SBHNH: My apologies for the long wait. Life got in the way, and My Ipod decided to delete all my notes, which is where I had, like, the next 5 chapters written up... Damn.

But Yes, Hope you enjoy this :-)

I rolled onto my side and tried to feign sleep.

"Ziva. What do you mean?" I tried keeping my breathing even and steady, praying she would believe I was asleep and she would leave me alone.
"No-one falls asleep that quickly Ziva. What did you mean, we're the same?" I sighed before rolling back over.

"We've both lost people who are important to us. Now goodnight Abigail."
And with that I rolled on my side and internally made the decision not to answer anymore questions from Abigail. I couldn't go there, not again.

"Ziva!" I awoke to the sound of my Father shouting me from downstairs.
"It is time to get up! You have the doctor appointment today!" I sighed. I had forgotten that I had no school this morning, due to a follow up Doctors appointment.

"Yes Father." I shouted back as I stumbled blearily out of bed and headed towards the shower, my bare feet making slapping sounds on the wooden floor. I made my way to the bathroom, instinctively knowing that shower was gooooood!
Ziva brain turned cavewoman brain first thing in the morning.
Locking the bathroom door and stepping out of my teddy bear pyjama's and turning the shower faucet on.
Fumbling my way under scalding water I relished the feeling of the droplets slowly dripping down my body.

I relived last night as my brain began to kick in under the constant pound of water hitting tiles. I hoped that Abigail wouldn't push the questions again. I hated not answering, but it was either that or lie, and I hated lying more.

Stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around my frame I made my way back to my bedroom, pausing briefly during my dressing to glance at my bed, or more specifically, the wall next to my bed.
I assumed that Abigail had already left for school, so I continued to dress, hastily tying my wet hair into a tight ponytail before dragging myself downstairs to eat.

"So everything seems fine with you, would you like to know about..."

"No!" I didn't mean to be rude to the kind nurse, but I really did not want to know. It was one of those subjects that would just result in a complete and utter breakdown for me, so it would be best to just avoid it.

"Oh, okay." Suddenly I was immensely grateful that she refused to let my Father into the room without my permission, as this would have been made a thousand times worse by the disapproving looks he would have given me.

"Is that it for today?" I ask, praying to get out of there as quickly as possible. I hated these appointments with a fiery passion.

"Yes..." The nurse said, before she managed to get out the end of the sentence I had grabbed my bag and had raced out the door, practically teleporting myself into my dad's car.

As I entered the school, I could see Abigail sat with Tony, Gibbs and she was leaning against someone I had never seen before. I almost didn't approach them, until I heard Tony call me over.

Abigail smiled up at me, before introducing the person she was leaning on as Mikel Mower. He leered up at me, not meeting my eyes in the slightest. I almost said something, but then I saw the happy look on Abigail's face and decided against it.

Instead I decided to make an excuse and leave. I couldn't be there... Mikel reminded me of... No. It cannot be happening again!
