A/N: This is an AU story I guess it would be classified as I'm not really sure. It will tell the story of Kensi's past life and how her and Deeks path crossed before they ever met at NCIS. This is a Densi story eventually but this story will mainly be focused on Kensi and what happened to her after her father's death, how it changed her, and why she became the person she is today. I decided to write this story because as of lately I have been reading a lot of people hating on Kensi and its driving me nuts. Ok sorry for the rant. Hope you enjoy!

They say your destiny is already written. Destiny is not a chance, it's a choice. Every choice we make, everything we do or don't do. Everybody we love, everybody that breaks our hearts, everything, it happens for a reason. A reason that at the time maybe unknown to us, but in the end we will know that reason, and our destiny will be revealed.

"Kensi, are you here?" Her father called out to her. There was no response. Donald already knew with out a doubt where she was, if she wasn't in her room, she was in her favorite place in the world.

He turned ,and headed out the front door that he had just came in only moments before. This time he headed around the back of the house, and towards the lake that bordered the backside of their property. It was beautiful here this time of year. It was the time right at the end of the summer when change was in the air. You could feel it, you could smell it, hell you could even taste if you tried hard enough. The lake was Kensi favorite place to escape to, whenever she was sad, or angry, or confused, this is where she would go to figure things out.

"I don't want to talk about." Kensi said as she heard her father's approaching footsteps.

"Don't want to talk about what?" He asked, as he sat down on the ground beside his daughter.

Kensi had her back propped up against the tree, she sat with her knees to her chest, and both arms wrapped around her knees.

"Whatever it is you came down here to talk to me about." She said as she turned to look at her father.

"I just wanted to know how your first day at school went?" He questioned.

"Just like all the others first days, at all the other schools." She explained.

"It went that good uh?" He joked.

"Anyone ever tell you that your since of humor sucks dad."

"Your mother always did. What went wrong this time Kensi?" He questioned.

"People, people are what went wrong." She said harshly. "I don't fit in anywhere. The girls are to whiny and the boys are asses." She explained to her father.

Donald laughed, "The boys are only asses cause they know you could beat them up." He said nudging his daughter's shoulder with his own. "And the girls, well… Ok I have got nothing there." Her dad replied.

"I don't belong anywhere dad. I'm just a broken mess, that gets moved around from place to place. I have no friends, no family besides you. Your all I have." Kensi said sadly.

He reached over wrapping his arm around Kensi's shoulder, "You know what they say about being broken Kensi?" He asked.

"No, but I have a feeling you're about to tell me."

"The most beautiful things are the easiest to break." Donald explained.

"Thanks dad. I think." She laughed.

"Come on, lets go get something to eat I am starving." Donald said, standing up from his position on the ground he reached his hand down to Kensi.

"Sounds good to me." She said taking his outstretched hand.

"What do you want for dinner?" He asked as they made their way back towards the house.

"I don't care as long as I don't have to cook."

"Cook are you crazy? I would never make you cook. Besides we just moved here I'd like to have a house left for a little while longer."

"Dad!" Kensi said.

"What? I cant help you take your cooking skills after your mother. Thank God you got your looks from me." Donald explained.

"Yes, lets thank God for that." Kensi said rolling her eyes to her dad, "I will beat you to the house." Kensi said right before she took off running.

"No fair! You cheated!" Donald called out his daughter.

A/N: So this is the first chapter just trying establish the relationship with Kensi and her dad. What do you think? Thoughts, ideas, suggestions? I would love to hear them all.
