The secret

The man

"Liv. I can't believe you right now! You of anyone of us here now that you never shower! Just in case you change your mind!" He says
I don't need a lecture from him.
"Well that's okay, because I'm not going to change my mind!" I snap. I get up and walk to the coffee machine. I feel Elliot's hand on me. I jump at his touch. The memories of the night come back to me.
"Don't touch me" I say shrugging his hand from off of me.
I walk over to my desk and put down the coffee.
"Capt. Do we have a case?" I ask
"Yes. Yours!" He replies.
My God!
"Do we have a real case?"
"Olivia. Yours is a real case! Why are you being like this?!"
"If this gets out to the media! He will come after me again. He already knows where I live!"
"What? He knows where you live?"
"It happened in the ally just outside my building"
"Oh my god! Liv, in the media or not he could still come after you again!" Elliot says.
"I'm fine. I'm a big girl. I can protect myself"
"What like you did in that ally?"

Did her really just say that?
My jaw drops as I stand up.

"Liv I'm sorry, I didn't mean that" Elliot says.
I run to the bathroom.
"Liv I'm sorry"
When i get in the bathroom I break down into tears. Luckily no one is in there.
Knock knock knock.
"Liv I'm sorry!" I hear Elliot from the other side of the door.
I don't answer.
"Liv please. I'm sorry. I crossed the line! I'm so sorry. I just want to help you" he says.
I open the door.
"If you want to help me. You'll leave me alone" I say pushing past him.
I just walk. I walk out of the precinct leaving my bag and coat. I just walk. I go down the stair and onto the streets. It's only 4:00 but because it's winter it gets dark early. I walk down the street. I walk past the shop where I brought my coffee the other night. I still don't know where that went. I walk past the ally where it happened .I stand there for a minute. The memories come flooding back.
"Ahh. We meet again detective Benson" a voice says behind me. I'm dreaming. This isn't real.
"Oh don't go shy on me now" he says, putting his hands on my waist.
No. No. It's going to happen again.
I feel him push me against the wall.
"Freeze!" I hear from behind me. I know that voice.
"Get down. On the floor"
The man is still pressed against me.
"I said get down ass wipe!"
Elliot!
I turn around to see Elliot onto of the man. Cuffing him.
"This is Detective Stabler, requesting back up on the corner of 42nd street" he says into his radio.
"Liv!" He says throwing his arms around me. "Liv, are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm so sorry. I shouldn't of spoke to you like that before! I'm so sorry I-"
"Liv it's okay. It's not your fault. It's okay. It's okay. Your safe now. It's okay" he says as he holds me in his arms.
