It had been a week since Olivia walked away from Elliot that night in the alley and they still hadn't spoken. When they worked together they pretended that the other didn't even exist.

They both would go home, Olivia to an empty apartment, and Elliot to a house to a wife he no longer loved and 4 teenagers who refused to talk to anyone over 18.

Olivia would cry for hours until she slips into sleep wondering how things changed so fast. She never knew that he could hurt her so much.

Elliot on the other hand couldn't fall asleep. He would lay awake next to his wife wanting nothing more than to go and tell Olivia how much he loves her.

When you wake up wanting me

And you can't go back to sleep

Change your mind

He would lay their awake for hours and hours just staring at the phone. After 5 days went by all Elliot wanted to do was talk to her. He would pick up his phone and put it back on his nightstand throughout the night.

He didn't know what to do. He needed to talk to her but she obviously didn't want to talk to him at all. She made that pretty clear when she left him standing there. He walked out of his bedroom careful not to wake Kathy, cell phone in hand, and sat on the couch.

He couldn't get her out of his head. Her lips on his, the way she moaned when he sucked on her ear, the feeling of holding her in his arms. He was just so frustrated. He had screwed up big time and he had no clue how to fix it.

He put his cell phone on the table and put his head in his hands and did something he hasn't done in years. He cried. Elliot sat there crying like that until he had to get ready for work.

When you're weak and all alone

And you're reaching for your phone

Change your mind

Elliot sat at his desk paying no attention to what Cragen was saying about the company's new policies. All he could do was think about the night that Olivia walked away from him, their partnership, and how he fucked up his life even more.

He needed to talk to Olivia. She deserves to know how he feels about her.

After Cragen was done talking about the company's new policy he went back into his office and Fin and Munch went out to follow up on some new leads from their current case, leaving Elliot and Olivia alone in the squad room.

Elliot decided to break the silence that had been between them for the past week, "Liv," he half whispered half croaked.

"What," she snapped back still not looking up from typing on her computer.

"I… I just wanted to know if… um you wanted to talk… about last Friday night," he asked in a hopeful whisper.

Her response was immediate, "No" she spat. She still hadn't looked at him. Actually she hadn't looked him in the eye since last Friday night Elliot thought.

"We need to talk," he said getting up from his chair. She still hadn't looked up from her computer so when he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of her chair she was surprised.

"What the hell Elliot!" she yelled. As she was yelling he practically dragged her up to the cribs to talk.

When you look back and regret

The moment that you left

Change your mind

When they reached the cribs Elliot finally let go of her arm and blocked the door so she couldn't get out.

"God damn it Stabler! Let me through," she yelled trying to get past him. She eventually gave up and sat down on the closest bunk. She was still furious at Elliot for dragging her up here so when she spoke you could feel the venom in her voice, "Well? You wanted to talk so spit it out Stabler!"

He sighed feeling defeated and broke down from getting practically no sleep the past week. "I just… I just want to talk to you Liv," he said in a defeated voice.

"Well you kind of lost that right when you tried to get into my pants!" she said just as furious as before she stood up and began pacing.

"You know it was never like that Liv. Come on you had to know… I didn't plan on that happening Liv. We both were just too caught up in the moment and –"

"And you think that gave you the right to cheat on your wife! God El what were you thinking," she sighed. "Us… this," she said gesturing her hand between them, "It can't happen! Do you have any idea how much time I have spent trying to forget about what happened?"

"I don't want to forget," Elliot yelled, "I don't want to forget what it was like kissing you or touching you! I can't forget I remember every detail every night and I don't want to forget it!" he said walking in front of her to stop her from pacing.

Olivia was now sitting on the bunk again and Elliot kneeled in front of her. "Maybe you should forget El," she whispered. "I… I can't do this anymore this dance we do… it's just too much," she said standing up.

When my kiss is all you crave

Let it go

Cause I don't want to do that dance

The push and pull the second chance

I already know

"No Liv wait," he said stopping her. "I can't… you can't… we can't… I won't lose you again Liv." He said now holding on her shoulders.

"You can't give me anything El, you're still married. You have a wife and 4 kids to take care of. You can't lose them; they are your life El, your family. Don't give up your happy family for me… I won't let you," she said now with tears in her eyes.

You'll just promise me forever

And then you'll take it back, just like that

Then you will change your mind

"Liv… I-" he was cut off when Olivia said, "We can't keep doing this, we end up just hurting each other. I turned in my transfer papers 5 days ago. I'm transferring to California SVU, I'm leaving tomorrow night and I'm not coming back this time."

"We have said goodbye so many times it can't be the last time," he said desperately.

"No. This time it's for real. I put my apartment on the market and I am pretty much finished packing. I'm not coming back El," she whispered.

"Please don't leave we can work this out," he said begging now.

Cause I don't want to say goodbye all over again

So if you think you go the chance to make it right

Change your mind.

"I can't El. This is it. Whatever you are thinking," she said slipping out of his hold, "you should just change your mind." After that she turned and walked out of the door, out of the precinct, and back to her house to finish packing.

Leaving Elliot sitting there on the bunk with his head in his hands when he whispered to himself, "I can't Liv. I can't change my mind."

After that he practically sprinted out of the cribs and on to make the biggest decision of his life.

Ok what did you think… Loved it? Hated it? Please Review! I may just have another chapter in store for you guys :)
