Thank you for reviewing! For those who haven't seen this yet: .com/watch?v=jmDVoK2eIKQ McSwarek! :D But who is that at 0:09? Luke or someone else? It's hard to tell. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Sam only made it a couple of steps before a wave of guilt washed over him. He felt knots in his stomach. He could not urge himself to take any more steps forward. Working undercover, he had perfected the art of lying, but this was different. This was real life, and it wouldn't kill him to tell the truth. In fact, lying probably was not in his best interest. As he had once said to Andy herself, secrets don't come out all neat and tidy. Sam turned around just as Andy opened her door.

"Sam, you forgot your notebook!" said Andy, holding it up.

"Oh, right," said Sam. He took it from her. Andy turned away to go back inside.

"Wait, Andy," said Sam, making her turn around. "He never called me."

"What are you talking about?" asked Andy.

"Frank," answered Sam. "It wasn't him that called me just now."

"Then who was it?"

"It was Monica."

Andy's eyebrows shot up, but she did not say anything. She waited for Sam to explain himself.

"She says she wants to talk to me and I think it has something to do with what happened to you," explained Sam. "She doesn't want you to know, I wasn't supposed to tell you that she called. But I can't lie to you! That's not the type of person I am and that is not the type of relationship that I want us to have."

Andy took a few minutes to absorb what he had just said. She slipped into her apartment to grab her purse and slip on some flats.

"I'm coming with you," she said.

Andy closed and locked the door.

"Andy, are you sure?" asked Sam.

"This is not up for negotiation."

Sam helplessly followed Andy down the hall. Sam was starting to regret his decision, but it was too late now. Andy was coming with him and there was nothing he could do to change her mind. He just hoped Monica had enough sense to downplay whatever part she had played in Andy's incident. But what had she done- and why?

"Sam?" asked Andy. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes," he said. "Sorry."

They had reached St. Mike's hospital. Sam and Andy got out of the truck. Sam texted Monica to inform her of his arrival. He read her reply and pocketed his phone.

"She's meeting us here," said Sam.

Andy nodded and they waited in silence. Monica appeared about five minutes later. She seemed shocked to see Andy, but continued towards them anyways.

"Hi," Monica said softly.

Sam just nodded. "What did you want to talk to me about?" he asked.

"I was jealous!" Monica blurted out. "I still have feelings for you! I'm so sorry!"

"What did you do?" asked Sam.

"I know Pete from college," said Monica. "We reconnected a when he broke a couple of ribs a three months ago. Pete was single and looking for a girlfriend. I thought that if I told him about Andy, and he asked her out, that you would move on, Sam! Andy, I am so sorry! I didn't want you to get hurt! I just wanted Sam back."

"You can't have him back, that's impossible," said Andy. "He wasn't yours to begin with!"

Andy turned back towards the truck and Sam made to follow her. Monica grabbed Sam's arm.

"Sam..." she started to say.

Sam quickly jerked his arm away from her. "I have nothing to say to you," he said.

He walked to the truck and slammed his door behind him. Andy and Sam drove back to her apartment without a second glance.

When they arrived, Sam began to feel nervous again. He had no idea what was going on in Andy's head. He had lied to her, betrayed her trust. She had every right to be mad at him, to hate him. Andy opened the door to her apartment and stepped in.

"Andy, I really am sorry t hat I lied to you earlier," he said. "Are you mad?"

"I am mad, Sam," said Andy. "I am extremely angry, but not at you. You turned back and told me the truth. You may have lied at first... but in the end you told me the truth. That means the world to me."

"Can I come in?" he asked.

Andy nodded and stepped aside. Sam walked in and closed the door behind him.
