After a long, hard week Amanda couldn't wait to get out of the precinct, heading over to the next bar and allowing herself to get some drinks. She grabbed her leather jacket and briefcase and walked out of the Squad Room. She saw the elevator doors closing and sprinted forward to get a hand between the doors. She slipped inside the Elevator, leaned herself at the walls and had her eyes closed. "You in a hurry, Rollins" the words entered Amanda's ears. She knew the voice very well and slowly opened her eyes who met the Hazelnut ones of Olivia. "Being honest, I am dying to get out of here for some days! Latest case had been really tough and I need to get rid of these pictures in my head!" Amanda answered honestly. The surprised look in Olivia's face made her realize that she maybe had said a little too much too early. Her cheeks turned red again and she looked shyly down to her feet. "Mind if I join you?" Amanda looked up, surprised. The little smile that covered her face relaxed Amanda a little and she tried to find her voice back" Ahhmmm….of course…sorry I didn't ask you, thought you wouldn't appreciate my company after a whole week working with me" Amanda sighed. "Had I really been that badass?" Amanda snapped back as if the words had hidden her" Oh Olivia, that is not what I meant so say. It's just…Since I arrived in New York you barely spoke with me. You ignored my suggestions in open cases and…I heard what you told Cragen about the Newbie's and that you are not our nursery teacher. So I got the feeling you don't like me too much" she quietly mumbled. She felt stupid and naive that she had just told her crush how she felt about their work relationship over the past few months. But she was too exhausted to lie. Suddenly she felt a hand on her arm " I am sorry, Amanda. I really am. So many things had changed over the last year and I wasn't willing to let them happen", she sadly admitted. "Let me get you a drink and maybe we can talk a litte bit" "That sounds like a plan to me" Amanda smiled.
A few drinks later the atmosphere between the two Detectives had lightened up. They talked about Amanda's dog, Frannie and Olivia's Cat, Tayler S. Olivia was about to tell Amanda how Tayler S. always placed herself in the middle of the couch, which made it impossible to sit together when she abruptly stopped talking. Amanda turned around and followed her look and found a Guy sitting in a dark Corner. He had put his arm around his young attendance's waist and leaned over to whisper something in her ear. She started to laugh and her chest whipped up and down. Amanda turned back to Olivia to realize that she had gone. She looked around and suddenly saw her disappear in the ladies room. She got up, took her glass and walked over to the ladies room where she found Olivia leaning over the sink, her head down. Amanda couldn't see her face because of Olivia's hair but she heard her sob. "Olivia… are you ok?" No reaction. Amanda took a step closer to Olivia and reached out for her arm. When she touched her, Olivia startled. The drink in Amanda's hand spat all over Olivia's Shirt. "Oh Olivia, I am so sorry, I didn't want to scare you. Now I ruined your Shirt! What happened outside? Why did you flee into the ladies room?" " I don't care about the Shirt… It's just… I knew this would happen…again! Everybody's lying and betraying me! I am so sick of it! Just leave me the fuck alone! All of You!" With these words she stormed off the ladies room and left a perplex Amanda.
