Sorry for the wait :(

Been busy lately.


Olivia came back from work at 9 om and saw Andy sitting on the couch talking to his mother.

"Mom, I can't...I have work all weekend...um Olivia has work too...sorry but, I can't make it...I know I haven't seen you in a year but, I can't get off of work...mom I got to go...love you too...bye." He hung up the phone and looked at Olivia.

"Hey," Andy greeted.

"Hi," Olivia replied. "Your mom?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Is everything okay?" Olivia questioned.

"They're having a family get together at my parents beach house for the fourth of july."

"You're not going?"

"No, I have work."

She nodded but, didn't believe him. "What's the real reason? We both know that you can get off of work whenever you want."

He sighed and cleared his throat. "She doesn't know that we broke up. She wants you to come too and I don't have the heart to tell her that we're not together anymore. I don't want to tell her what I did."

She nodded. She understood why he couldn't tell his mother that they broke up. When they broke up the first time, his mother was heart broken. Olivia and his mother were really close and she always thought Olivia as a daughter to her.

"We just finished our case and Cragen gave us the weekend off so I'll go. No one needs to know that we're not together for now," Olivia said, surprising him and herself.

"Why would you do that for me?" Andy asked.

"I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for your mom. I don't want to hurt her again."

"I don't want you to do this because you feel like you have to."

"I'm not. I want to do this for your mom, your family."

He looked away, feeling bad that she's being put in a situation where she has to go to her ex-boyfriends family's house and pretend to still be together.

"Are you going to be okay with this?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Listen, I'm really tired so I'm going to head to bed."

"Okay, goodnight."

"Night." She started on her way to the guestroom.

"Liv?" He called our before she left.

She turned around and waited for him to continue.

"Thanks," he said.

She smiled and nodded then went to bed.


Andy lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. All he could do was think about Olivia and how they would have to spend the whole weekend with his family. It was going to be especially hard on Olivia since she never had a real family, except for her mother and Simon. Her mother wasn't the best example of a family and Simon was hardly in the picture.

He stayed up and thought of what this weekend would bring them.


The next day...

Olivia was at lunch with Elliot since they both have the day and weekend off.

"So what's been going on lately? You seem kind of down."

She knew she woulde have to tell him about the break up eventually so now was a good time as any. "Andy and I broke up," she answered quietly.

"What? When?" he asked, shocked.

"The other day. We just decided that it would be better if we weren't together anymore."

Elliot wasn't buying her excuse. He knew her and Andy love each other and they wouldn't separate if it weren't for a good reason. "Liv, you can tell me the truth. What happened?"

She cleared her throat and looked down at her food. "He cheated on me," she whispered.

"What? You're kidding, right?"

"No, I went to his office and I saw a women kissing him. He admitted that they slept together once while him and I were still together."

"Who is she?"

"His ex-girlfriend."

"Liv, I'm so sorry. You don't deserve that."

"I just don't know how I'm going to deal with this weekend. His mother invited us up to their beach house for a family get together."

"Wait, why would she invite you up there when you two aren't even together?"

"She doesn't know. Um, she'll be heart broken. The first time we broke up, it really hurt her and I don't want to do that to her again."

"I'm sorry that you have to go through this."

"I'll be fine."

He sensed that she didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Well if you need to talk, I'm here."

She smiled. "I know."

They dropped the subject and finished their meal.


Olivia got home and saw Andy sitting on the couch talking to his mother. He was letting her know that him and Olivia would be able to make it his weekend.

Olivia went into the bedroom and changed into sweats and a tank top then walked back into the living room. She sat on the couch and waited for him to hang up the phone.

When he hung up, he looked up at her and sighed. "So we didn't get a chance to talk last night."

She shrugged. "We can talk now."

He nodded. "I know that there's no excuse for what I did and you are the last person to deserve that. I know that I hurt you and I don't blame you if you can't ever trust me again. I will regret this for the rest of my life because you are the only person that has ever taken all my love and trust. Having you in my life is way more than I could ever ask for. I'm sorry for putting you through this."

She wiped her eyes and looked at him. "I just hate myself for still wanting you after you hurt me so much."

He got up and sat next to her on the loveseat and rubbed her back, only to have her push his hand away. He doesn't get to comfort her when he was the one that hurt her.

"I still love you very much but, I can't be with someone that hurts me more than loves me." She stood up and walked into the bathroom for some privacy.

He sat on the couch and felt a tear coming down his eye. He just ruined the best thing he had ever had and he knew that he couldn't get her back.
