A/N: Just to get it across, I know Elliot isn't THAT cruel but I needed some conflict to work with and believe me there will definitely be some repercussions and answers for his outburst. Not trying to make Olivia heroic, just put her in a lot ofdifferent stressful situations.But, don't worry I'll return your normal Elliot back. Sorry for the upsets. Thanks for the reviews, glad you guys really like it.

Chapter Three:

At first, Munch and Fin thought nothing of Olivia and Elliot's arguments coming from the locker room. Actually, they started to humor the noisy couple, until they heard a loud banging noise.

It was the kind of loud banging noise that people around here normally relate the dented lockers to Elliot's fists to bloody knuckles. This caused both Munch and Fin to rise to their feet.

However the two just looked at each other, then shrugged it off, and sat back down to return to the last of their paperwork.

Moments later, although it was a never before heard sound to the detectives, both heard Olivia scream. They stared at each other, almost as if agreeing they really heard it and then took off towards the room in spilt-seconds.

"What the hell happened to him?" thought Olivia, still pinned against the lockers. "I mean I've seen him angry but this, this is just… I'm his partner and his best friend! I've got to do something before I...- no don't think negatively. Maybe I should try and get him to talk again..?"

"Elliot," she whispered. "Elliot, listen. Get control of yourself."

Smack.

Olivia let out a small groan. "What is that five times now?" she thought as she felt cold blood trickle down her face.

"Stop please!" she tried to yell but it came out only a whisper. "I know you don't mean this." His hand went up and she winced at the sight.

"Elliot stop, I'm your partner, Olivia; your best friend!" she spit out. Her level of fear had reached its' peak and she wasn't sure she would ever get out of this situation.

Miraculously, His hand dropped to his side and his grip loosened. This darkness in his eyes was replaced by sheer terror. He removed his hand form her shoulder and stepped back, a look of panic written all over his face.

But, everything was getting more blurry by the second and Olivia started to feel woozy.

"Oh, God," she thought, "I think I'm going to faint." And with that, she collapsed to the floor.

"Oh my God," whispered Elliot to himself. "What did I just do?" Never had he lost that much control. "All she tried to do was help and you practically killed her!" shouted his conscience.

That's when she fell to the floor, almost lifeless looking. There was blood all over her face. There was also blood all over his hand. "Her blood."

And then Munch and Fin came running in.

"What the hell did you do to her!" yelled Fin. Munch's mouth just continued to stay dropped. "What the hell did she do to you!"

Elliot just stared at them, still panicked.

"Call a bus, I think she's unconscious!" yelled Fin to Munch. Munch ran to go use the telephone on his desk. Turning to Elliot he said, "Maybe Rickett was right." He shook his head in disgust and picked up Olivia, placing one arm around her knees and the other across her back. He started to walk out of the room with her, but stopped and turned to Elliot. Almost with an apologetic look he said, "Wait 'till the Captain gets a hold of this one."

The last few minutes had been distant to Elliot. Fin and Munch had come in. They yelled at him - well, Fin did anyway, and said something about her being unconscious.

"Wow, you really blew it this time," he thought.

He watched as Fin carried Olivia out the door but not before he heard Fin say, ""Wait 'till the Captain gets a hold of this one."

"The Captain." Elliot stared down at his hands. His family, his job, his partner and best friend; he just ruined it all. And what if Olivia presses charges? "I'll never see her again... Hell, I could be in jail. But that doesn't matter now. I'm a monster I deserve to be locked up forever." He was about to punch the lockers but stopped. "Why can't I control myself!" he shouted to himself, "This is ridiculous!" He sat down on the bench in the middle of the room and put his head in his hands. "I've got to make this right."

"Olivia…? Olivia…?" Olivia blinked her eyes. Her head was throbbing and her jaw felt like it was hit with three hundred pounds of bricks. She found herself in blank room of white.

"Did I die?" she asked sitting up. She heard familiar chuckles to her right and look in the direction. Munch and Fin sat in two uncomfortable looking chairs. Getting up, the two wandered over to her beside.

"Good Morning, Liv" said Munch still smiling.

Olivia looked around her room and then down at herself. "Shit."

"I'm in a hospital!" she groaned.

Fin brushed a stray lock of hair out of her face. "Yeah, Elliot really banged you up. You passed out before me and oh, Super Munch here could come to your rescue."

Munch shot him a dirty look. "Shut up, Sidekick."

"Elliot." She remembered that cold darkness that overcame his eyes, and that pure look of rage on his face and shivered. "Where is he?" That was not something she should really be thinking. She shook her head. "Why is it that he can beat the crap out of me and I still worry about him?"

"The Captain is coming in soon. He wants to make sure you're alright," interrupted Fin.

"The Captain!" said Olivia, now hating herself. "No, he can't, Elliot will-"

"We didn't tell him what happened. That's up to you," interrupted and explained Munch.

"If I were you, I'd tell him. I don't care how much you're blaming yourself or how close you guys were, nobody deserves to get away with beating the crap outta you," said Fin coldly. "But we're shutting up." They grabbed their stuff and said goodbye, leaving Olivia alone.

She tried to comprehend what just went on, but it was so much to take in. "Do I give him up to the Captain or keep my mouth shut?" Pondering what to do, Olivia fell into a deep sleep once again.

"Liv, hey Liv. Wake up."

Olivia groaned. "I must've fallen asleep."

"What?" she said, angry at whomever was waking her up. She didn't even bother to open her eyes.

"Liv, it's me."
