Chapter 1: Why?

Abby bounced around in her lab to music that was way too loud for any living thing to bare. But Abby loved it. She danced around waiting for a match to fingerprints that Gibbs had given to her. She sipped on her Caf-POW! as she looked at some unknown substance through her microscope. She turned around to write the results when an explosion happened. Major mas-spec exploded and sprayed flames and acid everywhere. Including on Abby. Abby screamed.

Ziva was coming down to see if Abby had results, when she heard an explosion. Ziva rushed into Abby's lab to find Abby on the floor, knocked out and flame everywhere. Ziva rushed in to grab Abby. She didn't care that she was getting burned, she just had to get Abby out of there.

Gibbs came rushing down with Medics and a fire-team.

"What the hell happen, David?" Gibbs asked seeing Abby's unconscious body being wheeled out to the ambulance.

"I do not know. I was just walking down to see if she had results and then i heard an explosion and ran in to find her unconscious." Ziva explained.

"Go with her. Stick with her and call me with an update in an hour!" Gibbs barked.

"Alright." Ziva said hopping into the ambulance before it took off.

(Abby's POV)

Major mas-spec exploded! I couldn't believe it. I'm not even sure what i did wrong. All i know is i felt acid get thrown on my body and face. My eyes burned and i got thrown back. I'm pretty sure i hit my head on the metal table behind me because i past out.

I woke up to blackness. I didn't know where i was. I was sure my eyes were open but i couldn't see. I screamed. I didn't know what else to do. I felt some one grab my hand.

"Shh, i'm here. Clam down Abby." I heard a voice with a think accent say.

"Who are you? I can't see! What wrong with me?" I asked scared and worried.

"It's Ziva. And Abby..." I reached up to Ziva's face to feel where she was.

"Don't say it. No! I can't be! NO!" I cried. I knew what he was going to say. He was going to say, that i was blind.

(Ziva's POV)

I held Abby close to my chest. She wrapped her arms around me and cried. I loved her so much. I wish i could tell her. But i'm sure she hates me now. I was the one to tell her she was blind. For good. The doctors looked at her eyes and examined them. The acid that was splashed into her face damaged her corneas. She will never bee able to see again. My dearest Abby will never be able to see again.

"Abby, please. Stop crying. Please." I say as i rubbed her back.

"I-i c-c-can't. Z-ziva, i'm BLIND!" Abby sobbed into my shoulder.

I didn't know what to say. I was so pissed off at who ever would hurt me Abigail. Even though she didn't know it yet, she was mine and i was her's, forever.

"Ziva? Can you get me some water please?" Abby asked me coughing a bit.

"Yes, i'll be back." I said then left to get her a bottle of water.

As i walked back to the room i heard a crash.

"Fuck!" I heard Abby curse.

"Abby? What are you doing?" I asked when i saw her out of her bed trying to walk.

"Trying to find the fucking bathroom! I'm pissing myself!" She scream at the wall.

"Let me help you." I said then tried to take her arm to guide her to the bathroom.

"No! I can do this!" She yelled at the wall once more then jerked her arm away from me.

"It's ok to need help. Let me help you." I said a little softer.

"No!" She yelled again at the same wall. I walked up to her and face her towards me.

"If you are gunna yell at me, yell at me. Not at the wall." I said.

"I fucking see! Now is not the time to be making jokes!" Abby pouted and almost broke down in tears again.

"Please, Abigail. Let me help you." I said cupping her face in my hands.

"Ok, please, help me to the bathroom. I really do need to pee." Abby said hopping around a bit.

"This way." I said leading her to the restroom.

"Ummmm...can you wait in here with me. I kinda need help finding the toilet and the toilet paper." Abby said shyly.

"Needing help is nothing to be ashamed of. I will stay and help you." I said leading her to the toilet.

All i could think of was Why? Why would anyone wanna hurt Abby? What did she ever do to deserve this curse. Why couldn't i have been there to take that acid to my face? Why couldn't i be the one that lost her sight. Why Abby? Why MY ABIGAIL? I kept asking myself that question as i helped her around for the rest of the day. Finally she fell asleep. And finally cried. I cried for my Abigail. I cried knowing i prolly never be able to tell her i love her.

"I love you Abigail." I whispered to myself.

I knew she couldn't hear me. I just cried before i let sleep take over my body.
