Thanks for all the amazing reviews! You guys are all so incredible!


Olivia walked up to the cribs to try to get some sleep. She layed in one of the cots and stared up at the top bunk. Who was she kidding? She wouldn't be able to sleep because Elliot occupied her mind.

That was nothing new. He was always on her mind. He's the reason she had so many sleepless nights, including tonight.

Elliot walked into the cribs, not knowing Olivia was up there. He wanted to get some rest, but probably won't for the same reasons Olivia can't. She was on his mind.

He looked at Olivia laying in the cot and walked to his locker, completely ignoring her presence. He opened it and put away his gun and badge then sat on the cot next to Olivia. He pulled out his phone to call Kathy.

"Hey Kath, I just wanted to let you know that I'm staying here until the storm lets up...are all the kids home?...ok good...ok I love you too...bye." He hung up and saw Olivia looking at him. She quickly turned away as soon as he saw her.

She turned her body so that she was facing away from Elliot and to the wall. She didn't have enough energy to argue with him right now.

He stared at her as she turned away and sighed. He was so tired of fighting with his best friend. "How long do you think we'll be stuck here?" Elliot asked, trying to make conversation.

"Don't worry, you'll be back home with your family before you know it," she whispered. She had no one to go home to. He did.

He sighed. "It might not be that bad. We're only around each other when we have to work. Maybe it'll be a good time to catch up."

"There's nothing to catch up on."

She wasn't going to make this easy for him. He was an asshole to her and she won't just forgive him that easily. He doesn't deserve her forgiveness. He doesn't deserve anything from her.

He layed down and faced her, although her back was facing him. "You still mad at me?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"You're an ass," she replied.

"We're best friends."

"Best friends don't treat each other like we do."

"Liv, look at me."

"I'm tired, just leave me alone."

He nodded. "Ok, night."

She sighed and shook her head. If he was really her best friend, he would have pushed her to talk to him. He would have pushed her to forgive him. He used to do that, but they weren't the same people as they were before.


Olivia woke up in the middle of the night and looked around. She was in the cribs with Munch, Fin, Cragen, and Elliot all on different cots. She looked at her phone and saw that it was only 4 am. She flung the blankets over and quietly went over to her locker and grabbed the sweater that's been in there for a year. She walked down to the squadroom and sat at her desk.

She figured she would get some work done while they were still stuck there.

10 minutes later...

Elliot woke up and saw everyone sleeping except for Olivia. He walked downstairs and saw her with her nose in a file.

"Hey. Why are you up so early?" he whispered and sat across from her at his desk.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"I woke up and saw that you weren't sleeping. Came to look for you," he replied.

She nodded and went back to reading her file.

"Nice sweater." She was wearing his grey sweater that she stole from him one night. They stayed at work really late and she started feeling cold so she stole it from his locker. He didn't mind. She looked better in it than he did.

"It looks better on you than it does on me," he said, trying to get her to smile. No such luck.

She just ignored him.

"I'm going to make some coffee. Want some?" he tried again.

"No," she answered.

He cleared his throat and got up to make some coffee. He made two cups and set one on her desk and the other on his desk. He sat down as she eyed the coffee.

"I told you I don't want any," she told him.

"Liv, I'm trying here. I don't know what you want from me."

"I don't want anything from you.I don't expect anything from you."


Another really short chapter, I know. I promise the next one will be longer.

Leave lots of reviews! :D
