Song: You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson
A/N: I thought that this would help sense I know I hardly ever update. This song kinda fits perfect with Ziva's background sense she said her little sister was killed when she was sixteen so this is kinda like what I thought her and Ari would feel like (I like Ari; I think he's awesome and a bastard) This kinda came to me by looking at the lyrics.
Twenty-Two year old Ziva David just fully got released from the Hospital three weeks after her baby sister Tali David was killed in a Hamas Suicide Bombing. Ziva who also was caught in the blast was more then lucky to make it out with only a couple of head in injuries. Ziva had been on her way to meet her sister at their favorite Cafe for Lunch but just as she was nearing it, it was blown up; Tali inside the Cafe. Ziva was caught in the blast and blanked out only to wake up to see her older half-brother Ari Haswari looking at her with red eyes and Ziva immediately knew Tali was no longer alive. Ziva had been able to attend the funeral under the careful watch of Ari.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
and leave my world so cold
Ziva sat on the cold hard ground of the cemetery of which held her baby sister and mother. She read each plot which said everything to Ziva. 'Natalia Ariana David, January 18th 1983-April 5th 1999. Family will miss her dearly as she was gone to soon.' Ziva wiped her tears and looked over at the other plot which pretty much said the same thing. She sat there thinking to her self 'Why did you have to leave so soon?'
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though your far away
I am here to stay
That's how her older brother found her hours later sobbing, shaking back and forth on the ground, though he was older then Ziva not by much he has already moved on and expected the fact that his baby sister was dead. He sat down next to Ziva and pulled her into a hug whispering something in her ear speaking both to Ziva and Tali at the same time.
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
All alone
Why, oh
Two nights ago, the first night Ziva had been home, he thought he heard her cry during the night asking him to come and hold her in his arms. He promised him self he would listen to her prayers and bear her burdens, but first he needed her hand so he could promise her that he would be with her forever starting now, until the day one of them died and he hoped it wouldn't happen until they have had a full life.
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
So forever can begin
Eleven years later Ari still hadn't broken a promise to Ziva, though he knew it would end soon; he had realized how horrible their father has come and tried to get out of Mossad starting a new life with Ziva but he knew it would never happen. He sat there in his safe house saying those same words he had heard Ziva say so many times over the past Eleven years.
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Then something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
And you are not alone
Ziva knew that the time with her brother was running out, he was becoming a monster and even though Ziva loved him with all her heart, she had to kill him before he completely got out of hand and she knew that it had to be her to kill him not some other person. She knew that when ever she needed him, he would drop everything to be with her.
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
The last time they were together completely was on Tali's twelfth anniversary. They both sat there singing the song they knew off by heart by now.
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
As the last time they would be together was when Ziva was escorting Ari's body back to Tel-Aviv for burial. He was buried with his mother in a different cemetery. After everyone had left she sung it one last time to him. He didn't deserve it after everything he had done but Ziva needed closer and this was it. She knew she wouldn't be back there for some time so she wanted to get it out of the way.
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone
