I do not own Rookie Blue or any of the characters or actors, as much as I would like to sometimes.
This is the first time I have written any fan fiction in several years, so bear with me as I find my legs again. I really just had to get this out of my head, where it was running around asking to be written. It was originally suppose to be a one shot. But with the lovely help of Snapple and Ryder I have been told to make it a little longer. Thank you both for encouraging me. And this is starting out as T may go to M but not sure yet.
Here she was on the dance floor dancing with Dov, at Frank and Noelle's wedding. And what a wedding it had been, so beautiful and touching. She still had the urge to cry thinking of the vows, and to think that it almost didn't happen.
That morning she has received a frantic phone call from Traci saying she had lost Noelle. But in the end she found her, and the wedding went on without a hitch. It showed Andy that even a strong woman like Noelle could run away with fear. But she came back and married the man she was suppose to be with for life. Gave her a tiny bit of hope.
Dov spun her out real quick, and in that second she saw Sam dancing with Marlo. They were so close and laughing at something. He looked happier than he had been with her. That tiny bit of hope dissipated quickly. Being pulled back to Dov snapped her out of her Sam daze. He looked down at Andy, pulled her in and whispered "Someday he will figure it out"
Her mind a little fuzzy from the champagne she had been downing like water all night she responded "What will he figure out? I think he has what he wants."
Dov about to respond was interrupted by a steady voice asking, "Can I cut in?"
Andy turned to look at Oliver "Sure can, I am sure Dov would love a turn around the dance floor with you."
"Hardy Har Har Andy, I meant with you." Oliver laughed.
Taking her hand he brought her out to the dance floor, he could see that she was a little tipsy. More than anything he could feel the sadness radiating off her.
Bringing her into a respectable distance they started swaying. "So how you doing McNally?"
"Great just great"
Looking down at his favorite rookie, although he won't say that out loud. He realized that she was trying everything to not look at Sam and Marlo.
"You know McNally its just a phase..." Oliver was cut off by Andy.
"Oliver enough please, I have given up. I know when the odds are stacked against me, I am out. Do I still love him, everyday until I die I will. But I can see now that he couldn't be with me. He's so happy with Marlo. He takes her out and show he cares for her. I see it everywhere. He just wasn't like that with me. I love him, and all I want is for him to be happy. I just want him to be happy, and I have to accept that I can't make him happy." A few tears slowly made a trail down her cheeks "I think its time I start trying to be happy. I won't love anyone like I love him, but I can try to find happiness. I think I deserve some happiness."
He watched more tears trail down her cheeks, and then he felt her stiffen, looked over his shoulder and saw Sam kiss Marlo on the forehead. Andy pulled out of his arms "I have to get some air I think i have had too much to drink" And then she was off, practically sprinting out the door of the ballroom. His heart broke for her, he was getting ready to follow her to make sure she was okay. But Nick beat him to the punch already leaving through the same door as Andy, Oliver had a feeling that another guy was falling for Andy.
Turning on his heel he headed back toward the bar to get a drink he noticed Sam standing there by himself now. Walking up to him, he saw that he was looking around the ballroom in search of something or someone. "Where's Marlo?" He asked Sam
"She went to the bathroom. She should be back soon." Apparently he wasn't looking for her, which only pissed him off more.
Turning toward the bar, Oliver signaled the bartender over asked for a beer, once it was in his hands he took a sip. "You know you're an idiot." "Excuse me" Sam asked
"The woman you love loves you back, and you're wasting your time with another woman who doesn't even measure up to Andy. Do you know what I would give for Zoe to still love me? Instead she's in love with another man. If you don't figure it out soon you might lose her forever. And believe me you will regret it. And that possibility might be closer than you know"
Grabbing his beer Oliver turned around, shocked to see Marlo standing two feet away with a surprised look on her face. He walked past her, leaving Sam there to deal with the fall out.
