Elliot was driving down the highway. He was headed for a vacation house that he had from a while back that he always wanted to take his family to but never got around to it. Sometimes he dreamed about taking Olivia there for a weekend. He knew she was going to be mad at him but he didn't care.

I can't be without her. She just can't see that I don't want to be just her partner at work. I want her, all of her. He thought as he drove. I feel bad leaving without saying goodbye but I just knew if I had to look her in those big brown eyes that I would forget everything that needs to be said.

Elliot pulled into the driveway of the vacation house. It was along the beach and had a perfect view of the ocean. He realized he had no food in the house since he was never there but he decided to just go to sleep for the night without eating anything and that he wasn't that hungry anyway.

Elliot tried to relax his muscles as he lay in the bed but he couldn't get the image of Olivia out of his head. He kept imagining her going through his apartment and finding the note he had left for her to find. He knew her too well and knew that she would use her badge and then her key to get in.

Meanwhile, Olivia's sobs had subsided and she began to walk around the apartment. She hadn't noticed the amazing view of the city he had when she was helping him move in. She began to look through his room and found a framed picture of the two of them at a squad party. She told everyone that she didn't like the picture but had once confided in Elliot that it was her favorite.

Partially, she was searching for something that would help her find him but partially she was searching for something that would entirely prove to her that he was in love with her. After several minutes of looking she found nothing. She laid down on his bed and hugged a pillow that smelled just like him and slowly drifted to sleep.

When she awoke in the morning she was frightened when she didn't know where she was. She immediately remembered and collapsed back onto the bed. She glanced at the clock and noticed it was 6:30. She looked over at the drawers that she had left open. She noticed that one of them was still closed and decided that she probably forgot about it and decided to open it. Inside was a sweatshirt and a piece of paper showing a lease for a vacation home and the address. She lifted the sweatshirt and found another piece of paper. This one was hand written : Remember to take Liv to vacation house. She'll love the view and the beach.

Olivia realized where he had gone. She immediately drove home to shower and change. She called Cragen and told him that she wasn't feeling well and that she wouldn't be in. She wasn't sure if he believed her after last night but he granted her request anyway. She went to the coffee shop and got her usual before she started out on the highway.

Elliot awoke after a restless night of sleep. He still felt just as tired as he had the night before. He glanced at the clock and saw that it was seven. He got up and took a cold shower before deciding that he should go and get food. He drove around the small town and found a small family market that had the basic essentials that he would need for the next week. He found a small liquor store and made a note to himself to go back and get some champagne as a way to apologize to Olivia.

He knew that some fancy champagne wouldn't make Olivia forgive him but he knew it couldn't hurt. He sat on the couch trying to figure out what he would say to her when he went home. He knew that she would be angry no matter what he said but he had to say something. He had to tell her everything and anything that he was thinking.

Before he knew it a half an hour had gone by and he was still sitting in the same position just staring and thinking. He decided that he had to get home and talk to Olivia. He realized that he wasn't going to get anywhere unless he was looking at her face to face. He went back to the liquor store and bought the best champagne they had. He headed home on the highway.

Olivia was driving for what seemed like an eternity. She couldn't stop thinking about Elliot and how he thought about her. She turned the radio on after the silence of the car overwhelmed her and caused more thoughts to roam free in her head. After a couple of minutes with the radio on, she decided that the noise was just irritating her and decided to turn it off. After about an hour she showed up at the vacation house and was amazed by the view.

She turned her attention to the driveway and was disappointed to see that his car wasn't in the driveway. She walked around to the back and looked at the view of the ocean. She couldn't believe how amazing it was. She decided to wait to see if he would come home and sat on a rock on the ocean.

She was sitting there for about an hour when she heard her phone ringing from the car. She ran to it but it stopped ringing before she got to it. She looked and noticed that she had ten missed calls all from Cragen. She assumed that he needed her help on a case and called him back.

"Cragen"

"Hey Captain. It's Olivia. Sorry I didn't answer I couldn't hear the phone ringing from where I was. What's up?"

"Liv, are you sitting down?"

"No, why?"

"I think I want you to sit before I tell you this, Olivia."

"Ok, I'm sitting" she said as she sat in the driver's side of the car.

"Ok, now I don't want you to panic. We don't have all of the details yet but I need to tell you that Elliot's been in a car accident."he said cautiously.

"How bad is it?"she asked tearfully.

"Olivia, I'd really rather not discuss-"

"Tell me how serious it is!" she yelled into the phone as she sobbed.

"They're not sure if he's going to make it through the night, Olivia."

With that, she hung up the phone and sobbed violently. She knew she shouldn't drive but did anyway. She wasn't going to miss his possible last moments because of things she shouldn't do.
