"Get your ass over here NOW" Olivia screamed into the phone before slamming it down on the dining room table and made her way up to Alex's bedroom. She took a deep breath before knocking on the door. The second they had made it home Alex had made a bee line for her room and refused to open the door for her so far. She had already delivered two well placed holes in the living room and one right next to Alex's door when she told her to leave.

"Alex please open the door for me." Olivia pleaded to a closed and locked door. When they first arrived home, Alex had slammed the door in her face and locked it. She was tempted to break it down and had stepped back ready to deliver the kick needed when Ramirez stopped her. After a brief scuffle between the two of them Olivia finally relented and saw his point of view.

"Olivia I want you to leave." Alex said taking a deep breath knowing the next words to come out of her mouth was going to kill her "It is best like this. I realized tonight that you aren't the woman for me. Please call Stabler and have him come and get you. I want you out of my house now."

"Alex" Olivia said taking a deep breath "I refuse to leave. Now open the door."

"Get out before I call the cops." Alex ordered in what she hoped was a steady voice as she frantically wiped the tears falling from her face away.

"Sweetheart" Olivia said finally giving in and shouldering the door open "I am the cops and I'm not leaving. Now I have no clue what she said to you or what she threatened you with but its just an idle threat."

"GET OUT" Alex screamed as she smacked Olivia across the face.

"You heard her" A voice whispered into her ear as arms wrapped around her waist and began to pull her backwards away from Alex.

Olivia dropped her center mass and grabbed the arms that was around her waist. She quickly bent at the waist and flipped the body over her shoulder and onto their back twisting their arm as they fell.

"Keep your hands off me Elliot."

Elliot quickly swept her feet out from under her and flipped her on her stomach. Without thinking twice he pulled both her arms behind her back and applied his cuffs. He hoped that quickly detaining her would get her listen to reason.

"Liv I have no clue what has happened but right now she is terrified of you and I will not let you get any closer. She wants you out of her house and you will follow her orders."

"Screw you." Olivia growled through clenched teeth as she bucked up kicking Elliot off her. She rolled over on her back and delivered two quick but strong kicks to Elliot's midsection causing him to stumble back. She used the temporary break to slip the cuffs to her front and jumped to her feet.

"Damn it" Elliot said winded forgetting how strong Olivia actually was despite what her size implied.

"STOP IT STOP IT" Alex screamed catching both of the detective attention causing both of them to stop in their tracks "I want you out of here Olivia. Please don't fight me on this and just do as I ask.'

"Alex"

"Don't Alex me just do it please."

"ok" Olivia almost whispered as she dropped her head in defeat "I will. Elliot please take these cuffs off so I can pack my clothes."

Elliot took a cautionary step forward half expecting this to be a plot from Olivia to break free. When he saw the hurt and defeat in her eyes he knew the fight was gone and quickly removed her handcuffs.

"Go get your stuff and I will take you to my house." He stated taking a step back giving her the room he knew she needed.

"No need Elliot" Olivia said turning quick so no one would see the tears forming in her eyes "I'll go home I have inconvenienced everyone enough."

"Alex what the hell happened?" Elliot asked turning to face the attorney once he knew that Olivia was out of ear shot. "Did Olivia cause that mark on your face?"

"What? No." Alex said shaking her head as she wrapped her arms around her as if to protect herself "Jess showed up at the restaurant."

"She what?" Elliot asked not sure he was hearing Alex right.

"Jess showed up in the restaurant bathroom and smacked me before she threw me into the wall. Olivia would never hurt me."

"Then why are you kicking Olivia out?" Stabler asked truly confused.

"She threatened her Elliot" Alex choked out as she finally looked up at him as the tears poured out of her eyes "She said she would slowly torture her and be successful in killing her this time. She couldn't wait to see me at her grave."

"I'm lost Alex, how the hell does that equal throwing Olivia out? By making Liv leave you're giving her the control she wants. Do you not realize that?"

"Elliot I don't care if I'm not with her in any way she is safe. She deserves someone who she shouldn't have to worry if she makes a wrong move it will send them into a flashback or someone who doesn't put her life in jeopardy just by being with her."

"Really?" He asked starting to get pissed with Alex "Just who the hell would that be?"

"Stacia."

"Stacia you want her to be with Stacia?"

"It's for the best."

"Don't you think if I wanted to be with her I would be with her?" Olivia asked from the door way having overheard their conversation "Alex I don't want her. I want you."

"Olivia she's best for you."

"So now you know what's best for me" Olivia said taking deep breaths to control her anger to not scare Alex anymore than what she already was "I'm glad you do. Alex I don't care if you have flash backs. We will work through them. I don't care if that bitch threatens me and wants to come after me. Actually that is what I want."

"Have you lost your mind?" Alex asked glaring at her with cold steel blue eyes. "She could kill you?"

"If she is after me then that means she has to leave you alone. You are safe. I want you safe and I want you happy. If I can't do the latter I will make damn sure I can do the former. I promise you that." Olivia said as she turned and faced Elliot "Will you give me a ride?"

Elliot looked from Olivia to Alex and then back to Olivia. He really wanted to turn and give Alex one hell of an ass chewing but knew better. In all honesty he wasn't sure how much more of a beating his body could take. He figured the safest thing he could do was to take Olivia where ever she wanted to go and then come back and give her one hell of an ass chewing screw the outcome. Boy was she going to get an earful.

"Where to?" Elliot asked as he started to reach for Olivia's suitcase but stopped when she shook her head.

"My apartment" Olivia said as she locked eyes with Alex "Thank you for everything you have done for me. I know you said it wasn't necessary but I will repay you everything."

"Come on" Elliot said leading Olivia from the bedroom and out of the apartment. Maybe once he got Olivia settled he would come back and try to knock some sense into Alex.
