Later that day
"You um, you wanna go get some coffee?" Elliot asked Olivia timidly as they were working on there paperwork for Grace's case. Olivia just kept her head down and continued to work, ignoring him like she had on the ride over.
"Come on Olivia, look I said I was sorry for saying that. Look why don't we go get some lunch and we can talk these things out?" Olivia ignored him and continued to work on her paperwork. Elliot sighed a little annoyed before he snatched the paper she was working on off of her desk.
"Give it back" Olivia said a little angrily.
"Not until we talk"
"theres nothing to talk about. You kissed Kathy and you said it was a mistake to fall in love with me" she said angrily snatching the paper back. Elliot sighed a little angrily
"I told you I didn't kiss her! she kissed me, and I said I was sorry for saying that. Okay I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! How many times do I have to say it?" he practically yelled. Olivia glared at him
"until you mean it." Olivia got up from her desk and walked away. Elliot sighed then looked around at the people looking at him in somewhat confusion.
"What?" he barked at the on lookers who quickly turned away.
"Damn, what the hell's going on with you guys?" Fin asked confused.
"Nothing, we're just having a little tiff."
"Didn't sound like no tiff, sounded more like someone did something bad."
"Look" Elliot said angrily "we broke up okay? I said it was a mistake to fall in love with her and she broke up with me. There, now you know." Elliot slammed down his pen and stormed away from his desk.
"Damn, they actually broke up? They lasted like a week" Fin said a little surprised. Munch shrugged
"please, they'll get back together within the next week. It won't last long, they're made for each other, it's like destiny."
"Why the hell are you so 'oh it's destiny, they're made for each other'. You don't believe in that kind of stuff".
"Yeah but ever since Karen and I-"
"Please don't start with that Karen shit again man" Fin said a little exasperated "you've talked about her all afternoon." Munch shrugged
"what can I say, she's unlike any girl I've ever met, I think I may be in love."
"Yeah well she's really getting on my nerves. Anyway, Elliot told her it was a mistake to fall in love with her, no women in there right mind would take a guy back if they said that to her."
"Yes but your forgetting one thing, they've been in love with each other since they laid eyes on each other. There bound to be together"
"I really hope your right" Munch scoffed
"when have I ever been wrong?" Fin thought for a moment before shaking his head
"nah, it's way to easy" he said with a grin before continuing on his paperwork.
"Whats with all the yelling?" Cragen asked coming out of his office.
"Your about a minute late, but I will happily explain it to you" Munch said spinning his chair around to face him. "Olivia broke up with Elliot who said that it was a mistake to fall in love with her and he kissed Kathy but apparently he didn't kiss Kathy but she kissed him. Elliot's pissed because she won't talk to him about it and even though he said he was sorry about ten times she still won't take him back until he means it. So now there both pissed and angry and they both stormed out of the precinct angrily and now here you are and I'm telling you about it." Cragen gave him a strange look
"so they broke up"
"yeah if you want to get technical." Cragen nodded then sighed
"I knew it, I knew this would happen if they started dating, why did they have to fall in love"
"Oh stop with the over dramatics, their get back together by the end of the week" Munch said turning his attention back to his paperwork. Cragen sighed then nodded
"your probably right, but this is why we have rules like partners can't date. "
"Yeah but, thats why they have such a kick ass captain like you in this unit" Munch said with a large grin. "Oh and by the way, Olivia went outside, Eliot went up on the roof. Cragen nodded then went out the front door of the precinct. Olivia was standing there, looking hurt and it looked like she had been crying.
"Hey, you okay?" he asked softly. Olivia turned to him and gave him a false smile
"yeah, I'm fine."
"No your not, tell me whats wrong" he said kindly. Olivia shrugged
"it's just boy trouble, I'll be fine"
"You mean it's Elliot trouble." Olivia was silent for a moment before she nodded
"yeah, I broke up with him."
"You wanna tell me why?" even though he all ready knew.
"I, I saw him kiss Kathy and I said we should take a break, just for a year. Then we got into a huge fight and he said that it was a mistake to fall in love with me, so we broke up permanently."
"Olivia" Cragen began "Elliot should never have said that to you, but you guys were made for each other."
"I'm not gonna stay with a guy that said it was a mistake to be in love with me"
"he was angry Liv, you know that he would never say that and truly mean that."
"If some other guy had said that to me, would you tell me that I was made for him?" Cragen shrugged
"no, because your made to be with Elliot. Look, I've been both of you guys partners for eight years, and in that time I've seen the two of you fall in love with each other."
"But he kissed Kathy!"
"The way I heard it she kissed him." Olivia groaned a little annoyed,
"he just got divorced from the women he was married to for twenty years, he needs time to get over her, he-"
"he has Olivia. He has been over her since the first time you two met."
"Why are you doing this? we're partners, we're not supposed to be dating, your our captain, your supposed to be like telling us it's bad." Cragen shrugged
"what can I say I'm a more 'okay with rule breaking' captain then most." Olivia gave him a small grin
"yeah you are, but this is my choice, and if I want to break up with him then it's my choice."
"Yeah but you see you don't wanna break up with him though, your just saying that."
"Yes I do, look Don" she said softly "I appreciate your concern in this, but I can handle my own love life. Me breaking up with Elliot is not the worst thing that has ever happened to me."
"Yes it is" he thought to himself seeing the fake half smile on her face.
"Olivia, I love you like a daughter, and I want you to be completely honest with me. Do you honestly not love Elliot anymore? Look me in the eyes and tell me that you want to break up with him." Olivia opened her mouth then shut it again, unsure of what to say. About a minute of silence passed before she shrugged
"I don't know" she whispered on the verge of tears.
"Then you have to tell him that"
"I can't, e kissed Kathy, he told me it was a mistake to fall in love with me, he-"
"he loves you Olivia, and you love him. Now will you please stop being so god damn stubborn and talk to him?" Olivia was about to say something before her cell phone rang.
"Benson" she said softly turning her gaze away from Cragen. she was quiet for a few moments before she nodded
"all right I'll tell him, we're be right there" and then she hung up.
"Beverly wanted to talk to us, I gotta go get Elliot."
"He's on the roof" Cragen said a little disappointedly, he has wanted to hear Olivia say that she was still in love with him, but he knew that he couldn't force them together, even if they wanted to be together. Olivia gave him a weak smile before going back in the precinct and heading towards the elevator. She quickly rode it up to the op floor and got off, seeing Elliot lean against the side of the building, looking sad.
"Um, we have to go to Sing Sing, Beverly wants to talk to us" she said clearly uncomfortable by the situation. Elliot nodded before going in the elevator, completely ignoring Olivia.
"Olivia sighed silently, cursing herself for breaking up with him and for being so cold to him the last few hours. She walked over to the stair door and opened it.
"You coming?" Elliot said almost in a whisper holding the elevator doors open. Olivia turned back to him and they both stared at each other for a moment, wanting to say more.
"I'll take the stairs." Elliot shrugged before letting the doors closed. Olivia sighed sadly before going down the stairs. When she finally got to the ground floor Elliot was waiting for her.
"You ready to go?" he asked softly. Olivia shrugged then nodded. They both walked out and Munch and Fin looked after them.
"God, its so depressing. I mean it's like watching a scary movie or something, you know they should run outside but they go up the stairs, even though they also know they should run out the door." Munch nodded in agreement
"it's just like me and Karen, see we-"
"Will you shut up with that!"
In the car
Elliot and Olivia drove in complete uncomfortable silence as he drove to the prison. Both to afraid to even turn on the radio even though it would reduce the stress of making conversation. Olivia kept stealing glances over at Elliot who stared straight ahead at the road, not wanting to look at her. They finally got there and Elliot shut off the car and they both sat there for a moment. Olivia went for the car door and almost stepped out.
"So is this how it's going to be the rest of our partnership? Us not talking at all and getting in fights at the precinct?" Elliot asked, still not looking at her. Olivia sighed then turned to him
"I don't want it to be, but we broke up a few hours ago Elliot, it's not gonna be completely fine and dandy in just a few hours time." Elliot nodded
"I, I wanted to say I'm sorry. And I really mean it Olivia, I was a bastard to say that to you and had no right."
"Elliot I can't just forgive you that easily. I want to, but I can't. What you said really hurt me, hell that one statement probably hurt me more then what anyones ever said to me. I'm sorry, but this break up is" she was silent for a moment, not really wanting to say the next word but knowing she had to "permanent." She took one look on his face and felt her heart break in a million pieces. Eliot just looked ahead and nodded
"fine, so it's strictly business from here on out. I can deal with that." He quickly exited the car, practically slammed it shut then walked into the prison leaving Olivia sitting there alone, and she let a tear slide down her face.
"I want you back, I forgive you, I'm in love with you" she said softly to herself, wanting to say those exact words to Elliot , but she couldn't. She got out of the car and went into the building where Elliot was waiting for her.
"What cell is he in?" Olivia asked softly.
"3b, lets go" Elliot said not even looking at her and walking away.
Olivia said nothing and followed him into the cell where Beverly was pacing around nervously, his face turned away from them.
"what did you want to talk to us about Mr Leslie?" Elliot asked coming into the cell trying not to sound sad but in fact strict. Beverly turned to them and Olivia and Elliot's eyes got wide.
"What the hell happened to you?" Olivia asked a little surprised. His entire face was covered in bruises and cuts and his arms had deep, dark bruising on them.
"They put me in a cell with a pissed off, ugly homophobe, I can't stay there, you have to get me transfered" Beverly pleaded desperately
"We can't do that Mr Leslie, we could ask but I doubt it would do much good" Elliot said without sympathy. Olivia gave Elliot a strange look, they got prisoners transfered to different cells all the time without permission from anyone.
"Honey come on, you got connections, I know it, you know it, so why don't you use that cute little face to get me transfered to another cell" Beverly asked Elliot.
"Because you almost killed my partner, I frankly don't care if he makes you his bitch." Olivia gave him a scolding look before returning her look back to Beverly.
"Look, I can't stay in my cell with that guy, he'll kill me! please get me transfered" he pleaded.
"Well" Elliot said after a few moments of looking like he was considering it."Tell you what, you tel us what you did to Grace and Karen, and we'll let you switch. If not then you go back to your old one. Gee, what are you going to do?"
"Elliot can I talk to you a second?" Olivia asked hurriedly standing up before Beverly could reply. Elliot didn't say a word and followed her out of the cell. They walked away from the door, making sure Beverly couldn't hear them before Olivia turned to him angrily
"where the hell do you get off telling Beverly that unless he confesses he'll get beaten probably to death?"
"How else are we supposed to get him convicted?"
"the trial!" she yelled angrily at him "we have testimony from Grace and Karen, we-"
"we have no DNA evidence, he wore a ski mask and we questioned and arrested someone else for the crime before Beverly. We have nothing, and this is the only card we have to play. If this gets us the confession then why are you stopping me?"
"Because it's wrong Elliot, what if he doesn't want to confess? then what, we just let him get beat and killed? He may be a rapist but he doesn't deserve that" Elliot scoffed
"he doesn't deserve that? what did Karen deserved to get attacked? did Grace deserve to get raped? did you deserve to get shot and almost murdered?"
"So we let him get beat by some homophobe? I hate what he did just as much as you Elliot but it's not right to let him get beaten because of it" Olivia exclaimed angrily, surprised that Elliot could be acting this way
"If it makes him confess."
"I can't believe you!"
"yeah and I can't believe you."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"It means" he paused for a moment "it means nothing. I don't know why I said that, but we have to get a confession from him someway and hes too smart to just give it up." Olivia just shook her head
"I can't believe your going to do this, but I will have no part in it."
"Fine, then just stay here."
"Your acting like a real prick you know that right?" Olivia said angrily. Elliot just ignored her and walked back to Beverly's cell.
"Can you please get me out of here, I want a different cell please!" Beverly pleaded with Elliot.
"Tell me what you did to Grace and Karen and I'll consider it" he said siting down in one of the chairs. Olivia come back into the room, not saying a thing and leaned up against the wall. Elliot looked over at her then looked away from her glaring and disapproving look.
"Look, he beat me Mr Stabler, can you please transfer me!" he pleaded loudly.
"Tell me what you did to Grace and Karen, otherwise I'm not doing jack for you." Elliot tired to keep sympathy out of his voice. Beverly let a few tears but stayed silent.
"Guard, he's ready to go back to his cell" Elliot called out.
"No! please don't, I'll tell you all you need to know, just don't put me back there." Elliot tried his hardest to look smug but he couldn't help but feel Olivia's glare boring into him.
"I can't believe you" she said barely audible. Elliot looked over at her and saw the disappointment in her eyes and he quickly turned around.
"Where should I start?" Beverly asked sadly. Elliot took a deep breath and closed his eyes in despair.
"We're get you transfered to another cell, you don't need to confess" Elliot said disappointed. He turned back to Olivia who gave him half a smile before Elliot returned to Beverly.
"However" he said sitting back in his seat. "The DA's office ready to offer you a deal if you confess, come on Mr Leslie, we know you did it, you know you did it, hell you yourself said you did it. And just because you say you didn't shoot Detective Benson, means squat. We all saw you do it, in plain view, three feet in front of us. Why do you say you didn't do it?" Beverly shrugged then wiped away some tears.
"Honey I can't survive in prison, heck I couldn't even survive with one guy. I don't want to go to jail." Olivia came up to the two of them and took a seat next to Elliot.
"But if you go to trial, then I will testify you shot me, and you'll get even more time. But if you confess now, then I'll make sure that you don't get over twenty years."
"Twenty years? in twenty years I'll be able to get senior citizens discount. I'll still be sexy, but I'll be old." Olivia scoffed
"you raped someone, you attacked someone and put them in the hospital, and you shot a member of the NYPD. Twenty years is a blessing compared if you go to trial." Beverly looked down clearly torn between the two decisions.
"Beverly" Olivia said softly "you know it's the right thing to do, come on, you need to confess." Beverly looked at her and nodded"okay, I'll confess. I did it, I raped Grace, I attacked Karen and I shot you."
"I kind of figured that last part out myself, but why did you do it?" Elliot asked.
"I was angry, hell Karen Walker was the only girl I've ever liked, and thats saying a lot. Then she married that fat, rich, ugly Stan and left me in the dirt before I could tell her how I felt."
"I thought you were gay?"
"I am, but theres just something about Karen that I can't put my perfectly manicured foot on. But I was angry, so I raped Grace. I mean hell, I knew it would hurt her more to rape her best friend then it would to do that to Karen. Then I saw her a few days ago and I was even angrier, so I attacked her, but I knew I couldn't rape Karen even if I tried."
"Okay, why did you shoot detective Benson?"
"because I was angry, I knew I was going to jail and I didn't want to, so I just grabbed the gun and shot. I didn't know what I was doing. I'm sorry" Beverly said hanging his head. Olivia nodded then she and Elliot stood up
"all right, tomorrow at court you'll plead guilty and we're be sure to tell the ADA what you did." Beverly nodded then also stood up
"will you tell Karen that I'm sorry, and that she'll always be the one that got away. I mean, you can't forget the person you practically were in love with, even if they hardly want anything to do with you. I let her slip away and now" he let out a sad chuckle "this is what I get." Olivia and Eliot looked at him with sympathy, both screaming at each other to forgive the other one.
"guard, we're done here" Elliot said almost sadly. A guard unlocked the door and came over to Beverly and put him in handcuffs and began to lead him out.
"Wait a second" Elliot cried out. The guard turned to look at him
"transfer him to another cell, make sure it's someone who isn't in here for something violent." The guard nodded and Beverly gave Elliot a small smile and a wink before he got lead out of the cell.
"Thank you" Olivia said softly. Elliot turned to look at her and she had a small smile on her face.
"For what?"
"for not forcing him to confess, that was really big of you Elliot." He shrugged
"what can I say I'm a big guy" Olivia let out a small chuckle and then they both looked down and there was some uncomfortable silence in the cell before Elliot spoke.
"I gotta call Cragen and tell him we got a confession" Elliot said getting out his phone.
"That can wait, I need to talk to you about something" Olivia said gently placing a hand on his. He looked down at there hands then back up at her face.
"Elliot, I'm-" but she was interrupted by her cell phone ringing. She let out a small groan before she picked it up.
"Benson" she said still looking at Elliot.
"Oh, hi Adam" she said screaming at herself. Elliot rolled his eyes and sighed before he left the small cell, he had forgotten about her date tonight with Adam. He walked out to the car and about a minute later Olivia joined him.
"Elliot wait, I need to you" she said some what desperately.
"Go talk to Adam, he;s your boyfriend now" he said bitterly.
"No he's not, he's just a guy I'm going on a date with. But pleas,e you and me have to talk, I need to say something to you."
"No" he practically yelled turning around to face her. "I'm through talking, I told you I was sorry about what I said okay I told you I was sorry that Kathy kissed me even though that wasn't my fault. And you just won't forgive me, so why should I bother talking to you about it?" Olivia glared at him
"because, some stupid 'I'm sorry' isn't good enough. You really want to apologize? make a fool out of yourself, okay do something so stupid and idiotic that I know that your willing to do whatever it is to take me back, and I know that you didn't mean what you said about me. But two little words are not gonna change the fact that you said it was a mistake to fall in love with me. All right, make me believe that your sorry, okay prove to me that your in love with me. Because from where I'm standing it does not seem that way at all." Elliot and Olivia faced each other, both having looks of pain and anger on there faces, both too stupid to admit they were in love.
"It's almost time for your date, I'll see you tomorrow" he said going up to the street and hailing a cab.
"Fine!" Olivia shouted at him "be like that! I never loved you anyway!" she said with tears falling down her face. Elliot felt his heart shattered into a million pieces but he refused to let her see that. He just kept his mouth shut and got into the cab that pulled up to the curb and then he drove off. Olivia wiped away her tears and opened the car and slammed it shut. She let the tears come more quickly and then she began sobbing, knowing she lost the one man she truly loved.
I didn't want to waste a lot of time with the verdict and court case (you all knew he was guilty anyway) but, this story's coming to an end soon, and I would love to read some reviews for this chapter :)
