1I own nothing. All goes to Dick Wolf. Please review!
Olivia walked out of the classroom with Elliot behind her. He gently took her arm and lead her to the wall so they could talk. Olivia leaned against the wall facing him. He mimicked he position.
"So, we're team captains?" Olivia asked him as students walked by. "Yeah, the couch does this thing where the oldest and the fourth oldest are team captains of one team. We're the second and third oldest which make us the other captains." Elliot explained.
"Who are the other captains?" Olivia asked. Elliot smirked. "Well, there's a sophomore named Jake. The one that's in our class is Kathy." Olivia was shocked. That blond girl who wanted a parking spot didn't look or act older than Elliot. "So, I heard you're new here." He said.
"Yeah, just transferred. I just needed a different school." Olivia explained only half of it. "Well, I'm glad you came here. You look like you could spike a volleyball." Elliot smirked. "You don't know the half of it. I'd like to stay and chat but I have English next and I really don't want to miss it." Olivia said.
"Well, I'll meet you there." Elliot said. He walked away. Olivia hurried to her locker. She was sure she was blushing so hard you could see it through her make up.
The rest of the morning went by smoothly. All of her classes were with Elliot. Even the afternoon ones. He actually asked her if she was stalking him in Biology class. She had to laugh. The teacher did not like the interruption, but left it as a warning.
The last class of the day. PhyEd. Olivia walked into the gym in her volleyball shorts and a hot pink T-shirt that said Bite Me across the chest. Elliot walked in with basketball shorts and a loose fitting gray T-shirt. He still looked good.
ELLIOT'S POV
Elliot had to remind himself to breath when he saw Olivia. She had short black shorts on and I tight fitting shirt that gave her attitude. He walked over to her. "Hey, Ms. Troublemaker." Elliot teased. "Whatever. You just had to wait until it would be dead silent in the room to ask me if I was stalking you." Olivia said smacking him arm.
Elliot laughed. "Whatever you say, Liv. What ever you say."
Just then, Kathy came over with a look of disgust. "Hey Elliot." Kathy said kissing his cheek. "Hey Kathy. How was your classes?" He asked. "They were okay." She spat. She glared at Olivia.
"Kathy, you remember Olivia from the parking lot this morning. She got in trouble today." Elliot said winking at Olivia. Kathy did NOT like that at all. "You set it up, you ass." Olivia chuckled. "What happened?" Kathy snarled.
"El, here, accused me of stalking him in the middle of the quietest moment in there. I accidently laughed to loud 'cause the teacher gave me a warning not to do it again." Olivia said.
Just then a whistle blew. "C'mon Liv, the game is about to start." Elliot said. "I'll race you to our team." Olivia challenged. "You're so on!" Elliot agreed. Elliot got into his running position as Olivia just started running.
"Hey!" Elliot laughed running after her. "You're a cheater." "No, I am not. We did not agree to any rules." Olivia said winning the race and laughing at Elliot run towards her. She moved out of the way to avoid the collision with his body. He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at her smiling.
"I'll get you next time, my pretty." Elliot said in the Wicked Witch voice and rubbed his hands together. Olivia laughed at him. A bunch of sophomores and freshman joined them. The game started.
Olivia had front center, while Elliot had back center. Elliot thought it was a great view of her butt. Kathy served the ball first, but got caught in the net. A kid named Sam from the freshman class served the ball.
Kathy bumped it right over the net. Olivia jumped up and spiked it down to the floor. The teacher clapped his hands and yelled. "Finally, someone other than Stabler can hit a ball!"
Olivia laughed and turned to Elliot. "I told you so." Elliot said grinning ear to ear. Pretty soon, it was Olivia's turn to serve. Elliot watched he right leg slide an inch forward as she dribbled the ball. She tossed it up, jumped forward, and hit it. Elliot watched in awe.
They ball went sailing and landed right in between everyone. Elliot looked at her and yelled. "Holy crap!" Olivia laughed as she caught the ball for her next serve. They game ended with Olivia still serving like a pro. The score was 25 to 3.
When it ended Elliot gave Olivia a double high five and ran around the gym cheering. "El, c'mon, school's over." Olivia chuckled. Elliot and the teacher came up to her together. "You're Benson, right?" Mr. Isaac asked. "Yep, name's Olivia." Olivia said.
"You know you're way around a volleyball court. Have you considered playing?" He asked. "Uh, my mom wouldn't allow it. She doesn't like me doing a lot of things." Olivia lied. She just didn't want her mom coming after her because volleyball costed money which was spent on alcohol.
"That's a shame. You'd be perfect for the team. We could probably go to state with you playing." He said. "Sorry, I'd like to, but my mom wouldn't be too happy with it." Olivia stated. "Well, talk to your mom at least. Those things look good on college applications." He said before leaving.
"Liv, you should do it. It'd be great for you." Elliot encouraged her. "Thanks El, but it just wouldn't go over with my mom." Olivia said before going down to the locker room.
Olivia walked out to her car and got in. There was a tap on her window. She turned to see Elliot. She opened her window. "Yes El?" She asked faking sweetness. Elliot chuckled. "Can I still come over tonight so you can help me with Spanish?"
"Yeah, just follow me." Olivia smiled. "Okay, see ya in a bit." He said before hitting the roof of the car and going around to his truck.
Elliot got into the truck, buckled up, and started following Olivia around the streets of Manhattan. He pulled up behind her when they got to her apartment. He got out and Olivia walked up to him.
"I'm just going to warn you for your own good. If you see my mom, don't listen to what she says. The way it usually goes is that she'll accuse you of trying to have your way with me. So, don't take it personally." She said looking worried.
"Don't worry. If she says that, I'll just say I'm not into girls." Elliot smirked. "Okay." Olivia chuckled. They walked up to the apartment. "Mom?" Olivia yelled. Hearing no response she physically relaxed in front of him. Elliot started becoming suspicious.
"We can go in my room. It smells less like dying creatures. You want a soda?" Olivia asked from the kitchen. "Uh, sure." Elliot said going into her room. He laughed at the grocery bags of clothes. He did the same thing.
Olivia came in just then with two sodas. "I didn't know which kind you wanted so I brought in two of my favorites." Olivia said setting the two glasses down. "What kinds?" Elliot asked. "One is a blue raspberry crush the other is an orange crush." Olivia said to him.
"I like both, you pick." Elliot said. "El, you're the guest go ahead." Olivia insisted. Elliot smirked. "Fine." He said as he took both glasses. He put half of the blue in the orange and half of the orange with the blue. "What are you doing?" Olivia shrieked.
"You said pick. Well I pick both. So there." Elliot said handing her one of the glasses before drinking his. "Not bad." He said. "Not bad at all." Olivia chuckled and sat down on her bed across from Elliot with his books in between them.
An hour later, they finished the work Elliot needed help on while talking about their pasts that weren't painful. Elliot put his bag on the floor while Olivia turned on the TV. She ordered Chinese for them to eat.
"Here you go El. I Love Lucy is on." Olivia said. Elliot shot up, jumped onto her bed, head closet to the foot of the bed, and stared at the TV. Olivia chuckled as she was bouncing up and down from his pounce.
An hour later, the food was gone. They were still watching Lucy when they heard a crash in the living room. Elliot shot up and blocked Olivia by instinct. "Don't worry El. It's my mom. Shit!" She whispered.
"Olivia, get out here and clean this up. RIGHT NOW! I mean it. Get out here now or you're going to get it." Her mother yelled. Elliot's blood boiled. Everything clicked. He mother was an alcoholic and took pain out on Olivia.
"I'm coming Mom." Olivia groaned. "Liv, I'm not letting you go out there." Elliot said. "El, I have to. It's better to go out there and deal with it than hide. Trust me." She said.
"Olivia Benson, who is in your room?" Her mother yelled. "Just a friend. He needed help with homework. It was late so we had take out. I'll be there in a minute." Olivia said before turning to Elliot. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Liv, I'm not leaving you here with her." Elliot protest grabbing her shoulder. Her face scrunched up in pain. "Liv, I didn't grab you that hard." He said lifting her sleeve. That's when he saw it. There was a very dark purple bruise on her shoulder. There was a cut about an inch away from it.
"Liv! Did she do this?" Elliot asked almost choking up himself when he saw a tear leave her eye. "It doesn't matter." She whispered. "Like hell it doesn't Liv. Did she do this?" He asked again right before Olivia's mother slammed the door open.
