Chapter 2

*S.V.U. Squad room*

8:25 A.M.

Olivia arrived at the precinct 35 minutes early than usual. She walked over to her locker where she met Elliot. He did not even acknowledge her presence, save for sucking his teeth before walking away.

Elliot knew that deep down he had feelings for Olivia, which had become much more intense after he and Kathy were divorced. In reality, Olivia was head over heals for him as well, but chose not to say anything, fearing it would ruin their friendship if her feelings were not reciprocated.

She headed back out into the squad room where she still getting the "traitor" look from all of those she was supposed to trust the most. She sat down at her desk and trying to forget the looks from her co-workers. She began working on filling the details on some back paperwork. Forty-five minutes later, started to feel sick. She had been replaying the events leading up to today in her head over and over.

Before this whole mess started, Olivia never once thought she would eventually be a victim of rape. Her worst fear had become a reality, thanks to her boyfriend, Jacob Rhymes. She wanted nothing more than to tell Elliot, but now was it too late. The other detectives, Elliot included, didn't even seem to want her around the station anymore, let alone have the desire to investigate her rape case.

She felt her stomach lurch and ran to the ladies' room and emptied her stomach. When she finished, she rinsed her mouth out. A terrifying thought entered her mind, "What if I'm pregnant?" Jacob hadn't used a condom the last time…

A few tears escaped from her eyes. She did want to have a child, but not right now and certainly not with him. She dried her tears and went back to her desk. She still felt a bit light-headed, but brushed it off, doing what she did best lately and not care.

2 Weeks Later…

Olivia had really done nothing for herself lately. She only went as far as bathing and dressing decently. She had eaten very little and her clothes were beginning to hang off her already small frame. Even with all that had happened, everyone in the unit was beginning to worry about her. She was paler than ever and this was the first time that any of them had seen her let herself go like this.

Elliot had been going out of his mind trying to figure out what was wrong with Olivia. On a few occasions, he had asked Olivia out for drinks after work, but all she ever did was walk away without responding.

Olivia walked into work a few moments later looking especially disheveled. She went to her locker to put her bag away. She stared at the combination lock but everything was now a blur, the voices around her slowed down and her body started to shake, finally collapsing into Elliot's arms.

He eased her to the floor and tried to shake her awake she opened her eyes an Elliot asked, "What happened?"

She only able to made out the words "rape, I---" and lost consciousness. Elliot immediately checked for a pulse and found a very faint one. Elliot looked down at Olivia and realized her shallow breathing had stopped. He called out in the squad room for help. Fin, Munch, Cragen and Alex rushed into the locker room to find Elliot on the floor giving Olivia mouth to mouth resuscitation. Alex pulled out her cell and called an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived shortly and the paramedics began working on Olivia. Elliot rode to the hospital with her reported what Olivia had told him and the findings of her to the paramedics. They rushed her into trauma and held Elliot in the waiting room.
