Author's POV

"Elliot"

"Uhm, I think we need more soda, guys are you coming to the store?" Alex asked, trying to get everyone out so Elliot and Olivia could talk.

It worked and everyone left. Only Olivia, Elliot and Noah were in the room now.

"Olivia how are you feeli-." "Why are you here?!" Olivia interrupted.

"I heard you were in the hospital, I wanted to know how you are, to be here for you."

"To be here for me?" Olivia said sarcastic with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Elliot you left. After twelve years, you left without a word, and never looked back. Not for four years!

You can't coma back and say you want to be here for me! I was shot, you weren't there. I was kidnapped, you weren't there. I became sergent, you? You weren't there! Lewis took me again, and played russian roulette with a gun against me. You were not there. I got a kid, and you were not there! Casey got married, and You Weren't There! I got cancer, AND YOU WEREN't There! And now, on my birthday, you're here, pretending you never left!!! I missed you Elliot. And you. Weren't. There!" Olivia was crying now.

Elliot also had tears in his eyes.

"Olivia I am so so sorry! I-I, couldn't look back. I couldn't answer your texts or call back Olivia, you must understand!" "Why?! Why must I understand Elliot!!?! You Left! I can't understand that! Why couldn't you call or send a text?!"

"Because!" "Because what?!!" "Because if I did, I wouldn't be able to move on. I wouldn't be able to hear your voice and then not coming back to work. I wouldn't be able to walk away from you if I hesitated." "What are you talking about?! Why did you have to quit?!!"

He hesitated. "I couldn't work with you anymore Olivia. I couldn't work with you." "Why?" Olivia said in tears.

"Because.. I couldn't hide my feelings anymore. I cared too much about you. I loved you, I still do."
