A/N: so sorry it's been so long since I updated. won't make excuses, but here is the next chapter, it's really short.. sorry! but I've already got the next chapter all ready (just needs to be typed up).. I was going to combine them.. but figured they'd be better separate. I'll post a bit of what happened in the previous chapter, since it's been so long! again thank you to everyone who reviews and reads it! hope you don't hate me for not updating! in this.. I used their different perspectives on the same situation, marked it by using their names.. I think it's pretty clear (I hope)! if you have any questions feel free to ask! tried to make it as clear as possible!

"Liv, you are the best." He said staring into her brown eyes.

He glanced down at her lips, then back into her eyes, he gently brushed a piece of hair out of her face and slowly leaned in towards her.

Is this really happening? She thought as she felt his lips press gently against hers.

Quickly, realizing what was happening she tore away from him before the gentle kiss turned into anything more serious. She was afraid that if she didn't stop herself now, she wouldn't be able to do so.

I can't do this, not like this, he doesn't want me… he's just upset.. and drunk, he's just seeking some sort of comfort, and I just happen to be a convenient source. she thought to herself as she was tearing herself away from Elliot's amazingly soft lips.

Elliot looked at her, noticing the look of horror on her face.

"Oh god, Olivia, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I… I didn't mean to… I mean… I don't… you're just my… I would never…" Elliot stuttered not able to complete a thought.

Olivia instantly knew what he was trying to get out, exactly what she had always known… It hurt more to hear him say it, or attempt to say it, than she thought it would.

"I, uh, I think I should go." Olivia said

Before Elliot could say anything she was out the door.

Olivia

Olivia ran down the stairs, practically sprinting to her car. She quickly opened her car door and rested her head against the steering wheel.

What just happened? Did Elliot really just kiss me… what's going to happen next.. does he… she put her face in her hands and shook her head.

No Olivia he doesn't want you, he made that perfectly clear, he just had too much to drink was upset… and just needed someone, it could have been anyone… right? … oh god… she thought to herself before starting her car and driving off.

Elliot

Elliot watched as Olivia fled from his apartment slamming the door shut on the way out.

What the hell did I just do? Elliot thought to himself, still standing where she had left him.

Why did I kiss Olivia?... She's nothing but great to me, and what do I do? Freak her out by kissing her. I mean she looked horrified… why the hell did I kiss her? She's my best friend, my partner, I don't.. I mean I couldn't… it's Liv, no way. He thought shaking his dead at the idea. He couldn't have feelings for Olivia, he just couldn't.

He walked into his room and layed down staring at the ceiling trying to grasp the reality of what had just happened.
