Second update! I know you guys hate me, but please bear with me.
Review!
Chapter 3
10 months later.
She learned to deal. She learned to forget. And she learned to love again. Yes, she was finally with a man she could let go with. David the new ADA. He was charming, handsome, funny and easy going. She's been with him for a month now, and she was happy.
Her and her partner Nick learned to tolerate each other and now were on good terms. They were even friends, and she was friends with Rollins too. Weird, but good.
She hasn't seen Elliot since that night. Even though she's been getting calls, and letters. But lately the calls has stopped. It was weird. She didn't know how much she looked forward to the messages until it was gone.
"You cooked for me? Thats so sweet." Liv smiled, emerging from the bedroom and finding a feast on the table. David was sitting with the newspaper already open but he closed it when he saw her.
"Anything for you." He kissed her and handed her her plate.
"Mmm, waffles and eggs? Is that your subtle way of telling me I'm to skinny?" Liv teased, placing her napkin on her lap.
"Yes." David looked at her seriously for a moment, then grinned.
"Well thanks a lot." Liv grinned, and she took a bite. "Your cooking never fails to amaze me."
"I try." David beamed and poured some more coffee.
"Whats on the agenda for today?" Liv asked stirring creme in her cup.
"A open rape case, and a child abuse case. You?" David asked, frowning slightly.
"One open case, as far as I know." Liv answered frowning too as she always did when she thought about her cases.
"Well lets enjoy ourselves until we have to leave. We have a hour at least." David spoke, smiling at her.
"What did you have in mind?" Liv asked cocking her head to the side, making her hair fall over one eye.
David swallowed "I uh.."
Liv grinned and got up, she went over to him and kissed him "Shh, lets not talk."
"Ok." David said, pulling her closer.
"Morning guys. What do we have today?" Liv asked walking in the prescient.
"Morning Liv. Nothing, yet. But our witness for the Amelia case is here." Nick told her.
"Really? Good. Lets go talk to her." Liv said shrugging out of her jacket and hanging it on her chair.
"After you, then." Nick said gesturing her to the room.
6:42 pm.
"Today was quiet, for once." Rollins commented as she looked through her paperwork.
"Too quiet." Liv told her looking through her files.
"Isn't it always weird to find the prescient so quiet after a busy day?" Nick asked looking around the quiet building.
"Ya." Liv agreed.
"Anyways I'm done. Any of you guys need a ride?" Rollins asked getting up and putting on her jacket.
"Nope, but thanks." Nick told her.
"Same." Liv said.
"Ok. See you tomorrow. Have a good night." Rollins said and headed out.
"Guess its just me and you huh?" Nick grinned.
"Yup." Liv smiled and focused on her work.
They worked for about a hour commenting from time to time about little things.
Until a delivery boy came in.
"Im looking for Olivia Benson?"
"This is she."
"I have a letter for you. Can you sign please?"
"Sure." After signing, he gave her the letter and left.
"Whose it from, Liv?" Nick asked watching her open it.
"A friend." Liv said, reading the words.
Liv.
This is going to be my last letter. I don't know if your even reading my letters or just tearing them into shreds. But I couldn't leave without saying goodbye. By the time you are reading this, I will be on a plane headed to California. I got a job there as head of security at a five star hotel. I already sent all my things, and I said my necessary goodbyes. But I couldn't border that plane without writing this to you. I couldn't. I came to see you one last time on April 14 but you were standing outside with a man and I didn't want to disturb you. Whoever he was, I hope he makes you happy. I could tell your were happy by the smile on your face. You deserve the best, Liv. I know I left you there alone. I know I broke your heart and trust, but I just wanted to say that I sincerely loved working with you for those 12 long years. You were my everything, Liv. My partner, best friend, the person that I trusted the most. Thank you for everything you've done for me, and I hope you have a happy long life.
Love always,
Elliot.
Liv looked up, and a single tear ran down her cheek and splashed on the page.
"Liv whats wrong?" Nick asked anxiously.
"Nothing, Nick. I have to go, see you tomorrow." Liv said wiping her cheeks. She got up threw her jacket on and left leaving Nick to look after her quizzically.
Liv closed the door behind her and threw her stuff on the counter. Taking the letter she pulled out her phone and sat down on her couch. She looked at the letter and than at the phone, debating. Should she call him? What would she say if she did? Oh hey Elliot I got your letter, and I just wanted to say that I'm sad you left. Even though I have no right to be.
No, that was bullshit. She didn't even have the right to feel this way. She was the one ignoring him. Hasn't she for the past 10 months? She had no right to call him and beg for him to come back.
Liv sighed, and opened the letter again.
She read the words, memorizing them, wiping her fingers against the letters. His handwriting was always neat. Dark, and bold. But never messy.
She broke down, missing him already.
Missing the man she never let go of. The man that was her everything to.
Elliot.
