A/N: YAAY, here's the next chapter :) Hope you like it and .. um, no, not gonna say this before you read it so read author's note at the bottom ;) Enjoy reading!


The next morning the nurse came to check on Ali and Ziva but Ali succeeded in pretending that everything was just fine. In the afternoon Ali checked her cell phone.

Like a hundred missed calls from Tony, concerned text messages from Tony, a couple messages from Abby, McGee and Gibbs, five missed calls from Ashley and tons of text messages.

And then there were ten missed calls from Andrew and a couple text messages from him. Ali didn't think about it twice. Without even reading the texts or listening to the voice messages she deleted everything from Andrew.

Then she faced Ziva again. "Ziva, please wake up. I need to talk to you. I mean seriously. I don't know what to do about Andrew. Yeah, I kinda miss him. But I can't forgive him for what he did. It was just totally disappointing. I don't know what to do. I seriously don't know. Ziva, I need you by my side. Please, don't leave me.", Ali whispered.

Then she sighted. "Okay, I admit it. I truly miss him. But I don't know if I can trust him anymore. I..", she murmured. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder. Totally shocked she turned around and looked right into Andrew's eyes.

"Hey, Ali.", he whispered. She stood up, her whole body shaking. "What are you doing here?", she hissed. Before Andrew even got the chance to answer she shook her head and pointed to the door. "Leave!", she ordered.

"No, I'm not leaving.", he simply stated. She stepped closer to him. "Leave! Now!", she repeated. He stared into her eyes making her feel kind of uncomfortable. "Ali, please. We need to talk.", he pleaded. "There's nothing to talk about. Leave!", she told him.

Andrew sighted and took a deep breath before starting to talk again: "Ali, please. I'm so sorry for what happened between us. I can't even find words to describe how bad I feel. I'm so sorry, seriously. I miss you, Ali. I really do. I acted like a complete asshole and I'm sorry. I know that apologizing doesn't make up for it but I still want you to know that I didn't mean to hurt you. I don't even know what was going on with me. I didn't mean it that way, I was just.. I dunno. But Ali, I still love you. I never stopped and even though I know that you're never gonna talk to me again I will always love you. You mean the world to me and I just want you to know the truth."

Ali swallowed hard. She hadn't seen a speech like that coming. "You don't mean it.", she accused. "You know I do.", he whispered and stepped closer to her. "Forgive me, Ali. Please.", he begged.

She tried to calm her heavy breathing. It was unfair that he could to that to her. Just him being close to her caused her to have jelly legs and she wasn't able to breathe properly.

She tried to resist him. "I can't.", she whispered. He moved his face closer to hers. "Forgive me.", he murmured again. Ali sighted and then kissed him on the lips like she'd never done before.

She kissed him with all she had, laying all her love in it. And he kissed her back like there was no tomorrow, like their whole lives were tied to that one kiss. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer, never wanting to let her go.

She wrapped one arm around his neck and placed her other hand on his chest, right above his heart. When the need of oxygen became necessary they pulled apart. Andrews rested his forehead on hers.

"I mean it. I still love you and I always will.", he whispered. "I love you, too, idiot.", she replied, laughing a little. Then she kissed him again, this time slowing down the kiss so it was just sweet and loving.

The kind of kiss they needed at that exact moment in time. When they parted Andrew smiled at Ali. "I seriously missed you.", he whispered in her ear. She hugged him close, resting her head on his chest.

"I know you have to go to school tomorrow but..", she murmured but trailed off. "Ali, what is it? You know I'd do anything for you.", he assured her. Ali nodded against his chest, then carefully whispered: "Would you stay the night?"

He placed his hands on her shoulders and made her look at him. "You sure?", he asked. She nodded: "Yeah. Just hold me tonight. Please? I-I haven't slept in days."

Andrew's look grew concerned. "Nightmares?", he simply asked. "Yeah and I'm afraid to actually sleep. I can't really explain why. And all I'm asking from you is to hold me tonight.", she explained.

He softly kissed her on the lips. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere.", he assured her. She smiled at him, thankful that she had him back. "Lets get you into bed, kay?! You need to get some sleep.", he told her.

Ali nodded and went over to the bed. He took off his shoes and jeans. His t-shirt and boxers would do as a pajama. Andrew crawled into the bed and lay down next to her, wrapping one arm around waist.

She casually wrapped her right arm around him, placing her hand on his chest and rested her head on his chest. Andrew placed a kiss to her hair, making her feel extremely comfortable.

"I love you.", he murmured. "I love you, too.", she whispered back. She closed her eyes and for the first time in days Ali was peacefully asleep.


The next morning Ali woke up a lot calmer than all the other mornings. She turned to look Andrew in the eyes. "Good morning, beautiful.", Andrew said, smiling. Ali kissed him softly on the lips.

"Morning.", she replied. "You gotta go to school.", she then told him. "Yeah, I know. But I'll be back later today. I promise.", he assured her. She smiled and kissed him. "Sounds good to me.", she replied between kisses.


Only ten minutes later Andrew was ready dressed. "I have to go home before I go to school. I need to get changed.", Andrew said. Ali just nodded. She leaned against the door frame and looked him straight into the eyes.

"I love you.", she told him honestly. He smiled at her and moved a little closer again. "I love you, too.", he said, then kissed her on the lips. When he broke the kiss he took her hand in his.

"I'll be back. I promise. Take care, Ali.", he whispered. She didn't reply. Instead she gave his hand a gentle squeeze and waved as he made his way down the hallway.


A/N: Oh God, please don't hate me for this chapter! I know that basically all of you hate Andrew after the other story and believe me I was thinking about making him leave forever but right now it seems like a good thing to bring him back. Ali needs someone to hold onto while Ziva is in that critical state, so I threw Andrew back in. Please, please don't hate me. Just try to understand it? Please? ;)
Okay, please leave a review cause I'm truly kinda unsure about this chapter.. Thanks in advance. I really appreciate all your kind words and your support xoxo
P.S. Next chapter will be kinda unexpected but I'm sooooo excited for you to read it! :)
