Olivia sat at her desk in the back row, bored. She was thinking about her boyfriend Brian. She couldn't wait until 9th period was over. She was tapping her pencil on her desk and leaning on her hand completely out of it. She didn't hear her teacher talking to her.

"Ms. Benson" Mrs. Andrus said.

Olivia continued to stare off into space. Completely oblivious to the fact that everyone was staring at her.

"Ms. Benson"

Olivia jumped and her pencil fell. Mrs. Andrus cleared her throat.

"Yes Mrs. Andrus?" Olivia said trying to figure out what was going on.

"I was just asking you what your favorite quote is." She spoke staring at Olivia waiting for an answer.

"Um, I like" she looked down at her paper "'Anyone can try, but the only person who can really take those walls down, is the one who put them up.' By Anonymous" Olivia said.

"Very good Ms. Benson" she said walking back to her seat.

"That was close, get your head together Benson!" Her best friend Alex Cabot whispered from beside her.

"I know, I know" she murmured. She looked down as started to doodle as Mrs. Andrus spoke again.

"So class, you will be working on a project until the end of the year, you will be assigned a pen pal. You will write them for the next 6 months. Then I want you to write an essay on their life and customs." She spoke as she passed papers down the rows.

"What does this have to do with literature?" A girl by the name of Rose asked.

"We are doing this because it will help you all broaden your horizons. So you can stop texting and talk to someone the traditional way. The main reason for it is to show you how different places in the United States can be. To help open your eyes a little bit. I think you will all enjoy it" she smiled just as the bell rang. Everyone was up and out if their seats in 10 seconds.

"Oh Olivia?" Mrs. Andrus Said.

"Yes?" She asked turning around.

"I really hope you take this project seriously. I think it will help you open up"

"I will, thanks" she gave a small smile before walking into the hallway.

"Hey babe!" Brain said wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Hey Bri" she breathed kissing him lightly.

"You ready to go?" He asked pulling her close.

"Actually Alex was taking me home today, we need to talk" Olivia said kissing is cheek.

"Fine" he said.

"Let's go Benson" Alex said laughing.

"Okay" she went to pull away from Brian, but he turned them around and pushed her into the wall. He kissed her hard on the lips. He felt her gasp and took the chance and plunged his tongue into her mouth. It took her a second to gain the strength but she pushed him away lightly.

"I gotta go Bri, I'll see you later" she said breathless. She leaned up and kissed his cheek.

"Come on Liv" Alex said glaring at Brian.

"Coming" Olivia walked with Alex to her car.

"I don't understand why you let him just kiss you like that, you were like a statue. Did you even want it?" Alex asked slightly pissed.

"No, but he's Brian, it's what he does." She shrugged her shoulders.

"You shouldn't let him do that to you. Kissing is a mutual thing and him sticking his tongue down your throat is not only gross, but defiantly not mutual" she said unlocking the car as the both got in.

"Please leave it alone" Olivia said rubbing her temples.

"Only for now, who did you get for the project?" She asked as they pulled out of the parking lot.

"I don't know, I haven't looked" Olivia said taking out her America Literature binder.

"Well look! I got this guy named Fin, well that's his nickname. He's in the Air Force." She smiled.

"Oh sounds nice, hmm his name is Elliot Stabler. It's says he's in the Maries" she read from the paper.

"Oooh he sounds HOT!" Alex said as she pulled up to Olivia's house.

"Oh god, shut up Alex!" Olivia laughed as she got out of her seat.

"Hey, you never know!" She smiled as Olivia shut the door. She rolled down the window.

"So not nice!" She pouted.

"Bye Cabot!" Olivia waved as she walked up her front steps.

"See yah tomorrow, we still on to go shopping?"

"Yup" she smiled opening the front door.

"See yah Benson!" She called as she drove away.

Olivia laughed to herself as she walked into her house. She let out a sigh of relief. Be mother wasn't home yet. She walked up into her room and sat on her bed. She looked at her phone and she has a text from Brian.

Hey babe! Can I still come over tomorrow?

Bri

'Oh Shit' Olivia thought. She's going to the mall with Alex tomorrow. Brian is going to be so mad. She cringed at the thought of having to deal with angry Brian, he still was no Serena. Olivia heard the front door slam and she jumped. She quickly sent a text to Brian and pulled out her school work.

Sorry, I have plans with Alex.

Liv

Olivia had just finished her homework when her bedroom door flew open to reveal a very drunk Serena Benson.

"Hi Mom" Olivia squeaked out.

Serena Walked closer to Olivia, Olivia felt a stinging sensation on her cheek. Her hand involuntarily went to her cheek. A single tear fell down her cheek because she knows exactly what tonight has in store.

*SVU*

Olivia woke up with a bruise on her cheek and abdomen. She went into the bathroom and covered it up with make up. She looked at herself and all she saw was a broken girl looking for a way out. She looked away because she knew she was about to start crying. She walked down stairs to see her mother passed out. She got a glass of water and two Advil. She put them in front of her mother. She grabbed her stuff and ran out the door, and Alex was waiting for her in the car.

"Hey Lexi!" Olivia said getting in the car.

"Hey Liv" Alex smiled as she pulled out of her driveway.

"So are you excited to write your Marine." Alex asked.

"He's not My Marine Alex" Olivia huffed

"Yeah, Whatever" Alex smiled.

Olivia looked out the window and started daydreaming when Alex's voice interrupted it,

"Soooo Liv" She started.

"We are not talking about this!" Olivia spat.

"You need to tell someone."

"No, I'm fine Alex" Olivia huffed getting out of the car and meeting Brian.

"Hey baby" He murmured pulling her into a heated kiss. Alex gagged behind the two.

"Can you not?" Alex spat looking at Brian.

"What's her deal?" Brain asked Olivia.

"She thinks you're a controlling asshole, I guess she doesn't see you like I do" She smiled before kissing him lightly on the lips. He pulled her close as they walked to first period.

*SVU*

The rest of the day went by in a blur for Olivia. She found herself sitting in ninth period. She had zoned out. She glanced over at Alex who smiled then she turned and listened to what Mrs. Andrus was saying.

"So I want you to write to your pen pal during the period. This will be the only class time I'm going to give you." She sat down at her desk and started grading papers.

"Why don't you start writing Sexy Stabler, holy shit that'sa great name. That his name from now on" Alex whispered to Olivia.

"Shut up Alex" She took out a piece of paper and started writing.

Dear Stabler,

Elliot,

I have a school, I have a project

Olivia huffed. This was harder than she thought. She crumbled up the paper and got a new one out. She thought for a second before writing.

Dear Marine,

I hope your training of going well; I have this project for school where we write someone who is in a different part of the US than we are. Then in 6 months and I get to write an essay! Yay! I got you, so here I am writing you, sounds promising I suppose. I hope you're not a total creep. I have a few questions though, what race are you? How old are you? Where are you originally from? I know this sounds really stupid... Sorry

~ Olivia Benson

P.s. if you got this far, thanks for reading. I hope you write back.

Olivia folded the letter up and grabbed the envelope off her desk. She thought about not sending then thought 'Why not' she quickly put the letter in the envelope and signed her name and wrote her address and then his. She put a stamp on it and slid it into her backpack. She sat there smiling to herself hoping that Elliot would have to write her back.

I hope you all liked the first chapter! Please leave a review and tell me if I should continue! I would love your feedback! :)
