Okay this is something I came up with on a car ride I took up to the mt.s Honestly all I could think about on the ride was Rookie Blue. Because everything in that town had 'Alpine' on it.

Thanks too Jelly Bean Jenna for helping me.

Let me know how you guys like it.

It's been six months since Andy has returned from UC.

On her return, she found out that Sam has moved on with the new TO Marlo.

Which hurts.

It stings.

Traci is seeing someone new; Chris has his family. Dov and the new rookie Chloe are an item.

Nick and Gail are giving it another try, and seem to be making it work.

Everyone has someone; except her.

Which is okay.

After what happened after shift today she decided she needs a break from relationships anyway.

Flashback

Sam and Andy had to work together today, their paths crossing.

They were late getting back to the barn. So Sam offered her a ride to the Penny.

Andy stupidly accepted, but she didn't know it was a stupid move at the time.

Outside the penny they get into a heated discussion about themselves.

Big mistake.

"You walked away from us again." Sam had told her.

"You broke my heart." She told him.

Sam looked away from her, unable to see the truth in her eyes.

She was right he did in fact break her heart but she broke his too. "Yeah, well you got me back."

They just started at each other after that.

Andy wiped away a fallen tear.

She had broken his heart too. She could never forgive herself for that.

"I'm sorry Sam." She said grabbing her bag and getting out. "Just so you know. I still you love you." Instead of walking into the Penny, she started to walk in the direction of her home.

End flashback.

She decides that she was going to go to Thunder Bay; so she could be by herself and get used to it.

She had already booked a cabin and a rental car.

Now she just has to tell people.

She e-mails Frank first, after all he is the Boss;

Sir,

I'm sorry this is short notice but I just need a break. I know I just got back from UC, but I need a break where I'm not doing anything work related. I just need some time to myself to figure things out. So I'm requesting to put in for my vacation time. I'm sure people will ask where I am. I don't care what you tell them. Just let them know I will be back. Soon.

Thanks

Officer Andy McNally.

Now she was ready to go to take her 'Vacation'.

The next day parade was going to be hard for Frank. He knew that he would be asked thousands of question about Andy. But for today he was going to pass it as she asked for a personal day.

He knew why she sent him the e-mail.

"Alright listen up, nothing new as of now. So the assignments are the same. Except Officer Collins will be riding solo. Serve, protect and don't do anything stupid."

Frank quickly exited the room before the questions started.

Nick came up to Sam. "You gave her a ride last night right?" He asked.

"Yeah," Sam answered.

"Did she seem fine? She never stays off."

"We talked last night." Sam simply said. Also thanking god Marlo wasn't in the room.

Nick raised his eyebrows "About?"

"Us,"

"So she was upset?"

"We both were."

"But you're here and she not."

"I know Nick okay. I'll go check on her." He said getting up.

"No you have done enough damage. I'm pretty sure Marlo wouldn't like you going to check on your ex." Nick said getting out his phone and calling her. "Damn it!" he said as it went to voice mail.

"Marlo and I are over." He told him. "Last night after Andy and I talk I realized we are not over. And I was fooling myself with Marlo. I wanted to talk more with Andy today. So please let me go check on her."

"Fine, but if she throws you out, you call me."

"Thanks." Sam said. He turned and went to get in his truck.

A day later Andy set her bags down in the cabin she rented for a month.

It was beautiful.

It was just what she need.

She had turned off her cell phone no one was going to be calling her anyway.

She had her laptop, the cabin had wifi, so she wouldn't be cut off from civilization.

That was going to be her only connection to the outside world, how people could reach her.

When she went to check her emails, there were some from Traci, Frank and Nick.

They were all asking where she was and if she was okay.

Andy only replied to Frank's to let him know she was safe, and would keep in touch. The last email she read was from Sam.

Andy,

I'm sorry I upset you the other night. I went by your place today. I found your letter to Nash. I took it to her and she told me you were okay. You need a break. And I guess I'm the reason for your break. I would like to talk to you in person as soon as possible. I hope you have fun on your break.

Love

Sam.

P.S I still love you too

Andy reread the email several times thinking it was her mind playing tricks on her.

She came up here to get away from Sam. To learn how to live without him, now he sends her this message. All she can think about is him now. This break isn't going to be what she wanted.

Now that she is over thinking the email.

Continue? Stop? Let me know. Any ideas please share with me.
