Tony pressed his fingers harder on her neck, he couldn't press too hard, his hand was shaking from the pain coming from his leg.
"Ziva, please" he begged as he blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall.
He lost her. He actually lost her this time. She was gone, she wasn't going to miraculously come back. She was dead and didn't know how much he loved her. He had the chance to be with her and blew it. There was no way he could ever get that chance back now. Ziva was dead, his Ziva. The perfect little ninja had finally met her end. He should have been protecting her, but he had let her down, he had let her die.
All he could do was stare down at her beautiful, motionless face. Tony glanced at his leg,he was losing too much blood. He just sat there and stared at Ziva, the love of his life, while unconsciousness overtook him.
Tony wanted desperately to wake up, he was sweating and breathing heavily. He just kept seeing her bloody, motionless body on the ground. He felt weak, and helpless, he couldn't do anything to save her,she didn't deserve to die.
Tony tried to open his eyes but they just wouldn't open, they didn't seem to want to open. A part of him wanted to sleep forever and pretend everything was ok, that Ziva was ok.
Tony could tell he was in a bed, he had no idea where or how he got there. Finally Tony managed to pry his eyes open. The image of Ziva's body disappeared and was replaced by his vision, he was in a hospital bed. He looked over to his side where McGee was playing with some fancy electronic device.
"McGeeeeee." Tony said, his voice raspy.
"Tony, you're awake." McGee said happily. How could he be so happy? How could anyone be happy when the most perfect woman in the world was dead?
"You really are quite the investigater" Tony joked,but then he became serious "She's dead."
"Yeah, great shot too, right in her forehead."
"McGee what the hell is wrong with you?" Tony yelled, the machines he was hooked up to stared to beep faster because his heart rate had gone up so high. McGee didn't even care Ziva was dead? Was he really complimenting how good the shot was that killed her?
"What's wrong, Tony?" McGee said, getting scared
"You're complimenting the shot that killed Ziva." Tony said, quietly
"Ziva's not dead." McGee said confused
"She's not?" Tony asked, happier than a little kid on Christmas
"No, she's better than you are actually. She got shot in the abdomen, and when she fell she must have hit her head on something,because she has a pretty bad concussion, but she's been awake for of the blood on her, wasn't hers. She didn't loose much blood" McGee explained
"Ziva's not dead" Tony repeated what McGee had said, a giant grin coming across his face.
"Tony, you're awake." Said a voice from the door. Tony looked over to see Jeanne standing there.
"Yep." He answered.
"I'll leave you two alone." McGee said, walking out of the room.
"This is exactly why I don't like you working at NCIS" Jeanne said, coming over and sitting on the edge of Tony's bed.
"I'm fine though, and this thing doesn't happen everyday." He explained, placing his hand on her cheek and then kissing her. When they kissed it was nothing like when He and Ziva kissed. "It's gonna take more than a few little bullets to get rid of me."
"Tony, this isn't a joke. I can't loose you like that." She said her voice cracking "Next time those 'few little bullets' might not be in your leg, they could be in your chest or in your head, and then you're done."
"But my job stops this from happening to innocent people. It might not have been me and Ziva that walked in there, it could have been anyone, even you. Me being an Agent stops monsters from attacking innocent people that didn't sign up for it. People that don't deserve it. I'm stopping someone else from losing someone." he told her
"You're calling her Ziva again?" Jeanne asked, sounding jealous
"That's what you got out of all that?" he asked, completely shocked.
"Well last time I knew you hadn't even spoken in a week."
"We got over it, our teams had to work together." He said. Jeanne quickly got up and walked over to the door of the room.
"Tony, I know you love your job, and I don't blame you. But I can't be with you if your going to keep working there." she said and he nodded, confirming that their relationship was over.
"Tony!" Abby screamed and ran in his room only moments after Jeanne had walked out of the room and out of his life.
"Hey Abs."
"What did you do to Jeanne? She looked upset." She asked, slightly hoping he would give her the answer that they broke up.
"She can't deal with me being NCIS, so we broke up." he explained
"Then you can be with Ziva now." She said, as if it were obvious
"It's not that simple."
"What's not that simple?" she asked, genuinely confused.
"Me and Ziva. Nothing about our relationship has ever been simple."
"But the fact that you two need to be together is" She hugged him before she left his room, leaving him to think about what she said.
"How's Tony?" Ziva asked when Abby came back into her room
"He seems fine, but that's Tony." She answered, then added "Him and Jeanne broke up."
"Really?" Ziva asked probably sounding too excited. Abby laughed and nodded at her excitement.
"You two can be together now right? " Abby asked, hoping she's get a better answer from Ziva than she had from Tony.
"It is not that simple Abby." Ziva answered and Abby groaned
"That's exactly what he said" She whined
"That is because it is true" Ziva tried to explain.
"I don't understand! You two love each other! How more simple can it get?" Abby reasoned
"I do not know Abby, but I do not know If we will ever be together" Ziva said sadly.
To answer your question 'Chas58' I don't proof read, I skim through, and if I see a mistake I fix it. Notice you're the only one complaining. I'll be making mistakes all thoughout this story, and they're not major mess ups. If I get one letter wrong in a word, you can still figure out what it was supposed to be. & btw, spell check only fixes words that are spelled wrong, so if I write 'first' instead of 'fist' spell check isn't going to know that I didn't mean to write first. So please,get over yourself.
Hope you guys like this chapter, it seems short because of all the dialogue, but the next chapters that are coming up are longer.
