I own no one but my own people
Later that day
"How could the bastard do that to me?" Mike thought as he nursed another beer in his apartment. It was his sixth beer in that hour and he was clearly drunk. He heard a knock on the door and got up grumbling.
"What?" he said a little annoyed opening the door and seeing Olivia at his door.
"Oh, sor, sorry Olivia. What are you doing here?" he said in a drunken slur.
"Can I come in?" she said softly but anger was clear in her eyes. He nodded then moved out of the way taking another drink of his beer.
"So what's up?" he said struggling to stand up.
"Did you hit Elliot then tell him to lie about it?" she said speaking calmly but anger clear in her eyes. Mike thought for a moment before taking another drink of his beer.
"Well did you?"
"yeah, did it work?" Olivia sighed sadly before nodding
"yeah it worked. Your caption called me screaming, asking if Elliot got beat up by a pedophile and was to embarrassed to tell about it."
"Wha, what'd you say?"
"I said yes but that's not the point Mike. Our relation ship is not supposed to interfere with our work. Why did you do that?" Mike shrugged
"well I was kind of hoping you would be happy, but seeing how you look very pissed at me, I'm guessing that your not."
"you think? Cragen and me could have gotten him out, you really didn't have to go beat the shit out of him then have him lie about it."
"Well gee Olivia, I'm sorry for getting your partner out of jail. And since you and your caption was doing such a great job at setting him free, I should of left it up to you." he said angrily taking another drink out of his beer
"Don't get angry at me, and no matter how drunk you are I do not deserve that" she said glaring at him. She could clearly see he was flat drunk but she wasn't about to be spoken to like that. Mike sighed then sat down on his couch and put his head down
"your right, I'm sorry about that, I'm just dealing with a lot right now. Not just with the whole Elliot thing but, you don't even know what kind of shit I'm going through" Olivia went over and sat next to him
"you want to tell me about it?" Mike sighed sadly then picked up his beer but Olivia took it away.
"No alcohol, tell me what's wrong" she said a little sternly.
"It's nothing" he mumbled looking away
"nothing, your flat ass drunk and your telling me it's nothing? Please talk to me" she said gently intertwining his hand in hers.
"It's just, my boss told me something that really pissed me off today."
"What?"
"he, he told me that I'm transferring." He quickly stood up and held back tears.
"Your transferring, well thats good. Maybe your gonna have a boss that won't have a problem with our relationship." Mike scoffed then turned towards her.
"Don't you get it Olivia, there's no more relationship. I have to break up with you." Olivia got wide eyes for a few moments before she got up and went over to him
"what are you talking about?"
"I'm transferring to LA, my plane leaves next week." There was silence in his apartment for the next minute whale she registered the information.
"So, is this permanent?"
"yeah, I couldn't get out of it."
"Yes you can" Olivia said feeling herself get tears in her eyes.
"You can transfer to Queens or Brooklyn or-"
"I all ready tried. He all ready called all five boroughs and told them I'm dating a detective. Apparently they all think like him."
"You can't leave, what about your home, what about me?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know what to do."
"You lie! you tell him that you broke up with me and then we just don't tell him that we're still dating."
"I did, he didn't believe me. I just, I don't know what to do." Olivia let a tear fall but wiped it away
"Mike listen, you are the best thing that happened to me, you can't leave."
"I feel the same way Olivia but theres nothing I can do about it."
"Quit, then they can't transfer you"
"I can't quit, then I wouldn't have a job. I'm sor-" then he stopped and got wide eyes.
"What, what's wrong?"
"I just had a great idea, move with me." Olivia opened her mouth the closed it again
"I can't do that, I can't leave New York."
"Why not, Olivia do you understand that if I leave we will never see each other again? I don't want to lose you. You could easily get a job as a detective there, they need cops out there. And hopefully they won't be as uptight about us dating, we could make this work Liv." Olivia was silent for a few seconds. she loved him and this was the first guy in a long time that she trusted. But she loved her job and her life here
"Mike, I love you more then anything in the world, but"
"then what's the problem? Why does there have to be a but?"
"Because I don't want to give up my life here"
"and I don't want to give you up. Olivia I'm in love with you, and I don't want us to be apart. Move to LA with me. It'll be fun and who knows, you may see Garth Brooks out there" he said with a small smile. Mike was the only one that Olivia told that she loved country music and had a huge crush on Garth Brooks.
"I, I can't. I can't leave all my friend"
"you can make new ones in LA." Olivia sniffed and let a tear fall down her face before Mike wiped it away
"I don't want to lose you Olivia."
"I'm sorry, I got to go" she said her voice breaking as she went to the door.
"Olivia wait" he said before she closed the door. He sighed then flopped down on his couch before taking another drink of his beer.
"I hate being IAB."
