I just want to give a special thanks to Ms. Novak for being the only one that reviewed Chapter 7. This chapter is for you. (Yes, I know it's short but, I promise to update faster this time and make the next chapter longer, if i get more reviews).

Thanks betas! You guys are amazing :D

Olivia walked into work the next morning feeling refreshed from her weekend with Dean. After that fight they had a couple nights ago, she knew that they would be okay. He's finally showing her how it feels to be loved and to be put first, above everything else.

She sat at her desk, across from Elliot, as he handed her a cup of coffee. She nodded as a thank you.

"So how was your weekend?" Elliot questioned.

"It actually went very good. He showed me around his old town and we didn't argue, not once." She answered.

"Well I'm happy for you." He smiled.

"Thanks." She smiled back. "So do we have any new cases?"

"Twenty year old college student was attacked from behind and uniforms said that she thinks it's her ex-boyfriend." He read off his file.

"Let's go interview her." They both drove down to Hudson University. They knocked on the victims door and as it opened, they saw a severely bruised young girl.

"Hi…I'm Detective Benson, my partner Detective Stabler. We need to ask you some questions regarding your attack." Olivia hesitated.

"Come in. Have a seat." She led them in her dorm room and sat across from them.

"Nina, you said that you think it was your ex-boyfriend that did this." Elliot said.

Nina just nodded.

"And why do you think that?" Olivia asked.

"We got into a huge argument last night and I broke up with him. He said that he was the best thing that ever happened to me and said that I would regret it. Then he just left." She explained.

They asked her a couple more questions then headed back to the precinct. They filled the rest of their squad in on the case and Munch and Fin went to pick up her ex-boyfriend.

Olivia and Elliot went to interview some witnesses but, all they saw was a masked man on top of a girl. He got away before anyone could stop him.

Nina's ex-boyfriend sat across from Elliot and Olivia in the interrogation room.

"Are you going to tell me why I'm here?" Her ex-boyfriend, Ryan, asked.

"You didn't hear about what happened to Nina?" Olivia questioned.

He shook his head. "What's going on?"

"Nina was attacked and raped last night. She told us how you threatened her during your fight that same night." Elliot answered.

"Whoa, you think I did this? I was just mad, I would never hurt Nina." Ryan panicked.

"Where were you last night around 11 pm?" Olivia asked, not believing him.

"I was in my dorm room sleeping."

"Can anyone confirm that?"

"I was alone. My roommate went back home for the weekend and didn't make it back till two in the morning."

"How convenient? Your roommate was gone so you figured you can rape her and beat the hell out of her, then rush back to your room before your roommate showed up." Elliot fumed.

"I didn't do anything! I love her and I would never hurt her!" He yelled and stood up.

"Sit down!" Elliot yelled. Ryan looked at him, trying to hold his ground. "Now!"

Ryan hesitantly sat down and finished answering their questions until his lawyer came.

Ten o'clock that night...

Olivia got home and went straight to bed. It was a long day and the victim ended up recanting her statement. Olivia thinks that her Ryan threatened her as soon as he was let go. There was no way that her attacker didn't have a grudge against her. Her injuries were too severe for it to be a stranger.

Olivia kept trying to convince her to go through with it but, she Nina was too scared to listen. After hours of trying to convince her, the victim wanted to go home and move on with her life. Olivia felt hopeless since Nina would not listen to her. There was nothing more that she could do at that point.

Thanks for reading! BTW, this isn't the end for Nina. Review to see what happens :)
