Chapter 10

McGee suddenly appeared outside Abby's apartment door. The last place he was before Leo picked him up. He looked at Kate's necklace smiling before placing it in his pocket. He then checked his face to see that his cut and Band-Aid were gone and his hand was healed up. He held the Big-Gulp up and took a sip to see that it really was a Caff-pow. He knocked on Abby's door and waited for her to answer.

"McGee," Abby said as she answered the door and hugged him, "Your finally here."

"Yeah, of course."

"You bought me a Caff-pow?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Thank you so much."

Abby grabbed McGee by the hand and led him to the sofa.

"So you said you needed someone to talk to," McGee asked as Abby grabbed his arm and sat down next to him.

"Yeah. I am just feeling sad and alone."

"Why?"

"As you know today is Kate's birthday."

"Oh Abby."

"I miss her McGee. She was my best friend. I use to talk to her all the time."

"I miss her too Abby. It's sad to see her gone. But we can't change the past, instead we have to learn to live on."

"I don't know if I could."

"Kate would want you happy. She wouldn't want you worrying about her all the time. She would want you to keep going."

"I know. But I still miss her."

"Well she's watching out for us up in heaven and I'm always here for you Abby whenever you need me."

"Thanks McGee. You know the right thing to say. It's a shame you never got the chance to date her. "

"Uh, really?"

"Yeah, now that you've grown and are more confident, she would have liked you. You two would have been a good couple."

"But then I wouldn't have you."

"If you were with Kate I wouldn't mind. I would be happy for you two."

"Really?"

"Yeah, really."

Still holding on to his arm, Abby sat up and looked at McGee

"Tim, could you do me a favor?"

"What?"

"Please don't ever leave me."

"I would never leave you Abby. I'm here to stay for you, always."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"Thanks McGee."

Abby leaned in and kissed McGee on the cheek, then she rested her head on his shoulder. McGee smiled and held her hand, which Abby responded by squeezing his. He wiped her tears coming off her bright green eyes and kissed her forehead.

"I love you McGee," Abby said.

"I love you too Abby."
