A/N: I'm loving the reviews, here's chapter 3.
"Did you guys get anything because we didn't." Amanda asked as her and Nick came back into the precinct.
Olivia and Fin had just come back themselves. They had spent five hours looking into the list of men Lizzie had sent them. The ones they checked either had an alibi or were too drunk to remember where they had been.
"No, the ones we got were all cleared." Fin said.
Nick sat at his desk. "Same here, they all had an alibi that checks out."
"This wasn't even all of them, this was just what she could remember." Olivia said, checking her phone. "How many are left on the list?"
"Only three." Amanda said.
Olivia put her phone in her pocket. "Let's check them out before we talk to them."
An hour later they had all the information the three men.
"Okay so Brad Jacobs, a senior at her college. Belongs to the frat house the party was at. He's also head football player there." Nick said, sitting on his desk. "He doesn't have anything on his record."
Amanda walked over to the screen displaying the pictures of them. "And Kyle Hartman, a junior, same as Lizzie. He also is in the fraternity, he has a charge of attempted robbery from when he was seventeen. Since it was his first, he walked with community service."
"Last one is clean, Mark Boyer. He's also a junior. Doesn't even belong to the fraternity, was there by invite. Nothing on his record." Nick said again.
Fin had just gotten off the phone with the lab. "DNA from the semen found on Lizzie hasn't come back. He didn't use a condom, so he slipped up."
Olivia shook her head. None of the three seemed like they could've done this, but everyone has two sides to themselves.
Noah was playing with his toys in his little play pen. Olivia had gotten home an hour ago since they didn't get the results from the lab. There was a rush on it, and they didn't know what the hold up was.
Olivia looked at the clock on the wall. It was already almost nine o'clock.
"Okay little man,it is way past your bedtime." She walked over and picked Noah up out of his play pen. He rubbed his eyes with his little hands. "Yeah you're tired."
She walked into the bedroom and laid him down in his crib. Lucy had already changed him into his pajamas before she got home. Olivia was happy she found a great baby sitter like her.
Olivia stood there softly stroking Noah's hair until he fell asleep after twenty minutes. She didn't mind, she liked putting him to sleep.
She quietly walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch. Brian would be home soon. That was good, she needed someone to talk to after the day she had. She had actually seen Elliot, he hadn't even talked to her in three years and this case suddenly brought him back. He would try to talk to her, she knew it. She was still pissed at him, he didn't get it. Sure she had to know why he wouldn't even talk to her, but she couldn't even look at him right now.
There was a slight knock at her door. Olivia got up and walked to the door. She didn't even think about who could be on the other side and opened the door to find Elliot standing there. She stood there in a form of shock for a couple seconds.
"How did you know where my new place was?" Olivia asked, hand still on the door knob.
Elliot sighed. "I followed you from the precinct, I had to talk to you."
"So when your daughter becomes a victim is when you decide to talk to me?" Olivia said angrily. "Why didn't you call me? I get that it was to much to keep the job, but we could've talked about it."
He shook his head. "Can I come in and we can talk about this?"
Olivia was conflicted about this. "Fine, but you have five minutes. And keep your voice down." She stepped back and he came in.
As soon as Elliot walked in he noticed all the baby toys on the floor. "When did you have a kid?"
Olivia closed the front door. "I became his foster mother a couple months ago. When a year is up me and Brian will be able to adopt him."
Elliot was shocked. "You and Cassidy? How long has that been going on?"
She rolled her eyes. "Almost two years, I guess you didn't come here to inspect my personal life, so talk." She kept her voice low.
"Look Liv, after I shot Jenna I fell apart. I started drinking after I turned my papers in. I got help because I became an alcoholic." He emphasized the word. "Now, I got better, but I just couldn't bare to see you. I didn't want you to see me after my life went to hell."
Olivia shook her head. "Wow." She said almost sarcastically.
"What?"
She was so mad but trying to speak as quietly as possible at the moment. "You think you've been through hell? No, I've been to hell and back Elliot. I was kidnapped, assaulted and almost raped! I thought I was going to die, no at one point I knew I was going to die. Do you know what kept me fighting? I thought maybe there was a slight possibility I would see your face again. And look now. I am still head strong, I have the job, and now I'm acting commander of SVU."
Elliot interrupted her. "Cragen's gone?"
She nodded. "So is Munch. But that's not the point."
"Then what is?" Elliot said, starting to get frustrated.
"The point is that I needed you! I had everyone else's support, and you weren't there!" Olivia started to get tears in her eyes and leaned against the wall. She needed him to leave before she got too worked up.
Elliot walked towards her. "Liv I'm sorry." He said softly.
"No, Elliot you need to leave."
"There's still something I need to tell you."
"Elliot I'm serious you need to get out." Olivia started walking towards the door.
Elliot grabbed her arm roughly, stopping her in her tracks. In that one moment she was thrown back into the nightmare of her life. She turned right after he grabbed her and slapped him across the face.
He let go of her, holding the side of his face.
Olivia snapped back to reality, realizing what happened. "Elliot.."
He shook his head. "No, it's okay." He had seen the look in her eyes, she was a different person now.
"Just say what you wanted to say." Olivia said.
Elliot moved his hand away from his face. "Liv, the reason I couldn't face you was because I loved you too much to break your heart."
"What are you saying Elliot, we've gone over this."
"Liv, I mean that I love you. I always have." He walked back over to her.
Olivia stood there processing what he had said. "El, I love you too. Just not like that. We were best friends, and I will always love you for that." She could see the look of hurt run across his face. "You should go, Brian will be home soon."
"Liv please."
"Elliot enough, it's done and over with-" Elliot cut her off by pulling her against him and kissing her.
What the hell am I doing? Olivia thought.
She pushed him away when she heard the front door open. She turned and saw Brian standing there.
"Bri-" She started but Brian interrupted her.
"Liv, what the hell? Stabler?"
Olivia shot Elliot an angry look, though she knew it was part her fault too.
Well this is just great. She thought to herself as Brian stared angrily at her.
A/N: Yikes! Please review :)
