A/N; Hello again! Okay, so I'm going to point out the obvious now that this fic jumps around. This chapter is to the song When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne. I know, that's two by her in a row, but chapter 3 will be something different , I swear. This chapter starts right after Judgment Day.
The only reason this fic is alive is because when I'm at my dad's house, with no internet I might add, I get bored really easily, and so this fic was born. This was originally a one-shot, but then I got bored again when I finished the first chapter, so this may be regularly updated for a while, or until I run out of good songs and/or stuff to write about with no internet. So, enjoy and review!
Disclaimer: Again, I do not own NCIS, its characters or the song When You're Gone. They belong to DPB and Avril Lavigne respectively.
Tony couldn't believe it. Less than a week ago, the director of NCIS, Jenny Shepard, had died in California. When he, Ziva, and Gibbs had gotten home and went to the funeral, Vance had told Ziva she was being deported back to Israel, told McGee he was being sent down to the basement to hang with the other geeks and play on computers all day, told Gibbs he was getting a whole new team, and told him, Tony, that he was being assigned as Agent Afloat on the USS Ronald Reagan.
The team had all said their goodbyes in the Bull Pen and Abby had hugged them all at least fifteen times each. She would still get to see McGee, but hugged him as hard as anyone else anyway.
Tony sighed, looking around the small room that had been his for two weeks now. It looked just like the rest of the ship, gray and small. But at least it was all his. His one sanctuary, for a while at least. He picked up his iPod that he'd gotten as a present from Abby and put it on shuffle. A song he barely new came on and he was about to change it, but then he changed his mind and listened to it anyway.
I always needed time on my own
Never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing, too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day, and make it okay
I miss you
That's exactly how he'd felt these past two weeks. He missed Abby and Ducky and Jimmy and Gibbs and McGee. And Ziva. Especially Ziva. He remembered all the times he'd played a joke on her and she'd gotten him right back, twice as hard. He missed all of their jokes together and the way her eyes would sparkle when she smiled and their movie nights and everything else. He missed her so much it hurt.
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away, I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it okay
I miss you
We were made for each other, out here forever
I know we were yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe
I need to feel you here with me
Sometimes it really did feel like he couldn't breathe without her. She was like his other half; his very strong and lethal other half. Tony wished he could see her again, one last time. The last time he'd seen her had been in the Bull Pen after getting his Agent Afloat orders. He'd wanted to say something, but, surrounded by his friends, and not to mention Gibbs, he hadn't. He'd just hugged her one last time before leaving to go home and pack; he left the next day. He'd wanted to stop by her apartment, but she sent him one last email, saying she had been able to catch an earlier flight to Tel Aviv, so that was her last goodbye. He couldn't bring himself to email her back.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing, too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day and make it okay
I miss you
"I miss you, Ziva," he said to no one in particular, and then the song changed. But all he thought about after that was her.
A/N: Okay, two chapters updated together. What did you think? Should I write more? These might also include McAbby or Jibbs, but they'll mostly be Tiva. Thanks for reading guys! And to all of my A Family Divided fans, I'm trying really hard to get the next chapter up! I've been working really hard on it, so I hope to have it up soon! It's taking longer than I thought it would, but I just went back to school and my life is more busy than you can imagine. But I promise it's coming! Please review! They make my day sooo much better! Thanks!
