Olivia hit the alarm clock that went off the next morning. She rolled over to see the picture of them they took in Boston. She held the picture to think about the memories they had in Boston. The fact they said 'I love you'. Olivia never opened up that easily to people and she could clearly see why. The alarm clock went off again, she threw the picture onto the bed.

Olivia took a pretty quick shower to help clear her mind from what happened. She got out of the shower to brush her teeth. She looked down at her toothbrush to see Alex's toothbrush next to hers. Olivia's heart began to fall again as noticed her sink with Alex's toiletries. She couldn't believe the previous day Olivia was basically living with Alex. They were happy together. Now Olivia has a bunch of things that need to go into a box. She slid down on the floor to cry once again. Olivia didn't fight her tears, she let them go.

She was pissed at Alex, for not talking to her about the thought of her breaking up with her. She was heartbroken that Alex felt that was the best solution for them. She knew they needed to figure out what they were going to do eventually. Olivia thought about hearing Alex crying as she left the apartment knowing that Alex didn't want to break up with her. She knew that Alex completed her, and she hoped vice versa.

Olivia's phone went off. She walked to her phone to answer Eliiot. She took a deep breath, "Hello." She quickly stated.

"Hey I'm going to Dunkin. Do you want anything?" Elliot asked.

She continued to take a deep breath, "No, I'm good. I'll see you in a few." She hung up the phone to try to compose herself again. She couldn't linger in her room anymore without thinking about Alex.

Elliot watched Olivia arrived at the squad room a little late. "Are you alright?" He questioned his partner.

"Yeah," she sighed out, "Why?"

He examined her puffy eyes, "Because you look like hell."

Olivia scoffed out a smile as she fought her tears again, "I really don't want to talk about." she sat down in the chair.

"Are you sure? It might help whatever is going on." Elliot knew Olivia wasn't right.

"Elliot, I am doing what I can to be here. So please drop it." Liv pleads to her partner.

"Well, I'm here." He tried to comfort the distraught and closed off Olivia.

"Um no you two aren't. You are supposed to be in court." Cragen commanded.

Olivia forgot about court appearance she was supposed to make, "We were just leaving." She smiled to captain Cragen.

Alex was in front of the courthouse getting a coffee. She needed to keep herself awake. "Can we talk about one of the best dates happened this weekend." Alex heard her favorite southern twang behind her.

Alex turned to Abbie to give a warm greeting. "Yeah, how was this mystery date."

Abbie saw the bags under Alex's eyes and the lack of makeup, and the odd cup of coffee. "What happen?" Abbie didn't try to sugarcoat the question.

"I am an idiot that's what happen." Alex informed still totally regretting what she did.

"Well we know that sometimes." She chuckled trying to lighten the mood. "What did you do?"

"I broke up with her last night." She sighed out the distaste in her mouth.

Abbie's jaw dropped, "Well I didn't expect that coming. Why."

Alex couldn't answer the question. Her heart and body still say it was the wrong choice. "Because it was the right thing to do."

"For who?" Abbie not believing They entered the courthouse, as they saw Elliot and Olivia in the corridor.

"I don't know."

"Hey counselors." Elliot greeted with a smile. "Abbie it's been a while."

"Too long," She smiled. She didn't want to be apart of this awkward encounter. "Well good luck in court. Alex drinks tonight?" She offered to keep her mind off of things.

"Yeah, that will be great." Alex turned to Elliot and Olivia. "Well detectives, are you ready?" She avoided eye contact with Olivia.

Olivia could see Alex's night was just as crappy as hers. She wanted to comfort the sad eyes, but it wasn't her fault. "Are you ready?" She sassed, knowing if Alex isn't focused she doesn't do well in court.

Alex finally shot a look at Olivia. She wasn't happy that Olivia called her out, even though she deserved it. She now noticed the pain behind Olivia's expression. "I am completely ready to take on this case Detective Benson." She snapped.

Olivia rather have anger towards Alex than suffer from a broken heart. "I was making sure, all I want you to do is win." She smirked.

Their eyes were finally locked. "I appreciate your concern, but I know how to do my job."

Elliot looked at the girls. He could see the tension feeding off each other. "Okay," He spoke before Olivia could respond. "what time does this start." He stepped in between them to face Alex.

Alex looked at her watch, "In about ten minutes, shall we?"

"We will be right there." Elliot stated to Alex. She looked at Elliot and then Olivia. They watched her step onto the elevator. Elliot turned Olivia. "Okay you might want to talk about last night, but you need to cool in court."

Olivia looked Elliot, "El I'm fine and I'm a professional."
