Last time:

Olivia emerged from her bedroom an hour later dressed in grey sweat pants and a long, baggy grey t-shirt to see her mother sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee.

"Hey Liv. Why are your friends camping outside our front door?"

"They're still out there?" Olivia asked as she grabbed herself a cup of coffee.

"Yeah, they are. What's going on, Olivia?"

Olivia sat down on the couch beside her mother and rested her head in her hands. "What's the point in having friends? They only end up stabbing you in the back...I'm going in my room to study."

"Olivia?!"

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Olivia turned around and Serena saw pure anger in her daughter's deep mocha eyes for the very first time.

"You just don't get it, Mom." She seethed angrily before going in to her bedroom, locking the door behind her.

She wasn't angry at her mother, she was just sick and tired of being hurt and betrayed.

Olivia got changed and grabbed her purse before leaving the apartment in a rush, ignoring her mother's calls.

Alex, Casey and Elliot were still sitting outside the apartment door.

"Olivia." The three of them said in unison when they saw her exit the apartment.

"Just back the hell off." She spoke angrily before rushing down the stairs.

The three of them stood there in shock. Olivia had never spoken to them like that before.

Olivia walked in to the diner and sat down in a booth at the back.

There was a man sitting at another table and thought she looked upset and lonely so he walked up to her, sitting opposite.

"Hi." He greeted her with a smile.

Olivia looked up, shyly. "Hi."

'Gosh, his is so hot.' She thought to herself.

"I'm Andy Eckerson." He said and put out his hand.

Olivia shook it. "I'm Olivia Benson."

"Nice to meet you, Olivia."

"Nice to meet you too."

Andy and Olivia spent the next two hours talking. They were completely oblivious that Elliot, Alex and Casey were watching them.

"You want to come back to my apartment?" Andy asked, all of a sudden.

Olivia didn't feel like going home so she nodded. "Sure."

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

The next morning Olivia was jogging through Central Park with Andy when they bumped in to Alex and Elliot.

"Hi Liv, can I please talk to you alone?" Alex asked cautiously.

Olivia sighed and thought for a moment. "Ok. Hang on a second, Andy." She said and gave him a kiss before walking a few feet away with Alex.

"What do you want, Alex?" Olivia asked harshly.

Alex ran a shaky hand through her long, soft, blonde hair. "I didn't tell Elliot what college you were attending. I had nothing to do with it. I didn't even know till Casey told me." She explained.

"Why were you with Elliot and Casey outside my apartment door last night then?" Olivia asked with her hands on her hips.

"I came later. To see if you were alright because your mom called me and asked me to check on ya." Alex spoke softly.

Olivia wiped away some rebellious tears. "I don't know if I can forgive him. So everyone just needs to back off. Please."

Alex nodded. "Ok, Liv. I understand."

Olivia slightly smiled and was about to speak but was disturbed by Elliot and Andy having a full on 'punch up'.

She and Alex ran over to the two men, to break up the fight.

"Stop! Stop!" Olivia yelled and got in between them.

Elliot went to punch Andy but ended up punching Olivia twice, really quickly.

One to her nose and the other to her left eye.

"Ow! You bastard!" She yelped in pain, causing Elliot to stop and realize what he had just done.

Olivia held her nose to try stop the blood flow.

"I'm so sorry, Liv." Elliot apologized and went to help her but she pushed him away.

"Don't. Touch. Me." She seethed in anger.

"Come here, Liv. I'll help you." Andy said before he and Alex guided her out of Central Park, leaving Elliot there feeling bad for what he did to Olivia and angry at Andy.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Alex and Andy helped Olivia in to her apartment, where they found Serena sitting on the couch worrying about her daughter.

She looked up to see her only child being guided in to the apartment with a bloody nose and a red swollen left eye.

"Baby, what happened?" Serena asked in concern as she got up and rushed to her daughter. "Thanks. I'll take it from here, Alexandra." Serena spoke kindly.

Alex nodded. "Ok, Ms. Benson. I'll see you later, Liv."

"Bye Liv."

"Thanks. Bye Al. Bye Andy." Olivia replied, still holding her nose.

As Serena helped Olivia in the bathroom. Once Olivia's nose stopped bleeding, Serena was determined to find out who hurt her daughter.

"Honey who hit you?" Serena asked as she wiped away the dry blood.

Olivia shook her head. "No one. I fell over." She lied through her pearly white teeth, hoping her mother wouldn't pick up on it.

Serena took her daughter's face in her hands and looked in to her deep mocha eyes. "Olivia, who hurt you, baby?"

Olivia sighed. "It was Elliot." She replied in an almost inaudiable whisper.

"Oh honey." Serena cooed and gave Olivia a hug.

"I'm going to go lie down."

Serena nodded and gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek.

Olivia walked in to her bedroom and closed the door behind her before taking off her running shoes and lying down.

There was a knock at the door. Serena answered it to find Elliot.

She folded her arms on her chest. "Do you get off on hitting women, Elliot?"

"No of course not, Ms. Benson. I didn't mean to hurt Olivia." He tried to apologize. "Can I please see her to apologize?"

"No." Serena answered simply and angrily before slamming the door in his face.
