Here we go, another chapter after a long wait (Sorry ). I really hope you all are still with me and I would love to hear what you have to say. Once again, so sorry for taking forever to update. Life has just been so stressful. Any who, here it is…
Olivia was sitting at her desk working while the guys were talking. She didn't want to have anything to do with them so she kept herself busy with her paperwork. Olivia and Jake hadn't yet talked after their fight and neither did she and Elliot. It seemed like there were so many problems going with her two most important relationships.
Jake walked up to Olivia. "Do you want to go grab lunch or something? Maybe talk?" he whispered.
She looked up and shrugged. "I guess so."
They grabbed their coats and then went to a nearby diner. They got their foods and started eating in silence until Jake spoke up. "So about last night, I'm sorry I left. I just want to know the truth about you and Elliot."
She looked up and nodded. "Fair enough. Well Elliot and I have a…we have a complicated relationship. We've been partners for twelve years and we instantly became best friends. We both get each other like no one else did, not even his wife or kids. We've had our ups and downs but, we always had this bond that was unbreakable. So when he left a few months ago without telling me, I just felt like the past twelve years with him were worthless. I don't blame him for leaving…I just…I needed him and he never contacted me or let me know he was leaving so it hurt. It hurt really badly."
"So you guys were only friends? Nothing more?"
She shook her head and looked down. "He's married with five children, there was no room for me in his personal life."
He was shocked at how truthful she was. "He's divorced now."
She looked up quickly. "Really? When did they divorce?"
"About a month ago, separated for three months."
She was about to say something when her phone started ringing. She answered and Fin told them they had a lead.
"We have to go back, got a lead."
Jake dropped money on the table and they headed back to the precinct.
It was 7 pm when they were all free to go home. Olivia was in the locker room getting ready to leave when Jake walked in.
"Hey you need a lift home?" he asked.
"Sure. We need to talk about some things."
"Yeah I think so too," he agreed.
The ride home was silent because they were both thinking the same thing. Their relationship wasn't going to work if Elliot was going to stay in the picture.
They got to her apartment and settled on the couch next to each other.
"Do you want to start or do you want me to start?" Olivia asked.
"Go ahead."
"Ok well I just want to start off with telling you that you have been amazing and you've put up with a lot of my shit over the past two months. I just…I don't know if we can-"
"Liv, I know what you're going to say. I want you to be happy and I know there is definitely something with you and Elliot. I can feel that you two have feelings for each other and I don't want you to be with me because you couldn't be with him. You've been amazing too and I just want you to do whatever is going to make you happy. I think that the only way you can be happy is if you were with Elliot," he said, showing no anger in his voice.
"I didn't think you would be so understanding about this."
"I just want you to be happy, that's all."
She smiled and kissed him. "Thanks for caring about my happiness and just for everything. It was never my intention to lead you on or hurt you-"
"I know and that's what makes this a mutual breakup. We can both still care for each other and not be together."
She nodded. "I'd like that because I still do care about you but, this thing with Elliot is where my heart is."
He smiled and nodded. "I understand." He kissed her one last time and stood up. "Goodbye Liv."
Review wonderful people!
