A/N: thanks to everyone who reviewed! I really appreciate it! :)

Olivia was lying in bed she couldn't sleep, again. She looked at the clock 3:07AM.

Why was she letting this fight with Elliot get to her so much? They had fought in the past, but he had never yelled at her the way he did the other night. This fight... there was no reason for it, she hadn't done anything wrong but care about her partner. Maybe that was her problem… she thought… maybe I care too much. Why should I care so much about him? When he yells at me for no reason, after acting like an ass for weeks. Maybe I should request a new partner… It's not like he'd care, he's the one who suggested it. She felt a tear roll down her cheek.

Stop, don't do this, don't get upset about this, she said aloud. Trying to stop any more tears from falling. Maybe that was the reason this was bugging her so much, she thought to herself, maybe it was the fact that Elliot had been acting distant, and then mentioned a new partner. Was that what he really wanted? Was his problem with her?...

She was holding back tears now, could that really be it? She got up to get a glass ofwater from the kitchen.

She walked back into her room and yawned, she put her glass of water down next to her bed and lay down.

She stared up at the ceiling thinking about her and Elliot.

They'd been partners for so long, but they were so much more than that, they were friends, best friends. Or… they had been. She didn't like to admit it, but she needed him, he's the one person who she can always count on to be there for her… He's the only person she really had…

There was a knock at her door she jumped. She got up and headed to her door, grabbing her gun cautiously walking to the door.

"Who is it?" She questioned a bit confused. Who would be at her door at this hour? She thought.

"Liv, open up, it's Elliot" a voice said from the other side of the door.

What the hell is he doing here? She thought to herself.

She opened the door, "Elliot, what are doing here? Do you have any idea what time it is?"

He pushed passed her. "Liv, I haven't been able to stop thinking about what happened, I'm sorry I acted like such a jerk. I'm sorry I yelled at you, I was just…" his voice trailed off.

"What is it El? You know you can tell me anything, I can tell something's been bothering you, I'm worried" She said overwhelmed with concern.

"I haven't been honest with you Liv, for a long time" he said

"What do you mean? What are you talking about" she asked him

"I messed up bad, I did something… and I don't think we can ever be the same again"

"El, what is it?" she asked him touching his shoulder gently.

"I fell in love with my partner" he said gazing into her eyes.

Olivia just stood there, did he really just say that? She asked herself.

Elliot could tell she was surprised, "Liv, I love you, I have for so long" he said.

Olivia just stood there, she didn't know what to say, she just stared into his beautiful blue eyes.

He slowly leaned in towards her, and kissed her lips gently. He pulled back and looked at his partner who had a smile on her face. He smiled at her, but quickly her smile turned into a frown.

"Wait, what about Kathy?" she questioned

"Kathy doesn't matter, she won't get in the way of our love any longer, I promise." He said reassuringly.

A huge smile came over Olivia's face. He was just about to kiss her again, when suddenly they were interrupted by a loud noise.

Olivia's alarm clock.

Damn it! Just a dream.

If only… she said with a sigh.
