Little Angel
It had been six months since that day at Southbank slowly be surely Kate's memory returned, and things started to go back to the way they used to be well almost. Tony and Kate were a lot closer then what they had been before. That didn't stop them from fighting over little things, that still bugged each other. Ollie and Tess found that they like Kate just as much maybe even more then they liked Annette. Kate couldn't believe Tony had let her work in a bar. He laughed and made some reference to Violet from Coyote Ugly. Which she proceeded to hit him for time and time again. This was a part of her he loved so much and missed that he did it continually till she got annoyed and stopped hitting him.
It had been a Monday a windy rainy day one that people were better of lock indoors. The four of them had been watching DVD's all curled up under blankets. When the phone rang. Tony got up and answered it. Kate could tell there was something wrong. She got up and wrapped her arms around him as she saw the tears roll down his face. As he hung up he walked out side. Kate followed him.
"What's wrong Tony who was it?" Tony couldn't look at her he didn't want to say he didn't want to know but he did and know he knew what he had to do he had to go home.
"I have to go back Something's come up." he looked up trying to keep the tears from falling.
"What? Tony we're friends close friends you helped get my life back let me help you"
Tony turned to her could he trust her could he really do it. He'd never told her anything this personal before. Although it involved people she knew this was something she hadn't been a part of although he knew if she had been around she would have been in on it one hundred and ten percent.
"Tony you trust me right?"
Tony nodded and looked at her he didn't say anything he just pulled her into a hug tears rolling down his face. He kissed the top of her head and looked down at her. " I have to ask first they might not want you to know"
"Who?"
"I can't say Kate you know if I could I would tell you don't you? well I hope you know that I would tell you every and anything but I can't I need to ask first."
"But who?"
"I can't say I- give me an hour"
Kate nodded and walked inside. Tony walked further out from under the awning. The rain fell down on him. He closed his eyes he wanted to scream he needed to scream. He walked inside again. And beckoned Kate over.
He told her he wanted to talk to her alone. She nodded and grabbed her keys and jacket. They headed over to one place that had come synonymous with their group of friends.
They ran under cover they were the only ones there it seeing it was pouring, the park was empty. Tony pulled out the cell he'd bought here. His hands were shaky as he dialed the number. Kate grabbed his free hand.
'Hello'
"Hey Tim it's Tony"
'Hey She needs her friends and family Tony'
"I know Tim Kate wants to know"
'I'd have to ask Ab's'
"I know that's why I called"
'I'll get her'
A minute later Abby came to the phone.
'Hello' her voice was shaky and cold.
"It's me Ab's"
The young women broke down in tears.
"Abby Kate want's to know"
'Ca-ca-can I tell her'
"Sure"
Tony put his cell on loud speaker they could hear Abby's shallow breathing.
"Hey Ab's"
It was the first time Abby had heard her friends voice in two years. She started bawling.
"Abby tell me please what's wrong what happend?"Kate was starting to get scared what had happend was it any one she knew?
'I- I had a little girl Isabelle just under two years ago, she- was...Amazing Kate she was the happiest little girl. T-T-T I Can't"
Tears were rolling down Tony's face. " I'll do it. Two days ago three here Izzy was killed in a car accident McGee had gotten out to get the mail and Abby to get a toy Izzy had thrown out the window. A car ran into Izzy's side of the car killing her instantly."
Tear were now running down Kate's face her best friend was going through hell and her two best friends were not there to help her through.
"I was Izzy's godfather she didn't have a godmother because Abby said She had one looking over her from above... you well that's when we thought you had died, when we found out you were alive she changed it, you are her godmother legally...Abby was going to surprise you next week they were ment to be flying out. Abby, Tim and Izzy "
Kate tucked her fringe behind her ear and looked out at the rain she didn't know what to say what did you say to your best friend, who'd found out you were alive six months ago. And was planing to visit you. Then a week before leaving to loose a daughter an infant in a car accident and know your best friends are half way around the other side of the world. Not knowing the hell you were going through.
I'm sorry didn't seem enough, Kate wanted to do more she needed to do more. "We'll be there in a couple of days Abby" she said quietly she lent into Tony who again kissed her on the head.
'I-I have to go'
Suddenly the call was disconnected. The friends sat there till Tony got up walking out into the rain. His hands were in the pockets of his jeans. He looked up to the top of the hill. Then he started to run. He ran all the way up not stopping when he got to the top he looked back at the table where Kate was sitting her head in her hands. Trying so hard not cry. He turned around and slowly let out all the air in his lungs.
Then he screamed, roared let everything out in one loud noise. He kicked the tree beside him not feeling the pain that ran up his leg.
"Why Izzy she was only a baby a little girl, who was loved by so many people. Why did you do this to Abby? why her? Why now?" he fell down to his knees. He felt Kate's arms wrap around him. her face pressing into his.
"It's not fair"
"I know" he looked up her eyes were red and he could see the streaks from her mascara even though they were sitting in the rain. He cupped her face and wiped the black lines way she lent into his hand and kissed it.
"Tony, Kate what are you doing out here you'll both get sick"
They looked up to see Ollie and Tess standing under an umbrella.
"Our goddaughter was killed in a car accident three days ago"
"guys, I don't know what to say"
Tony shrugged and got up helping Kate up.
Two days later Tony and Kate had packed a few things up, set everything in order and were sitting in the airport with Ollie and Tess. No one said anything they didn't know what to say.
"Well you guys want our phones they wont work back home"
"Ok"
"flight 735 to LA now boarding"
"Well I guess this is it"
"Yep"
"Come back and visit soon"
"I will"
Kate hugged her friends and picked up her bag. She slipped her hand into Tony's and looked back at her friends she knew that she wouldn't be back anytime soon and they knew it too. That didn't mean they'd give up hope of them coming back. Ollie and Tess waved till they couldn't see them anymore.
"I'll miss them both" Ollie nodded in the short time that both of them had been there they had made such an impact on the lives of the people around them they were not going to be forgotten quickly.
