Olivia unlocked her apartment door and flicked on the light. She opened the coat closest and hung her new leather jacket on the hanger Elliot followed suit.

"Liv I am sorry about earlier I didn't expect Kathy to call me." Elliot said with a regretful look in his eye.

Reality hit her like a ton of bricks, how could she be so stupid how could she let her self forget about Kathy, his wife!

"No, El I am sorry, you shouldn't be here I shouldn't have invited you up." She need him to leave, tears were threatening to spill.

"What are you talking about Liv? I wanted to come up remember?" he moved closer to her and reached for her hand.

"Elliot NO!" she pulled away from him tears now freely falling.

"Liv what the matter with you?"

"What the matter with me? What is the matter with you, you should be home with your family! Your wife and your kids, Elliot I'm just your partner, so why are you here!"

"Because Liv to me you're everything with out you I wouldn't be here!" he reached for her again and pulled her to his chest she sobbed into it holding on to him as if he would evaporate in seconds.

He slowly picked her up and kissed her passionately one thing lead to another and before either of them new what had happened they were in bed. Elliot's arms were wrapped around Olivia's naked form still hot from the experience they shared. He leaned down to kiss her neck but she pushed herself away.

"No Elliot go home."

"I don't want to go home Liv I want to be with you!"

"No Elliot please I can't be the second women I just can't would you Please leave now!"

"Fine bye" He grabbed his cloths and jacket and opened the door as he was about to close it she heard him say…. "But I do love you Olivia and always will."

Olivia showed up at work the next day to find that Elliot had taken a weeks vacation the first in 7 years.

So he works and he builds with his own two hands

And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

Elliot house

"Kathy I am sorry I don't know what's came over me lately, look I took a week off I was hoping we could talk about what's going on between us."

"What there to discus Elliot you work to much your never here the kids don't even no you anymore!"

"Kathy that's not true and you no it"

"Its not? Yesterday Dicki asked me if you went on a vacation without us!"

"Kathy what do you want me to do quite my job I can't! Not only do we need the money but people count on me, Kathy I can't quite!"

"I'm sure Olivia has something to do with it!"

"Yea she's my partner! I can't just walk away from that Kathy I have to watch her back I promised that I would when I became her partner."

"What about the promises you made me Elliot, to honor and cherish, to be faithful! I am not asking you to quite all I'm saying is…. Well no you no what either you leave SVU or leave me."

His American Dream is beginning to seem

More and more like a nightmare

With every passing day"

Daddy, can you come to my game?"

"Oh Baby, please don't work late."

Another wasted weekend

And they are slipping away

"Please Kathy don't make me do that I promise I wont work so late I promise I'll be home more please! It will get better."

"You have a month you change things or I will. Nevertheless, you are sleeping on the couch tonight.

Elliot lay awake at night tossing and turning on the old fold out couch thinking of what he is gonna do, and thinking about Liv.

He works all day and lies awake at night

he tells them things will get better

It'll just take a little more time

"I can't leave SVU, I cant leave Liv." He thought to himself before he fell asleep.

A week later he returned to work, he was not resigning he couldn't besides Kathy had already field for separation.

He had just entered the 1-6 thanking god he was back when he found his partners desk empty not a scrap of Olivia's life was on it just a cream colored envelope that had Elliot written in her neat cursive. He tore it open.

Dearest Elliot,

The rest of the guys already no what I am about to tell you. I am resigning from SVU when you read this I will already be gone. Not just from SVU but from New York all together. Elliot I don't want you to blame your self, but I cant live here with the constant reminder of you and how much love I shared for you and how much I am unable to be with you. I am sorry so sorry but I do not trust myself around you any more Elliot after are episode a few nights ago. I cannot do that to you or Kathy. I asked Cragen not to tell you were I was transferred to so please don't ask. I really am sorry Elliot I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I love you.

Always and Forever y ours,

Olivia Benson

Now he works all day and cries alone at night

It's not getting any better

Looks like he's running out of time

'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands

And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand

But the wind and the rain came crashing in and only

Time can tell if his kingdom will stand.

THE END
