Chapter 2 - Andy

Andy left the station doing her jacket up a little higher as the wind blew. She really wished she would have grabbed her scarf this morning. She was about a block from the station when Nick's car pulled over beside her.

"Need a ride?" he said unlocking the doors.

"No thanks Nick, I'm okay with walking" She said pulling her bag higher on her shoulder.

"McNally!" he shouted as she started walking. She hated when he called her by her last name. Only because it reminded her of Sam. She really needed to stop by the hospital and check on him. She hadn't seen him since he coded in the OR and the nurses kicked her out. She didn't want to go at the same time because of what she had said in the ambulance. It was all true, he was her story and she loved him, but he was with Marlo. That complicated things.

"Andy, get in the car. Just because we broke up doesn't mean we can't be best friends" Nick said with a reassuring smile. She gave up and knew he wouldn't give up so she got in the car silently as he put it in drive and continued to drive.

"So, what did Frank say?" Nick asked as he played with the radio.

"Suspended for a month, then desk duty for 2 weeks. What about you?" She said as he finally settled on a station. Let her go - Passenger came on, She loved that song.

"2 weeks suspension then back on full duty."

"I'm sorry Nick. You didn't do anything, I should have never told you." She said as she looked out the window.

"Andy, it's okay. That's what friends are for. I'm glad you told me. It shows how much you trust me."

They rode in silence for the rest of the way back to her apartment, only thing playing was that song. 'Only know you love her when you let her go. And you let her go'

"Thanks for the ride Nick, you really didn't need to!" Andy said with a half smiled as she pulled herself out of her little world.

"Andy, seriously its fine. But I do have a question for you." Nick said as he turned the radio down. She looked over to him and her heart started racing.

"Uhm, Andy. Will you be my break-up buddy?" He said with a straight face. Looking up at her before bursting out laughing. "I'm kidding Andy! Jeez! Any ways I gotta go, talk to ya later buddy"

Andy stood outside on the side walk for a couple minutes before going inside. Nick was such a good friend but she couldn't be with him anymore. After watching Sam die and come back to life she realized how much she loved him and couldn't live without him.

She unlocked the door and walking inside her apartment. It was so messy, dirty dishes in the sink, clothes draped on the furniture. "Good thing I have a month off" she said as she slammed down on her couch. She sat in silence and closed her eyes. She was almost asleep when her phone went off. She dug in her bag and saw it was a text from Marlo. "I'm leaving Andy, I'm moving to Miami to live with my sister. I just can't be here any more. Thanks for everything you've done for me. I know it wasn't easy. Take care of Sam. You have his heart."

She stared at the phone re-reading the message over and over again. You have his heart.

She grabbed her bag and ran out the door. She needed to talk to Sam. She needed to make sure he's okay.

Andy got to the hospital in the fastest time possible. She stood at the reception desk and was trying to get the room number Sam was in, the skinny red-haired nurse wouldn't give her his room number. "Listen Miss, visiting hours are over! Its 9pm. Go home and try again tomorrow" she said popping her gum. Andy didn't feel like arguing today so she turned to walk away when she heard her name.

"Officer McNally is that you?" she turned around to see Monica standing beside the red-haired bubble gum popping bimbo.

"Monica, hey." Andy said running her fingers through her hair, she was the second last person Andy wanted to run into.

Monica turned to the red-haired nurse and spoke in a loud whisper. "Look Ashley, Officer McNally is on Detective Swarek's list. So she can come and go any time she wants. Andy follow me I'll take you to Sam"

They walked down the hallway in silence until they reached Sam's room.

"Thanks Monica" she whispered before opening the door.

Inside the room Sam looked so peaceful, he was asleep so she didn't want to wake him. She looked around the room at all the pictures the Leo had drawn and one caught her attention. It was a picture of Sam, Traci, Leo and Andy. It read "Get better soon Uncle Sammy, Aunt Andy is sad that you're hurt." Tears threatened to spill over. Pull it together McNally, this isn't the time to get all emotional! She took a seat in the big chair next to his bed and decided she wasn't leaving the hospital. Even if it meant being there all night.

Welcome to the bottom! Let me know what you guys think. Sorry the chapter is so short. My sister was in the hospital all night last night and I'm running off 4 hours of sleep. Next chapter will be longer :) Thanks for all the support! Have a great day! - C.
