Chapter 17 - Part 1

Olivia's P.O.V

I hear her before I see her. I turn as soon as her footsteps stop. "Amanda." I say. "Liv." her reply is short. "What are you doing here?" I ask her. "I came to see you." Amanda replies.

I read through her lie easily. "You came to stop me." I say shortly. She nods once, "Yeah."

I nod and turn away from her. "You can't stop me. I have to get away from the person that is making me a bad detective." I tell her. "And who is that?" she asks.

"You." I tell her, whirling around to face her. She looks shocked.

"Me?" Amanda's voice is incredulous. "I see you everyday. I lived with you for a month. I have worked with you everyday for many years. I fell in love with you. All I can think about is you." I tell her. A tear falls and I wipe it away quickly.

"You fell in love with me?" she whispers. Her eyes are cast down. "Yes you." I say. She doesn't say anything. "What? You have nothing to say?" I scream.

"You don't get to say that I have nothing to say!" she yells. Her blue eyes are watering.

"What do you mean?" I ask. My voice is cracking. "I love you Liv. I've said it once before and I will say it again. I. Love. You." she lets her tears slide down her cheeks. "I've been in love with you since I first became your partner." Amanda whispers. "You do not know how long I've been waiting to hear that you love me." she whispers.

"What?" I ask. She tosses her jacket down. I don't say anything as she walks right up to me. Her lips are on mine before I can object, and I close my eyes. We kiss for a moment more before I pull away. She smiles and I smile back.

I place my lips on hers and then I hear applause. Amanda pulls away and looks at the door. Standing there is Nick, Fin, and Munch. They all have huge smiles on their faces.

"Finally. It took way too long." Fin says. Amanda groans and hides her face in my hair. "What's going on here?" I ask, pulling away from Amanda.

"Liv, everyone knew that Amanda was in love with you. Everyone except for you. We all knew she was in love with you. The entire squad did." Nick says.

"What?" I ask. "It wasn't really a secret. She has the 'I love you' eyes." Fin tells me. I look at Amanda who is sitting down. "Fin, Nick, Munch. I need you to leave and shut the door behind you." I say quietly.

The all leave, the door shutting quietly behind them. I look at Amanda and take her hands. Pulling her up so that she's standing I rest a palm on her cheek. "Is it true?" I ask quietly.

"Yes. It's all true." she sobs. I pull her to my chest, and she clings to me, sobbing. I wipe her tears. "It's okay." I whisper.

She nods, I take her hand and pull her into me. My lips brush against hers. "We should probably get back out there." Amanda whispers. "Yeah. You're probably right." I whisper. I peck her lips once more before taking her hand again and leading her into the squad room.

No one says anything about Amanda and I. My phone rings and I answer it.

"Benson." I say. I hear deep breathing on the other end of the phone. 'Track the caller' I mouth to Nick. He nods and starts typing away at his computer.

"I was raped." a woman's voice says. "Where are you?" I ask. "I-I can't remember." her voice is quiet. I look at Nick. He nods and hands me her address. "Okay. Listen to me. I need you to stay where you are, okay?" I ask. "O-Okay." she whispers. "Hurry." she says. The woman hangs up.

I read the address. I know exactly where it is.
