Thanks to everyone that reviewed! I appreciate the feedback so much (:


Basically there's so many things that can go on in your life that make everything so much harder. You can always dream of a better world but it doesn't make it so. Then you can think that your life is meant to be the way it is, and nothing can ever get better. There can be many emotions around you, and you can only wish to understand. You can even wish for some of your worst nightmares to go away. Nothing ever really works though. We all still wish though, even though it never works. Wishing is what keeps hope alive.


The world is dark.

What am I supposed to do? Is there anyone here for me? Why am I so scared?

I have to run.

No one is going to help me.

I keep seeing his face.

No, he can't violate me again. He ruined my life, and I can't let him come near me again. I can't let him touch me.

Gibbs must be so ashamed that I didn't fight back harder.

He cut me. He bruised me. He scarred me.

I can never be normal again.

No one will ever want me.

I'm damaged.

Why can't I stop seeing his face.

His smell.

His voice.

His touch.

Someone help me.


Abby opened her eyes to the feel of someone gripping her arms done. She screamed at the top of her lungs, flashing back to the incident. She fought the man, and one her arms got free. She heard the slap of flesh as her hand hit someones face. She heard the gasp, and saw the man wince. The man wasn't who she thought it was. It was someone much more familiar. Someone who she trusted.

"Abby...shhh..." Tony's voice entered her ear. One of his hands rubbed her cheek gently, and she broke into sobs. Her whole body shook as she let the tears flow. The fear she had bottled up in here slowly leaked out. "Oh god..." she heard him whisper.

"I'm so sorry Tony." Abby said in between sobs. She saw him shake his head.

"Don't be Abby."

"I'm so damaged."

"No your not." Tony whispered gently. He pulled her close to his body. She felt his warmth, and now realized that she was wrapped up in a hoodie. She wasn't in the guest bedroom anymore either. She was somewhere she recognized as Gibbs' bedroom. A place she had spent the night in when Mikel had been on the loose. She felt comforted by the smells.

"Gibbs?" Abby asked wiping the tears away from her face.

"He'll be back later." Tony said simply. He gently ran his thumb over her cheek. She closed her eyes, and tried to catch her breath. She had to figure out a way to get there nightmares to go away. She couldn't spend the rest of her life shrouded in fear.

"Can you call him? I want to talk to him." Abby said trying to hide the fear from her voice. Tony nodded gently and reached over for his cell-phone. He dialed Gibbs' number and passed the phone to Abby.


Gibbs was in the FBI building when his phone rang. Fornell sat in front of him, as they discussed what they were going to do. Gibbs hadn't answered any of his calls so far, but he picked up his phone to check who it was. DiNozzo flashed on the caller I.D and he felt the need to answer it. He put his pointer finger up at Fornell, signaling he only need a moment.

"Yeah Gibbs." He answered in his traditional manner.
[Hey.] This voice wasn't Tony's, it was Abby's.
"Abbs, you okay?" He asked suddenly worried that something happened.
[I'm fine, I just was wondering what your doing.] She said. The curiosity was obvious on her voice.
"I'm with Fornell."
[When are you coming back?] Abby asked and the fear was very evident on her voice.
"Soon." Gibbs said sighing gently.
[Okay, Me and Tony are going out to eat. So don't worry if I'm not here when you get back.] She said, and a little happiness entered her voice.
"Okay..." He hesitated slightly.
[Don't worry, Bye Gibbs.] She said cutting their phone call short.
"Bye." He said and the phone cut off. Something was obviously troubling her.

"How she doing?" Fornell asked. He popped a peanut in his mouth and leaned forward slightly.

"She sounded okay for now. Her and DiNozzo are going out to eat." Gibbs said, and jealously leaked right into his voice. He wanted to be the one that was going to take Abby out. No it wasn't a date but still.

"She'll be okay Jethro." Fornell said. Gibbs just nodded his head at that. He sure hoped that maybe she would be okay. He loved her to much to lose her, either physically or mentally.


Well there you go.

Short and sweet.

This was basically a dabble chapter while I think of were I'm going with this.

I take all suggestions with an open mind.

Please Review!
