Olivia exited the car following the ADA into the building.

Once they retrieved the warrant and exited the building, they headed back to the car. Olivia tried to pry out the keys out of Alex's hand.

"Please, just let me drive. We'll get there faster." Olivia pleaded with Alex who already got into the driver's seat.

Olivia sighed and entered the car.

"I can drive twice as fast. Plus, you heard the judge, right? We have the guy in custody so there is no rush." Alex stated with a smirk.

"Alex, I am not talking about us on the job." Olivia turned towards the passenger seat window.

"Actually, you are off the job. Elliot sent a text, Hey, you and Olivia are off. Fin got this idiot to confess. We are heading home. We are sentencing him to 20 years + Casey Novak was there so you can talk with her. Thanks." Alex read. She turned towards Olivia, "Now that we are off the job. Can we talk?"

Olivia didn't understand why this world hated her so much. Why did Elliot text Alex not her? Olivia just nodded avoiding any type of contact with Alex.

Alex hadn't started the car yet. "I just want to be with you Olivia. I know a year seems like a century, but you did without me for two years. I just want it to be you and me." Alex stared at Olivia.

There was something about Alex's speeches that got Olivia revved up. Olivia turned towards Alex. She felt she had to at least get her feeling's out there. She hated getting all mushy gushy, but Alex had that affect on her.

"I love you, Alex. The truth is…" Olivia breathed, she felt the waterworks coming. "The truth is I can't be without you for a year…I just can't…but I know I can try, for you. You have this affect on me…" Olivia felt tears fall from her cheek. She didn't care to wipe them; she had to let this be known. "I can't be without you again. It's not because of the distance or because you are not going to be physically here with me." Olivia continued to shed tears. Alex had her tears rising like a tidal wave ready to crash. "I am scared. I hate saying it Alex and it may sound weird, but I am scared. I am scared of getting hurt, of letting my feelings show, of so many things that harbor my worst fear…which is losing you." Olivia was now uncontrollably sobbing.

Alex blue eyes gleamed with tears forming and dripping down her cheeks. "Olivia…you are not going to lose me…and don't be scared, I am here, that… that where I will forever be, even if I am 3 million miles away from here." Alex gazed into the brunettes eyes.

"I…am just afraid Alex." Olivia relaxed her head on the seat. She shut her eyes.

"Look, we can go to your apartment and continue this conversation." Alex turned on the car when Olivia nodded her head.

5 minutes later Olivia was sound asleep in the passenger seat. Olivia's home was half an hour from where she was located.

Why was Olivia so scared? Alex thought. I hope I didn't mess her up. Why did she think she was going to lose me? And most of all why was she afraid of getting hurt?

A couple minutes later past from driving, Olivia started stirring and woke up. "We aren't there yet? I am tired. I want my bed." Olivia gave her famous crooked smile.

"We are almost there," Alex smiled.

Olivia turned towards Alex, "Why did we choose each other?"

Alex chokes almost on these words, "What?"

"Why did destiny put you and me together? I could deal with less heartache that way." Olivia smirked.

Alex turned towards Olivia then back on the road, "I have no idea. My heartache healed when we were together that one week. I just want to be with you again, if you let me, Olivia. I want to stay with you and help you get over those fears."

"I want to be with you Alex, but how many long distance relationships do you know of that last in a year? I remember reading a statistic saying less than 1%." Olivia replied.

"We can be that 1 percent, Liv. We can do this. I know you love me as much as I love you." Alex parked the car in the garage.

Olivia unbuckled her seatbelt and opened her door. Alex got out on the other side. She met with Olivia at the entrance and they waltzed through the hallway to get to the elevator.

Once they got up Olivia opened her door with her key and let Alex in.

"I am heading to bed…so…" Olivia gazed at Alex.

"I am going with you. We have to talk Olivia." Alex had a concerned look on her face.

Olivia shrugged and laid on her bed. Alex climbed on and laid on Olivia's chest.

"I want us, Olivia. I just can't let you go. Even when I am in Colorado, I will haunt you." Alex smiled.

"Really?" Olivia replied cynically. "I don't think, that will be possible, if I am willing to do this for you." Olivia smiled at Alex's reaction.

Alex jumped and had way more than a smile on her face, "I love you. I love you. Thank you." She kissed Olivia on the lip.

Olivia chuckled at Alex's excitement. "I love you, too."

The END.

AN: How did you like that ending? I think Olivia will get over her fears. She hid her feelings and now that they are all out there she can finally accept that her feelings for Alex are never going to change. Hey, I would like some reviews on the overall story. Thank you for reading. I have more to give so favorite me as an author and read my other stories.
