Elliot pov
It's been eight days since I've seen Olivia. Eight days! Shit and I'm missing her like crazy, and Kathleen. I don't know how a world like mine can all of a sudden crash down like this. These past few days have been terrible; torturous for me.
Maybe Olivia's right. All I think about is myself right? All about me,myself, and I, right? I just don't get it though. I thought she would feel the same, you know? I mean, after knowing each other for so long, helping each other, working with each other, being partners, I was under the impression that...that we would both develop feelings for each other.
Maybe I'm wrong, but for me it felt as though, as though me and Liv were meant to be together😖😢 and I had to go and ruin that little connection that was left. I've been thinking and I've decided to go and try and to mend our broken friendship.

It's been eight days. Eight damn days and I'm still crying and heart-broken over Elliot! I mean it's not like we were in ANY kind of a relationship besides friends and I sure as hell am not gonna try to mend things with him! After what he put me through a week and one day ago, I'm not even able to look at him!😒😪😥😓😰😟 it's like as if I don't even know him anymore.
The Elliot Stabler I used to know was kind and a little arrogant, but in a good way. You know? He would always check on me, during few cases and it's just he's so so different now. I don't know how someone can change so quickly. I miss the old Elliot but I don't want this new Elliot!

I'm at Olivia's front door. I want to knock but every time I get prepared to, I stop myself. I can't find it in me to knock. Maybe I'm scared, terrified, and petrified. I'm scared to know what's behind that door when I knock. I'm terrified as to what the reaction will be from Olivia when she opens the door to find me. I'm petrified that I won't be able to fix, or mend what's been going on for these past days. I pluck up the courage to knock.
No answer. I knocked again. Still no answer. I reach forward to ring the doorbell when I stumble back to the door opening. Olivia looks directly in my eyes. I see true anger, yet sadness deep inside. Her eyes are all red and puffy, like she's been crying for days; I bet she has been. I wish I could comfort her. Give her a hug, soothe her with some warming, kind words, but no. She would never, ever let that happen. I'm surprised she's even letting me stand near her. I snap out of my thoughts and look back at her. She's got anger in her eyes, but tears are rolling down her cheeks.😢😢😢 She looks me dead in the eyes. Her tone is harsh when she spoke, but I still listened.
"What are you doing here? I don't want to see you!" She says clear as day. I look up at her and say what needs to be said.
"I know. I know, I know, I know, but listen please Liv listen to me just for two seconds!" I say, as I reach toward her to comfort her.
"Don't touch me! Don't come near! Don't ever try to contact me, or even come 100 feet near me. I don't know how our friendship came to this!" She screamed at me.
"I do!" I yelled back. She was shocked at that.
"Well than how? Tell me, "friendship expert"! How?!" She snapped back.
I thought to myself for a second. 'How did we get to this state? Of hating each other, of screaming and yelling obscenities at each other?' I took a step forward. "Don't come near me!" Olivia spat in my face. I took a slight step back, not even thinking to hesitate. "Olivia, I don't think you really want to know how we got to this state of hating each other." I said in a quiet,and calm voice. "The hell I don't! Tell me h-how?!" She sobbed and ran in to my arms. She than realized what she's done, but she didn't care. She just stayed in my arms and cried her eyes out. She finally calmed down and looked up at me. I looked back at her not knowing what to do. "I-I-I'm so sorry Elliot it's just I'm not ready for a relationship yet. But maybe if we take it VERY slow, I can start to warm up to the idea😊😘👏🙌" she said with finality.

I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't want a relationship at all. I just, I was just doing what Elliot wanted. But I guess I'll have to deal with it. How bad could it be?
