Hey guys! Hope you liked the first chapter. It's my first story, so I'm trying my hardest. Keep the reviews coming! Ideas for future chapters will also be appreciated J
It was a long day for Tony and Ziva. After Ducky finished cleaning her up and doing necessary rape kits and other tests on her, she and her husband were bombarded with numerous questions from investigators in NCIS, FBI, and even the DA. Tony could tell that this was running Ziva down, even if she would never admit it, and asked if they could have a 5 minute break from all the questions. Once the agents left the room, it was just Tony and Ziva.
Tony put his arm around Ziva, and she rested her head against his shoulder. He pulled her into him and wrapped his other arm around her, squeezing her in a tight hug. A single tear fell from her face and onto his shirt.
"Don't cry," he said as he tried to comfort her, streams of tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry, Tony," was all she said before she got up and practically racing out of the room. Tony was confused, but he still got up and ran after her. He saw her walking towards the bullpen and called her name. She turned to see him jogging after him, and made a desperate sprint for the elevator. Tony, due to everything that had happened that day, was faster than she, and caught up with her quickly, right next to their bullpen entrance where the whole team was sitting. He wrapped his arms around her waist to stop her, but this only made her scream and fight him.
"Stop! Ziva, stop!" he tried to control her screaming and writhing. He eventually grabbed her hips and spun her around to face him. She gave in so quickly she didn't even have time to look at his face. The second he spun her around, she lost all control of her body, letting it fall limp as she collapsed into his arms and let go of her emotions. She bawled her eyes out in front of everyone for the first time in her life, not caring who was watching, even though the entire office now had their attention on them.
Abby came up to them and tried to hug Ziva, but Tony shook his head and gave her a look that explained it all: she didn't want to be bothered.
Ziva then spoke up. "I can't do this, Tony."
"It's okay, Ziva. I told you from day one you never had to go on this mission. You could have pulled out any time you wanted."
"No, that's not what I mean," Ziva said. When she saw the confused look on his face, she continued. "I can't keep living like this, this life I mean. I cannot continue waking up knowing that I am going to have the same life forever. I cant do it anymore! I have to leave!"
"Ziva, what are you saying?" When she didn't answer, he pressed on. "Are you saying you want a divorce?"
Ziva, after a moment, looked up at Tony, and a tear slid down her cheek. "I'm sorry…"
CLIFFHANGER! Sorry guys, I had to. Please don't kill me. I promise I will explain everything in the next chapter. You may be mad now, but you're going to be glad she said that in the end. Just trust me on this :p
