Hi guys I haven't forgotten about All for Love there is still plenty more to come on that one real soon! Just thought it would be nice to do a belated Valentine's Day story for our favourite couple Sam and Andy. Not sure how long this will be but if any ideas come to mind for it from all you great followers then just drop me a PM. As always thanks to Jelly Bean Jenna!
Note: - Just so you get the timeline of this story, Andy split from Luke before Sam took the Brennan case. Andy & Sam don't come face to face at all like in season 3 and as you can guess its set a few months after Sam leaves. So Valentine's Day is past but can you still find true love after it, especially if the person you love is gone?
Disclaimer: - I don't own Rookie Blue
Chapter 1
Valentine's Day was a sad day for Andy, everyone was loved up and spending the evening with the person they loved but Andy was alone. She had let the one person she truly loved walk away before she even had a chance to tell him how she felt and now she has no idea of when he'll be back or if he'll ever be back.
Andy had come to her senses months ago about Luke, he wasn't the person she loved, sure she did in a way love him but not in the way she loved someone else and that person was Sam Swarek. Something had always been there between the two of them but Andy also kept it locked away or on ice. Everyone could see that they were made for each other but they were so alike that their stubbornness kept them from crossing that line, the line which would mean there was no going back. The night she told Luke that it was over and that she was truly in love with someone else, didn't come to as a shock to him at all, he told her that he wasn't stupid and knew it was Sam. He couldn't compete against him and told her to just be happy as that was all that mattered to him. After saying sorry and also thanking him for understanding Andy quickly made her way to Sam's to finally take the huge step that they both needed and tell him how she felt and that was she loved him, she had probably loved him from day one and she was fed up waiting and wondering what if. Arriving at Sam's though, she knew the minute she stepped out the taxi that something was off, the whole house was in total darkness and his truck was gone. She did knock a few times and waited half an hour but it was useless Sam was gone, she was too late.
Andy walked slowly through the streets of Toronto back to her apartment as silent tears fell freely down her cheeks; she was empty, broken and just down right angry with herself that she had waited so long. Entering her apartment she didn't even bother turning on the lights as she made her way to the bedroom all she knew now was that it was be a long and lonely journey ahead as she waited for Sam to return but she'll admit that she was scared, scared of the fact that maybe Sam would have moved on and forgotten all about her.
And so here she was, a few days after Valentine's Day sitting in the woman's locker room waiting to do a double shift and feeling so exhausted with everything and how sad she was feeling. It wasn't unusual for her to pull a double shift; it was her way of keeping her mind busy. If she was busy with doing her job then it was keeping her mind off of Sam. Staying out of her mind was the easy part but the pain in her chest would never go away until he walked back through those doors, whenever that would be. Pulling herself together she left the locker room and headed to parade, ready for the first shift of the day. She liked the early part of the double shift as none of her friends would be in for another few hours. Ever since she found out that Sam had left for an undercover job, her friend's had been keeping a close eye on her, making sure she was always ok and never really on her own. She loved her friend, she really did but sometimes they treated her as if she was going to break but she knew deep down she never would and she was grateful for all the support from them. The booming of Frank's voice brought her back to reality, she had missed all of parade and this was the first time either. Sighing she forced herself to her feet ready to start another day of work without Sam.
Sitting over on the other end of Toronto, Oliver sat in his car waiting for the person he was picking up to arrive, it was nearing 7am and his shift would be starting in the next few hours. The last few months had brought out another side to Oliver and that was being a support system for someone he always treated as another daughter and that was Andy McNally. Oliver always knew there was something between her and Sam but then she decided that Luke was the safer choice and to be honest he couldn't argue with her. Sam Swarek had always been known as the bad boy, gave off that vibe, had the look and loved the life of undercover. That was until he was tackled in an alley way by the brown eyed Rookie who with a sudden impact took Sam's heart. Being around Andy and working with her changed something in his best friend, he always had to know she was ok, wanted to be her protector and also stood by her no matter what the cost. Oliver seen the hurt in Sam's eyes when he found out that her and Luke had become an item but being the friend and partner Sam was he pushed his own feelings aside and let Andy live her life. Even though Andy was with Luke that never stopped the chemistry between her and Sam and the love they had for each other but they were both too stubborn to do anything about it and finally when Andy bit the bullet so to speak it was too late.
For the past few months Oliver as watched Andy live with the heartbreak of never knowing if Sam will return day in and day out. A few days ago was Valentine's Day, a couples dinner had been put on at the Black Penny and like he thought Andy refused to go saying she was happy with a takeaway and a quiet night alone. That night he watched as the person he thought of as another daughter walked away from him at the station's car park and off into the darkness, that night he swore that Sam would get a piece of his mind when he returned. Sitting watching the morning workers go past in their cars, the person he was waiting on finally came into view. He looked okay at first glance but Oliver knew that just a few weeks never mind a few months away would have taken its toll. Slowly getting out of the car he walked towards his best friend and pulled him into a tight hug, no words had to be said in this strong moment between the two of them. Pulling away Oliver took in the sight of Sam, he looked tired as if he hadn't slept for days plus he noticed the white bandage sticking out from under the arm of the t-shirt;
"It's good to have you back brother" he said honestly and he was, he was happy that he had come back in once piece. Sam only just nodded and gave a small smile as he followed Oliver towards the car. It had been a long few months, loads of thoughts and what ifs about a certain person had always been in his mind even in the most dangerous moments of his UC job. Sighing as he relaxed into the passenger seat Sam spoke the only question he wanted to ask since Oliver had agreed to pick him up;
"How's Andy?" he asked as he looked towards his friend. He was shocked to find Oliver already looking at him and a look in his eyes that he couldn't really read;
"Let's make a stop of the way back, we need to talk Sam" and with that Oliver pulled out into the busy morning traffic, leaving Sam wondering what was wrong and his gut pulling tight inside him.
