Very Important Author's Note: Dear beloved readers, we are gathered here today to celebrate a very special date to me. I didn't tell you anything but I broke my wrist a month ago. Today, I took off the cast and I'm back. And what better way to celebrate that than by posting a brand new story? Well, this is something I've been working on for a few months now and I feel like it's time for you guys to read and tell me what you think about it. I used to write Callen/Kensi but it doesn't feel right anymore. However, I still love Callen's character and I had this idea for a story. I do not own any recognizable characters but Elizabeth Collins (in all her glory) is all mine. This small story will be 5 chapters long and it's a prequel to the story I've been working on for the past three months. This is kind of an insight into the relationship between Callen and Elizabeth, something I'm going to develop in the main story (that I'll post after I post the five chapters of this one).Give me your honest opinion about this and I'll publish chapter 2 of this one tomorrow.
5 things G Callen wishes he could say to Elizabeth Collins
1. "No one cares about you as much as I do."
He learns soon after they become partners that she has brothers.
It's a subject that she doesn't like to talk about and he knows better than to push her.
Callen knows firsthand how it is like to have secrets you don't want anyone to know about.
Elizabeth is definitely that kind of person. She's not the kind of girl someone would peg as a federal agent but she's a damn good one. She's as sweet as can be, something quite surprising to him. A girl who decides to join the army at the age of 18 and that endures that life-style for over 6 years should have had all the sweetness sucked out of her.
But she's sweet and she likes to talk. Her bright green eyes sparkle with excitement whenever they talk about basketball, also known as her favorite sport. Her blonde wavy hair bounces off her shoulders when the subject is so funny she can't help but laugh.
However, if the conversation starts heading towards her family she changes. She seems weaker, sadder. She's not that tall (at least a head shorter than him) and when that happens she looks a lot like a small scared little girl. He can see the ghosts of the past haunting her just by looking into her eyes.
The thought that maybe her past had moments so bad that she can't even talk about it with him makes him shudder.
Elizabeth is sweet.
God, she's so sweet.
He wishes he could tell her no one cares about her as much as he does and that she can tell him everything (that he will never leave her side) but he can't.
G Callen is not the kind of guy who voices his feelings so he just watches as she picks herself up and changes the subject, lightening up the mood with one of her bright smiles.
And he admires her strength.
