Rejection [A Bensler Fan Fic]

Two

Olivia had completely put up her walls over the weekend and had cried more tears than she ever had before. Even if she didn't want to, she got ready for school and headed in to finish her last week of school before graduation in early June.

"Mom said that you didn't have to go today. Your exams aren't until the last three days of this week." Matthew spoke as his sister drove them to school on Monday morning.

"I'm not missing a day of my senior year. So I'll be going the rest of this week." Olivia sighed. She came to a stop in traffic before glancing over at her brother.

"You'll find someone who isn't an ass." Matthew sighed.

"Huh?"

"Elliot is an ass."

"Matty, thanks for being supportive and all... but I will be leaving for Boston in a few months and don't have to worry about him anymore." Olivia spoke softly. She reached over and squeezed her brother's arm gently before hesitantly moving forward.

Olivia went straight to her locker once she got to school. She opened it and swallowed hard when she saw the pictures of herself and Elliot that she had put up just months ago, after they got back together again.

"Hey." Elliot whispered as he came up beside Olivia and looked at her. 

"Hey... uh, do you want these? Because otherwise I don't know what I'll do with them." Olivia breathed.

"You should keep them, especially if we ever get back together." Elliot smiled weakly.

"That will never happen, Elliot. So either take them, throw them away, or burn them." Olivia frowned. She passed Elliot the stack of pictures she had slowly gathered before grabbing a few binders from her locker and shutting it.

"I want to be with you, and I thought that maybe we could talk this through. Really figure out what we want."

"I want you to go back in time and not fuck Brandy Lewis while still wearing your purity band." Olivia spat before she turned quickly and headed to class.

Elliot ran his hands over his face as he leaned against Olivia's locker. He wished that he would have never slept with Brandy, because then he'd still be Olivia's boyfriend. Then he might have been able to finally tell her that he loves her.

"We are going to dinner tonight. Your treat." Brandy spoke as she came up to Elliot.

"What?" He sighed.

"Well, since that disgusting bitch finally broke up with you, you are mine. So tonight we are going on a date. Pick me up at five, and if you don't show up, I will make your life just as much of a living hell as hers." Brandy grinned. She forcibly kissed Elliot, and when they parted, she smiled because Olivia had tried to come back to her locker and saw it all.

Elliot kept trying to get Olivia to talk to him, but every time she told him no and walked away crying. He was disheartened by the end of the day, but still went to pick Brandy up for the dinner she was forcing him into.

"You couldn't have worn something nicer?" Brandy huffed after she opened the front door. Elliot sighed as he looked down at his dark wash jeans and the nice button up he had put on.

"This is the best you are getting. Olivia loved me in this." Elliot frowned.

"Don't talk about her, Elliot Stabler. She is worthless, and you just needed a shove to drop her."

"She broke up with me, Brandy. Because she found us fucking in the back seat of my truck. And for your information, she isn't worthless. I love her and I cannot believe that I ruined our whole relationship because I wanted to have sex and I chose you." Elliot huffed. He ran his hands through his hair before turning quickly and heading towards his truck.

"You better open the damn door for me after that... that disgusting emotional... I don't even know what to call it but I didn't like it." Brandy spat, as she slammed the front door before walking towards Elliot's truck.

"No, Brandy. We aren't going out tonight. I have a girl to make things up too, so find another relationship to destroy."

Elliot drove past Olivia's house, but she wasn't there. So he then started to drive to all of her favorite places. He stopped by the library, the park across from the library, along with different places they had eaten at on dates. He started to give up as the sun set, but decided to check out the marina.

He smiled when he saw Olivia on one of the benches that overlooked the water.

"I have looked all over for you." Elliot spoke as he sank down beside Olivia.

"Why?" She whispered, as she played with her purity ring.

"I want to date you again. Please, just give me another shot." Elliot frowned as he looked over at her. Olivia shook her head as she brushed tears off her cheeks.

"I saw you kissing Brandy earlier, and she was telling everyone that she was dating you and spending tonight with you. I guess that you two deserve each other. Both are absolute monsters and don't care about anyone but themselves. So no, we aren't dating again. I will not waste another day on you. I will find someone who is more willing to love me." Olivia whispered.

"I love you." Elliot blurted out before reaching out to pull Olivia close. He thought that saying those few words would make everything better, but it didn't help at all. It just made Olivia feel worse.

"I can't wait to graduate and get the hell out of here. Away from you, Brandy, and all the other assholes we attend school with. I just hope you didn't get her pregnant or anything, especially because you can't commit to me... let alone a baby and Brandy." Olivia spoke. She wiped at the tears on her cheeks again before standing and tossing her ring into the water.

"Olivia!" Elliot exclaimed, especially since he and Olivia bought matching bands. It was a promise to each other, but he had broken it many times before.

"Goodbye, Elliot."
