OLIVIA'S POV

Nov 29, 2011

Elliot Stabler,

I didn't celebrate Thanksgiving. Not a lot to be thankful for when my former partner and best friend deserted me. You probably had a feast with your family. Did Kathy make her homemade cranberry sauce? Probably. Did Dickie say grace this year? Most likely. But I wouldn't know because I wasn't there. I wouldn't know because I was left behind.

I have received not a single word from you. Not a single word or excuse about why you left. About why you abandoned me. Elliot, do you realize that every single person in my life has abandoned me? EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. You always said you were different. That you would stay. The funny part is that I actually believed you. I believed you. I trusted you. I loved you.

You deserve to be happy, but so do I. And I was happy with you. I was happy.

Det. Olivia Benson
