A/N: Okay, so I've received a few negative reviews about this story being a Bensidy story (you know who you are) that I've had to remove. I'd just like to say that I stated clearly in the summary this is a Bensidy story, so if you don't like it, please don't read it or write bad reviews for someone's story. I'm not trying to be rude, but it's true and I find it quite annoying. My little rant out of the way, sorry but this chapter is gonna be a little shorter.

All three of them stood there still as statues for a few moments. Elliot realized what a big mistake kissing her was. She didn't feel the same way back towards him. He could tell how much they cared for each other by the look on Brian's face.

"Elliot get out." Olivia said angrily at him, breaking the frozen silence.

Elliot just looked at her. "Okay, but Liv I'm not done talking about this."

Brian moved away from the door a little.

"Well I am, leave."

Elliot stormed off out the open door, Olivia following and shutting the door behind him.

"What the hell was that Liv?! Since when did he even start talking to you?" Brian threw his stuff on the kitchen counter hard. Olivia walked back towards him.

"He's only here because he's connected to the case we're working. And what the hell that was, was Elliot showing up here and trying to fix things."

Brian shook his head. "Oh, it looks like you two fixed a lot of things."

"We will never be able to go back to the way things used to be. Too much has happened since then."

Brian realized he was getting close to yelling and lowered his voice, trying to control himself. "Explain why the hell you were kissing him when I came through the door."

"Look, he kissed me. Right after he told me he has feelings for me." Olivia said that last part lightly.

"Please tell me you don't share those feelings."

Olivia shook her head. "No, I don't. Listen, we were arguing, he told me how he felt, and then he kissed me." She still had that glassy eyed look in her eyes from earlier.

Brian noticed this. He walked over to where he was standing. "Something else happened, didn't it?"

"What?" Olivia broke eye contact with him.

"Hey, I know you, I can tell something made you upset."

Olivia knew he would keeping badgering her until she gave him a straight answer. "It's not a big deal. We were arguing about what happened with Lewis. He grabbed me and it triggered a flashback."

Brian lightly grabbed her hand. "You okay?"

She pulled her hand away from his. "I said I'm fine. Elliot's face on the other hand is another story."

He gave her a confused look.

"I may have slapped him across the face before I snapped out of it." She said, still feeling bad about it.

Brian would've laughed at that if it were under better circumstances. She hit Stabler, and for good reasons right then he wanted to also.

"Brian, point is that I have no feelings for Elliot. I love you and only you." Olivia said, walking up to him.

He smiled. "I love you too Liv." He pulled her to him and kissed her.

She pulled away from him, smiling. She glanced back towards the bedroom where Noah was. "I am so surprised he slept through all that."

"Well he's either up and being quiet or just turning into a heavy sleeper." Brian went to sit on the couch.

Olivia went to join him. "I'd prefer the second option." She was half tempted to go check, but didnt near anything on the baby monitor. She thought about what had just happened with Elliot. She felt a little bad for what went down, but he didn't get that things were different now. Then she thought about when he kissed her.

No, push that out of your mind. She scolded herself in her mind. What she had said to both men was true. She still does and always will have a certain love for Elliot, but her heart belonged with Brian.

She leaned up against him, staring out the open window adjacent to them.

Elliot sat at the bar, already having downed his second drink. He'd just gone into the first bar he saw, not caring who saw him.

"Another one." He said to the man behind the bar. The man nodded and handed it to him almost immediately.

He had been trying to stay sober since he left. What happened to Lizzie didn't help, and he'd just had his heart broken by his best friend.

She's not your friend anymore. Elliot thought to himself, taking another sip of his drink. He knew the world move on without him, including her. He loved her too much to face her after the shooting. But he had to let her know how he felt.

Elliot had seen what happened with her and Lewis on the news and the internet. He wanted to come and see her, but he didn't have the heart to face her after that. He felt like such a jackass now. He had seen the look in her eyes when he'd grabbed her too hard. It was one he'd never seen in the twelve years he'd beven her partner. True and utter fear and horror. He also felt horrible about that, he had returned her to the worst ordeal of her life.

"God I'm such an idiot." He said quietly to himself. He just sat there, taking a larger sip of his drink.

A/N: Avoided a break up through heart break. I feel bad for doing this to Elliot, but the story must to on the way it was planned! (Once again sorry for the shorter chapter). Please review :)
