All the characters of Law & Order SVU belong to Dick Wolf and NBC Universal.
Note 1: The bands reflected in this fic I saw in a NatGeo documentary. I found it super interesting. Although I think I soften them a bit, on TV they paint them much worse hahaha
Note 2: This chapter has allusions to episodes of two of my favorite SVU seasons (7 Fault and 8 Burned). My favorite episode is Philadelphia. It also has allusions to one of my favorite songs by Celine Dion, who notice which song is tells me in the comments.
Chapter 11
I lied to you
- Olivia come out please, let's talk – Elliot said
- No, go, I do not want to see you anymore, let me cry to my partner in peace without having to listen to you - Olivia said
- Olivia please, I just want to help you - Elliot said
- Seriously? but if you are the cause of half of my misfortunes, go away, I do not need you, I hate you and I do not want to see you anymore - Olivia shout
- Ok, I'll do what you want, you made it clear this time - Elliot said and left the bathroom. Olivia started crying even more uncontrollably, she could not believe what she had done.
Elliot on his side went to Cragen's office where they were all gathered
- What happened? What did Olivia say? Where is she? - Casey asked
- Still in the bathroom, she hates me, I thought we were fixing things, we stepped forward and now they we are two steps behind, she simply cannot forgive me - Elliot said
- Give her time, I think everything that has happened lately has been too much for her; the one that you have left, being paired with Nick, the kidnapping, his death, the fact that you have returned; she cannot deal with everything, now she is realizing that she cannot control every aspect of her life - Huang said
- I doubt it, she blames me for everything that has happened, time will not change that, not in a person as stubborn as her - Elliot said
- What Detective Benson needs is a psychiatrist to help her with her demons, nothing more - Amanda said
- For your information Detective Rollins, Olivia has over a year and a half attending therapy with me and let me tell you that all she needs is to have a good healthy relationship with this man. Yes of course, both are so stubborn that first hell would freeze before they arrange something if one of the two does not give. Understand that if Benson and Stabler are fine, the world is beautiful and in harmony, but if they are fighting, they can cause the beginning of World War 3 - Huang said pointing to Elliot
- I was blamed for starting that war when Olivia and Elliot shouted in the middle of the SVU during the Gitano - Cragen said
- And I do not believe that was the worst; when the Sennett case they almost killed each other here and then the next morning they were all smiles with each other; what happened between 11:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. the next day I do not know - Fin said laughing
- Enough, I understood the point; I'm going to the conference room, I'll do my paperwork and I'll leave; thank you you convinced me Olivia will be better off without me - Elliot said and went to the conference room annoyed to have had to listen to all that.
Hours later Olivia was calmer sitting at her desk doing the paperwork, you could still see her red eyes, but she was not crying anymore. Elliot on his part was coming out of Cragen's office after handing in his paperwork.
- Happy? I gave everything to Cragen, you're not going to have to see me again in your life, I hope you're happy - Elliot said to Olivia
- Yes, thank you, I will be, now disappear from my sight, I do not want to see you anymore - Olivia said and looked back at her computer. Elliot felt it like a stab in the chest, but he did not say anything, he simply turned around and headed to the elevators. They all watched the scene from Cragen's office wondering how long it would take for Olivia or Elliot to regret what they had done, if at any time they did.
Olivia looked up again and saw that she was completely alone, Elliot was gone. The tears involuntarily began to run down her cheeks, she could not believe what she had done, she had again let go of the man she knew she loved, she could not allow that; Elliot and her had gone through many bad situations and always found a way to overcome it, because this had to be different, because she had to be so stubborn, twist her arm or tell the truth about what she felt, all this was ridiculous, Huang had warned her about this moment in therapy, it was time to give Elliot and herself a second chance to be happy and get out of that hole where she was getting herself. At that moment she got up from the chair, took her jacket and left SVU, ran down the stairs to the parking lot to be able to stop Elliot.
When the elevator opened in the parking lot Elliot was shocked to see Olivia waiting for him, He was going to ask her why she was there, but she did not give him a chance.
- I lied to you, nothing I said is what I really feel; I need you more than you think, you are the only person who held me and never let me fall as I did now, because you are my strength when I am weak and you are also the only one able to give me faith and make me believe ; if you leave now I do not think my heart will resist Elliot, I need you more than I've ever needed anything in my life, but I'm still afraid that you'll leave me again and feel like I feel now, I do not want that Elliot , I love you too much - Olivia said while the tears ran down the both of their cheeks. He walk to her and put his hands on each side of her face and with his thumbs clean her tears
- I'm sorry, you have no idea how sorry I am my Livi; I never wanted to hurt you, I just wanted to protect you, I did not want to drag you into my misery, it's incredible that I still did it, I'm so sorry; You are the most important woman in my life I only want the best for you and you to be happy, I believe that you deserve something better than all this disaster in which I have put you; Olivia I love you so much that doing what I thought best I did not realize the damage I was doing, I'm so sorry my Livi Love - Elliot said still holding her and looking into her eyes. Olivia gave him a shy smile.
- Better consult with me first what I consider better for me before you lock me in a glass box - Olivia said smiling
- I do not think so, the glass breaks and you can get hurt - Elliot said also smiling and Olivia laughed
- Elliot seriously I need to know that you will not leave me again, I do not think I can live with that if it happens again - Olivia said seriously. Elliot looked into her eyes and then took something out of his pocket, the necklace with the Semper Fidelis badge that he had sent Olivia after he left, he took it and put it on her neck
- Semper Fi, always faithful Olivia, I promise you I'll never let you whatever happens I'll always be by your side, I love you - Elliot said. Olivia looked at the necklace and smiled at Elliot.
- Where did you get it? I thought they had it stored as evidence - Olivia said
- Working for Quantico has its advantages, I do not have to follow the rules of Alex and Casey - Elliot said laughing
- Yes, but you still have to understand with them later - Olivia said laughing
- That does not worry me, I'm not afraid of them; I'm more afraid of you, you know to hit me where it hurts - Elliot said
- Poor thing - Olivia said, making a puppy face
- Do not do that, you know that you manipulate me with that - Elliot said
- That's exactly why I do it, I'm in love with you Elliot - Olivia said looking into his eyes
- And I'm in love you with too Olivia - Elliot said and put his lips delicately on Olivia's and kissed her. The kiss was sweet, but full of feelings, emotions and a lot of repressed sexual tension. This began to become more and more passionate, the tongues of each one explored each corner of the mouth of the other; Elliot put his hands on Olivia's hair caressing it while she had her hands around his neck. After a few minutes they separated when the air began to run out.
- Believe me I wanted to do that from the moment I met you - Elliot said smiling
- Believe me, me too, let's go home - Olivia said and Elliot and she went to the car holding hands.
