Olivia got home from the bar 10 minutes ago and just laid on the couch thinking about what just happened with Elliot. She couldn't believe that he thinks he could just show up in her life again, after months without a word from him, and expect everything to be the same.
All of a sudden, there was a loud knock on the door. She thought it was Elliot until she heard her boyfriend's voice. "Olivia, open up."
She walked over and opened the door for her boyfriend. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I came to check on you since you left so upset."
"I wasn't upset. I was just tired," she replied, not sounding convincing at all.
"Yeah, ok. Then explain why Elliot came back in all upset as well?"
"I don't know, you'll have to ask him."
"Right. So what were you two talking about? I tried to go after you but, he insisted that he go."
She could hear that he was angry but, he tried not to show it. "Nothing really. We were just talking. There's no reason to get angry about it," she told him, hoping he would drop it.
No such luck. "Is there something I should be angry about?"
She sighed. "Like what Jake?"
"I don't know, you tell me."
"There's nothing going on between Elliot and I, if that's what you're implying," she answered then walked into her bedroom.
He followed her and stood by her door. "Well it looked pretty obvious to me that there is something going on."
"Are you being serious right now?"
"I'm not an idiot, Olivia. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that something is going on between you two," he raised his voice.
"So you don't trust me now?" she kept her voice down.
He sighed and shrugged. "I don't even know anymore. Ever since he came back, a lot of things have changed," he said and turned around to leave.
She grabbed his arm. "Don't leave. Please."
He turned around to face her. "I'll see you tomorrow." He released her grip from his arm and left.
Olivia sighed and sat on her bed. Elliot left without a warning and that's the same way he came back. She was not going to let him ruin her relationship with Jake.
The next morning...
Olivia walked into the squad room and realized she was the first one at work. She set her things on her desk and went to turn on the coffee machine.
Elliot, Munch, and Fin all strolled in a couple minutes later and started on their work. Nobody mentioned the events from last night.

An hour later...
They were all working in silence, especially Elliot and Olivia.
Olivia was at her desk trying trying to focus on her work but, she kept wondering why Jake hadn't showed up yet.
She got up and went to the locker room to call him in private. The phone kept ringing but, there was no answer. She tried two more times but got the same results.
Olivia walked back into the squad room and saw that he had just arrived. He didn't even bother looking at her. She didn't understand why he was so upset. It's not like she cheated on him.
The rest of the day was just a blur to Olivia. All she really remembers is doing paperwork Jake ignoring her all day. It was 9 pm and all Olivia wanted to do was go home and take a nice hot bath then head to bed. She walked into the locker room to grab her stuff and saw Elliot and Jake talking.
They both stopped talking as soon as she walked in. Elliot looked over at Jake. "See you tomorrow," he said then left.
Jake sat on the bench next to Olivia's locker as she put her coat on. "Sorry that we didn't have a chance to talk today."
She closed her locker and looked at him. "We did have a chance, you just didn't take it."
"I was angry. I didn't want to say anything that I would regret."
"Oh so you don't regret what you said to me last night? That there was something going on between Elliot and I."
"I'm just letting you know how I feel but, now I know better," he answered then stood up to leave.
"You're walking away?" She sighed.
"I don't want to argue right now ok? Call me when you want to talk." He left.
