Elliot and Nick were back at the in squad room six hours later. Nick stormed into Olivia's office" i can't work with him  !" Nick said fuming. Olivia groaned and looked up at him "  what happened ?  what did he do?"

 " he took over like he never left! he didn't let me do anything! he was trying to show me how to do this job! like he has been doing it for years " Nick gritted out " technically he has " Olivia sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She looked out and looked at Elliot she glared at him as he stared back at her. "listen  I know he  can be a real son of a bitch sometimes, but give him time  he'll warm up to you" Nick nodded leaning back in his chair " how did you deal with him for 12 years?" Olivia shook her head " he was an ashole to me, we had our fights but I couldn't ask for a better partner, he would take a bullet for me" she smiled to the thought of him "you were in love with him?  " Nick said under his breath " what? no, he was or is married and I am married to this job " Olivia smiled lightly shaking her head then she stood up and motioned for him to follow "now go do your paperwork ill talk to him  " Nick nodded and left the office

 " Stabler my office now !" she went back inside and stood behind her desk looking down at the floor, Elliot walked in and stands in front of the desk and then sits down " yes captain?" he asked  "what are you doing? you can't just come back here and take over, and why are you being so stubborn with Nick?" "I just met the guy, give me a break, I don't trust him yet, and I was maybe gone for three years but I know how to do this job, I know this job and I know you Liv " he pointed at her. " look I hired you back because Cragen asked me to, don't make me regret it and   Elliot no you don't know me... not anymore and I don't know you, you are not the same Elliot I knew, you are not the man who once said to me "am your partner for better or worse" cause the Elliot I knew would never leave without a reason. and without talking to me first I thought we had a better relationship" she said shaking her head.

Elliot furrowed his eyebrows " Liv I know you, I know every scar that you have am still him, am, still that man " Olivia wanted to laugh "no...  every scar? El I have my old scars but I have also some new ones, and the one that hurts the most is the one you gave me when you left " " I'm sorry, I left Liv,"  Olivia groaned " Elliot you left me in the dark, I missed you so much, how could you do this? I was so worried, trying to call you... ha... our friendship and partnership was just a convenience for you weren't it? , I didn't mean anything to you" " didn't mean anything? didn't mean anything? Liv you mean more to me then this job" Elliot argued."if I did then why didn't you talk to me? why didn't you come to me? " " because I know you would try to talk me out of it, I knew you would try to make me stay"  Olivia put her face in her hands" look can you just get along with Nick ?, it took me a while but I ended up trusting him, not the way I trusted you, but I trust him, he is a good cop" " you can still trust me, I was your partner for 12 years"

" right, but things have changed, I trusted you with my life El, where were you when I needed you the most, what happened to you?  what happened to my best friend? " "wait what are you talking about? did someone do something to you? please, Liv tell me, talk to me" " now you want me to talk to you ... no, it doesn't matter now, the point is things will never be the same again deal with it "

Olivia explained wanting him to leave already  Elliot breathed before standing up "I maybe the one who left, but I'm, not the one who changed " Elliot walked out of her office without looking back at her.
