"FIGHTING"

Chapter 4

Monday morning rolled around quicker than anyone would have wanted, looking into the briefing room you would see numerous officers chatting away with each other, if you looked closely you would see Andy sitting next to Dove who was talking animatedly to Chris as per usual, completely opposite to her who was sitting tensed, feeling as though everyone in the room either knew the truth or was staring her down trying to force her to come clean.

In the corner to the right was Luke…Saturday did not go as planned at all:

"What…what are you saying?" Andy said confused by what Luke had just said to her

"I think we should break up" he said

"Why?" she said, wondering why she was even asking, 'and wasn't this what I wanted to do anyway?' she asked herself

"I don't know how to make our relationship work with our jobs" Luke said, he seemed a bit unsettled but otherwise fine "I care so much about you Andy, but, your just getting started with this and I've been on the job for a long time, and I want to give you your chance to enjoy it"

"I understand…" Andy said "I'm just shocked that, that's what you wanted to talk about today" he took her hand from across the table, a gentle smile on his face

"I didn't want to end us on a bad note" Luke said, "and who knows, we might get together after your rookie time" Andy grinned

"You're so great Luke" Andy said "I don't deserve you"

And now Monday morning, everything continued as if nothing had changed, he even smiled at her, 'why ruin the peace he has now with the devastating news of what she had done', she felt the need to tell him ebb away each day.

And then there was Sam, she was angry at him, more than angry at him…maybe a bit jealous too, but how could he sleep with Gail just like that, as if she meant nothing to him, as if all he had wanted was to nail her and move on. She may be his trainee but so was Gail, she knew him better than this, she knew he wasn't really like this…she also knew that she was partly to blame, but now Luke wasn't an issue, I mean she knew that they weren't going to run off into the sunset together but they deserved some fraction of a chance together, their chemistry wasn't made up, it had been there since the beginning

"Mcnally, hey!" she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Sam calling to her, she noticed that the meeting had ended "I need to talk to you"

"Talk about what Sam?" Andy replied getting up, intending to go find out who she was partnered with for the day

"About Friday night, it's not what you think"

"What do you mean, what is it then? Gail just happened to be half naked in your house for no apparent reason, after you made out in the parking lot at the penny?" Andy asked, turning to face him, anger beginning to bubble inside of her

"Ok yes I kissed her, which was a mistake but-"

"Sam…were you that angry with me? That you had to go to Gail"

"That's the thing I didn't-" he began saying before they were interrupted by an officer

"Hey rookie, let's go!" the officer said, slamming his hand on the doorframe for emphasis

"Coming" Andy said, giving Sam one annoyed look before walking out to start her day.

Finally changed out of her uniform Andy sat down on the bench behind her facing her locker, it had been a long day, filled with regretful run-ins with Gail of course, 'why wouldn't there be'

"That stupid bitch, that dumb stupid bitch! Some of these witnesses drive me crazy" Gail shouted bounding into the locker room raging with anger, unable to help herself Andy rolled her eyes at her, immense irritation obvious on her face, Gail frowned "And what is your problem, you've been on me all day"

"It's…just nothing Gail, nothing" Andy said

"What did I do to you; steal your boyfriend or something?" Gail said taking her jacket off and throwing it in her locker "this is the last thing I need so just spit it out"

"Fine then, did you sleep with Sam?" the words fell out of her mouth before she could stop them

"WHAT? No, why would you even think that?" a shocked look on ails face

"I…I was there, on Friday" Andy said "at Sam's house"

"So? Wait weren't you supposed to go to a holiday inn or something with your boyfriend, why was you even there?" Gail asked

"We're not together anymore, and that's beside the point-"

"No, the point is, I don't owe you an explanation Andy" Gail said "I know you and Swarek have feelings for each other, and to ease your mind, No we didn't sleep together" wanting to ask further questions Andy couldn't bring herself to do it, Gail was right she didn't owe her an explanation, and she didn't have the right to question her, Sam wasn't hers, and he could do as he pleases. She just didn't know what to be feeling…
