This fanfic not sure if its going to be romantic Rolivia or friendship Rolivia. May borderline both. However I was inspired by the new Shania Twain song "I'm Alright" so you may see some lyrics here and there. This one starts out with a focus on Liv and shes still with Cassidy at the time. Not very happy and Amanda is concerned. So will their friendship grow, will Liv let her in. Will Amanda be there to listen? Wont be a long story maybe a couple shot. We will see what I get inspired with
She was with Cassidy, the biggest ass of SVU. At least that's what Amanda thought. She really didnt see what Liv saw in him. But he had been somewhat of a constant for Liv. They had a past. In the beginning of Liv's time at SVU. Shit Elliot didnt even care for him. But to each their own right? Her and Cassidy had started off as just sex, pure sex when they were stressed at work. It grew after some time apart. Just shortly after Amanda had come up to Manhattan, they had started seeing each other seriously and had even moved in together. For a while it seemed as though Liv was happy and that was all the team cared about. Amanda still didnt like the guy. She thought he was an overpompous ass, but she bit her tongue and kept it to herself. Her and Liv didnt get along the greatest and right now Liv wasnt on her ass and she wanted to keep it that way.
But as we move on into present times, Liv isnt acting herself. She's not snipping at Amanda, and is even making small talk with her. Which prompts Amanda to pick up on something being wrong. But again she doesnt want to pry cause she knows how Liv retaliates and practically has her head on a silver platter. There had been many times that Liv's harping on her made her wanna say 'fuck it' after work and go hit up a casino but she didnt want to ruin her sobriety either. She had worked hard for that.
Liv had dismissed everyone to go home for the evening. They werent going to get any further with the case til they heard from TARU and that wouldnt be til morning if they were lucky. Fin and Carisi were definitly game for getting out of there. Fin was itching to test out his new video game and Carisi was as well. They had been hanging out more often since going to the big convention not too long ago. Liv went back into her office. She had been arguing with Cassidy over texts for the past couple hours and you could see the stress taking a toll on her. She put her head on her desk for what she thought was a few minutes. It wasnt until she heard the knock on her door and the door slightly open that she realized it hadnt been a few minutes but it had been over an hour. She glanced up to see that there was still a light on out in the squad room. She had been under the impression everyone had gone home. She thought to herself 'Shit, noone can know I'm staying here. They'll know something is up. I dont want all the questions.' She was a strong woman, she didnt want them to know that Cassidy had gotten the best of her. Made a fool out of her so to speak. As she was deep in her thoughts she saw the light go out and heard the knock again. Then she heard the soft southern accent in the words spoke "Hey Lieutenant, I'm finished. Gonna head out for the evening. Wanna walk out together since we are the only ladies?" Liv got up and came to the door, she smiled which you could tell was a fake smile. " Okay Rollins. Thanks for staying and finishing up. I'll see you tomorrow." Amanda could tell something was up. Here was her boss, her eyes were red and the blackish circles under them let her know that she wasnt resting properly. Going against her better judgement she decided to pry a bit. "Olivia, are you okay? Not that I'm complaining but you havent really bitched at me or yelled at me. Plus you seem kinda run down."
Liv waited a second, she sent an angry glare. She hadnt meant to, it was her defense mechanism kicking in. She even kinda snappily replied "Well what do you expect, been working a case that all we seem to keep getting is dead ends. So what am I supposed to be happy?" Amanda's eyes went wide. There was the bitchy leiutenant she was used to. She felt stupid as shit for trying to make sure Liv was okay. "Okay Olivia I'll take that as you want me to leave. Sorry I bothered you. Have a good night." Amanda then walked away. Thoughts running wild, 'what the fuck? All I did was ask if she was okay cause I was concerned. See that bites me in the ass.' It struck Liv that she just unintentionally snapped on Rollins when all Rollins was doing was being a good subordinate and checking on her boss. Liv put her phone in her pocket and ran towards the elevator hoping to catch Amanda before she was gone. She saw the petite blonde standing there waiting. "Amanda wait." Amanda looked at Liv trying to hide her rolling eyes. She did not want to be yelled at again. It was enough already. "Yes Liv. What can I do for you?" Liv took a deep breath, "Amanda I'm sorry. It's just been a shit week, I guess since you were the last one to leave you caught my wrath. I'm sorry. Well I just wanted to apologize. Have a good night Amanda." Amanda cocked her head. See now Liv was confusing her again. Something was definitly going on. She must like torture she thought cause here she was about to check on Liv once more. "Liv, are you sure you're okay?" Liv looked down. "Yeah I'm alright Rollins. Go on home." Amanda reached out to touch Liv's shoulder, this was the most contact she had with her boss but she wanted to make sure she was okay. "Liv why dont you come over, we can talk, maybe have a couple glasses of wine. I know I'm pretty much your least favorite person on the squad but I cant leave you like this." Liv thought bout Amanda's words bout her being her least favorite on the squad, oh she couldnt be more wrong. Liv didnt want to keep her, she unfortunately had to go home at some point and face Cassidy. "Amanda I appreciate the offer, I really do. I'm good. I'll be finishing up here soon and heading home for the evening. Go home and relax for the evening. You have worked hard all day."
