elliot was about to hang up the phone but heard a faint " wait Elliot." He put the reciever back to his ear.
" Elliot I'll be right over. You shouldn't be alone right now. I'll see you in 20 minutes or so."
" Thanks Liv." Elliot hung up the phone.
" Don't tell me you are going to his house again?" Jeff said. He was sitting up now. Olivia got up and began to get dressed. She pulled on a dark pair of jeans and a light blue sweater.
" Don't start Jeff. Elliot is my best friend. I am going to be there for him. He is VERY important to me." She was screaming. She was tired of having this conversation. She now knew what Elliot went through everyday with Kathy.
" Well, if he is so important then maybe you should be with him." Jeff was getting dressed too.
" You know what Jeff screw you." Olivia took off her engaement ring and threw it at him. Jeff stormed out of the apartment. Olivia left shortly after in route to Elliot's house.

" Hey Liv." Elliot said as he stepped back to let her in.
" Hey El. I am so sorry." Olivia hugged him lightly before taking her coat off. " Tell me what happened?" Elliot recanted the whole night to her. By the end he was crying and Olivia had silent tears running down her cheeks.
" I'm sorry if I got you in trouble with Jeff." Elliot siad while drying his eyes.
" It was a long time coming. I broke it off with him. I didn't love him." Olivia stated.
" Would you stay here with mememem tonight Olvia?" Elliot shyly asked.
" Of course let's go." Olivia held out her hand and they walked to Elliot's room.
" I can sleep on the floor. You can have the bed." Elliot said as he took his shirt off and slipped into a pair of sweats. Olivia had her back turned to him.
" Elliot we have been best friends for what 8 years. I think we can sleep in the same bed together." Elliot laughed at the sarcasticness in her voice. She could be such a smart ass when she wanted to be. Elliot laid on the bed on his side. Olivia slipped in under hte covers on the other side. SHe had borrowed a pair of shorts and a shirt from Elliot. SHe was swimming in them.
Olivia could hear Elliot sobbing. SHe rolloed over and put her hand on his muscular arm. He rolled over to face her. She laid on her back and he rested his head on her chest. He soaked her shirt with tears. The radio was playing softly in the background.
I can see it in your eyes
Your livin a troubled life
and youve been hurtin more and more these days
you don't have to hide it
don't even have to fight it
baby all you have to do is just turn and walk away
when your tired of it all
and tears begin to fall
your backs to the wall
come crying to me
you dont have to be strong
you dont have to hold on
we've been there to long
come crying to me
I ll leave the living room light
burning all night
no don't even pack
don't even look back
baby come crying to me
you can get beyond this
all those empty promises
they dont have to hold you down no more
nothing could explain to me
you dont even need a key
all you have to do is knock
and ill unlock the door
Elliot looked up at Olivia. " This song is how I feel about you. I will always be here for you Elliot. No matter what. Whenever you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on, please know that I am here for you."
" I know Olivia. Thank you so much for being my friend." With that Elliot drifted off to sleep still restin his head on Olivia's chest. Olivia fell asleep shortly afterwards.
