Chapter 3

{So this book isn't going to be taking place at the same time. Like Liv and Elliot aren't as old as when the Lewis thing actually happened. Okay, thanks. Read on!}

"What did he do to you?" Amanda asked quietly, a notepad in hand, ready to take notes.

"Where do you want to start?" I asked dryly.

"When he took you." She frowned.

"He took me in the town car, and um, on the way there, he stopped and raped me." I breathed my response, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"When you arrived at the warehouse?" Amanda asked, her voice shaking.

"I asked where Amelia was, and he took me upstairs. Before he would let me make sure she was okay, he forced me onto the bed and he raped me again." I chocked.

"Amanda, lets stop here for the day." Nick said, disgust covering his face.

"Alright. Liv, want something to drink?" Amanda asked as we walked out of the room they were getting my report in.

"N-no thanks." I stuttered.

"Okay. Fin should be back soon, and then you can go home." She smiled softly. I nodded and stopped in my path as I looked at my desk.

"Bri?" I breathed slowly.

"Hey Liv." He smiled softly. He walked over to me and reached to pull me into his arms, but I stepped back, right into Nick. 

"Brian, give her some space." Nick said with a sigh.

"Back off amigo. I just wanted to see my girl." Brian smiled, but I felt tears well in my eyes.

"Maybe you should have seen me the night that he took me." I whimpered.

"Liv, come on. I was UC." Brian replied. I shook my head and walked away.

"Olivia!" Brian cried, but I just walked into the bathroom so he couldn't follow.

After I managed to calm myself, I walked out timidly. I kept looking over my shoulder, making sure that no one was coming, but when I entered the squad room, I wish that someone had been there to kill me.

"Why are you here?" I breathed, as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Hey, Benson." He breathed, and even though I wanted to be so angry at him, I swallowed hard and threw myself into his arms. He held me close as I sobbed.

"Liv, it's alright. I'm here now. Don't cry." Elliot cooed, as he rubbed my back and held me as close to his body as possible.

"It's not alright. It'll never be alright." I sobbed.

Fin and Elliot took me home, Elliot holding me in the back seat the whole time. I slept on and off, and was pleasantly surprised when I woke up and I hadn't had a nightmare. Elliot helped me out, and he walked with his hand on my back as we entered the building. I took slow deep breathes as we walked up the stairs, and I didn't have a flash back.

"Elliot, why don't you help Liv to the couch and I'll make her something to eat." Fin spoke quietly, and Elliot nodded.

He helped me to the couch and covered me up.

"Where were you?" I asked as he made sure the blanket covered my body.

"I was in Hong Kong. I'm a lawyer, for a fancy company." He chuckled and I grabbed his hand and he smiled and squeezed it.

"Kathy and the kids?" I asked quietly, and he shrugged.

"They are okay. Maureen graduated from medical school, and Kathleen is still working on her degree. Dickie is in the Marines and Lizzie is becoming a nurse. Eli is getting extremely grown up." Elliot chuckled and I nodded slowly. I curled up into a ball as I shook from chills.

"Want another blanket?" Elliot asked and I shook my head.

"I'm fine." I breathed. I closed my eyes for a few moments and started to doze off again, before I felt Elliot gently caress my cheek. My eyes fluttered open and I yawned quietly before looking at him.

"Can you hold me?" I muttered and he nodded. He pulled me into his arms and held me on the couch. I nuzzled my head into his chest and inhaled his scent before falling asleep.

Elliot's POV

She slept peacefully in my arms, her head nuzzled into my chest and her hands under her head. She would shake every once and awhile, let out a small whimper and then would cuddle closer to me. I missed this. I missed my Olivia.

"What are you doing?" Fin asked as he brought out some food and tea for Liv.

"She was cold and asked me to hold her. I wasn't going to say no." I replied quietly. He frowned and sat the food down before grabbing another blanket and covering us up with it.

"Don't come back into her life and then just run out again. She needs something concrete, something that can put her back together when she breaks. Someone who can hold her when she cries. Don't be a fucking jackass again, Stabler." Fin hissed and I rubbed Liv's back gently and I looked Fin dead in his eyes.

"You may have been here when I was gone, but Olivia has always been mine. She is my best friend and is my partner. I'm not going to leave her. I'll bring my whole life back here just to make sure Liv is okay. I love her." I hissed back, intense emotion in my voice.

I would do ANYTHING to protect Liv, and I hate myself for the fact that I hadn't been here to protect her, it killed me. I was , in fact, deeply in love with the woman that laid in my arms.

"Lewis! Get off of me!" Liv screamed, and she hit me and fought my embrace. I quickly let her go but spoke softly to her.

"Olivia! It's me, El. Wake up Liv." I spoke over and over again until she awoke. She looked at me with wide eyes, and broke into sobs.

"I hurt you!" She sobbed and I shook my head as I pulled her back into my arms.

"No, sweetie. I'm fine. Just breathe." I spoke quietly, but she looked up at me and touched my cheek.

"I scratched you. You're bleeding." She replied quietly.

"It's just blood. Don't worry." I replied quietly before gently kissing her forehead. She melted back into my arms and cuddled in closer to me.

"I'm sorry Elliot."
