Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

Olivia woke up at 1 a.m. and couldn't get back to sleep. She grabbed her phone and called Elliot.

"Elliot?"

He could hear her crying softly on the other line, and that broke his heart. "Yeah, I can't sleep either."

"Can you come over?" She hated asking him, but she needed him. She needed to see him, to hold him. "I know it's late, I just—need to talk." She continued to cry.

"Okay, be there in a bit."


And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find my ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world

Olivia heard a soft rap at the door. She looked out of the peep hole. Elliot stood there in jeans and a t-shirt. She opened the door and embraced him in a hug. She pulled him into the apartment. He picked her up and sat her on the couch, her face buried in his chest, sobbing quietly.

"Liv, I'm sorry. For saying those things—"

"No, you needed to say that, or rather I needed to hear it. The truth is, El, you were completely right. I was afraid of my feelings, afraid that they were betraying me. But I realized, it wasn't them betraying me, it was me betraying them." She threw her arms around his neck. "Elliot, I'm so scared, I could have died. I need you. Just hold me."

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

"I know Liv. You've been through a lot." He wrapped his arms around her waist as she laid her head on his chest and cried softly. She let go of his neck and buried her face in her hands.

After a minute or two of crying, Elliot tilted her chin up to look into her eyes, to look deep into her soul. He took his other hand and wiped away her tears. "I'll always be here for you. I promise I'll never leave you."

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell her it won't be long
Till she opens her eyes
Opens her eyes

"I know. I know." Liv whispered. They laid there in silence until they both drifted off to sleep.
