(2 months later)

Elliot sat at his desk looking over a file for the 29th time. He was on edge, ever five seconds he would look up at the calendar that sat on his desk. He embraced the large red circle with the words. "Olivia comes back." Written in the middle, he got a tip that Olivia was coming back on this day and waited for this day to come. He counted down the days; he finally got his own apartment and moved out of Olivia's he couldn't bare to live there knowing when he got home at night she wouldn't be there.

He spoke to her once on the phone a few weeks after she left, he though back to that phone call, which still lingered in the back of him mind.


Elliot was sitting down on Olivia's couch watching Television. He was suppose to move into his new apartment tomorrow and was just trying to pass time. His phone rang in his pocket and when he took it out he didn't recognize the number.

"Hello?" Elliot asked after opening his phone.

"Hi Elliot." Olivia's sweet low voice rang threw the phone.

Elliot eyes widened, he didn't expect a phone call from her, and he had almost had a feeling that she forgotten about him.

"Olivia! Uh how are you?" Elliot asked nervously. He really didn't know what to say, it felt strange talking to her after she just up and left.

"Um I'm fine, just calling to let you know that things are going good. So how are you?" She asked a bit too comfortable.

"I'm doing well, Olivia, I need to talk to you." He said sternly.

"Oh, well can we talk later I have to go, so I will talk to you later bye." With that Olivia hung up the phone.

Elliot looked at him phone in disbelief; he didn't understand what was wrong with her. One minute things are good the next she is jumping on a phone and leaving.

Elliot sighed and leaned back in his chair. He was till confused about what was wrong with her, but he was going to find out as soon as he saw her. He looked down at his watch and noticed it was almost his time to get off; he was really curious what time she was coming back. He started getting his desk straightened when he heard his name being called. He looked up and saw the Capitan motioning him to come to his office. Elliot looked around and stood up and went into the office closing the door behind him.

"Yes." Elliot said crossing his arms, he was a bit nervous.

"Elliot, I wanted to talk to you about Olivia." The Capitan said sitting down. "Elliot, Olivia is not coming back for a while." He said apologetically. He knew Elliot cared for Olivia but he had to let him know she wasn't coming back.

"What? Why? Did something happen?" Elliot asked before the Capitan could answer.

"Look, its not my place to tell you things about her, but she wanted me to give you this. I got it this morning." The Capitan said handing Elliot an envelope.

Elliot looked it over and looked at the Capitan. "What is it?" He asked.

"Read it, and I will see you tomorrow." The Capitan said then dismissed Elliot.

Elliot went out into the office and took his phone out of his pocket. He dialed Olivia's number and waited. He listened as the phone continued to ring, each one making him more nervous. He heard a click but soon realized it was her voice mail. Elliot put him phone back in his pocket and grabbed his things and headed out of the door.

When he got to his apartment, he took the envelope out and sat on his couch. He looked it for a long time trying to figure what it was; finally he forced himself to open it. Inside was a letter, Elliot pulled it out and began to read, noticing how nice Olivia wrote.

Hey Elliot,

How are you? Strange how things change huh? Instead of my love or dear, its hey. Well, I'm sure you now know that I am not coming back. Well, as much as I would love to come and see you, I cant. I have things I need to figure out in my life and heart before I see you again. Elliot, you know I love you and always will, but I cant continue to live and breath with you, knowing that you have yet to figure out your feelings for Kathy.

I saw the hug; I saw the kiss in the front of your house.

Elliot thought for a moment a bit confused then remembered that night when Kathy kissed him when he was leaving the house. He shook his head, and then continued to read.

I saw the kiss in the interrogation room, I love you and you broke my heart after saying you wouldn't. I hope that things will all work out in the end. If its meant to be then it's meant to be. However, right now, I cant do this. I cant force myself to be with someone knowing that they still have feelings for someone else. I know she was your wife and you probably do still love her. I think we rushed things. I hope you will understand. But this is my goodbye letter. I don't know if I will be back. I hope we can always be friends. And I wish you the best of luck in your search for love.

From: Olivia.

Elliot sat with the letter in his hands. Going through the letter in his mind over and over again. He stood up and looked at the letter. Thinking about all that she said, about her not being able to be with him because of Kathy and all the other Bull shit. He felt sick. He felt rage.

He balled up the letter and walked into his bathroom. Taking out a lighter and lit the letter on fire. His eyes an ice blue, he now felt no emotion he felt no remorse. He was in pain and the pain was so bad that it forced him numb. He could feel, he could breath, he burnt the letter. Then dropping it in the toilet and watching it burn and turn black along with his heart.

"Fuck her." Was all that escaped his lips as he turned and headed out the bathroom, leaving the letter to burn just as his heart did.

(2 years later)

Elliot wrapped his arms around her small waist lightly kissing her on the neck. Making her giggle.

"Stop it Elly." The girl giggled turning around and kissing him lightly on the lips.

Elliot smiled at his girlfriend Amy. It had been 2 years since the day he burnt Olivia's letter. He hadn't hear anything about her since then. He forced her from his mind, although there were occasions where he would think of her, he would always force the thought away. He didn't to be reminded of the pain she caused him.

He was now dating an office clerk Amy, he met her at a bar a few months ago. Things were great and he was happy. He didn't know if he loved Amy but he did care for her greatly. She was a really nice person, although she was a bit annoying at times. But so was Kathy and he still loved her.

He hadn't heard from Kathy either. After the divorce was final and after he had to let her know it was over for the final time. She moved with her baby's father and last Elliot heard, they were thinking of getting married. Elliot was happy for her, at least her child will have a father.

Kathy having a baby got Elliot thinking about having his own. He wondered if Amy would like to a have a kid once they got married. He had a feeling that she didn't like kids though.

Elliot felt his phone vibrate and noticed it was his partner calling. He got a new partner after Olivia decided she wasn't going to come back for a while, his name is Mark Lawrence. He was a good cop, a little annoying at times but a good cop.

Elliot went in his room and laid in his bed, he heard footsteps and noticed Amy coming in the room and laying next to him.

"Elly?" She asked in a soft voice that sometimes irritated Elliot.

"Yes Baby?" He asked closing his eyes.

"Do you have to work tomorrow?" She asked looking up at him.

"Yea. Why?" He asked.

"I don't know just asking. Well, I am going to head home, ok?" She told him sitting up. She wanted him to ask her to stay the night.

"Ok, lock the door on your way out." Elliot said with is eyes still closed. He knew she wanted to stay but he was actually tired of her and wanted to be alone for a while.

"Umm bye." She said then got up and left.

The next day Elliot was on his way to the office, he had a strange feeling that something odd was going to happen but he didn't know what.

When he walked into the precinct he saw one person he thought he would never see. It was Mike Logan.

"Mike Logan?" Elliot said walking over to his desk and putting his stuff down.

"Hey." Mike said putting hand out.

"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked a bit curious.

"Umm I wanted to talk to you about Olivia." Mike asked a bit nervous.

Elliot looked at him for a minute, then got a bit upset remembering what happened the last time he heard about Olivia.

"I don't give a fuck about her." He said then sat down at his desk.

"Look, I know your pissed at her, but she is coming back." Mike said leaning over the table.

Elliot sighed for a minute then looked up at Mike. "How do you know?" He asked.

"Well, I talked to her and she told me." Mike said standing up straight.

Elliot stood up and narrowed his eyes at Mike. "Why you? I mean why the hell would she talk to you but not me?" He asked a bit pissed. Maybe Mike and Olivia got together.

"Well, she was hurt and she didn't want to face you, me and her are good friends." Mike said.

Elliot looked at him and crossed his arms. "Well why the hell would I care if she is coming back." He said obviously upset.

"Look Elliot don't be upset with her, you should go see her." Mike said.

Elliot shook his head. "No I cant. I moved on." He said.

Mike sighed. "Look I'm telling you, go talk to her, there is something you need to know. Before she leaved forever." Mike finished then left. Leaving Elliot standing there wondering.

"Leave forever?" Elliot thought to himself.
