Hey everyone,
This is my first Rookie Blue fanfic, so please be nice ;)
I was planning on making this a one-shot, but maybe I'm going to write one for every episode, starting with what if...
So here's the first one: What if the conversation between Andy and the other waitress had lasted a little longer.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rookie Blue or any of the characters. If I did, Sam and Andy would be the ones who were engaged instead of Andy and Luke...
Andy was putting away the last bottles that were left in the bar. She was hoping to catch up on some things going on when the club wasn't opened. But so far, it didn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
"You're off the clock, you can go home now." Tori said.
"Okay, yeah, I was just setting up for tomorrow." Andy said to her colleague. When she looked at her, she noticed she was crying.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
Tori sighed. "You want a drink?" Andy nodded, "Sure."
Sam, Jerry and Traci were spending their time eating the hotdogs Sam had just gotten, drinking coffee to stay awake, and having awkward conversations when they suddenly heard Andy's voice. She'd turned on her microphone. Finally some action, Sam thought.
"So, what does your guy do for a living?" she asked.
"Oh he does all kinds of things," Traci started recording the conversation. "Most of them illegal."
"That must be hard"
"Go Andy…" Traci whispered. Sam also thought Andy was doing great, but he already knew how good she was. She'd saved him when they were undercover together. If she hadn't decided to threaten that guy that was keeping her company, he wouldn't be in this van, he knew for sure.
"It's hopeless," the other waitress again. "I keep trying to end it, and he just ignores me for weeks… I don't hear from him, he doesn't call and than he just shows up and…"
"You can't say no." Andy filled in. "I get it.. I get it, it's kind of exciting and gets your heart going."
"So you've dated a guy like that?" Sam was starting to think this was going somewhere now. She wasn't just fishing for evidence anymore, she was just talking and sharing her feelings.
"Ah, yeah… I think we all have."
"You know, Russell's never even said he loves me…"
"I'm sure he does." Andy said.
"So why can't guys like that just come out and say the way they feel?"
"I wish I knew." Andy answered.
"So your guy's like that?"
"Luke? No, he's great… Sam? Yeah…" Did she forget her microphone was on? Or did she want Sam to hear this?
"Ah, the classical Badboy versus Mr. Nice Guy…" the other woman asked Andy. Andy must have nodded, because a response came soon.
"So what's the deal?"
"Luke, easy. Sam, complicated." Yeah, she definitely forgot to turn her microphone off, Sam thought. He looked at Traci, and she stopped recording, but Sam actually wanted to see where this was going. If there was any chance she rather wanted him than Callaghan, he wasn't going to Guns 'n Gangs, than he was staying.
"Let me guess, that Luke… he makes you happy, gives you flowers, tells you he loves you, but there's no deep feelings, while the other one always has criticism, makes you feel miserable but the tension between you two is undeniable."
"Yeah," Andy said, "Sometimes I think he likes me, but when I was at his place, the night that the power went off, the power went on and I left, everything went back to normal, later he just said that it was what it was."
"But you're with Luke, right?" It was silent for a moment. Sam almost jumped at the thought that she was going to break up with Callaghan.
"So if he's a descent man, he doesn't try to take you away from him. And he's certainly not going to tell you he loves you." The woman said. Right…
"I know, I just wish he did." Whoa! Andy wished Sam would tell her that he loved her? It took him everything not to run in there and tell Andy that he did love her. She turned his whole world upside down. She made him doubt about going to Guns 'n Gangs. When he went undercover he knew that was everything he'd ever want. But now, when he was given the opportunity he wasn't going. He'd just decided, he wasn't going.
"I wish Russell did." the woman said, and she sighed. "To Sam and Russell, that they'll tell us they love us!" Sam heard the sound of glasses tick and raised his cup of coffee. Andy and the other woman were laughing now. Sam heard footsteps in the background. Was that Mackie?
"Whaooo! Your ears must be burning!" the woman said.
"Who's she?" a man said.
"My friend."
"That's Mackie, he's here." Sam said.
"Andy. You're Russell, right?"
"How do you know my name?"
Jerry called for back-up, and Sam was getting ready to get in. He wasn't paying much attention to the conversation on the radio anymore, but suddenly something caught his attention.
"Relax! Stop waving the gun around." Andy said. Shit, he's got a gun, Sam thought. He needed to go in right now. He looked at Jerry and they all got out of the van, into the building. I took a little time to get in, and Sam was getting anxious. They heard gunshots. No! was all Sam could think.
"Police! Don't move!" he shouted. "McNally?" he asked as soon as he saw Andy.
"I'm okay, I don't know what happened, I don't know where it came from!" she answered.
"Police, put the gun down." Jerry said, he found the shooter. Sam was surprised to see Patrick with a gun in his hands.
"Put it down!"
"I'm putting it down.. I was in the back office, I heard yelling. Look, the guy was gonna kill her, she didn't have any back-up."
Jerry and Nash arrested him and took him to the station as soon as another team had arrived to clean up the mess. Sam decided to drive Andy home with her car, he would take a taxi or something, maybe walk back to the station, where his truck was parked.
"McNally!" he called. "Shall I drive you home?"
"Sam, I don't think…"
"saying no is a good answer." He filled in. She gave him a look but didn't say anything. He held up his hand for the keys and she gave them to him.
"You did a good job today." Sam said when they were in the car.
"Thank you." She said.
Sam's phone rang, and when he saw it was Jerry he answered it. Andy gave him another look.
"Sam here."
"Hey Sam, you're coming to the Penny tonight? I mean this morning."
"Eh, I'm with McNally…"
"Ah… you should tell her, dude." Sam opened his mouth to protest, but Jerry said: "And don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, 'cause you do."
"I will if you do." Sam had him with this one. Everyone could see he wasn't over Nash yet. "And don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, 'cause you do." Sam imitated Jerry.
"Eh, sure. If you do to!"
"Yeah, bye…" And he hung up. Andy looked at Sam questioning.
"Jerry," he answered her glance. She nodded. "If I'm coming to the Penny.
They said nothing anymore until they were at Andy and Luke's house. When Andy was about to open the door, Sam grabbed her elbow.
"McNally," he said. She looked at him. "I love you."
So what did you think? Please review! Love you :D
